lifted them since their rediscovery in 1953.They are named after Donald Dinnie,who carried them across Potarch Bridge in 1860.Just one woman,Jan Todd,lifted them in 1979.Leigh Holland-Keen became only the second woman to do it.She said,“It was fantastic,quite an emotional experience.I felt crazy to be able to do that,and having the crowd being so positive created an amazing atmosphere.”Holland-Keen,29,who is an Australian nurse,was inspired by her mother and stepfathers love of weight training,and started going to the gym when she was only about 14.She first attempted to lift the stones last year,while accompanying her mother and stepfather who had come to try it (her stepfather successfully lifted them in 2009).She hadnt expected to attempt to lift them and hadnt trained for it,but couldnt pass the opportunity up.“I tried it and was very close,so I thought maybe I could actually do these within the next couple of years,” she says.“My mum and I made it our goal to train and get these up.”She also says,“The appeal of weightlifting is in not giving up.Its good to constantly challenge yourself.If you cant lift it up the first time you try,its something to work towards.You keep persevering and then you can do it.It feels good to achieve it.Training can go so well and then on the day anything can happen.If I did make it,it would be fantastic.If I didnt,I would just come back next year and try again.”Holland-Keen borrowed some replica(复制品) Dinnie Stones rings and loaded them with weights and trained in her garage three to four times a week,for up to two hours at a time.She says,“Its getting better but there is a common myth that if you lift heavy weights,youre going to look very manly.”【语篇解读】

Lympne,said:“Obviously were all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.Shes healthy,strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother,Solio,is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.Its still a little too cold for them to go out into the open,but as soon as the weather warms up,I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve,but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg.His mother,grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.According to the World Wildlife Fund,the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500,giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在Port Lympne保护区的部分黑犀牛的现状。28.Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?A.Costly.B.Controversial.C.Ambitious.D.Successful.答案D解析推理判断题。通过文章第一段“she became
