JAKARTA, Sept．17 -- The discovery of four new species of spider in Kalimantan was announced recently, adding to Indonesia's already rich catalog of fauna（動(dòng)物群）, local media reported on Friday．

The findings, by Cahyo Rahmadi, a zoology researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences （LIPI）, and two colleagues, Mark S．Harvey, from the Western Australian Museum, and Jun-ichi Kojima, from Japan's Ibaraki University, were published in Zootaxa, a taxonomy（分類學(xué)） journal．

The four new species of whip spiders, or tailless whip scorpions, known here as kala cemeti, were found in the Sangkulirang caves in East Kalimantan and around Mount Muller in Central Kalimantan．One of the species was named Sarax yayukae, in honor of Yayuk R．Suhardjono, an Indonesian scientist specializing in cave biology who helped the researchers during their work．

Sarax sangkulirangensis was found to be the most widespread of the new species, existing in three regions -- Talabar, Lake Tebo and Pengadan．

Sarax mardua, which was found in Mardua Cave in Pengadan, has a pale-colored body and eyes that are smaller than those of Sarax sangkulirangensis．

The last of the new species, Sarax cavernicola, got its name because it is found only in caves．

It is considered the most unique of the new species because the spine（脊椎） composition on its pincers are all the same length, while other whip spiders have gradually longer spines．

Cahyo warned on Thursday that three of the species endemic（地方性的） to the limestone regions of Sangkulirang were threatened by human activity, including mining and land redevelopment．

1．What is the main idea of the passage?

      A．The findings were published in a taxonomy journal．

      B．Four new spider species were found in Indonesia's Kalimantan．

      C．The four new spider species were locally known as kala cemeti．

      D．Three of the new spider species were endangered．

2．According to the passage, Sarax sangkulirangensis _______________．

      A．got its name in honour of Yayuk R．Suhardjono．

      B．a(chǎn)chieved its popularity in Talabar, Lake Tebo and Pengadan．

      C．has bigger eyes than Sarax mardua．

      D．was given its name because it was born only in caves．

3．It can be inferred from the passage that _______________________．

      A．A wide variety of animals has already existed in Indonesia．

      B．Yayuk R．Suhardjono is majoring in cave zoology．

      C．The limestone regions of cavernicola are the home of three of the species．

      D．Much land is being redeveloped to protect new spider species．

　　In Jakarta, if your golf ball goes in the water, it bounces back.

　　It’s not a miracle. You see, here in Jakarta, there are ball boys who are always ready to return any golf ball that happens to go lost.

　　To ensure its magical re-appearance, all you have to do is discuss for the payment of a small fee (usually about US 50$).

　　Some say there’s something magical about Jakarta’s nine beautiful golf courses too, with their thick, tropical (熱帶的)scenery, accompanied by cloudless blue skies.

　　One of them, the grand Jagorawi course, is rated among the world’s top 100. In one respect though, they don’t compare with those of the rest of the world.

　　After all, where else does a game cost only US $14.00, or a caddie(球童)set you back just US $ 5.00? Indeed, where else can you hit your ball into the water, in the sure knowledge that all is not lost?

　　For directions on the rest way to find your nearest Jakarta golf course, just see your travel agent, or call Garuda Indonesia, Hong Kong on 5-229071. For booking tickets or rooms, call 5-8400000. The most enjoyable route, as either will tell you, is on a Garuda Indonesia flight.

"Super Dan", as top-seeded Lin Dan of China is better known in the badminton（羽毛球） world, had his Olympic dream come true after claiming the men's singles gold by beating Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia on August 17 in the Beijing Olympics.

His father, Lin Jianbin, said "Super Dan"has waited for four years to get this championship and he felt very proud of his son, as well as his prospective daughter-in-law Xie Xingfang, who is also a badminton player and won silver in women's singles at the Beijing Games.

An SMS: The beginning of a love story

Lin was born in Shanghang County, Longyan in Fujian Province. He first met Xie Xingfang when he was 14-years-old. 16-year-old Xie was attending a national youth team badminton training camp in Jinjiang, Fujian and Lin was also there.

Tall and beautiful, Xie became the Snow White in the heart of Lin Dan, and he tried to please her and get chances to chat with her after the training sessions. He did not go beyond that.

Before the Spring Festival in 2004, Lin finally mustered（召集，聚集） the courage and sent Xie Xingfang a text message - I LOVE YOU. In fact, Xie Xingfang had already realized Lin Dan was fond of her. And covertly（秘密地） , she began to pay attention to Lin's movement and performance on the court. "He is very interesting, got a lot of ideas, and is a lovely boy."

Two Kisses

In May 2004 at the Thomas Cup in Jakarta, their love relationship was first known to the public. Xie sat with her teammates and watched the men's team playing. When Lin Dan won the match, he rushed to the bench and kissed Xie, a move that Xie did not expect Lin to do in public. A photographer captured this moment.

At the All England Open in 2007, Lin kissed her again in public, making Xie feel like the happiest woman in the world.

After Lin won his third title at the Open, he did not stay to watch Xie play. Xie defeated her opponent and won the championship. When she was called to accept the trophy（獎(jiǎng)品，戰(zhàn)利品） , Lin suddenly emerged at the central venue, holding red roses and gave her the flowers, and a passionate kiss.

Nine Roses

Earlier, on February 14, 2006, Lin and Xie were with the national badminton teams at a training camp in Jinjiang. The teams had their rules – not going out of the training camp. Xie thought she would spend the Valentine's Day without flowers.

But Lin still managed to give her a surprise – giving her a Dior wallet as a Valentine's gift and nine roses. With the teams' rule in place, Lin asked his local friend to buy the roses and gave her a pleasant Valentines surprise.

A 200-square-meter apartment

Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang's love has been through four years of tests, and Xie's father also said that they should consider marriage after the Olympics.

In fact, Lin Dan has already prepared for this. He has bought a 200-square-meter apartment in downtown Beijing, with 4 rooms and 2 living rooms. Paying about 20,000 yuan per square meter for the apartment, it is reported the apartment is now valued at 8 million yuan.

"After the Olympics, we really want to live our own lives, go on vacation, go to school, get married, I am really looking forward to it," Xie said happily.

With two kitchens, one Chinese and one Western style, Xie said she wanted to be the person preparing soup at home and enjoy family life.

1.How old was Lin Dan when he first met Xie Xingfang?

A．14

B．16

C．18

D．20

2.What does Xie Xingfang specialize in?

A．tennis

B．badminton

C．basketball

D．swimming

3.What did Lin Dan give Xie Xingfang as a gift for the Valentinge’s Day in 2006?

B．A Dior wallet

C．An LV handbag
