_

superhero on Saturday. He tackled a thief who was trying to steal an expensive comic book.

Michael Wong 24, was wearing a Spiderman costume to attend the annual Asian Festival of Comics at the Sunny Sports Club. He saw the man putting the $350 comic book into his sports bag.

There were about 50 people at the festival wearing superhero costumes that day,' said Maddie Tam, the festival organizer. 'We enjoy seeing people dressed up as their favourite characters while they shop for comics. However, we didn't expect to see any of them actually stop a crime.'

The thief did not have a chance to escape. While Spiderman took hold of his sweatshirt, several Star Wars characters blocked the exit. After a short struggle, the embarrassed robber gave the book back.

'At first, I thought it was part of the festival,' said Sharon Luk, a rock climbing instructor dressed as Wonder Woman. 'Reading comics is fun but watching superheroes in action is even better.'

'We were rather surprised when we arrived,' said Police Constable Albert Mak. 'It can be easily seen that Spiderman hates to let criminals get away. Maybe he'll be interested in joining the police.'

'Crime-fighting is easy for Spiderman,' Mr Wong said, laughing. 'The poor man was a bit unlucky as I teach judo(柔道) lessons here at the club.'

The traditional baths of Turkey (土耳其)

Hamams or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish culture. They represent an important piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the

B) advertisement

C) comic strip

D) science

B) organizer C) club member

D) judo coach

_

past. However, these bath houses are quickly 75 because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.

Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years. Traditionally, all kinds of people went to hamams because Islam has strict taws for cleanliness. Believers must wash themselves 76 , especially before their daily prayers (祷告). As most people in Turkey didn't have running water in their homes, the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean, relax, and catch up with friends.

Today, however, the tradition of going to the hamam is dying out for many young people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at home.

77 , Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days, instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract foreign tourists.

A typical 78 at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will also be able to change into the Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into the hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house massseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately (分开地) , but their experiences are very 79 .

Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish culture. An experience in one of Istanbul's famous bath houses should not be

_

80 on any visit to Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure. . ( )75. A) developing down
