Thewholesurfaceoftheearthwasbeingchanged,meltingandflowingbeforemyeyes.IcalculatedthatIwasbeingpushedthroughtimeathundredsofyearsaminute.时间旅行带来的陌生感和不适感是难以解释的。我感到我好像坐在一部汽车里,飞驰在蜿蜒的道路上。我的速度越来越快，实验室的墙壁随之坍塌，我置身野外。太阳和月亮看起来似乎正被抛向天空，但是很快就有了昼夜之分。环顾四周，我看到树木似青烟升起，不断生长，变得枝繁叶茂，片刻之后枯亡。我看到大楼拔地而起，继而消逝，犹如梦中。地球的整个表面都在变化，在我的眼前熔化、流动。我估算我一分钟要穿越数百年的时间。TheTimeMachine(Adapted)TheTimeMachine(Adapted)Ihadastrongurgetolookattherandomthingsthatwerebeingflashedbeforemyeyes!IhadthoughtabouttheriskofstoppingtheTimeMachinemanytimes.SolongasItravelledatmaximumspeed,itdidn'tmatter.ButifIstoppedandthesamespacewasbeingoccupiedbysomethingelse,wewouldbeforcedtogetherandexplodelikeabomb!Likeanimpatientfool,Ipulledtheleverbackwardshard.Withasuddenjolt,theTimeMachinewasflippedonitsside,andIwasthrownthroughtheair.我有一种强烈的欲望，想看看眼前那些随机闪现的东西!我已多次考虑过停下时间机器的风险。只要我以最高的速度前进，就不会有什么问题。但是，如果我停下来，同空间被别的东西占据，我们就会被挤在一起，然后像炸弹一样爆炸!我就像一个失去耐心的傻瓜，使劲向后拉了下操纵杆。突然震，时间机器侧翻了，我被抛向了空中。TheTimeMachine(Adapted)Iwasstunnedforamoment,andthenheardthesoundofthunder.Iwassittingintheraininsomemudnexttothemachine."Afinewelcome,"Isaid,"foramanwhohastravelledthousandsofyearstobehere!"我一时惊呆了，然后听到雷声。我坐在雨中的一堆烂泥上，时间机器躺在一旁。“对一个穿越了数千年才来到这里的人来说，这欢迎真是别开生面!”我说道。Readthetextagainandanswerthequestions.1234HowdoestheTimeTravellerfirstknowhehastravelledthroughtime?HowdoestheTimeTravellerfeelwhentravellingthroughtime?Whatrhetoricaldevicesdoesthewriterusetodescribehisfeelings?WhyistheTimeTravellerworriedaboutstoppingthemachine?WheredoestheTimeMachinearrivewhenthemanfinallystopsit?Hesawtheclockmoveforwards.Itfeltstrangeandunpleasant.Heusesthesimile:"ItfeltlikeIwasbeing
