3.The following are about modern wonders of the world.The Suez Canal
More than 3,000 years ago,a king of Egypt ordered that a river be built to connect the Mediterranean Sea(地中海) and the Red Sea.This kind of man-made river is called a canal.However,ancient Egyptians did not keep this canal in use.As years passed,the sands of the great deserts of Egypt closed the small canal.
In 1859,Egyptian workers began rebuilding the canal.It was opened and named the Suez Canal on November 17th,1869.Though closed several times because of war or political problems,the Suez Canal is still the fastest crossing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean today,saving shipping companies a great deal of time and money.
The Channel Tunnel
The great canal connects oceans.The next great wonder connects land.It is called the Channel Tunnel,or"Chunnel",connecting Britain with France.The tunnel is 50kilometers long,built about 45meters below the earth under the English Channel(海峡).
The work began in 1987and it took seven years to finish.The cost was more than 13,000million dollars.The Chunnel opened In 1994.
Today,the Chunnel is very busy.High-speed trains carry cars,trucks and passengers from Britain to France and back again.The trains are famous for their smooth,quiet ride.The money paid for the trip is slowly paying for the huge cost.
The Three Gorges Dam
The Three Gorges Dam is perhaps the largest construction project on earth.The work began in 1993.The Three Gorges Dam is built to produce power and control China's Yangtze River.The completed dam produces large amounts of electric power.
Completed in 2009,the dam creates a huge lake about 632square kilometers.Some critics say the dam harms the environment and damages historical areas.More than one million people had been resettled before the dam was finished.Chinese government officials say it will lead to increased economic development in cities near the dam,and the terrible
floods caused by the Yangtze have become memories of the past.

9.If you want to write a movie script (脚本) yourself but don't know how,what would you do?The following can be of some help to you.
There are only three parts necessary in a script:the Scene Heading,the Visual Exposition and the Dialogue.
The Scene Heading begins with either"EXT."or"INT.".EXT.shows that the scene takes place outdoors,while INT.is used when the scene takes place indoors,for example,inside a room.After that,the exact place of the scene is given,such as"HOTEL ROOM."The last thing that must be mentioned is whether it is NIGHT or DAY.
The Visual Exposition is a description of the action or movement that takes place on the screen,and should include ONLY what you would see if you were watching the screen.For the first time,and only the first time,a character appears in the script,the name is capitalized (大写),and should be followed by a short description that includes age and build,for example:
The Dialogue follows the Visual Exposition.Each character's name should be capitalized in the center of the page,followed by the words that are to be spoken on the next line.Do not include any description of feelings before the lines of dialogue.If you consider it necessary to show a character gives a line in a certain way,for example,"angrily,"this should be included in the Visual Exposition above the lines,such as,"Cynthia's face shows her anger."But remember,Visual Exposition should ONLY show action we can see.
