            Wayne Mark Rooney was born on October 24, 1985, in Croxteth, Liverpool, England. From an early age, Rooney's talent on the field was hard to miss. He scored 99 goals for a local junior league team at age 9, catching the attention of a scout with the Everton Football Club, a franchise in the English Premier League. Rooney signed with Everton and spent the next several years. Rooney made his professional debut with Everton in August 2002. Two months later, he became the youngest-ever goal scorer in Premier League history. In 2002 Rooney captured the BBC Sports Young Personality of the Year award.            Despite his earlier affinity for his local pro club, in 2004 Rooney signed on with Manchester United after his new team paid Everton a transfer fee of roughly $48 million. The move was seen as treason by Everton fans, and when he later returned to play against his old club, he was roundly booed by his former supporters. Rooney, however, expressed no regrets about the change, and neither did United.In the 2006 Football League Cup, the quick-tempered playmaker, scored twice to lead his club to a 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic in the final.

    Earthquake often happens around us. It brings graet damages. An earthquake is hard to be predicted and it often makes lot victims.         Actually there are three kinds of earthquakes. These kinds of earthquakes are commonly base on the factor and geological area where the earquakes happen. They are tectonic, volcanic and explosion.     Tectonic earthquake is most common one. This kind of earthquake happens while earth’s crust rocks break because of the geological strength created by moving of the earth’s plates.         A volcanic earthquake happens exactly with volcanic activity. During the volcanic earthquake happens, the volcano produces acidic lava, which drys quickly and blocks the top of the volcano. This makes no more magma can escape. Pressure starts to build up and eventually the acidic lava can no longer stand the pressure. So the volcano is free to explode. The pressure is rleased so fast that an earthquake is cuased. A volcanic earthquake is usually kept within 10 – 20 miles of the volcano.         Explosion earthquake is the result of the collapse as a small earthquake occurring underground mines and caverns.

Prambanan Temple      Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Central Java in Indonesia, located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta.The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.      It was built around 850 CE by either Rakai Pikatan, king of the second Mataram dynasty, or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya Dynasty. Not long after its construction, the temple was abandoned and began to deteriorate. Reconstruction of the compound began in 1918. The main building was completed in around 1953. Much of the original stonework has been stolen and reused at remote construction sites. A temple will only be rebuilt if at least 75% of the original stones are available, and therefore only the foundation walls of most of the smaller shrines are now visible and with no plans for their reconstruction.      The temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006. Early photos suggest that although the complex appears to be structurally intact, damage is significant. Large pieces of debris, including carvings, were scattered over the ground. The temple has been closed to the public until damage can be fully assessed. The head of Yogyakarta Archaeological Conservation Agency stated that: “it will take months to identify the precise damage”. However, some weeks later in 2006 the site re-opened for visitors. The immediate surroundings of the Hindu temples remain off-limits for safety reasons. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

• A.

  The site temple re-opened for visitors some weeks after the damage identified.

• B.

  Prambanan temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006.

• C.

Prambanan Temple       Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Central Java in Indonesia, located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta.The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the 47m highcentral building inside a large complex of individual temples.      It was built around 850 CE by either Rakai Pikatan, king of the second Mataram dynasty, or Balitung Maha Sambu, during the Sanjaya Dynasty. Not long after its construction, the temple was abandoned and began to deteriorate. Reconstruction of the compound began in 1918. The main building was completed in around 1953. Much of the original stonework has been stolen and reused at remote construction sites. A temple will only be rebuilt if at least 75% of the original stones are available, and therefore only the foundation walls of most of the smaller shrines are now visible and with no plans for their reconstruction.       The temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006. Early photos suggest that although the complex appears to be structurally intact, damage is significant. Large pieces of debris, including carvings, were scattered over the ground. The temple has been closed to the public until damage can be fully assessed. The head of Yogyakarta Archaeological Conservation Agency stated that: “it will take months to identify the precise damage”. However, some weeks later in 2006 the site re-opened for visitors. The immediate surroundings of the Hindu temples remain off-limits for safety reasons. From the text, we know that ….

The Spindle, the Spool, and the Needle        All alone in the world, a young girl once lived in a small house in the middle of the woods. She was very poor, but she knew how to sew and, because she was very hard working and clever, she managed to earn her living by using her spindle, her spool and her needle.        One day, looking for a wife, a young prince came to the village asking who was the most beautiful and industrious young girl in the place. Many girls were pointed out to him, the richest and the most elegant ones, but nobody thought of the poor young seamstress. Only objects that she used in her daily work thought of her. The spindle jumped out of her hand and ran off through the woods, pulling a long golden thread behind it. The spool also jumped away, but it stopped outside the door and wove a lovely rug. The needle began to dance wildly in the amazed young girl’s fingers, and made tablecloths, curtains, and cushions, transforming the poor little house into a pretty and welcoming one. When the spindle and the golden thread led the prince to her door later, the lovely little seamstress and her pretty house pleased him so much that he never left her side again.

LANDSLIDE        A landslide is the movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope. They result from the failure of the materials which make up the hill slope and are driven by the force of gravity.
