There are lots of great watery wonders in the world, but some are disappearing.
The Dead Sea
At 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth’s lowest point on land. It is popular for its wonderful buoyancy(浮力). The high salt content makes swimming more like floating.
Now the Dead Sea is actually dying. People are using water from the Jordan River, which takes water away from the Dead Sea. Since 1930, its surfing area has reduced by almost 40 percent.
Venice, Italy
With waterways instead of streets, this“Floating City”has attracted visitors for centuries. But no visit to Venice is complete without a ride on one of its famous boats called gondolas, human powered water taxis. Water creates Venice. But water will also kill the city.
Built on soft earth, Venice has slowly been sinking for centuries. Now, with rising sea levels caused by human activities. It’s sinking faster. The city may disappear in the next 100 years.
Great Barrier Reef
Covering more than 2,300 kilometers of Australia’s northeast coast, Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef ecosystem, and an ideal place for scuba divers. Thousands of colorful coral and fish make homes in the blue sea water. It’s like a big underwater party!
Sadly, the party might be over soon. The reef is dying. Human activities are changing the weather. Warming ocean water kills the coral, and this causes problems up the food chain. The reef system might be gone by 2030.

A. float in the water B. sink in the water
C. disappear in the water D. be killed in the water

C. warming seas D. human activities

Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes---a famous detective Here is one of his cases. Stapleton, Charles’ younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子) ---Henry both died.

Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London.

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major(专业) in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers later in life.
J. K. Rowling, the writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion finally led him to become President of the United States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it’s all a matter of how hard you try.
42. ________ was a teacher before he (she) became famous.
A. Vincent Van Gogh B. Ronald Reagan C. J. K. Rowling D. Harry Potter
