Because of global warming, all kinds of pollution and human activities, some beautiful sights around the world may not be seen in the future. Let's have a look at them before they are gone.

The Great Wall, China

The Great Wall has a history of more than 2,000 years. But 51.2 percent of it has been either lost or at risk of disappearing. Besides the influence of wind and rain erosion(侵蚀), the main reasons are human factors such as tourism and human contact.

The Dead Sea, Jordan

At 423 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that even tourists who can't swim will be able to float. But it has lost a third of its area in the past 40 years because of the mineral(矿) industry and farming.

Itzhak Perlman was born in Israel(以色列)，in 1945. Today he lives in New York City. But his music has made him a citizen of the world. He has played in almost every large city. He has won many Grammy awards for his recordings. He has also won Emmy awards for his work on television.

Itzhak Perlman suffered from polio (脑灰质炎) at the age of four. The illness damaged his legs. He uses a wheelchair or walks with the help of crutches (拐杖)on his arms. But none of this stopped him from playing the violin. He began as a young child. He took his first lessons at the Music Academy of Tel Aviv(特拉维夫音乐学院). Very quickly, his teachers realized that he had a special gift.

At thirteen he went to the United Sates to appear on television. His playing earned him the financial aid to attend the Juilliard School in New York.

In 1964, Itzhak Perlman won the Leventrit Competition in that city. His international fame had begun.

His music is full of power and strength. It can be sad or joyful, loud or soft. But people say it is not the music alone that makes his playing so special. They say he is able to communicate the joy he feels in playing, and the emotions(激情) that great music can express.

Anyone who has attended a performance by Itzhak Perlman will tell you that it is exciting to watch him play. His face changes as the music from his violin changes. He looks sad when the music seems sad. He smiles and closes his eyes when the music is light and happy. He often looks dark and frightened when the music seems dark and frightening.

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan honored Itzhak Perlman with a Medal of Liberty. In 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert(沙漠) or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention can help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user's position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting (绕轨运行)the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like Watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 58. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people

A. can't be lost in a new city

B. can't find their way in different countries

C. can spend the least time getting to another place

D. can learn about the culture of an unknown place

59. The underlined word \“______”

A.Receivers B. GPS devices C. Satellites D. Ground stations 60. The passage is mainly about

A. the history of the GPS B. the three parts of the GPS
