He had beaten the second runner by 15 minutes. Lorz looked happy and fresh, and smiled for the photographers. Just before they gave him the gold medal, the race officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned (禁止) from races for a year. Then an official told the truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!1908 Olympics, London, EnglandThe Italian Dorando Pietri was one of the unluckiest marathon runners. When he arrived in the stadium, he was very tired. The people were cheering, but Pietri couldn't continue. He fell down and got up again four times.

When the castle was built, Versailles was a small village. Today, however, it is a famous area in Paris. The castle was built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis XIII in the 1620s. Years later, he made it bigger. Later, Louis XIV also made it larger, making it one of the largest palaces of the world. Château de ChambordThe Château de Chambord is one of the largest castles around the world. It sits in the Loire Valley. Being at the heart of Europe's largest enclosed wooded park, Chambord, it was built for King Francis I to serve as a hunting lodge. It is one of the world's most well-known castles in the world because of its French Renaissance (文艺复兴) building.Château de ChenonceauAs one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, the castle was built during the 11th century on the River Cher. It was passed through many hands. The castle was not destroyed during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles.Château de ChantillyThis historic castle sits in the town of Chantilly, France. This beautiful castle is made up of two buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s.

While there, I met a man named Alvimar Valadares. He walks more than 12 miles a day without wearing shoes, looking for sea turtles on the beaches and picking up plastic.There are few sea turtles left alive now in Brazil and around the world. Valadares, who prefers to be called “Capixaba,” wants to help save them. A local hotel sponsors (赞助) his work.Several years ago, the hotel manager noticed a group of people watching in respectful silence as Capixaba saved three baby sea turtles. The hotel manager realized that these turtles were great ambassadors (大使). They draw people's attention and make them want to learn about and protect the local environment. Capixaba has worked in the hotel's Tartaruga Program for the past 15 years. (Tartaruga means turtle in Portuguese.)In addition to watching and checking sea turtles, Capixaba meets with local schoolchildren and fishermen to teach them how to protect the turtles and the environment. The more that people know, Capixaba said, the more they can help protect the turtles and the environment. For example, since sea turtle hatchlings (幼崽) follow the reflection (反射) of the water to get to the ocean, it's important for local houses and hotels to keep their lights dim (暗淡的) at night. That way, the hatchlings will know which way to go. “I really like to work with and teach kids,” Capixaba said. “They're the ones who are going to change this and help the turtles.” Then he let me hold one of the turtle eggs!29.

To show when sea turtle hatchlings get to the ocean.D. To show why it is important to help people learn the knowledge of sea turtles. DOn December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Köepcke got on a plane with her mother in Lima, Peru, to fly to another city to meet her father. Over the Amazon jungle (丛林), the rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind. And then lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres, and it crashed (坠毁).

But she was alive!Juliane's father was a biologist (生物学家) and when she was small, he taught her how to survive in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I'll find people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was very hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There was fruit on some trees but she didn't eat it she knew it was too dangerous. Juliane walked for ten days. Ten days after the crash, she found a small house by the river. There were some woodcutters in the house. They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day, they carried her down the river, and a plane took her safely back to the city of Pucallpa.Juliane was the only person who survived the plane crash.
