It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.
A. part of a historical cave system
B. the biggest underground lake in the world
C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
D. the largest body of water in Tennessee

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83.During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.The results sow that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect (影响) than if he or she has no breakfast.This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains.If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class.Contrary to (与……相反) what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing.You will probably lose more weight if you reduce (减少) your other meals.

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine (男女英雄) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever.He sent his camera crew (摄制组) out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
“No, sir,” the man answered.
The director was angry.“Why not?” he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.“Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea.“Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”
“That’s a good idea!” the director said.Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay (海湾).Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director.“Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him.He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio.“All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

A bar (酒吧) owner locked up the door of his bar at two a.m.and went home to sleep.He had been in bed only a few minutes when the phone rang.“What time do you open up in the morning?” he heard an obviously drunken man (醉汉) ask.
The owner was so angry that he put down the receiver and went back to bed.A few minutes later there was another call and he heard the same voice ask the same question.“Listen”, the owner shouted.“There is no sense in asking about what time I open because I wouldn’t let a person in your condition in...”
“I don’t want to get in,” the caller interrupted (打断), “I want to get out.”

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
