Want to see a UFO? Come to Scotland．Want to see a legendary monster? Stay in Scotland．Around 300“Unidentified Flying Objects’’are noticed in Scotland each year, and

it’s never news if people say they see Nessie somewhere near Loch Ness．

Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland．It’s a very deep and cold lake．For hundreds of

years，people have talked about a monster called Nessie which lives in the lake． What does Nessie look like according to some witnesses? About eighty years ago，two

people first saw something moving in the lake．They said that the animal was playing and

rolling around in the water．Since then many people say they have seen the monster．Their

descriptions are always the same．It looks like a dinosaur，with a very long neck and a small

head．It has a big bump(包，肿块)on its back．People have tried to photograph the animal，

but the pictures have not been very clear．Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not．Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish．Some think it’s a snake．Others say

there’s nothing at all—nothing but people’s imagination．Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness．

Now, one Internet fan called Jason Cooke says that he found the legendary Loch Ness

monster in satellite images on Google Earth．Jason told the newspaper, “I couldn’t believe it．

It’s just like the descriptions of Nessie．”A researcher on the Loch Ness project called the

fresh photos “really interesting and might be helpful” and said further study should go on．

55．People find_______ in Scotland．

A．UFOs and ghosts B．ghosts and monsters C．UFOs and monsters D．monsters and dinosaurs

56．People first reported to find monsters in Loch Ness______ years ago A．300 B．30 C．800 D．80

57．From the article we can learn that_______．

A．scientists are still not sure whether there is a monster in Loch Ness B．Loch Ness is a very deep and warm lake in Scotland C．people have taken very clear pictures of Nessie D．in fact Nessie is a whale or a snake

It’s something familiar to all parents of young children：you’re in a busy shopping street

and your child wants to pee(小便)and he just can’t hold it any longer．But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve(释放)himself has caused much attention in China．

By now, it seems，the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a

crowded Hong Kong shopping street．A mother holds a nappy(尿布)while her two-year．old

pees．A passerby took pictures which then were put online．The woman explained that they

had found a public toilet(厕所)but saw there was a long queue，so she had no other choice

but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead．

Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to

“answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2，000 Hong Kong Dollar($250)fine(罚款)．But the on-line chatter has

put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland

China．rather

than being locals．“For Hong Kongers，people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules，”says Martin Yip of BBC．

Charmaine Chui，who was born in Hong Kong，told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants．“Hong Kong is a beautiful，

modem city．What do these people think of it?”she says． In mainland China，there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior．But most of the

people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for

their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground。

58．The child peed_______ in HK．

A．on a crowded shopping street B．in a public toilet C．at home D．in a restaurant

59．The underlined phrase “answer the call of nature．”means_______． A．回归自然 B．接自然打来的电话 C．上厕所 D．接电话

This summer,19-year-old Peng Shuhan from Nankai Secondary School got an offer from one of the world’s top universities---Deep Springs University．Any excellent high school

graduate may find himself not good enough when they are fighting for a chance into Deep

Springs．For millions of high school students across the world，Deep Springs is just like a dream，a dream too good to become true! This university is different from the others not only

because of its special school culture but also super-strict rules．Besides，its students，all boys

now, have to study for only two years in the dreamlike college．

Deep Springs University is a non-public college in Deep Springs，California，

the United States．It now has 26 students．From its birth in 1917，the college has boy students only，and

it began considering accepting girls not long ago．Tuition and board are free here--each

student receives a scholarship(奖学金)valued at about$50，000--which makes Deep Springs

one of the few free colleges in the US． Students at Deep Springs study philosophy and international relations--but they are also

seen herding cattle．Students must spend at least 20 hours a week doing work in the field to keep everything going：cooking，cleaning，gardening，milking cows，killing chickens for

lunch，sorting library books and fixing vehicles．

As a two-year college，Deep Springs does not bestow degrees(授予学位)．After two

years learning here，graduates go on with their study in the outside world and most graduates

end up at Ivy League schools like Harvard and Yale．This college highly values “knowledge，

field．work and self-rule．”After hard work both in and outside the classroom．graduates of

Deep Springs are expected to get ready with their inner peace and a caring mind so that they

would like to do all they can to help make the world a better place．

“The desert has a deep personality, it has a voice．Great leaders in all ages have sought the desert and heard its voice．You can hear it if you listen．．．Gentlemen，you came to prepare
