M: What are you reading, Lucy?

W: The Travels of Marco Polo. We have to read it for class. Marco Polo was a famous traveler from Italy at the end of the 13th century. He spent 24 years on his journey and even went as far as China. Have you heard about him?

M: Of course! I love learning about the ancient explorers and travelers. Through them, you can find out what the world was like in those times. But there is an even older traveler that I like more. Do you know about Xuanzang?

W: No. Who was he?

M: He was a Chinese man from the 7th century. It took him 17 years to go from China to India and back. He wanted to learn about the origin of Buddhism. His journey must have been amazing. If you’d like to read about it, there’s a storybook called Journey to the West. It is a fantasy story about Xuanzang’s experiences.

【题目】 Smooth balls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these “ice eggs” come from?

Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus 1degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. “There we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line”.

The “ice eggs” littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer ball. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had “never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. “I've never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice balls,” said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she’d seen snowballs line the shoreline before, but not over such a large area.

“Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach.” said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks() of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide or get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water' s surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击) the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny “eggs” for curious tourists to happen upon.
