38、eir beverages at temperatures close to 70.The researchers found that South Americans not only drink their very hot beverages, they also drink them through a metal straw.

72、成一个完整的故事。Acres of diamondsOne of the most interesting Americans who lived in the 19th century was a man by the name of Russell Herman Conwell. He was born in 1843 and lived until 1925. He was a lawyer for about fifteen years until he became a clergyman (牧师). The following is a true story shared by D

73、r_Conwell with its ageless (永恒的) moral.The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa. He became extremely crazy_about looking for diamonds when a visitor showed him a diamond he discovered somewhere. At that time, diamonds were already discovered in abundance on the African continent. This farmer

74、 got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars worth of diamonds that he sold his_farm in_search_of diamonds in other places. He wandered all over the continent, as the years passed by, constantly searching for diamonds and wealth, which he never found. Eventually he went completely broke and

75、 threw himself into a river and drowned.Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm picked_up an unusuallooking rock about the size of an egg and put it on his fireplace as a sort of curiosity.

It was really a pity that he failed to realize there were diamonds in his own land. He had traveled far away in_

78、search_of diamonds, but in vain. If he had dug deep in the field, the story would have a different ending.Paragraph 2：Dr Conwell told this story many times and attracted enormous audiences. This story does not get old. It will be true forever. Actually each of us is right in the middle of our own “Acres of Diamonds”. If we are willing to explore the ground we are standing on instead of traveling far to look for diamonds, we are sure to find treasure and wealth that we long to own. Opportunity does not just come along. It is there all the time. What we need to do is just discover it.
