I love the casual atmosphere and the tasty foods. There’s nothing like watching a cascade of popcorn flowing out of the machine. In fact, I eat so much of it that my friends call me “the cast-iron stomach.”I especially enjoy the wide variety of entertainment, including the animal shows. The lions are the most exciting because they’re carnivorous. Imagine the carnage if they ever escaped their cages. I would suffer a cardiac arrest. I’d probably be the first casualty since I’m so fat and slow. That’s why I also like the tortoise. He’s sluggish, just like me, although I don’t have a huge carapace on my back to slow me down. It looks like he’s carrying cargo in that big shell of his. However, the cardinal rule is not to bring too much money.You can buy lots of things at a carnival. You can shop for 24 carat gold jewelry. You can ask an artist to draw you a caricature of a famous person. You can watch someone carve your name into a piece of wood. You can even buy a type of superglue that comes in two parts. After you use the catalyst to catalyze the glue, it takes only five minutes to form a solid bond.There are a lot of unusual attractions too. Often, there will be a fortuneteller who will seem pretty skilled at predicting cataclysms. Sometimes, they will have a wizard who pretends to cast spells.Occasionally, there will be a show that appeals solely to carnal desires. I always stay away from these shows. The last night thing I need is to be castigated by my parents, again!记单词carapace n. （蟹或龟等的）甲壳carat n. （宝石重量单位）克拉cardiac adj.心脏的cardinal adj. 1. 首要的，主要的 2.[鸟]红衣凤头鸟（一种美洲鸟，雄性有深红色的羽毛）cargo n.船货，货物caricature n. （滑稽模仿的）讽刺画，漫画carnage n. 大屠杀，残杀carnal adj. 肉体的carnival n. 狂欢节carnivorous adj. 食肉的carve vt. 切开，雕刻cascade n.1. 小瀑布 2. 一连
