most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. however, ocean expert curtis ebbesmeyer does it in a special way - by studying movements of random floating garbage. a scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the united states. there were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes about 60,000 in total fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. he phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. as expected, the company told him that they didnt. ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. if he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. the pacific northwest is one of the worlds best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. in a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. with this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study. as the result of his work, ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. he has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from west africa to new zealand. they have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves. 61.the underlined phrase “ swap meets” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. fitting rooms b. trading fairs c. business talks d. group meetings62. ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _.a. what caused the shipping accidentb. when and where the shoes went missingc. whether it was all right to use their shoesd. how much they lost in the shipping accident63. how did ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?a. by collecting information from beachcombers.b. by studying the shoes found by beachcomber.c. by searching the web for ocean currents models.d. by researching ocean currents data in the library.64. ebbesmeyer is most famous for _.a. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldb. making records for any lost objects on the seac. running a global currents research associationd. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea65. what is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?a. to call peoples attention to ocean pollution.b. to

and metalsso part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by securityour jewelry sets off the alarms, and weve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screeningsmost of the time, its not troublesomehowever, on our recent trip to a paris trade show, we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bagsone of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each otherboth gentlemen came back, and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous objectmy sister and i just said, “huh?” of course, we were a little

acts of beauty.” the phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.judy foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. when it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “i thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” her husband, frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of alice johnson, a local news reporter. alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.two days later, alice got a call from anne herbert, a woman living in marin. it was in a restaurant that anne wrote
