38、ights” for Halloween. On her blog,Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer. Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through “Diagon Alley” and by giving a passwordwhile a “S
39、orting Hat” would decide the seating plan. After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed(被加标签)eventit wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying:“While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission woul
40、d amount to an infringement of Wamers rights.” The letter added:“Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a generic wizardHalloween night at the Underground Restaurant.” Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: “JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and havi
41、ng donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企业家的)and creative”. The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-pr
42、ofit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.

Ms MarmiteD Two-thirds of the worlds major rivers have now been disrupted(中断)with more than 50,000 dams in an attempt to stole water and provide powerIn the US,there are more than 85,000 dams,disrupting large and small rives, and in m
47、ost cases transforming natural flowThe most famous of these,the Hoover Dam, constructed in the l930s,is mainly responsible for the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean. Dams, besides all their attractive benefits, also have negative impacts. Creating a reservoir means a large are
48、a must be floodedCommunities may lose their land, houses and culturally impotent sites. Environmentally, the new reservoir can be a paradise for wildlife, especially birds. However, it can cause greenhouse gas emissions(排放)and poison the water for fish. Also, the dramatic rise and fall of water leve
49、ls during dam releases is too extreme for plains and animals to cope with, resulting in dead zones around the shores of reservoirs. Fish that lay their eggs in the shallows,for example, may find a few hours later that those sites are high and dry. Dams dont just block water flowThey also prevent fis
50、h migrations, and are a barrier to sediment (沉淀物)flows. Instead of rushing downriver, sediments get backed up against the dam wall, which cause the reservoir level to increase over timeHowever, sediments which are rich in nutrients have become a problem. The fertility of the entire system can be inf
51、luenced, with soils lost during seasonal rains not being replaced. Perhaps the biggest problem can be seen in deltas(三角洲),often host to large cities,which are sinking into the oceans.

The classic symbol of the American West is now a main item in wardrobe around the world.
57、But why? The reason for jeans success has as much as to do with their cultural meaning as their physical construction. Invented by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1873, jeans were first designed as work wear for laborers on the farms and mines of Americas Western states in the late l9th century. The
58、y proved extremely comfortable and durable(耐用的)and were soon in high demand. But the first explosion of jeans into world of casual-wear(便装)had more to do with what jeans had come to symbolize. When they did start to be worn as casual wear, jeans became a symbol of rebellionthe spirit captured by Mar
59、ion Brando in his l953 film The Wild One and by James Dean two years later in Rebel Without a Cause, Jeans were soon banned in schools from coast to coast which only added to the passion with which teenagers embraced them. But jeans popularity kept growing also because they put different classes on
60、a level playing field. They were affordable and hard-wearing, looked good worn as well as new, and didnt have to be washed often or ironed at all. They conformed to the body in a way that matched even the most finely tailored clothes. This became especially important for women because then,and now,
61、they paid more attention to fit. This versatility(多用途),the ability to become all things to all people,is the secret to jeans survival as a wardrobe item.56By whom were jeans worn at first?
