winter.Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England.The book also really took off in the United States.After her second and third books were published,the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers lists of best-sellers.Then the books were made into popular movies.Without question,Rowlings life had completely changed,in just three years.Harry Potter books have now sold more than 30 million books around the world and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages.In 1997,Rowling was earning 70(about US$110)a week.By the end of

soccer World Cup.The most successful teams in the tournament have traditionally come from South America and Europe.However,over the years,there have been a number of surprising results.In a famous match in 1950,the USA came up against England,one of the favorites to win the tournament.Many of the American players were amateurs from college teams.Surprisingly,the USA won 1-0.Other World Cup surprises were North Koreas win over Italy in 1966,and Cameroons win over Argentina in 1990.The 2002 FIFA World Cup stands out as probably the most surprising World Cup of all time.In the opening match,Senegal surprised everyone by beating France,the World Cup winner in 1998.Japan then beat Russia,the USA beat Portugal,and South Korea beat Italy,Spain,Poland,and Portugal.South Korea made it all the way to the final four,before finally losing to Germany.In the final game,which was watched by one billion people around the world,Brazil won 2-0 over Germany.Brazil set a World Cup record by becoming the first team to win seven games in a row.Also,Brazils most talented player,Ronaldo,scored eight goals in one tournament more than any other player since 1970.56.What is the best title for

close together.They were moving very quickly.Kenneth guessed that their speed was more than 1,600 kilometers an hour.He told journalists that the objects did not move like planes,but like saucers move when someone throws them across the surface of water.Later one of the journalists called the objects“flying saucers”.This was the first time the expression“flying saucer”was used,but people have been seeing UFOs(unidentified flying objects)in the sky for centuries.For example,in the thirteenth century some English farmers saw a flat,silver object in the sky.This is surprising because in those days there were no planes,weather balloons,or space stations that could be mistaken for UFOs.Today,many UFOs turn out to be something quite ordinary.One evening in February 2001,eight colored lights appeared in the sky above Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.The lights seemed to float in the air for ten minutes before moving off and disappearing.Many people thought they were UFOs.They turned out to be good luck lanterns that had been released from a temple.Most UFOs can be explained like this.However there are many that cant.(34)Surveys show that at least half of us believe intelligent life exists on other planets.Is it possible,therefore,that someone from“out there”is visiting us?回答问题或翻译句子。61.Where was Kenneth Arnold when he saw the nine silver objects?62.How did the objects move?63.What were

sail alone around the world.When he set sail from Melbourne,Australia,in December 1998,many people thought they would never see him again.His boat was just 10.23 meters long and Jesse was only seventeen years old!Jesse spent the next eleven months at sea.Some days he was lonely,but most of the time he was too busy to think about being alone.When he wasnt sailing or fixing the boat,he would read books,play his guitar,catch fish,or cook.Jesse had many amazing experiences.One day the boat hit a whale in the water!Both Jesse and the whale were very surprised,but luckily the whale wasnt hurt.One of the most frightening experiences Jesse had was during a storm off the coast of South Africa.Huge waves pushed the boat onto its side and water poured into the cabin.Terrified,Jesse held onto a rail as the boat was thrown around.Afraid that he would be swept into the ocean,he crawled into the wet cabin and stayed there until the storm stopped.(70)After 329 days at sea,Jesse sailed back into Melbournes Port Phillip Bay,where a crowd of 25,000 people waited to welcome him home.When asked why he did it,Jesse said,“I think I wanted to prove to myself that anything was
