For those who think of
straws as nothing but animal feed, materials for the roof, natural fertilizers or
occasional medical herbs, I would suggest that they take a trip to Snugburys.
Snugburys, an ice cream maker in the U.K., has had a plan to construct a
sculpture every year in their farm field to celebrate the coming of summer.
This year, they have a GIANT polar bear—a statue which has 3 tons of straws
inside. The steel-skeleton-straw-stuffed replica of the animal from the arctic
region is attracting interest from tourists, visitors or ice cream buyers while
keeping guard at this ice cream destination beside A51 Chester Road. The animal
is approximately four times as big as a real adult male polar bear: standing 38
feet tall and weighing in at 9 tons. The sculpture will stay there for about
half a year. “Ex-straw-dinary!” uttered one of my friends. The concept started
in 1998 with a huge Millennium Dome sculpture and, since then, on the list of
the works of art are replicas of the Big Ben Clock, a windmill, the Lovell
telescope, a rocket, an angel from the West, a dinosaur as well as last year’s
meerkat. Speaking about this year’s design, Mr. Sadler, the business owner, responded
with a smile: “There’s no real reason why we chose a polar bear but we think
that they’re cool and ice cream is cool so I guess that’s a good enough
explanation!” A certain part of all sales from the shop’s “Polar Bear Cones”
will be given away to The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust which provides
holidays for the kids in need: ill at a terminal stage, disabled, disadvantaged
and the like.
( ) 41. Which of the following
items is NOT mentioned as the use of straws?
(A) An alternative therapy. (B) Fertilizers.
(C) Farming tools. (D)
Roofing materials.
¯
( ) 42. Which of the following is NOT on the Snugburys’ list of the
structures made of straws?
(A) A polar bear. (B) A rocket. (C)
A locomotive. (D) A meerkat.
¯
( ) 43. Why is the polar bear taken as the theme for this year’s structure?
(A) It’s cool. (B) It’s in grave danger.
(C) It’s of significant value. (D) It’s
snow-white.
¯
( ) 44. Why does the author offer the suggestion of taking a trip to
Snugburys?
(A) To do research on a herbal remedy. (B) To enjoy the urban atmosphere.
(C) To enhance the business chance. (D) To learn an artistic display
of straws.
¯
( ) 45. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) Snugburys is a famous ice cream
manufacturer in the U.S.A.
(B) A charity unit for the kids has offered
to promote the straw shows.
(C) “Ex-straw-dinary” is used here to
express praise and admiration.
(D) An average adult male polar bear stands
38 feet tall and weighs in at 9 tons.

Michael Hart, founder of
Project Gutenberg, invented eBooks in 1971 and continued to inspire the
creation of eBooks and related technologies today. He announced that the
greatest value created by computers would not be computing, but the storage,
retrieval and searching of what was stored in our libraries. There are three
categories of the Project Gutenberg Library: Light Literature—such as Alice
in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, A Christmas Carol, Peter
Pan, Aesop’s Fables, etc; Heavy Literature—such as the Bible or
other religious documents, Shakespeare, Moby Dick, Paradise
Lost, Heart of Darkness, etc; References—such as Roget’s Thesaurus,
almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. The Light Literature Collection is
designed to get people to the computer in the first place, whether a
preschooler or a great-grandparent. We ( Project Gutenberg team ) love to hear
about kids or grandparents taking each other to an Etext to Peter Pan when
they come back from watching HOOK at the movies, or when they read Alice
in Wonderland after seeing it on TV. Nearly every Star Trek movie
has quoted current Project Gutenberg Etext releases. This was a primary concern
when we chose the books for our libraries.

categories can encyclopedias be found?
