25、, the main one being that the world would pass through its tail, said to be millions of miles long. Between the threats of comet and weevils, the farmers were running low on optimism. One night, they gathered at our farm to discuss what to do. Will Bowen, a local man, suggested: “Charley, how about

26、giving us a little music?”“I dont think anybody would want to hear me tonight,” Dad replied.“Come on, Mr Nordyke,” one of the younger women urged. “Play for us!”Dad had a knack(诀窍) for getting people in the mood for his music. He played church songs, and then shifted to war songs. By the time he had

27、 finished performing, people were stamping their feet, clapping their hands and yelling.All of our neighbors went home whistling. Very few remembered to look to see whether the comet was still around. Another evening, Will Bowen called Dad on the telephone and said: “Charley, Im downhearted and blue

28、. Could you play a tune or two for me on the phone?”Dad handed the receiver to me and then set off playing the songs he had performed that night. I could hear Mr Bowen whistling and yelling.By the time the tune was finished, there were half a dozen neighbors on the line. They talked about how wonder

29、ful the music sounded over the telephone. They made numerous requests; I relayed (传达)them to Dad and he played. Our broadcasts became regular feature of community life.

34、ur with the thought that he wont make it back alive. It is unclear what Markus Groh thought when he signed up for a late February dive that could put him face-to-face with killer Sharkswithout a cage to separate him from the man-eaters. He surely didnt expect to end up dead. But the 49-year-old man

35、from Australia died on February 24 after being bitten on the leg while swimming with the sharks in the Bahamas.Every year, thousands of people die while living life to the fullest battling white-water rapids(急流) （every year a great number of people go white-water rafting in states like California an

36、d Colorado）, climbing the worlds tallest mountain peak, or descending to the depths of the ocean. The extreme sports are dangerous and you take your chances.Diving with dangerous sharks without a cage appeals to the thrill seekers.

38、iences. We will have crew members in the water at all times to ensure divers safety.”Rodney Barreto, chairman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, maintains theres no way the crew could ensure the safety of the divers. “Thats not a controlled environment, ” Barreto says.In 2001,

39、 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission banned the practice of fish feeding off the coast of Florida. Because the tour operator couldnt legally attract sharks with chum(鱼饵) in Florida, Groh went to the Bahamas. Barreto says, “ We are not discouraging people from going diving. We are t

Now, a web company has taken on the task of saving the language by marrying history with technology.Silbo Gomero, a la

44、nguage used only on La Gomera Island, sounds to the untrained ear like few other known languages. The sounds that make up this language are made by whistling, rather than by speaking.The language was brought to the island by African setters many centuries ago.

46、ers has declined to around 1,000. Many of the older generation of islanders fear the language, which they consider to be a cultural symbol, may become extinct.To save Silbo Gomero, B, a website based in Madrid, has launched a movement to teach Internet users worldwide to communicate using the langua

53、 Pancreatic cancer and in his words only has “3 to 6 months of quality life”.We met Randy about 5 years ago when Liam and I went to a Building Virtual Worlds show.
