advertising the dogs. At that time, a cute boy appeared and said, “Sir, I want to buy one

of your dogs.”

Have you ever heard of the Eternal Flame Falls（永恒火焰瀑布）？It’s one of the most special waterfalls on our planet.

The waterfall is in a park in western New York, America. As we come close to it, we’ll smell something like bad eggs. That’s the smell of natural methane gas（沼气） produced by ancient rocks that are too hot. At the heart of the waterfall is a small flame.

The burning flame has been there for a long time. The locals believe it was created by elves（精灵）.According to them， we may come across one if we’re lucky enough.

Another popular idea about the flame is that it's alive because of the natural gas. It's widely believed that it was first set on fire a hundred years ago. Although the flame once went out, it was lit again right away.

However, Indiana University researchers think differently. The temperature of the flame is much higher than the boiling point of water, but their study shows that those rocks aren't hot enough to lead to such a result. This means something else keeps the flame alive. However, the researchers aren't able to discover the real reason behind it. A researcher further explains this special place has a different way to produce gas.

A.Because it has bad smell.

B.Because it has a long history.

C.Because it has the local stories.

D.Because it has the flame in it.

70.Why is the waterfall so special?

A.It burns things that get close.

B.It has been burning for long.

C. It was created by an animal.

D.It has never gone out.

71.What can we learn about the flame?

72. What's the main idea of the fifth paragraph?

A.Why the rocks are so hot.

B.What keeps the flame alive.

C.The result of research done by a university.

D.Some different opinions on the burning flame.
