Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered almost the same circles in one of his fields. These circles were larger—nearly 15 meters across . That same year , another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle between two small circles. During the following years, farmers in England found circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they usually appear in fields of wheat or corn. The wheat in the circles lies on the ground but is never broken; it keeps on growing, and the farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. What causes the crop circles?
At first, people thought that some kids were making them as a joke, or that farmers were making them to attract tourists.(In fact, in 1991, two men said they made the circles themselves, but many scientists don’t believe them.) People tried to copy them: They tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn’t do it. They couldn’t enter a field of wheat without leaving tracks, and they couldn’t flatten the wheat without breaking it.
Several times people reported seeing stranger objects near the fields where crop circles later appeared. Many people believe that these crop circles are the messages sent by living things from outer space(外层空间)or the marks left by their spaceships.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles try to find out what causes them. In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment(最新高科技设备). The equipment—worth 1.8 million dollars—got nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, crop circles formed in the field behind them, which were quite different from the others. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything.
When Steven discovered the crop circles on his land in 1978, he said, “It was just like something that had landed in the field from the air and gone back up again. I don’t know what to make of these things.”
Crop circles have appeared in England, Japan, the United States and Russia. Experts from all over the world have studied them, and they say what Steven said: They don’t know what to make of these things.
小题1:Which picture is probably the one formed in the field behind the scientists?
小题2:“Flattened wheat” means ___________.
| A．broken wheat | B．lying wheat | C．harvested wheat | D．growing wheat |
| A．that is done by living things from outer space |
| B．that cannot be solved but found all around the world |
| C．that cannot be made clear or understood |
| D．that is discovered and copied by the farmers |

Third Frenchman: I once visited an English friend early in the morning and the maid who came to the door and said, “He’s not up yet. Come back in half an hour,” When I went again for him, she said, “He’s not down yet.”
“If he’s not up and he’s not down, where is he?” I asked.

Some hours later, Holmes woke up and pushed his friend. “Watson, look! What can you see in the sky?"
Watson replied, “I see millions and millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you?” asked Holmes.
Watson thought for a while. “First, it tells me that we will have a beautiful clear day tomorrow. Second, it tells me that the time is about twelve o’clock. And…”

Mrs.Thompson realized the problem and felt sorry for him. She felt even worse when her students brought her beautifully-covered Christmas presents. His presents were covered with some old paper.

They hugged(拥抱)each other，and Teddy whispered in Mrs.Thompson’s ear，“Thank you，Mrs.Thompson，for making me feel important，and showing me that I could make a difference. ”

An old farmer lived with his grandson. Each morning, the 16 got up early and read his Bhagavad Gita(薄迦梵歌).One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the book like you 17 I can’t understand it, and I forget it easily. What’s the 18 of reading it?”
The grandfather said, “Take this coal(煤炭) basket down to the 19 and bring me back a basket of water.”
The boy did as his grandfather 20 ,but all the water ran 21 he got home. The grandfather laughed, “You’ll have to move faster next time.”
This time the boy 22 faster, but again the basket was empty. He told his grandfather that is was 23 to carry water in a basket. He wanted to use a bottle instead, but the old man said, “I just want a basket of water. You’re not 24 hard enough.”
The boy wanted to show his grandfather that the water would surely run. He again put the 25 into the river and ran hard. But there wasn’t anything in it again. He said 26 ,“Look, grandpa, it’s useless!”
“Watch the basket.” said the grandfather.
For the first time the boy 27 the basket was different. It had changed from a dirty old coal basket into a 28 one, inside and out.
“Boy, you might not understand or remember 29 when you read the book, but when you read it, you will be 30 ,inside and out. That’s what you got from it.”
