The air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your   601    to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the    602    of  a  friend’s  yacht (游艇）.Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.
Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand    Prix is    603   , but all of them are fast  and modern. The race course also    604    as  being  complex  and  difficult,  with   a  frightening hairpin (发夹）turn along a very narrow street.    605    these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take over. Even    the slightest    606    could turn a multi- million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down    607    as one of the world’s finest drivers.
Indianapolis 500
On race day the grandstands (大看台）are filled with excitement as you enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat,    608    yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval (椭圆形的）track below. Moments later, a fleet of Indy Cars rolls onto the track,    609    themselves in 11  neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.
Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indy cars are more uniform in their    610   . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long,    611    three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each   car is managed with short stop. The driver’s excellent team performs    612    at amazing speeds. The dangerous nature of this  race requires    613    communication between the drivers  and their teams.  They  must  plan short stops    614    or the driver  loses precious time  and it  could    615    them the race.
