    What is the best title for the passage? A. Greedy customers B. Cash machine gives double money C. Who is the owner of the cash machine D. How to get more money from ATM B More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments. Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers. Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt-water lake . Located in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point--Cormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called `Bird Islands’. Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away . These have become a world famous symbol of the lake. To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997. Meanwhile , the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones. Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake , improving local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area, to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ nest-building, egg-laying and breeding. As a result , more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Scores of people queued up to use a cash machine after it started giving out double money requested.

    The cash machine, outside a Sainsbury’s store in Barham Road, Hull, attracted a big crowd hoping to take advantage of the fault, on Tuesday night. Police officers were eventually sent to guard the machine and prevent more money from being taken out. The fault is thought to have affected cash machines at supermarkets across the city. It is not yet known whether the customers will have to repay the cash or how much money was taken out.

    A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said, “Officers were sent out and an attempt was made to contact the owners of the machine and officers remained at the scene to prevent more people from taking more money out. ” The spokeswoman said those who benefited from the fault could be traced and face theft charges, but investigations would only take place if the operator made an complaint.

    The cash machine is owned by a company called Payzone, a spokesman later confirmed. He said the fault was due to the machine being filled with the wrong denomination（面值）of notes. An investigation was under way into the incident and the machine had been taken out of service, he added.

    The Payzone spokesman said, “The cash in Transit Company which is contracted to service this ATM has filled it up with the wrong denomination of notes, which means it is paying out double. ” He could not say how much money had been taken out of the machine, or whether it would have to be paid back. It was understood that a number of cash machines owned by other companies had also been affected by this problem in Hull, he added.
