Question

20．The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya （弥勒大佛） in sitting posture．The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province，facing Min River，Qingyi River and Dadu River．In December，1996，the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage．
The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty，and finished in the year 803．The Buddha is 71 meters high．The 8-meter-long instep （脚背） is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is la rge enough to be a basketball playground．
A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever．At that time，wild waters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit．So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the river，thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control．After 20 years'begging from door to door，he finally collected enough money for the plan．When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money，Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha．After he dug out his eyeballs，these officials ran away scared．The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away，and two of his disciples （门徒） continued the work．After a total of 90 years'hard work，the project was finally completed．

新闻一般采用"倒金字塔"式结构（即先说结果，再说重要事实，最后说次要内容），但有的通讯叙述方比较灵活多变，有顺叙、倒叙、中间或许还会有插叙、补叙等叙述方法，这就要求我们在阅读时特别关注．必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．
