In 1936, she accepted the American publisher Henry Luces invitation and went to his magazine, called Life, and later another magazine called Fortune.In
41、the 1930s, Margaret Bourke-White met the American writer Erskine Caldwell. They decided to produce a book about poor country people of the South. They traveled through eight states. Their book, You Have Seen Their Faces, was published in 1937. It was a great success.In 1938, some countries in Europe

48、r contribution to photography DWe all know that birds use their feathers(羽毛) to line their nests. But have you ever heard of a bird eating its own feathers? It is a bird which lives in the water and it is called the grebe. The grebes feathers are silky to touch and are black or gray in color. It is
49、usually 7 to 10 inches long and has short wings and a pointed bill(鸟嘴). It eats its own feathers and feeds them to their young ones too. And, it always prefers soft feathers, which it gets rid of throughout the year.Scientists believe that its feather-eating habit is linked to the process in which i
50、t throws waste. The grebe has a unique excretory system. It throws out one or two balls of waste through its mouth every two days. The main food of grebe is fish. So the ball of waste has something hard to digest(消化) like fish bones and scales(鱼鳞). And there are parasites(寄生虫). It is important for t
51、he grebe to throw these parasites out. If it didnt, they would make it sick. According to scientists, the feathers add fiber to its waste. It makes it easier to form(形成) the ball of waste and to throw it out.Another interesting characteristic is its toes(脚趾). They are united to form a web near the b
52、ase, while the rest are rounded like an umbrella. The shape of its toes helps it to swim. In fact, the grebes are excellent swimmers and they use their feet only for diving force under water.The grebe makes its nest on floating leaves or plants and lays about two to ten eggs in it. Both the male and
53、 female grebe hatch(孵化) the eggs and take care of the young ones. The young grebes have stripes(条纹) on them.There are 18 to 20 species of grebes living around the world, some of which are endangered.68. What do we know about the grebe?A. Its feathers feel smooth.B. It has wings about 7 to 10 inches
54、long.C. It has stripes on the body when it grows up.D. Only the mother grebe hatch and take care of the young grebes.69. Using the “unique excretory system”, grebes probably _.A. digest hard food like bones B. kill parasites in the bodyC. eat food every two days D. pass out the waste from the mouth7

78、 the idea for the book came from?M: Well it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the Managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends.

And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of info
80、rmation. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts about the records to satisfy their curiosity.W: So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?M: A few years later, in 1955. So to answer your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne L Calment who was born in February, 1875.W: They are also some rather strange records on their tormentsM: Yeah, thats right.
