A three-year independent investigation into the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation conclusively (and unfortunately), establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."

A CNN Reporter at the scene states that there is no evidence that a 757 hit the Pentagon.

　  What hit the Pentagon? A Boeing 757 loaded with passengers and fuel right? Who was on Flight 757? According to the Flight Information there were No Arabs on it. That makes me wonder if Flight 757 actually existed at all.

　　From the pictures and the videos, people can find that there are several doubtful points that need to be taken into consideration, for example the marker line on the grass in the satellite and ground pictures, the different colors of the smoke, the hole which the plane impacted, and the standing pylons (架线塔).

　　Also, from the comparison of the different pictures, people can find some other strange points. For example, the gear (齿轮) is not the matching one. The wreckage of the plane is not the one from the American Airlines. The glass on the pavement of the pole is another doubtful point. The last thing that need considering is about the collapse. One of the gif video shows the plane impacting the Pentagon. The only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered (改变) and can not be fully trusted.

　　These crash photos and videos shown here clearly have been doctored (篡改) and don't even match the physics of what happened. So where is the real video? It leaves me many questions. Is this a missile? It is a real enigma.

In a win-at-all-costs world, we have accepted so-called " gamesmanship" （至胜绝招）．It is not unusual for players to try their best to win．But when it comes to golf, it is a different story—honesty is a symbol of honor in the game．

It's the reason why Zach Nash, a 14-year-old who won a junior tournament this summer in Wisconsin, US, returned his medal．Nash carried an extra club（球棒）in his golf bag during the competition．It belonged to a friend and Zach forgot it was there as he played．A player noticed something was wrong．"Count your golf clubs," he told the teenager．

       Fifteen—one more than allowed．Zach's eyes filled with tears．

The error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club．But even so, the boy packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail "．．．this was golf, and rules are rules．I just knew what I had to do," he said．

Golf isn't a game where referees watch closely, unlike football or basketball．In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot．Competitors call penalties （罚球） on themselves．

The tradition can be traced back．Golf became popular as a pastime for the wealthy, who seemed to have strict rules for every occasion．"It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning．They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College  in New York．

So when one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank．"

As for Zach, he competed in another tournament and before teeing off, he counted his Clubs—four times．

68．Zach Nash returned a medal he won in a junior tournament because __     ___.

       A．he was caught cheating by a player               B．he made a mistake counting his final score

       C．he decided to follow the rules of golf            D．he used another player's club by mistake

69．Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the article?

       A．Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win．

       B．Golf referees watch each shot and call penalties．

       C．Early golf players didn't care about the rules．

       D．In golf honor comes before victory．

70．The word "teeing off" underlined in the last passage probably means "______"．

       A．getting started     B．getting caught        C．leaving              D．winning

71．What is the passage mainly about?

       A．Zack's medal．                             B．The history of golf．

       C．Honesty counts in golf．                     D．Golf is everybody's game．

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading. This article will not make you read 3,000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly. You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don’ts of speed-reading．

When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out. Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud. The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way. Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously.

How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read. Get some reading material, preferably a book. Find out how many words are on the page. Time yourself one minute. Start your timer and start reading. When the timer sounds, stop at once. If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute.

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance. Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.

The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal surface, such as a table or desk. Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It’s hard to read a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understand of the text. You need something to guide your eyes while reading. Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger. That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow. Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide. This will increase you speed.

The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Set time intervals（时间间隔）. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you’re reading.
