Once inside you'll be impressed by the Cathedral's graceful and elegant proportions. We visit The Chapter House home to
one of only 4 surviving copies of the Magna Carta (大憲章) and see the oldest working clock in Europe, dating back to 1386.
Mysterious Stonehenge
     5,000 years ago the huge 40 tone stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why does it remain mysteries today? Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an
astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to attract the imagination and hold the heart of every visitor.
Bath
     This beautiful Georgian city, most famous for its baths fed by three hot springs, is a World Heritage
Site (世界遺址地). With its stunning Georgian architectures, on our panoramic tour of the city we will

and still in perfect working order.

     Sydney-A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney
on
February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon. , on Sydney's northern beaches,
around dawn when he was attacked. The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the
summer months.
    "The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭動(dòng))about in the water. ,
"police said. "Fortunately. , the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father."
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said. , "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father
came and dragged him out of water." He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to
the shore. "There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine. "The teenager was airlifted to hospital for
treatment for leg injuries.
   Police said the bites "cut through to the bone". , but the boy did not app ear to have sustained any
fractures (骨折). He was in a stable condition now.
   Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the
shark. , while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was
too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. "I don't even know if he saw it. , "Miller said.

relatively rare. However. , there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month. , one on a
navy diver in Sydney harbor. , not far from the famous Opera House. , and  the other on a surfer at
the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
    Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor
, which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a
cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species
, including the Great White-the maneaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws-are protected in
Australian waters.

     Are you unhappy about the shape of your nose? Or do you feel that your ears are too big
or your eyes too small? Yon don't need to despair (絕望) about any of these things any longer.
They can all be put right by a surgeon. Surgeons are doctors who make sick people well by

to make ugly or plain people beautiful. This work is called plastic surgery (整形外科). Plastic
surgeons are very popular in some countries. They make a lot of money by selling beauty to men

an aesthetic (麻醉劑). Then he will operate on my nose to give it the shape I want. He will put a
plaster case over it to keep it in its new shape. I shall have to spend the next week or two anxiously
wondering whether the operation has been successful or not. "Will my nose really look better?" Or
will I look uglier than before? Won't there be scars (疤痕) after the operation? What shall I do if my
 nose is not the shape I wanted? And then the great day will come. The surgeon will take off the
bandages and the plaster, and I shall see my expensive new nose! Will it be worth all the trouble
and expense? Sometimes these operations go wrong, and then the patient comes away looking
worse than before.

1. What is a plastic surgery?  
A. It is not cheap.
