       It is reported that two 66-year-old men graduated this summer from Sun Yat-sen University, a well-known university in Guangzhou.

Li Yiquan, a Chinese-Singaporean, earned a postgraduate(研究生) degree in software engineering, while Ang Toon Aun, a Chinese-Malaysian, earned a bachelor's degree with a major in Chinese as a foreign language.

Li, a retired engineer, now lives in Hong Kong. His daughter also received a postgraduate degree this year, but from a British university. So she participated in his graduation ceremony in Guangzhou. Li said he had a special feeling for Sun Yat-sen University because his parents and brother graduated from there.

It wasn't easy for Li to return to school while in his 60s, he said. He failed math exams several times after beginning classes, even though he had a good foundation in math; he graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University majoring in physics 40 years ago and worked as an engineer before retiring.

Ang Toon Aun, 66, was tired of his business career, so he decided to study Chinese at the university and passed level 9, the highest level of the Chinese Test.

"There's nothing in the world that makes me happier than study," said Aun. Many old people in Malaysia were encouraged to keep studying after retirement, but few of them chose to study on campus for a degree as he did.

A young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth，according to Lyell，was not only thousands of years old，it was millions of years old. As to the common belief that changes in the earth’s surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood，he said that this might happen once in a while，but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes，he said，were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas，and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earth’s surface. Once in a great while he thought，a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily.

Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell’s ideas，but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world.

At Cambridge，Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination，and received his college degree in 1831.During this time，he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year，he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth’s crust (地壳). Fossils may be of animals，such as fish，insects，birds，or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees.

When a living creature dies，it usually decays (腐烂)or is eaten by animals. However，if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm，the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear，leaving the inside hollow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy，like stone.

71.According to Charles Lyell，it is mainly         that the earth has been formed like today’s shape.

A. from the beginning of time                           B. past some experiences of big flood

C. over a very long period of years                    D. because of several big earthquakes

72.Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed         .

A. more by seas than by volcanoes                     B. more slowly than suddenly

C. more by an earthquake than by winds      D. more steadily than quickly

73.Unlike Professor Henslow，Charles Darwin         .

A. never thought Lyell’s ideas were right

B. did made up his mind not to accept Lyell’s ideas

C. thought about what the world were then thinking about

D. thought over Lyell’s ideas and developed them

74.The main purpose of Darwin’s going to North Wales was to         .

A. make a study of fossils

B. appreciate the rock formation

C. to do research work into dead animals

D. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees

75.In which order are fossils formed?

a. A living thing sinks into a riverbed or sands.

b. Water goes into a bone hollow together with mineral.

c. Something soft in a bone disappears.

d. The hardened mineral makes the bone hard.

e. The bone becomes hollow inside.

On May 7, nineteen-year-old Hu Bin, after drinking, knocked a man to death when he was driving his sports car at an extremely fast pace between 84.1 k/h to 101.2 k/h. Hu was sentenced into prison for three years, according to the final judgment. Out of a hope for better traffic regulation and more drivers with loving hearts, Hangzhou City has since set up several special zebra crossings, which are wider, color-changed, and feature loving hearts wrapped up in the middle.

   On August 4, a sixteen-year-old girl was crashed into by a black Porsche Cayenne and dead while crossing the street in Hangzhou City. The driver, 29-year-old Wei Zhigang, and his fiancé, who was also in the car when the accident took place, were both found drunk. According to witnesses, the Porsche Cayenne was speeding at more than 80 kilometers per hour at the time. The victim, Ma Fangfang, is a waitress in a restaurant in Hangzhou. She was walking on the zebra crossing when the Porsche Cayenne violently charged toward her and knocked her away. Wei Zhigang, the driver of the Porsche Cayenne, together with his fiancé, was detained and investigated by the Public Security Organ in Hanghzhou. Ironically, the zebra crossing where the accident took place is titled the “Zebra crossing of Living Hearts” in memory of the May 7 car accident in Hangzhou.
