The
continent
(洲)
Antarctica is the most southern area of
land on the Earth and is mostly
covered
with ice. People have never wanted to l
67
there because of its coldest
temperature.
But
now
scientists
from
all
over
the
w
68
come
to
study
the
ice
to
learn
more
about
the
Earth’s
history.
Some scientists live on
Antarctica for part of the y
69
. But they
don’t usually stay there for
more than
six months b
70
there are six months of
light and six months of darkness.
Antarctica usually has a good deal of

without any wind at
all. The strong winds are usually only in some
parts of it. It is also i
72
to
learn that it isn’t very
wet there. There is very l

snow or rain. It snows on the ice in
winter,
but at other times

Antarctica is d

just like the Sahara Desert.
In winter
the sea around Antarctica freezes
(

) for t
75
of kilometres. But scientists
tell us that the earth is getting w

.
So in the future, there may be less ice in the
Antarctic sea.
When that happens, our
weather will never be the same again.

You may think that English dictionaries
have been used for many, many centuries. In fact,
an
English dictionary you u
72
today wasn’t made until the Qing
Dynasty. Three men did most
of the
important e
73
work on dictionary. They
spent nearly all their l
74
trying to
collect
words
for
their
dictionary.
For
them,
it
was
a
wonderful
journey.
The
largest
dictionary
in
the
world
is
Oxford
English
Dictionary.
The
i
75
for
this
dictionary
came
from
an
important
meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two
years later, Oxford University asked James Murray
to b
76
the editor of
its new dictionary.
Murray had never been to
college. At the age of fourteen, he left his
village school in Scotland
and taught h
77
while working in a bank. Later he
became a great teacher. After Oxford gave
him
the
job,
Murray
had
a
small
house
b
78
in
his
garden
to
do
the
work.
Every
morning,
Murray
got
out
of
bed
at
five
o’clock
and
w
79
in
the
small
house
several
hours
before
breakfast. Often he would work into the
night. Murray h
80
to finish the
new dictionary in ten
years.
But
after
five
years,
he
was
still
adding
words
for
the
letter
“A”!
He
worked
on
the
dictionary u
81
he was very old.
Forty-four
years later, in 1928, other editors
finished the
dictionary.

Do you

I
’
d like to tell you a true
story about John and Peter. They
were b
67
mountaineers(
p>
登山者
). As John was experienced,
he was always asking Peter to
copy his
example.
“
Would you like to
stand on the t
68
of the world,
Peter?” “Of
course. It
has already b
69
my dream,” Peter
answered.
On
a
sunny
morning,
the
two
men
started
for
the
top
of
Mount
Qomolangma.
After
they
climbed
over
one

slopes(

they
found
a
man
lying
in
the
snow.
“

”
Peter
looked
at
John
and
said,
as
if
he
would
help
the
man.
“
Leave him by himself and just follow
me! But if you bring the
burden(
累赘
)with you,
I
’
m a
72
you will lose your
life.
”
John
warned Peter. Then he turned around and walked
forward a
73 . It was too
cold. After thinking for a w
74 , Peter made up his mind to help the
dying man.
He
carried
the
man
on
his back
and
made
his
way
forward.
Little
by
little,
Peter’s
temperature
made
the
man
w
75
.
The
man
came
to
himself!
And
soon
he
could
move
all
by
himself.
Together they moved side by side.
About two hours later, they kept up
with John. To their surprise, they found that John
was
almost d
76
in the snow. He had been frozen to
death.
