16、 As I stared at the access road，I heard the sound of a snowblower. Lord，please help us get to Daddy today，I prayed.The sound of the snowblower grew louder. I looked up. There，coming straight toward us was a big yellow machine with a huge plow (犁) effortlessly clearing a path through the snow-packed

21、r the lake. 来源:学科网ZXXKAibi Lake is situated in a lowland in Junggar Basin (准格尔盆地). Over the past 50 years，the lake has been seldom protected and as a result，the area of the lake has become smaller dramatically. During the 1950s，the lake had a total area of 12 million square meters. But now，it is 5.4
22、 million square meters. Large areas of salt marshes (盐沼) are exposed outside，becoming the source of sandstorms. Related information shows that every year，some 4.8 million tons of sand is blown from the salt marshes in Aibi Lake. The sandstorms have brought damaging effects to northern Xinjiang and e

Shes used to the requirement of loaded schedules and television cameras as a character on the hit Disney Channel show, Wizards of Waverly Place.Stone remembers well the origins of her acting roots. One summer when Stones mother aske
29、d her brother to find a hobby other than video games, the family began going to the theater.“I was always the kid that liked going to performances very much,”Stone remembers. While her brothers likes for acting disappeared through the years, Stones interest grew, and she signed (签约) with an agent at
30、 age 8. Stone landed a role in the 2003 film, Secondhand Lions and has guest starred on Without a Trace and House M. D.“The difference with movies,”says Stone, comparing her film experiences to TV,“is that you get to change your characters a lot more often. And they tend to be more challenging chara
31、cter-wise. But, with a television series you get to know your character really, really well.”In readying herself to take on a role, Stone explains that its important to know from which angle (角度) she is going to act a character.“You have to make a decision and run with it, because you cant really ha
32、lf do anything,”she says.“You just have to do all your homework, and then when the day comes to film it, you leave all that in storage.”Stone made friends with rising stars on the Disney Channel.“We joke around a lot.

37、ength, they are among the Big Five, a main attraction for visitors to Kenya.”There were 2,749 lions in Kenya in 2002 and their population dropped to 2,280 by 2004 and to about 2,000 today, according to KWS figures. “The fall of the lion population is worrying and every effort needs to be made to mak
38、e sure that Kenya either protects its population of 2,000 lions at present or increases the numbers to an ecologically (生态上地) acceptable level,”said Mr. Udoto. “There is no doubt that the numbers are in free fall.

39、rector of Living With Lions，a Kenya-based animal protection organization.“When I first came here 30 years ago, you would always hear lions roaring (怒) across the land at night and see their tracks in the morning. Now that is very rare.” “The reason is simple. As the numbers of people grow, the numbe
40、rs of cows increase. They take up much of the lions space. Alongside that there are other ways, including poisoning, to kill lions.”Animal lovers are making a new strategy to save the animals. Part of the measures will include tracking lions fitted with radio collars (无线电项圈) in the Amboseli area in
41、southern Kenya，close to the border with Tanzania.

Thanks to a cool summer and extremely c
45、old winter in 1794，wine producers in Franconia，Germany，created ice wine by pressing juice from frozen grapes. In 1972，the first ice wine in North America was made in Canada. Today，Canada is the largest producer of the sweet treat，with the largest share coming from Ontarios Niagara Peninsula. The Oka
