teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared
during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three
missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was
made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, "The travellers had a radio
with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us."
The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt
road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger
Fleet said the tourists wouldn"t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the"Be Careful about crocodiles" sign near the
river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why
was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police
said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point
(地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these
three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
B. a magazine
C. a storybook
D. a guidebook
B. why they came to this area
C. why their Toyota was parked in the place

| The Americans and Russians, at the height of the arms race, realized that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole world. One day, they sat down and decided to settle the whole argument with one dog fight. They"d spent five years training the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side"s dog won would have the right to control the world. The losing side would have to lay down its arms. The Russians found the biggest, meanest, Doberman and Rottweiler in the world and trained them with the biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest young dogs from each litter (窝), killed his brothers or sisters, and gave him all the milk. They used steroids (类固醇) and trainers and after five years came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were three inches and nobody could get near it. When the day came for the fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine-foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Russian dog. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out and wrapped itself around the outside of the ring. It had the Russian dog almost surrounded. When the Russian dog leaned over to bite the Dachshund"s neck, the Dachshund reached out and consumed the Russian dog in one bite. There was nothing left at the entire Russian dog. The Russians came up to the Americans, shaking their hands in doubt. "We don"t understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler in the world and the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves." "That is nothing," an American replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons (外形整容医生) working for five years to make a crocodile look like a Dachshund." | |||

| The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket patched (打补丁) trousers and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a steady smile. He walked towards a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair" Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated. Then she pushed the table up close to him, and learned his cane against the table where he could reach it. In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss" "You are welcome, Sir." she replied, "My name is Mary. I"ll be back in a moment. If you need anything, just wave at me." After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and hot lemon tea, Mary brought him the change, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us,Sir." He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, "You are very kind!" When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked.
