There are some places in nature that just about everyone agrees are amazing. These places are truly natural wonders, like no other places on Earth. Various people and organizations have made lots of different lists over the years ranking these places of natural wonders. 56 Thus, a list of the top seven natural wonders as recognizer by most organizations can be created.
Two of the most commonly listed natural wonders are found at or below sea level. 57 The reef is actually a collection of about 2,800 reefs and more than 600 islands. One of the reasons that the Great Barrier Reef is a wonder is because it is the largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. Another of the world’s wonders at sea level is Brazil’s Harbor of Rio de Janerio. In addition to its natural beauty, this place is a wonder because it is the world’s largest bay based on the amount of water in it. It is also unique because of the surrounding mountains and rock formations.
Two more of the world’s wonders are related ria Falls, which is made by the Zambezi River along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. 58 This is the world’s largest waterfall ranked by the amount of water flowing over it.
The next two wonders of the natural world are mountains. Paricutin is a volcano in Mexico that is nearly 3,000 meters high. The reason that this volcano has been voted a natural wonder is because people actually watched its birth and growth in the 1940s! The volcano’s last eruption was in 1952. Then, of course, the world’s tallest mountain, Mt.Qomolangma, should of course also be added to the list of natural wonders. 59
That leaves one more natural wonder to add to the list. This last wonder is quite different than the others. Unlike the other six natural wonders, this one cannot be seen all the time as it comes and goes from day to day. The seventh natural wonder that most people agree on is the Aurora Borealis, which a person has a good chance of seeing in the sky at the North Pole. 60
A. One of these wonders is the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.
B. It is also known as the Northern Lights.
C. Located between China and Nepal, this mountain reaches to a height of more than 8,800meters above sea level.
D. As this river flows over a cliff, it becomes a waterfall that is 1.7 kilometers wide and 108 meters high.
E. However, by looking at the various lists that certain organizations have made over the year, a handful of places come up time and time again.
F. The Great Barrier Reef ranks among the most widely recognized natural wonders of the world.

Today we tell about the expression“down to earth”.It means 61 open and honest.Down to earth people could be important 62 of society.But they don't consider themselves to be better than others.They don’t let their importance“go to their 63 ”.Someone who lets something “go to his head” feels he is better than others.He has a“big head”.
A person who is filled 64 his own importance and prides is said to have“ his nose in the air”.Often the person who has a nose in the air has no 65 to feel better than others.He surely is the 66 of someone who is down to earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some 67 to down to earth.The expression is“both feet on the ground”.That means a person with good 68 of reality(现实).She may have dreams.But she doesn’t allow them to stop her understanding of what is real.
The opposite kind of person is the one who has his“head in the clouds.”That is a kind of person whose mind isn’t on what is happening
in real 69 .We can also call such a Person a daydreamer.
When we have both our feet firmly on the ground,and when we are down to earth we do not have our noses in the air.We act 70 and openly to others.Our lives are like the ground below us—so1id and strong.
