Almost 20 percent of this area is below sea level. Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and it is the lowest point in the United States.Long ago, the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”the land of fire. The present name, Death Valley,can date back to 1849, when a group of miners became lost in it and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has become a National Monument (遗址) and is crossed by several roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human has hardly destroyed the special beauty of this place.Here there are a lot of surprising natural scenes. One of the most surprising and variable (多变的) parts of Death Valley is Devils Golf Course, where it seems hard for people to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on the frightening ground, as evening shadows (暮色) move and lengthen. ( )57.

Most people dont know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away at home. Many more are simply thrown away with the rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves would pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one persons rubbish into someone elses useful thing and cut down on waste, too. ( )61. What do many people do with old computers?A.

Since this festival marks the beginning of the year, New Years Day is thought of as a perfect time for a “clean start”. People in the world decide to act better in the year just beginning than the year just ended. No day has ever been celebrated in so many different ways. All over the world, countries have their own special beliefs about what the New Year means to them. In Scotland, the New Year is called Hogmanay. In the villages of Scotland, barrels of tar (沥青) are set on fire. It represents that the old year is burned up and the new one is allowed to enter. New Years Day is also the Festival of Saint Basil in Canada. Children leave their shoes by the fireside on New Years Day with the hope that Saint Basil, who is famous for his kindness, will come and fill their shoes with gifts. The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is an important time when Jews promise to do better in the future. Special services are held in the church, children are given new clothes and New Year bread is cooked to remind people of harvest time. On New Years Day in Japan, everyone gets dressed in their new clothes and homes are decorated (装饰) with bamboossymbols of long life. In European countries such as Germany, France and Belgium, families start the New Year by first attending church services. Afterwards, they visit friends and relatives.
