Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles (障碍）presented by distance, danger, cold, and some other things.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers. In 1970 she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975. Nyad also tried to swim from Florida to Cuba in 1978. After fighting the water for two days, Nyad had to give up for her own health and safety.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things─travel ling around the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt. They were hunting a lot of their food, and eating a lot of red meat. Red meat has plenty of salt in it, and naturally, people at that time didn’t have to go and find extra salt. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and very little meat. Then they really needed another way to get salt. People sprinkled (洒) salt on different kinds of food, because there were no refrigerators.
The earliest evidence we have for people producing salt comes from northern China, where people seem to have been harvesting salt from a salt lake by 6,000 BC and maybe earlier.
By about 4,500 BC, Central Asian people along the shores of the Caspian Sea were mining(开采) rock salt underground. This is the earliest known salt mine in the world.
By 800 BC, Chinese written records tell us that people in China were producing salt by boiling ocean salt water until the salt was left. About the same time, in Europe, the Indo-European Celts (凯尔特人) were mining salt underground in modern Austria, Hungary, southern Cermany and Poland.
By 252 BC, a Chinese governor named Li Bing also worked out how to mine salt. Men dug deep wells down to where there were natural underground salt water pools, and took the salty water out.
Because everyone needed salt, but only a few people could produce it, salt was something everybody bought. Governments, therefore, began to tax it to raise a lot of money. Both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, in China, got a lot of their money from the salt trade. About 1,000 AD, businessmen brought salt across the desert on the backs of the camels. The businessmen used the salt to buy slaves and goods from West Africa. Then they forced the slaves to mine even more salt.
4. People in the Stone Age didn’t have to find salt because ______.
A. they didn’t know how to preserve food
B. they ate lots of red meat which contains salt
C. th ey couldn’t adapt to (适应) the taste of salt
D. they gave meat to others in exchange for (交换)salt
5. When did people first produce salt?
A. By about 6,000 BC
B. By about 3,000 BC
C. By about 4,500 BC
D. By about 10,000 BC
6. According to the passage, how did the Central Asian people get salt?
A. By boiling ocean salt water
B. By taking salt water from salt water pools
C. By harvesting salt from a salt lake
D. By mining rock salt underground
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Many people couldn’t afford to buy salt.
B. Salt once functioned as money in ancient times.
C. Salt was the main source of economy in the Tang Dynasty.
D. West Africa learned how to mine salt from China.

In 1918，Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute.In December 1924，Frederic Joliot joined the Institute，and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work.They soon fell in love and were married in 1926.Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother，Irene combined family and career.Like her mother，Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize，along with her husband，in 1935.Unfortunately，also like her mother，she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能)．Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17,1956.

When people want to know about the weather,they usually go to their radios,TVs, newspapers,or to the Internet.However,you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses.Drops in air pressure(压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways.Mice and deer are good weather indicators.People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that,before a storm,field mice come out of their holes and run around.Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways.For example,some birds become irritable(急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread.Other birds chirp(叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm.It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two.Birds also seek safe places before a storm.You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building.Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime,rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn.Watch for other weather signs if you see this.If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying ahead of a storm.
By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature,we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

During the holiday, I’m going to do a part-time job. On one hand, I can earn some money to reduce the burden of my family. On the other hand, I can accumulate social experience, which does good to my future life. In addition, I’m to visit a popular amusement park named Shanghai Disneyland, where I can not only enjoy the exciting activities but also get close to the life-size cartoon characters. There is no doubt that I’ll spend an instructive holiday.
That’s all. Thank you.。
