None of the gods could fight Ravana because of a promise they had foolishly made earlier. So Vishnu decided to be reborn as a man, and then he would be able to fight Ravana.So Vishnu was born as the prince Rama. Rama was supposed to be king when his father died, but at the last minute his father decided to make his brother king instead. Rama and his other brother Lakshmana and Ramas wife Sita went away to live a simple life in the forest, where the demon Ravanas sister fell in love with Rama and tried to get Rama to leave Sita. When Rama said no, Ravanas sister attacked him, but Rama and his brother Lakshmana fought her off.The demon went back to her brother Ravana on the island of Lanka and complained to him that Rama had attacked her. Also, Ravanas sister told him how beautiful Ramas wife Sita was. So he went to the forest to see for himself.When Ravana got to the forest, he found it was true. So he took Sita back to Lanka. Sita was very sad there and missed Rama very much.Rama and his brother Lakshmana needed help to rescue Sita, so they went to see the king of the monkeys, Hanuman, who had the magic power to make himself bigger or smaller. Hanuman found Sita on the island of Lanka and told her that Rama was coming to save her. Sita was very happy, but then the demon Ravana caught Hanuman and set his tail on fire! In the end, however, Hanuman escaped and set fire to the whole island of Lanka.Hanuman went back to the forest and got Rama and Lakshmana, and they all went together with the whole monkey army to attack the island of Lanka.

Then he gave the orders: all the officers and soldiers should be through with breakfast before 7:30; no one should be late for work in the morning; soldiers with moustache should shave daily. He required that every soldier should wear the helmet and necktie. Patton also set up a punishment system. Officers would be fined 50 dollars and soldiers 25 dollars if they broke the rules.Pattons rigorous measures brought great shock to the whole army at once. Three days later, the 2nd army staff brought open their dislike of Patton and soldiers complained strongly because the arrival of Patton put an end to their comfortable life. But Patton ignored this.Further, he gave the order that “The military rank (军衔) should be shown on the helmet”. A senior colonel (上校) believed that this rule meant to provide a firing target for the enemy. He argued with Patton, “I often go to the battleground. If I were dead, I could no longer serve you and my soldiers.”Patton smiled after hearing that and said, “Colonel, get on my car and wed have a tour on the front line.” When they reached there, the colonel found Pattons helmet, shoulders, collars and even the jeep all had three stars. As a result, the soldiers recognized the general in the jeep was Patton, so they laid down what was in the hand and stood at attention and showed respect to him, cheering. At this moment, Patton said to the colonel, “The soldiers depend on you leading them. They have to realize who their commander is. Commander ought to lead in front of the soldiers, even if it means to die. Then wear your military rank mark.” This colonel was completely convinced: “You are correct, General.”Just one week later, Patton achieved obvious effect. This fact proved Pattons statement that he was able to make any army in high spirits in less than a week.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Pattons great organizing abilities. B.

To show his power over the army.D. To explain the reasons for his rule.DFor most visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, your first stop is the Kilauea Visitors Center.

Find out if there will be viewable lava flows into the ocean. If so, stay until dark and sit in silence as the sun sets and the lava lights up as it flows into the ocean.
