37、n Australia, 5 Jamaica and others in the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, Germany, Ireland and even one in France. The original Waterloo is in Belgium, 20 kilometers south of the capital Brussels, and it celebrated on September 26 its 200th anniversary as self-governing commune (公社) . “Ours is the real Wate

38、rloo, but many of the others have outgrown the original,” said Yves Vander Cruysen, the towns spokesman for culture and tourism.

42、is called the Dead Sea because nothing lives in it. This is due to an extremely high of salt. It has some of the saltiest water anywhere in the world, almost six times as salty as the ocean! The Jordan River (约旦河) carries salt with it to its last and lowest point the Dead Sea, which has no outlet (出

43、口) . The dry climate leads to rapid evaporation (蒸发) , leaving the salt minerals in the lake.
