　　WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ---- About 140 pilot whales that stranded(使...搁浅) themselves on a remote stretch of New Zealand beach have died, but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated, an official said Saturday.
　　The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales, which regularly become stranded there. The stranding of 198 whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out.
　　By late Saturday, 140 of the whales had died, said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason.
　　He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night’s high tide.
　　“We’ve had a really good crew of volunteers, and people have been wanting to come from all over the country,” Lamason said.
　　He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water. But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high, whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again.
　　Lamason said the scale(规模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers, both physically and mentally.
　　“It’s very sad, they’re very intelligent animals,” he said. “The common view is that it’s part of nature.”
　　The focus will now turn to the dead whales, and the enormous task of dealing with the remains, Lamason said, adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand, but that he’s not sure what the approach will be this time.
　　He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water, which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.
　　21. What is the exact number of whales stranded last Friday
　　A. 198     B.140.     C. 80.     D.60
　　22. Why did the volunteers have to wait until Saturday before they could refloat the whales
　　A. Because they were very busy on Friday.
　　B. Because the whales were too intelligent.
　　C. Because they had to wait for the sea water to rise.
　　D. Because the whales were buried deep in the sand.
　　23. Which of the following words can be used to describe Lamason’s attitude towards the
　　result of refloating the whales
　　A. Optimistic.    B. Doubtful.   C. Positive.     D. Careless.
　　24. How will the volunteers deal with the dead whales this time according to Lamason ?
　　A. They will bury them in the sand.
　　B. They do not have any exact idea yet.
　　C. They will throw them into the ocean.
　　D. They will feed them to other sea creatures.

　　Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.
　　Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.
　　“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, chect travel tips, and accessing websites.”
　　However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.
　　Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was ca
