A
There are many special hotels around the world. In Greenland, there is a hotel made out of ice. In Turkey, there is a cave hotel. And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.
Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. But over time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.
In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt; the walls, the roof, the tables, the chairs and the beds. The sun heats the wails and roof during the day. So the rooms stay warm at night, though it’s cold outside in the desert. The hotel has twelve rooms. A single room costs $40 a night, and a double room $60.
A sign on the hotel’s wall tells guests, \舔) the walls.\46. Where did the salt for the hotel come from? A. A cave. B. The lake. C. The salt desert. D. A salt field. 47. What did Juan Quesada do in the early 1990s?

Why don’t birds get lost on their long seasonal flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to see the light.
a warbler
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night?
Tests with man-made night sky with shining stars overhead have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow those stars in their long-distance flights.
One such bird—a warbler—had spent its lifetime in cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars as guidance. When the bird’s cage was placed under a man-made star-filled sky during their travelling, the bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by its outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of its flight.
Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are also their most important means of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? The clever birds can find their way by such land-marks as mountain areas, coast lines, and river courses. But when
