10、e 1960s. This is mostly a result of recent TV shows. Many of the styles on sale look attractive on teenage girls.

17、een-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when hes in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded (处于困境 ) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hat
18、chet (手斧) and the clothes on his back. As the plane goes down in the story, the risks rise for Brian. Thats one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen explains Brians troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brians troubles as well. One other reason is that
19、it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsens books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive?” So its obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel.

20、rches for food and shelter. Wh en Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street.

21、 (矛) or an arrow. In a word, when you start this book, you wont stop reading it until Brian is rescued.

Gary Paulsen saved Brian Robesons life D. the author thinks highly of the novelCDroughts (干旱 ) are a common feature of the weather in the UK, with one around every 5 to 10 ye
24、ars on average. After 18 months since the drought began to hit the UK, most of the east and south-east of England is affected by drought. Luckily, a new water plant in Beckton, East London, is helping to ease the drought by turning seawater into drinking water.The 270-million plant uses a process ca
25、lled desalination, t hrough which salt and other minerals are taken out of seawater. The plant takes seawater from the Thames Estuary when the sea is at low tide, filters (过滤) it and then pumps it through a membrane (薄膜) with lots of little holes in it. The process makes the water so clean that esse
26、ntial minerals have to be put back into it. Around 150 million liters of water will be produced in this way each day, supplying 1.4 million people with water.With summer drawing near, the project has been developed to help the widespread drought across the UK.

27、e limited use of water, and hosepipe (水龙带) bans are likely to be announced next month.
