That is,riding it is easy, but how it works is complicated. A series of carts areattached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates

Vertically around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simpleas the ride seems, only advanced engineers can make safe and funFerris wheels.What It Lacks in Thrills…While the Ferris wheel is not as thrilling as a roller coaster, it is still very exciting. The fact of beinghigh in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. I mean, how often do you hang fromthat high up in daily life?Nevertheless, I have to admit, I don’t seek Ferris wheels out because of their excitement. Rather,I find them very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris wheel, you get beautiful sights of the park. You also get asense of calm that you don’t get in the hustle and bustle of the park below.

  1. What is a Ferris wheel originally designed for?
  2. What is this passage all about?
  3. What is meant by “excitement”?
  4. Is this passage in third person narration?
