In 1866,sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later, (76) the bottle was found on an Australia island. It's believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle,in terms of the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found.Before this discovery,Guinness （吉尼斯）World Records said that the oldest was 108 years old，found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not. Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle."I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,”Illman says, according to an account on her husband's website.(77)The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman's son's girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string. Too damp to open initially,according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German.“The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,"said Illman's husband Kym."It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long." The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum,which set out to study the document. "Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them,so we contacted colleagues in Germany for help to find more information,"Ross Anderson,who is in charge of works of art in the museum,said in a statement. But this message is no SOS or love letter.

Toronto's third City Hall,now known as Old City Hall, was designed by Edward James Lennox and declared open on Sept.18,1899. Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be the largest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time. Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to build it. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings（雕刻）above the Queen Street entrance were actually caricatures （漫画）of councilors at the time. Lennox even included himself in the caricatures， on the west side of the central arch（拱门），and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portions of the building. The third City Hall was originally used as councilors' offices and legal offices, but it is used only as a courthouse today. When the fourth City Hall(the one we know today)was declared open in 1965,Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down.It was saved by a group of people called the“Friends of Old City Hall.” The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather than with the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until the building opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989. (76)The entire structure cost more than $2.5million to build at the time.This is equal to $53 million today.

Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.
With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.
Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s,killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.
But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.

Green sea turtles（海龟）are the world's largest species of hard-shelled sea turtle.While most individuals weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms,some can be(56) heavy as 204 kilograms. These turtles are found nesting（筑巢）along the coastline of more than 80 countries，with the largest nesting populations (57)in Costa Rica and Australia. Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater, (58) they can rest for up to five hours at a time before (59 )up for air. When active,they typically stay underwater for a few minutes and swim up to the surface to(60)air for a few seconds.Green sea turtles also bathe in the sun (61) land. Unlike most other sea turtles,adult green sea turtles eat primarily plant-based foods(62) of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods (63)the sea turtle's fat its green color. Similar to other sea turtles,green sea turtles travel long distances(64)their feeding grounds and their nesting sites,with recorded distances(65)than 2,600 kilometers.They have strong flippers（鳍形肢）that help them(66)in the water. Female green sea turtles leave the water in (67)to lay eggs on the beach and will choose the same nesting (68)as where they are born.A female will dig (69)a nest with her flippers and lay about 115 eggs.Then she'll cover the eggs (70)sand and return to the sea. After about two months，the babies will use a special "egg tooth"to break their shells and hatch（孵化）from their eggs. The first few years of a green sea turtle's life are spent(71 )at sea,where they feed on tiny animals and plants(72)live in the surface layer of the sea. As they grow older, the turtles move to (73)waters along the coast,where they find sea grass to eat. Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily from humans,including injuries from passing boats,being(74)in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at(75)of being hunted by other animals as they move from their nests out to the sea.
