1、Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared in
2、vasion, it would have been completed. Recently, there has again been great interest in the idea of a Channel Tunnel. If it is built, it will connect Britain to Europe for the first time in history.Lesson65 Jumbo versus the police 小象对警察Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take so
3、me presents to a childrens hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a guard of honour of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He, should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman appro
4、ached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. Jumbo
5、must weigh a few tons, said a policeman afterwards, so it was fortunate that we didnt have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.Lesson66 Sweet as honey! 像蜜一样甜！The Hatheld Puffin is a modern aero-plane, but its designer, Mr John Wi
6、mpenny, is finding it difficult to get it off the ground. The reason for this is that this plane is also a bicycle. Its pilot has to pedal hard to get it into the air. After Mr Wimpenny had the plane built, it was tested thoroughly. In 1961, it was the first man-powered aircraft to fly half a mile.
7、While being flown by a champion amateur cyclist in 1963, the plane crashed on an airfield. Since then, Mr Wimpenny has had it rebuilt. He has had the length of the wings increased so that they now measure 93 feet-almost as long as those of a Dakota. Many people have shown interest in this new and un
8、usual sport. But though air cyclists may learn how to fly over short distances, and may, eventually, even get across the English Channel, it is doubtful whether they will ever cycle across the Atlantic.Lesson67 Volcanoes 火山Haroun Tazieff the Polish scientist, has spent his life-time studying active
9、volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photogra
10、phs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later. This time, he
11、 managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive. Lesson68 Persistent 纠缠不休I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he
12、saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Bert Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around
13、 all morning.Hullo, Bert, I said. Fancy meeting you here !Hullo, Elizabeth, Bert answered. I was just wondering how to spend the morning-until I saw you. Youre not busy doing anything, are you ? No, not at all, I answered. Im going to. .Would you mind my coming with you ? he asked, before I had fini
14、shed speaking. Not at all, I lied, but Im going to the dentist. Then Ill come with you, he answered. Theres always plenty to read in the waiting room !lesson69 But not murder! 并非谋杀！I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so
15、 successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, Just one more thing, Mr Eames. Let us suppose that a chil
16、d suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, I want the car to be stopped immediately. I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal har
17、d and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. Mr Eames, he said, in a mournful voice, you have just killed that child ! lesson70 Red for danger 危险的红色During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of
18、 the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, howe
19、ver, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for h
20、im, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.Lesson71 A famous clock 一个著名的大钟When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If
21、 the Houses of Parliament had hot been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but is extremel
22、y accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time. A pai
23、nter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down ! Lesson72 A car called Bluebird “蓝鸟”汽车The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville
24、Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2500 horse-power engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first ru
