the other side, offering her my right hand as we quickly walked together to the other side of the road. i used my left hand to stop any oncoming(即将来临的)traffic so that even if the crossing signal turned red, we could make it to the other side safely. in the meantime, both the man and his wife realized that they had left the old woman behind and they ran back. the old lady was in tears and told me, “young fellow, you are more caring than my son,” and gave me a warm handshake(握手). the man and woman were sorry about what had happened and also thanked me. before leaving, the old lady gave me a

everest(珠穆朗玛峰).however, he also made many visits to antarctica(南极洲). in 1957, he led the first trip over ice to the south pole. hillary also helped his home country, new zealand, build a research center on antarctica, called scott base. he visited it in january 2007, when he was 87 years old. in the 1900s, many people like hillary saw antarctica as an exciting place. scientists are interested in how glaciers(冰川) flow and melt. they also worry that global(全球的) warming is making glaciers melt faster. it has caused a 75 percent increase in ice loss in the last 10 years, according to a new study. scientists say ice loss could cause water levels around the world to rise faster than expected. ice is melting faster than expected because of global warming. researchers in antarctica are studying many other subjects too. some use the cold weather and clear air as a way to study things that affect other parts of the globe. antarctica has the cleanest air in the world. that allows scientists to compare the air there to the air in polluted places. antarctica is the darkest place on earth, so it is a great place to study the stars. some scientists are even studying penguin droppings(企鹅粪). they have developed a new test to learn more about penguins diets.4. what is sir edmund hillary best known for? a. he was the first to reach the top of mount everest. b. he went to

spoke manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s, it was considered provocative(挑衅的) and you were likely to find yourself in a fight, recalls brian stowell, a 76-year-old islander who has written a manx-language novel, the vampire murders, and presents a radio show on manx radio spreading the language every sunday.the language itself is similar to the gaelic tongues spoken in the islands neighbours, ireland and scotland. a century ago, moghrey mie would have been commonly heard instead of good morning on the island.in the 1860s there were thousands of manx people who couldnt speak english, says stowell. but only a century later it was considered to be so backwards to speak the language that there were stories of manx speakers getting stones thrown at them in the towns. i learnt it myself from one of the last surviving native speakers back in the 1950s.recession(经济衰退) in the mid 19th century forced many manx residents to leave the island to seek work in england. and parents were not willing to pass the language down through the generations, with many believing that to have manx as a first language would affect job opportunities overseas.there was a fall in the language. by the early 1960s there were perhaps as few as 200 who spoke the tongue. the last native speaker, ned maddrell, died in 1974.unesco(联合国教科文组织) pronounced the language died out in the 1990s.now there is even a manx language primary school in which all subjects are taught in the language, with more than 60 pupils attending. manx is also taught in other schools across the island.8. what does
