Here is Booked.net’s selection of the strangest events worldwide·
Elephant polo(象球)
The title is self-explanatory, but elephant polo is more interesting than the traditional alternative played on horses.Elephants make the game slower,and, because of this the field is only three-quarters the length of a standard polo field.The elephants carry two people and are guided by mahouts(看象人).The player hits the ball and tells the mahout which way to go. The Kings Cup Elephant Polo Tournament is the sixth largest event in the Thai calendar.
Volcan de Lodo El Totumo

It is believed that the mud has a curing effect,purifying your skin.
La Tomatina

I went up to my mother's bedroom after her death and found a box full of papers. Inside was a letter. “Dearest Andrew,” it began, “there was never a right time to tell you.”
Along with the letter was my adoption paperwork—“Parents: unknown”—and two newspapers. The first described a newborn baby, wrapped in a pink blanket, discovered on a doorstep by a paperboy. The second was from a year later, reporting that the baby was still in a children’s home, yet to be adopted.
It was a shock. My childhood was happy; my adoptive father died when I was eight, but my mother made sure I couldn’t have had a more loving home. I didn’t do anything about trying to find out my birth parents for 15 years. However, there were so many questions. Why did my mother abandon me? Did she get into trouble? I didn’t feel angry with her for leaving me, but I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding my birth.
I started to research my history and went on local television news. Amazingly, a man called Ronnie got in touch with the TV station, saying I reminded him of his father, Angus. We met up and I was surprised to see a man 20 years my senior. We arranged a DNA test. The results were positive—Ronnie was my half-brother.
Ronnie told me that my father would have been 60 when I was born. He died before I started my search. My father was having an affair with a young woman during the year of my birth, but she is now married with her own family and I should respect her privacy. I would like my questions answered, but not at the expense of her happiness. “Abandoned” is such a sensitive word, but I don’t feel any sadness or rejection, because I don’t know the circumstances of my birth. Instead, I feel unique.
1.From the passage we can know that Andrew .
A. was wrapped in a blanket when found
B. was brought up in a children’s home
C. served as a paperboy when his mother died
D. was abandoned by his birth parents a year after birth
2.What contributed to Andrew’s looking for his birth parents?
A. Anger. B. Curiosity.
C. Bitter childhood. D. Present poor life.
3.What can we know about Andrew and Ronnie from the passage?
A. Neither has seen Angus. B. Neither is the son of Angus.
C. Both have the same father. D. Both are at the same age.
4.Why did the author give up searching for his birth mother?
A. He hated her because she abandoned him on a doorstep.
B. He didn’t have evidence due to his father’s death.
C. He felt it lucky enough to find his birth father.
D. He didn’t want to put her into trouble.
5.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards his adoptive mother?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Forgiving.
C. Grateful. D. Concerned.

Did you know that sixty per cent of your body weight is water? However,
a loss of only two per cent of this water throughdehydration(脱水) during exercise can significantly affect your performance. The more you sweat, the more your exerciseperformance declines, unless you drink enough to replace your lossof fluids.
When you lose too much water, you can overheat quite easily,especially in a warm environment.But this is not the only problemyou may face. Dehydration leads to your heart pumping muchfaster, which means exercise becomes more difficult and requiresmore effort. Despite these problems, however, many of us simplydo not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set outon a run.
So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much waterwithout simply drinking more toreplace it? Well, it?s easier thanyou think. When we are at rest, we quickly become aware that weare thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When weexercise, on the other hand, our thirstmechanism(结构) does notwork as effectively, so we don?t notice early enough that we areactually thirsty. In fact, we only start to feel thirsty when we havealready lost around two per cent of our body weight.
Another problem is that, the more dehydrated we becomeduring exercise, the more difficult it is to prevent furtherdehydration—because our stomachs become intolerant to fluidsand we do not absorb water properly, just when we need it most.
The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage yourintakeproperly
—regular small amounts are preferable, and someshould be drunk before the period of exercise begins. You alsoneed to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing. For example, for one hour of exercise, such as taking part in a 10 km run, you need to drink about two extra litres of water. For longer periods of exercise, sports drinks are recommended.
1.We know from the text that during exercise, dehydration _____.
A. can be easily avoided
B. will lead to poor performance
C. can cause many health problems
D. will be controlled whenever we drink again
2.Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise?
A. Their thirst mechanism stops working. B. Their focus is on the exercise.
C. Their thirst response is slow. D. Their stomachs are full.
3.When exercising, you are advised to _____.
A. have regular breaks B. drink water accordingly
C. drink sports water in advance D. have at least two litres of water
