20.The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (彌勒大佛) in sitting posture.The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province,facing Min River,Qingyi River and Dadu River.In December,1996,the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage.
The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty,and finished in the year 803.The Buddha is 71 meters high.The 8-meter-long instep (腳背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is la rge enough to be a basketball playground.
A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever.At that time,wild waters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit.So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the river,thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control.After 20 years'begging from door to door,he finally collected enough money for the plan.When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money,Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha.After he dug out his eyeballs,these officials ran away scared.The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away,and two of his disciples (門徒) continued the work.After a total of 90 years'hard work,the project was finally completed.
Having such a long history,the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain.The Chinese government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instructions of experts from UNESCO.

新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結構(即先說結果,再說重要事實,最后說次要內(nèi)容),但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會有插敘、補敘等敘述方法,這就要求我們在閱讀時特別關注.必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點,并且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質(zhì).
