【正文】 popular tourist site, Sagrada Familia attracts three million visitors every year for one good reason: It’ s a masterpiece unlike anything else in the world which is largely responsible for the city’s lively personality.

One of nature’s most magical illusions Once upon a time in the faraway land of the Faroe Islands, Lake Leitisvatn became known as the most striking of all the islands’ lakes. At more than 6km long, it is the biggest in the Faroe Islands. And as the star of a clever optical illusion, the lake appears as if it’ s resting hundreds of metres above the sea, with the ocean churning（劇烈翻騰） beneath its waters. In reality, Lake Leitisvatn is actually no more than about 30m above sea level. A steep cliff in front of the lake and a clever camera angle make the lake appear to be much higher than it really is. 21. From the first paragraph, we know Quora is a site where you can .

B A fathcrofthree, Steven Nome, has made history after donating two of his ans to plete strangers. Steven chose to have 30 percent of his liver removed so that he could sat the life of a young childfour years after donating one of his kidneys to another recipient. Steven was very taken by the idea. He spent a few months considering it and at last he made the decision when he was out for a walk on New Year’ s Day this year. At the time he was thinking about what he wanted to achieve this year. He knew it was his 40th birth y wanted to do something significant.

The majority of ans are donated to family, relatives or very close friends but here you don’ t I know who is going to get it. Steven underwent surgery at Leeds St James’ Hospital following several months of assessments ments including an ECG, MRI and ultrasound scans, blood testing and a psychological interview that confirmed he was in good health and was a suitable candidate. Steven thought it was a shortterm dismodity for longterm benefit— A couple of months of reduced mobility and a bit of disfort were a very small price to pay when you were aware you had saved a life. It got you through the darker moments. Dr Lisa Bumapp, one of Steven’s doctors said, “More than 100 donors volunteer each year to donate a kidney to someone they do not know.
