• 1．     Longing for the most amazing places on the planet？You can do no wrong with these lakes across the globe.
      Five Flower Lake
      Set in the striking karst landscape of the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province，China，F(xiàn)ive Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear，with visibility to a depth of 40 metres.Five Flower is one of a series of blue-，green-and sky-colored lakes blocked by rock falls，but it differs from the others as its waters change color，looking sometimes yellow，sometimes green，but usually diamond blue.In winter，F(xiàn)ive Flower never freezes；in summer，it never dries up.Local wildlife living in the surrounding mountain forests include the rare giant panda and the golden snub-nose monkey.
      Crater Lake
      The deep-blue waters of Crater Lake in Oregon，US，fill the outlet of an ancient volcano that collapsed 7，700 years ago.Its strangest occupant is the "Old Man of the Lake"，a nine-metre-tall tree stump（樹樁），which has stood upright in the water for more than a century.No rivers or streams enter the lake.Water loss in summer is compensated by winter snow and rain，the entire body of water being replaced every 250 years.
      Lake Ohrid
      Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and crosses the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania.It has unique plants and wildlife，including the Ohrid "plashica"，a fish native to the lake，whose scales（鱗片） are used to make Ohrid pearls.
      Lake Maggiore
      Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south，Lake Maggiore is Italy's longest lake.Considered part of the country's lake district，it is shared with Switzerland.Characterized by a Mediterranean-style climate，temperatures here are mild all year.This has given rise to some of northern Italy's most wonderful gardens，which appear to float like flower-decked boats on the water.

  A．Its agreeable climate.
  B．The rare local wildlife.
  C．Its color-changing waters.
  D．The visibility of waters.

• 2．    Not all heroes wear capes（斗篷） and Steve Montelongo proved the statement.While he doesn't consider himself a hero，he has saved the lives of three people during the last two decades.

     This，however，wasn't Montelongo's only act of heroism.Nearly 20 years ago，he helped two of his neighbors get to safety as their house was caught in a fire.He was 62 years old at the time and had to kick open his neighbor's front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathirne Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne Maxwell.During the rescue，Montelongo suffered chest pains and had to be hospitalized but made a quick recovery （恢復(fù)）.He was awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery and act of heroism.

• 3．Specialists（專家）say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is what these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment.The specialists say that there are three stages of culture shock.In the first stage，the newcomers like their new environment.Then，when the fresh experience dies，they begin to hate the city，the country，the people，and everything else.In the last stage，the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and，as a result，enjoy their life more.
