17、iend. It sounds like a lifetime TV movie. Back in high school in Chicago, Sue Napolitano and Larry McNevin were just friends. They wore jackets and were always sitting on the bridge smoking. But neither gave the other a romantic thought. In fact, asked to describe each other back in those days, Sue
18、and Larry both came up with the adjective: “nice”. On Sept. 11, 2004, after 35 years, the high school friends were about to find out how nice “nice” could be.

19、s. That friend suggested he call Sue.Then Larry and Sue talked from the topics of music to food and found they shared similar tastes.

20、f marriage, and Larry, who divorced in 1997, began calling and e-mailing each other daily. A month later Sue flew to Chicago. Larry and Sue hugged and cried when they met at the airport. They were like two lovers separated for years. On April 11, 2005, while the two were in Las Vegas, they got marri
21、ed. After the wedding, Larry said it made more sense for him to move to Phoenix, since he planned on retiring to someplace warm, and few places are warmer.

24、nimals have always played a part in the literature of the world. Many of the early Greek myths told of a particular heros battle with imaginary animals such as the Hydra, a nine-headed snake. Myths are very old and often began as stories handed down from person to person.In 400 B.C. animals were the
25、 central characters in some of the first plays ever written. One play was called The Birds, another The Frogs. In these early Greek plays the animals made fun of human weaknesses, particularly politicians of the time.Folk tales were stories told by the common people at first by word of mouth. They u
26、sually had a lesson of some sort. For example, an ancient African folk tale told about a crocodile who was very greedy.Another type of story that came about many centuries ago is the fable. Aesops Fable(伊索寓言) were put into book form in 1484. In all of these stories animals talk and act like humans.
27、Each fable has a lesson buried in the plot. Poems were also popular literary homes for a variety of animals. One of the first collections of poems for children was the simple Mother Goose, first published in the 18th century. No matter how old or wise you become, will you ever forget the cow who jum
28、ped over the moon or the three blind mice? In the 19th and 20th centuries novels have been written about animals. A novel is a fictitious story, usually much longer than a short story. One of the first animal novels was Wind in the Willows, written in 1908. Its main characters were a rat, a mole, an

31、his passage? A. Literature is important for mans history. B. There are many different types of literature. C. Animals are important in literature. D. Literature has a long history. CSometimes the real world can be a confusing place. It is not always fair or kind. And in the real world there are not
32、always happy endings. That is why, once in a while, we like to escape into the world of fantasya place where things always go our way and there is always a happy ending.We want to believe in fantastic creatures in imaginary lands. We want to believe in magic powers, good friends, and the power of go
33、od to overcome evil. We all dream about being able to fly and lift buildings off the ground. And how well a magic sword would fall into our hands as we go off to kill a dragon or win the love of a beautiful princess！The amazing adventures of Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have attracted many
34、people, children and adults. The main reason is that these stories offer us chances to get away from this real, disappointing world and allow us to find some magical solutions to our problems. For example, Superman always arrives in time to prevent a disaster from happening. Peter Pan can fly freely
35、 to make fun of the bad guy Captain Hook, and Harry Potter has his magic power to take revenge on (报复) his uncle, aunt and cousin, who always ill-treat him.44.

39、f the usual attractions. Like most zoos, its goal is to protect wild animals and educate the public. However, the Louisiana Audubon Nature Center is more than a wildlife center. It has a planetarium (天文馆), a forest, and a special frozen zoo that rarely has visitors.Saving species from dying out is t
40、he main goal of the Nature Center. Tourists visit the public areas of the Nature Center. But scientists work behind the public areas. They use the place to prevent animals dying out. They hope that the frozen zoo will one day be able to save and keep all the animals alive on our planet. In the froze
41、n zoo, there arent any live animals in cages. Instead, it has live cells in tiny building blocks of the animalsin liquid nitrogen (氮) bottles. Liquid nitrogen is very cold and it keeps the cells perfect, so the cells should be safe for hundreds of years. The frozen zoo has over 1,000 different speci
42、es that are put in nitrogen. If one of these species becomes endangered, the scientists can unfreeze the cells and bring the species back. Many animals are struggling to survive. But their future is not that worrying, because there are more and more zoos joining the frozen zoo project. And scientist
43、s are also working to save habitats (the places where animals live and plants grow). Hopefully we will be able to save all species from dying out and give them a safe place to live.48.

46、ce become a World Heritage Site（世界遗产）? It takes a lot of people to decide.1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO(联合国教科文组织). The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because it said it was a great pa
47、rt of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.2) The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meet every June. Many experts h
48、elp the committee to decide.3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good.
