Ⅰ.异域风情
1.The Longest Fence in the World
The Australian government has built the longest fence in the world.It is 9500 kilometres long,and two hundred men look after it.They drive along it and repair it every day.Sand blows against it and buries it.Sand blows away from it and leaves holes under it.Rabbits make holes through it.These holes are dangerous.The man has to repair them immediately.If they do not,the dingoes will get in.Dingoes are wild dogs.They are the fiercest killers in Australia.Wild animals usually kill for food—but dingoes will for pleasure.One dingo can easily kill 100 sheep in a night,or a flock of sheep in a few days.Dingoes killed 600 000 sheep in Queensland in eleven years.Those sheep were worth ￡2 000 000.The farmers were angry,but they could not stop the dingoes.This problem was too big for the farmers to solve.So the government agreed to build the fence.Why?Because Australia depends on her sheep.She exports 45 percent of all the wool in the world.She must win the fight against the dingoes.
2.The World’s Largest Library
You might think the largest library in the world would be in Europe.But it isn’t.It’s in Washington D.C.It’s called the Library of Congress.
President John Adams started the library in 1800 for members of Congress.He wanted them to be able to read books about law.The first 740 books were bought in England.They were simply set up in the room where Congress met.Then Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books.He felt Congress should have books on all subjects,not just on law.This idea changed the library for good.
The library grew and grew.Now it covers acres of land.It contains 20 million books as well as scores of pictures,movies,globes and machines.Experts in every field work there.Hundreds of people call every day with all kinds of questions.Many of them get answers right over the phone.
The library is a hugh storehouse.Thomas Edison’s first movie and Houdini’s magic books reside there.A
