A
The sun sets on a field in southern England. When it rises again the following morning, that field1 has been changed into a huge work of art. A large part of the crop has been pressed into a patter of circles,squares and other shapes.
Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1600s, Crop circles, however, didn't get attention until 1980, when a farmer in England discovered three circles in his field. The world first began to learn about crop circles.
By the 1990s, crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. In 1990 alone, more than 500circles appeared in Europe. Within the next few years, there were thousands of circles.
Crop circles can come in many different shapes, changing in size. Most early crop circles were simple.But after 1990, the circles changed. Crops can be made to look like just about anything-smiling faces,flowers or even words.
People have long been wondering who or what is creating these crop circles. Possibly the most widely known idea is that crop circles are the work of visitors from other planets.
Probably the most scientific opinion is that crop circles are created by vortexes(涡旋).They force the air down to the ground, which presses the crops down. Dr. Terence Meaden, an expert, says when the dust (沙尘)gets caught up in a vortex, it can appear to glow(发光),which may explain the UFO-like glowing lights many people have seen.

( )18.Which of the following is TRUE about crop circles?
A. Early crop circles were very small in size.
B.Large crop circles were usually round in shape.
C. Crop circles of all kinds began to appear after 1990.
D.Flower-shaped crop circles were first found in the 1500s.
( )19.Which point do you think Dr. Terence Meaden would agree with?
A. Crop circles may be man-made.

When you think about a Hawaiian holiday, you probably think about relaxing on the beach with a drink in your hand and the sun on your skin. But while Hawaii is the perfect place for a lazy holiday, there is much more to it than just heat and beaches.
The six large islands of Hawaii that are open to visitors each offer something a little different, so where you go will depend on what kind of holiday you prefer.
Molokai
If you go on holiday to experience local culture and history then you can't do better than the island of Molokai. Take a tour of the Halawa Valley, where the earliest Hawaiians are thought to have built one of the island's first villages, and find out what Hawaii might have looked like hundreds of years ago.
Kauai
Do you prefer your holiday to be more exciting? The island of Kauai is home to the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, a state park full of beautiful scenery and nature trails. Why not try a hike along the ocean on the 18-kilometer Kalalau Trail? Or book a place at the Hanakoa campsite so you can rest under the stars?
The Island of Hawaii
Hawaiii's biggest cities are on the island of Oahu, but Oahu isn't the state's largest island. That would be the island of Hawaii, also called the "Big Island". And if you dream about leaving the city behind and spending all of your time with the local wildlife, this may be the place for youl Here you can swim with manta rays and snorkel with green sea turtles, and maybe you'll see a dolphin or humpback whale by the Kona Coast.

If you couldn't sleep well one night, what should you do the next day? Here are some tips to make your day a little easier after a bad night.
26 One or two cups of coffee or tea may help to wake you up, but more than that won't help and might make you feel more stressed. It's also best not to have caffeine after 4 pm because it might keep you awake at night.
27When you feel tired,drinking plenty of water will refresh your body and help to clear your mind. And not having enough water will make you feel more tiredl Have a glass of water with your breakfast, and keep drinking throughout the day.
28 If it's a sunny day, go outside and get some sunshine. Sunshine helps to wake your body up,and it might cheer you up too.
29 -_If you've had a bad night, you probably don't have the energy for a full workout, but a little light exercise will get your blood flowing, and wil1 also produce chemicals in your brain to lift your mood. Try something easy, like going for a walk or doing some stretches.
30 A short nap will give you energy. But experts say you shouldn't sleep more than 25minuates or you may fall into a deeper sleep and wake up feeling worse! You could also have a cup of coffee before your nap, and you'll feel the impact of the caffeine when you wake up!