25、n. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds of over 400 miles an ho
26、ur. Following his fathers footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolms son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.Lesson73 The record-holder 纪录保持者Little boys who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet days fishing, or eight hours in a cinem
27、a seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1600 miles. He hitch- hiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered
28、 that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitch-hiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre o
29、f Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of boys who dream of evading school.Lesson74 Out of the limelight 舞台之外An ancient bus s
30、topped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.This is a wonderful place for a picnic,
31、said Gloria Gleam. It couldnt be better, Gloria, Brinksley Meers agreed. No newspaper men, no film fans! Why dont we come more often ? Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themsel
32、ves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. Now you gut out of here, all of you! he shouted: Im sheriff here. Do you see that notice ? It says No Camping-in case you cant read ! Look, sheriff, said Rockwall, dont be too hard on us. Im Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves. Oh,
33、is it ? said the sheriff with a sneer. Well, Im Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast !lesson75 SOS 呼救信号When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and
34、her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark. she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the ni
35、ght, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early ,next morning she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters SOS in t
36、he snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.Lesson76 April Fools Day 愚人节To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer,
37、we are taking you to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Ricardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here

41、关部门决策。第二章 项目建设背景及投资的经济和社会意义一、项目背景1、县情简介 农安县隶属吉林省长春市，位于松辽平原腹地，东经1243112545，北纬43554455。东临德惠市，南接省城长春市，西以公主岭市和长岭县为邻，北与松原市接壤。年均气温4.7度，无霜期145天，降水量507.7毫米，有效积温2800度。地势平坦，四季分明，属中温带大陆性气候。全县幅员5400平方公里，其中耕地435万亩，林地95万亩，草原面积52万亩，水域面积33万亩。全县辖22个乡镇，376个村，总人口115万，其中农业人口85万，是全省幅员超过700万亩的10个县份之一，耕地超过400万亩的3个县份之一，人口超
42、过百万的2个县份之一。目前，建成区20平方公里，常住人口23.2万人。城区街路宽敞，市容整洁，楼房林立，初具中等城市规模。 农安县位于长春和松原两大城市之间，地理位置优越，交通便利。长白铁路、长白公路、302国道纵贯南北。全县22个乡镇全部通油路，是全省第二个实现乡乡通油路的县份。县城所在地距长春市区60公里，处于长春1小时经济圈内，距长春龙嘉国际机场90公里，距大连港口700公里。目前，珲乌高速（农安段）及辅线工程正在修建当中，该路建成后，县城至省会长春只需半小时，县城至松原只需1小时。农安县水资源丰富，基础设施齐备。松花江、伊通河、新开河穿境而过；有大中型水库4座；波罗湖是吉林省第三大自然
43、泡塘和湿地。县内建有装机容量2万千瓦的引松工程，有日处理4万吨的净水厂。目前，中部城市引松供水农安支线工程正在建设当中。农安县是全国农畜产品大县。粮食产量稳定在45亿斤以上，1990年进入全国十大产粮县行列，1995年、1996年列全国十大产粮县之首。经济作物数量多、品质优。马铃薯、“三辣”（辣椒、朱葱、大蒜）、胡罗卜、林果、晒烟、西兰花等种植面积100万亩，年产量30亿斤。畜禽总量1.25亿头（只），其中年出栏生猪200万头，黄牛50万头，肉羊40万只，大鹅500万只，肉鸡5000万只。全县肉类总产量40万吨以上，2003年成为全国肉类总产量第一大县。2、项目业主情况 玉磊合作社成立于201
44、1年5月25日，在农安县登记注册，注册资金：510万元，法定代表人：刘玉磊，注册地址：农安县巴吉垒镇镇元宝沟村，主营无公害蔬菜种植、加工、销售；地处县城西部32公里处，距离长春60公里，在长春一小时经济圈范围内。项目建设地依山傍水环境优美，未有污染源非常适宜植物动物的生长繁殖的净地。玉磊合作社在巴吉垒镇元宝村征租荒芜盐碱土地4545亩，建无公害棚房种植蔬菜面积900亩。 玉磊合作社拟建成省级产业化无公害蔬菜种植基地科技示范龙头企业。玉磊合作社技术力量雄厚。玉磊合作社现以专职技术人员3人（均是大学本科学历，其中副高一人），专职技师七人），技术工人27人。同时，玉磊合作社还与省农科院和吉林农大等科
45、研院所保持着密切联系。玉磊合作社采用先进生产设施。投资20万元建造太阳能采暖设备平方米，购置了运输车、蓄水池、净菜池、沼气池、无滴大棚、无菌园舍等，布局科学。 3、“无公害”农产品的特点和前景 无公害农产品是产地环境、生产过程和产品质量符合国家有关标准和规范要求，经农业部农产品质量安全中的认证合格获得认证书并允许加帖无公害农产品标志的未领加工或者初加工的食用农产品。无公害农产品是发展绿色食品乃至有机食品的基础，是作为食品的一种基本要求。但目前市场上的农产品，要么有农肥、农药残留，要么是亚硝酸盐、病菌等污染物超标，对人体健康带来极大隐患。党和政府对此十分重视，在全国大、中城市逐步推行食用农产品市
46、场准入制度。因此，无公害农产品的市场前景十分广阔。二、项目建设的必要性和可行性1、必要性 一是提高农产品食用安全和质量，改善人们膳食结构的需要。随着经济社会发展，营养知识的普及，人们对饮食的安全质量的要求越来越高，无公害农产品正逐步取代传农产品，成为人们生活消费的必需品。 二是满足市场供求的需要，地处地处长春、松原两市之间，在这长春市市区4906平方平方公里松原市 面积20159平方公里，在这7000 平方平方公里的土地上生活着1200万人民，其中有80%在市场上购买蔬菜产品。 仅长春市年消费蔬菜现在尚有44881万公斤缺口。长春每天消费蔬菜272万公斤，长春市按城区362.3万人口每人每天消费0.75公斤蔬菜计算，城市蔬菜消费量每天需要272万公斤，每月需要8265万公斤，全年需要99179万公斤。夏季自给率97，淡季58。 三是农业结构调整的需要。今年全省棚膜经济工作会议明确指出：近两年，全省新建棚室13.3万亩，总规模要达到90万亩。并安排了3000万专项资金。因此，必须
