As China?s women?s gymnastics team enjoyed the glory of winning the country?s first team Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games，the young gymnasts took the opportunity to remind the world that they are old enough to compete．
Weeks before the Beijing Games，some international media raised questions about the ages of some of the members of China?s gymnastics team，particularly He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan．They said the girls might be younger than 16．the minimum age for the Olympics．But the Chinese Gymnastics Association quickly provided copies of the gymnasts?

His sudden death in 1957 when he was 53 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior．Even now, so many years after his death，his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world，and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world，His first，great New Look，with its long skirts was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s． 65．Which of the following designs is close to Dior?s?

Lions are opportunists．They prefer to eat without having to do too much work．When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on．If another animal has made a kill，they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves．A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding．Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down．
The lionesses，being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males．But the males don?t mind．After the kill they move in and take the rest share．
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak．We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills．Roughly, it?s about twenty daytime attempts for one kill．
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole，they wait patiently and can charge at any second．The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion，since these great animals

My brother-in-1aw opened the drawer of my sister?s cupboard and took out a package．He said。“This is a new silk slip（衬裙）．Jane bought it in New York nine years ago．She never wore it．She was saving it for a special occasion．I guess this is the occasion．”
It was an exquisite（精美的）handmade silk slip．The price tag on it was still attached． He took the slip from me and put it on the bed，with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician（殡仪员）．His hands fingered on the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me．“Don?t ever save anything for a special occasion．Every day you?re alive is a special occasion．??
