1970s and 1980s found hair, a footprint, and a sleeping nest suspected of belonging to the yeren but there has been no conclusive proof, the report added.witnesses describe a creature that walks upright and is more than 2 meters tall with grey, red or black hair all over its body, xinhua said.now the hubei wild man research association is looking for volunteers from around the world to join them on another expedition to look for the yeren.“we want the team members to be devoted, as there will be a lot of hard work in the process,”luo baosheng, vice president of the group, told xinhua.but the team will have to come up with about 10 million yuan ($ 1.50 million) first, and is talking to companies and other bodies to secure the money, so there is no timetable yet for when they may start, the report added.china is no stranger to cryptozoology. there are many tales about mysterious, monster-like creatures in remote parts of the country. for example, tibetans have long talked about the

breathe sigh of relief and leave learning behind，right？wrong！learning should last a lifetime. you exercise your body to stay strong，and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.an english idiom says，“you cant teach an old dog new tricks.” but scientists have discovered that isnt true. older people can learn，and they should，in order to keep their brain active. now a new trend has begun in several states in the us that encourages learning. adults can attend one day university. they can spend a saturday or sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. each one is given by a top university professor. one of the original participants said，“its like a health club for the brain.”also，universities like mit have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free！libraries offer learning programs too. with so much available，there is no excuse not to learn!learning is a habit. dont leave it behind after you leave school. on the website ，author scott young mentions several things to help you.always have a book. it doesnt matter if you read fast or slow. just read. if you read just one book a week，youll read 52 over the course of a year. think of the knowledge youll gain!practice it. as you read，do something with what youve learned. dont just enjoy the mental exercise. use the knowledge. if you read about painting，try it!make a “to learn” list. make a“to learn”list for yourself. maybe you want to speak better english，play the piano，or cook french food. whatever interests you，put it on your list and then make the time to do it.teach others. whatever you learn，teach someone else. youll not only help others but also understand what youve learned.59whats the best title for this passage? amake learning last a lifetime. bwhat you should do after leaving school. cseveral tips on learning. da new trend in learning.60what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean? ayou dont need to consider what you have learnt after graduation. bleaving

told about each of them.the white swan (天鹅)with its long, graceful neckis among the most beautiful birds. the swan is mostly silent throughout its life. it floats quietly on the water, unable to sing sweet songs.in ancient times, however, people believed that the swan was given a special gift. they believed a swan sang a most beautiful song just before its death. the ancient greek philosopher socrates talked of this 2,300 years ago, socrates explained that the swan was singing because it was happy. the bird was happy because it was going to serve the greek god apollo. swans were holy to apollo, the god of poetry and song.the story of the swans last song found a place in the works of other writers, including the early english writers chaucer and shakespeare.and, the expression“swan song”has long been a part of the english language. at first, swan song meant the last work of a poet, musician or writer. now it means the final effort of any person. someones swan song usually is also considered that persons finest work.a political expression with a similar meaning is the last hurrah. the expression may be used to describe a politicians last campaign, his final attempt to win the cheers and votes of the people. the last hurrah can also mean the last acts of a politician before his term in office ends.writer edwin o connor made the expression popular in 1956. he wrote a book about he final years in the political life of a long-time mayor (市长) of boston, massachusetts. he called his book the last hurrah.63whats the function of paragraph 1?ato tell us each people has
