Education B Today we were heading out to what is arguably one of the most beautiful natural wonders of this region Saklikent Gorge 峡谷 a 300 meter deep canyon that is close to Fethiye However first we had to enter the canyon Before us was a raging river about 20 meters across and we would have to wade 蹚水 through to get to the entrance of the gorge I lost my breath when my feet made contact with the water My whole foot had turned numb I shot out of the water fast as a rabbit screaming like a wild dog I m sure it was a sight to see Dad and Lalika seemed to bear it better as they were the first to begin heading through the fast flowing waters Soon it was up to their knees but battling their way through they were the first of our family to make it across During this time I was considering if I really wanted to go through with this The look on Mum s face showed me that there was no alternative She took my hand and we began making our way through the ice cold water to the sound of Lalika s cheers I nearly slipped at one point but thankfully I recovered in time and Mum and I came out of the water half dry and very happy Then the canyon was in front of us I began to wade through the softest flowing grey clay that had deposited itself over thousands of years between this magnificent Moorish pink gorge towering over me I was surprised that the locals hadn t already made a beauty industry out of this mining this natural resource when I remembered that thankfully it was a protected national possession located in a national park That didn t stop Dad and Lalika from making a mud pack as the two of them smoothed the liquid clay all over their faces arms and legs The mud also made great war paint and Lalika and I had a really fun time applying it before role playing a fierce battle of the clans 家族 After about 45 minutes of walking we came to a fork in the canyon and we decided to return 24 What did the author think of the river A Cold B Deep C Wide D Dirty 25 What made

establishment of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation now a major partner of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery While working in his UW Madison lab in late 1923 Steenhock discovered that he could increase the vitamin D content of foods by irradiating 照射 them with ultraviolet light Steenbock was eager to share his breakthrough discovery with the world But he knew he needed to carefully manage his discovery so it could reach its full potential and benefit the greater good Steenbock submitted a patent application with 300 0f his own money to protect his discovery The Quaker Oats Company offered Steenbock a deal valued at nearly 1 million almost 10 million in today s money for exclusive rights to his invention Despite this huge amount of money Steenbock turned down the Quaker deal He felt that the profits from lus discovery should be returned to the university to make future scientific research possible and he had a vision for how to protect his breakthrough discovery and pass its benefits on to the public Steenbock imagined a nonprofit foundation that would protect discoveries made by UW Madison researchers through patent management and licensing invest in research based discoveries and return profits to the university to finance further scientific inquiry Nine generous alumni 校友 donated 100 each to aid the efforts and on November 14 1925 the Wisconsin Alumni
