17、ol of the white people.The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivias. Of all the mining products, tin is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivias exports.

18、 The eastern slopes of the Andes, since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters.

24、rison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962; the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy(遺產(chǎn)) of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars

25、 will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary masters trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved (1988), which deals with a black mothers love under slavery and in freedom. Jazx (1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s

26、Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Coseys Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation sport for colored folk on the East

27、 Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrisons most accessible work since

At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle

33、 along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders w

34、as hired as an instructor at Ridgways school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older mans cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole arent the usu

35、al holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didnt say, You are completely crazy,” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffer

36、ed frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and hes skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.

He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of o

42、ne particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant (有才華的) mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he co

43、uld not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (橢圓).Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the

44、 years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart (相隔).This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as peop

45、le thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There

46、 were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before.
