我问了一个相当难的问题,但他立刻就给出了答案。 |
During a recent vacation I visited Dusseldorf,a city in the dormer West Germany.The nine-day trip left a deep impression on me.I arrived at Dusseldorf airport at six.It was already dark outside.The first thing I needed to do was to find a place to 36 .I decided to telephone the youth hotel.But to use the 37 I needed some coins. I asked a lady for help.To my 38,she 39 me five coins to use!But all the phones in the 40 needed phone cards.And phone cards could only be 41 at post office during the daytime.I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to call the 42 .An old gentleman helped me.He couldn’t speak English but 43 that I needed to make a phone call.He showed me where the 44 was and inserted(插入) his phone card.I called the youth hotel and found a place to stay that night.The kindness of the German people made me feel 45 and it seemed that I was not far from 46 .And my first day in Germany wasn’t as 47 as I expected previously.
Whenever I went,I asked people for 48 .What surprised me most was that almost every young German could tell me the way in 49 English.Older Germans couldn’t speak English so well, 50 ,they would try to help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man I asked for directions even 51 me to the place I was looking for.My experience in Germany completely changed my 52 of Germans.Before,I thought they were unfriendly to foreigners. In the World War II in the 1940s,Germans were always 53 .But things have 54 since then.And Germans today couldn’t be more 55 ,in my opinion.

While I was on a trip to Papua New Guinea to take underwater photographs, I asked a local dive guide to help me find a pygmy sea horse(侏儒海马). I wanted to take a picture of it. These sea horses can be red or yellow-and-orange. The red pygmy sea horse lives on only one type of coral, a red sea fan that grows at depths below ninety feet.
This depth made the job even tougher. As the pressure on my body increased, I had to breathe harder, which used my air supply faster. So the deeper I dived, the shorter my time underwater.
I had a lot to do. First, I had to find the pygmy sea horse’s special type of fan .Then I had to look over the whole fan with my magnifying glass(放大镜) to see if a sea horse lived on it. If not, I had to find another fan—all the while keeping an eye on my oxygen supply. The second fan rewarded me with a find. The dive guide held the magnifying glass so I could have my first look at the tiny fish.
My next challenge was to focus my camera on such a small subject. The dive guide pointed at the tiny creature. I looked through the viewfinder(取景物) on my large underwater camera housing(相架), found the guide’s finger, and followed it to the sea horse.
It was hard to hold ourselves steady because both of us were floating in mid-water, but our system worked. I could hardly contain my excitement as I focused on the eyes of the cutest sea horse imaginable.
