3．The golden red sun was setting．Catherine was on the beach，looking up at the bright ball．She was amazed by its color，deep red in the middle，softly fading into yellow．She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky．The atmosphere（氛围） relaxed her．After all she had been through，this was what she needed．"It's getting late，"she thought，"I must go home．My parents will be wondering where I am．"．
She wondered how her parents would react，when she got home after the three days she was missing．She kept on walking．The road was deserted．She walked slowly and silently．Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house．It was really getting dark now．The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too．She wished she had her favorite sweater on：it kept her really warm．She imagined having it with her．This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door．It seemed different．Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days．She was shocked：her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy，and now…It all seemed deserted．She couldn't understand what was going on．
She entered the house．First，she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father．It said："Dear Ellen，there is some coffee ready．I went looking．"Ellen was her mother but-where was she？On the right side of the hallway was her parents'room．She went in．Then she saw her．Her mother，lying on the bed，was sleeping．Her face looked so tired，as if she hadn't slept for days．She was really pale．Catherine would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired．So Catherine just fell asleep beside her．When Catherine woke up，something was different-she wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in．She was in her comfortable bed in her pajamas．
It felt so good being back home．Suddenly she heard a voice，"Are you feeling better now，dear？You know you got us very，very scared．"

59．Three days later Catherine came back homeC．
A．at sunrise        B．at midnight      C．at sunset     D．at midday
60．What does the underlined phrase"This thought"（in para.2）most probably mean？D．

Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, while attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge．Even so, Dario Schworer a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that．

The Swiss couple want to travel across the world's oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life．

"We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas．" Schworer said．"We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future．"

Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through the world's climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature．

In the 47 countries they have visited they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the sun's rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation．They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children．

So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power．

When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own．But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Neo was born in Australia．

Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, they believe it could take seven more．

8．It came as something of a surprise when Diana，Princess of Wales，made a trip to Angola in 1997，to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines．Within hours of arriving in Angola television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines．"I knew the statistics，"she said，"But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me； like when I met Sandra，a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg，and people like her．"
The Princess concluded with a simple message："We must stop landmines"．And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message．
But，back in London，her views were not shared by some members of the British government，which refused to support a ban on these weapons．Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press．They described her as"very ill-informed"and a"loose cannon （乱放炮的人）．"
The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms："This is a distraction we do not need．All I'm trying to do is help．"
Opposition parties，the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess．To make matters worse for the government，it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office，and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines．The result was a severe embarrassment for the government．
To try and limit the damage，the Foreign Secretary，Malcolm Rifkind，claimed that the Princess's views on landmines were not very different from government policy，and that it was"working towards"a worldwide ban．The Defence Secretary，Michael Portillo，claimed the matter was"a misinterpretation or misunderstanding"．
For the Princess，the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause．She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems．
