You may think that an underground town of 3，500 people is something out of a science­fiction film. You may not believe that such a town has shops, car parks, hotels, restaurants, cafes and much more. Well, Coober Pedy in Australia is just such a place.
Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for —opals (蛋白石). Living underground is the only way to be away from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground. Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19℃and 20℃and life is cool.
Mary Deane and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a home, built w ith money from the opals Jim has found.“Whenever people hear we live underground, they always imagine a dusty cave，”says Mary，“but they are amazed at
my clean kitchen, our furniture and electrical appliances in here.”
However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is five times more expensive underground than it is overground. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usually washes his car with bath water and they have a special system to reuse the water from the dishwasher and washing machine.
Even so, most families enjoy life in Coober Pedy. The children can make as much noise as they want and there are no complaints from the neighbors because the thick walls stop sounds from traveling. Adults enjoy the peace and quiet away from the world above.

Florida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundred years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce arrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the first European to set foot in what would become the United States.
According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mistake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain (喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again. Instead, Ponce
landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”．
Ponce explored more of Florida's coasts over the next few months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to set up a colony. However, native Americans attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn't until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augustine on Florida's east coast. It is the oldest European settlement in the U．S.
Florida didn't belong to the U．S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U．S. as the 27th state in 1845.
Today, Florida has one of the fastest­growing populations of any state. More than 19 million people call it home.
It's also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visited the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in search of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks, such as Disney World and Sea World.
5．Five hundred years ago，________．
A．the United States was founded
B．the first European came to Florida
C．Florida was discovered by human beings
D．Spanish explorer Juan Ponce was born
6．What can we learn about Ponce from Paragraph 2?
A．He hated Florida
B．He discovered Florida by accident
C．He finally found Fountain of Youth
D．He could make old people young again.
7．Ponce was killed________．
A．by his friends
B．on his way to Florida
C．during his second stay in Florida
D．after he set up a colony
8．Which of the following is TRUE about Florida?
A．Tourists are losing interest in it.
B．Its beaches are not well protected.
C．There are 89 million people in Florida at present.
D．Its population has been increasing in recent years.
