Mary: In my paper, I answer the question “Is Greenland really green?〞 In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?
Blake: Is it?
Mary: What do you think?
Blake: Let’s e … Greenland is in the Arctic Circle — way up north. It’s cold, … so “Is Greenland really green?〞 I’d answer “probably not.〞
Mary: You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws.
Blake: That sounds tough.
Mary: It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not easy to build in Greenland.
Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there?
Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes e whales swimming in the harbors.
Blake: That sounds cool! OK, so if it’s not really a “green〞 place, why was it named “Greenland〞?
Mary: The first ttlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name.

Jay: Come in here, Eli. You should e this show!
Eli: What is it?
Jay: It’s called “The Titanic of the Sky.〞 It’s about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat.
Eli: The Hindenburg …
Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died.
戴笠毛人凤Eli: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing.
Jay: Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think? It doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have today.
Eli: That’s true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It ems so dangerous.
Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg “man’s greatest achievement in flight.〞 They thought it was safe, I guess.
Eli: Who rode in it anyway?
Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 pasngers and crew. One person said it was like a “flying hotel.〞
Eli: It sounds pretty great.
Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That’s why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster.
Eli: Why didn’t they just take a jet plane?
Jay: Eli! You know they didn’t have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the US by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was s
peedy.
Eli: Well, maybe I’ll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I’ll learn something …

关于挫折的名言My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he ud a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country.

The world-famous Louvre Muum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s cent
er to be a visitor’s entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the muum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.
