Dozens of dolphins swam out of the polluted waters of Haifa Harbor on Tuesday.This was the first time that dolphins had visited this crowded Mediterranean port，and researchers were surprised and delighted by the unexpected event.

Between 40 and 50 of the dolphins appeared in the busy port on Tuesday morning，obviously drawn by the fish­rich waters of Haifa Harbor.

However，the bay is also full of harmful chemicals.Aviad Sheinin，professor of Haifa University’s Maritime Studies Department，said he didn’t think the dolphins were harmed by the pollution，but he hoped that they would swim back to the sea soon. “It seems that they are quite relaxed. They don’t seem to be stressed,” he said.

Haifa Harbor is lined by chemical companies that have been pouring poisonous waste into the water for decades.While pollution levels have dropped in recent years，the water is still considered a health hazard．

“There are lots of fish in Haifa Harbor. Unfortunately we couldn’t tell the dolphins that the fish are not healthy；and I don’t know what the result will be,” he told Israel Army Radio.

Hundreds of Haifa residents gathered around Haifa Harbor to see the interesting sight，and researchers said this provided a rare chance to film and study the rough­toothed dolphins. In addition to the dozens of dolphins which swam into the port on Tuesday，a similar number stayed outside the breakwater(防波堤)．Later Tuesday the dolphins left the port but remained near the entrance and Israel’s coast guard was patrolling(巡邏) the area to try to make sure the dolphins didn’t re­enter the poisonous waters.

Relatively little is known about rough­toothed dolphins，which are usually found in deep and warm tropical waters.

Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to connect Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.

    The shortest proposed route(路線) would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.

    A recent conference in Xiamen, Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored (共同贊助) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.

    Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.

    There is direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air and sea at the moment.

    Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later, although there is a lack of government funding(資金). There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits（海峽）.

    A professor of Tsinghua university said, "A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction."

    For example, he said, the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.

    The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route, which would pass Jinmen and Penghu.

    The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that travelling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.

    The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy. The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020.

56. Which is the longest tunnel in the world at present?

  A. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.  B. The English Channel Tunnel. 

  C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.          D. The passage doesn't mention it.

57. Which of the following is NOT true?

  A. Universities both at home and abroad have sponsored (贊助) the plan.

  B. If the project is completed, the world's longest tunnel will appear.

  C. You can reach Taiwan from the mainland directly at present.

  D. The starting point of the proposed tunnel is in Fujian.

58. The example of English Channel Tunnel shows _______.

  A. it's not easy to complete a huge project

  B. there are many problems to be solved before doing something

  C. discussions among countries usually take a lot of time

  D. the preparation takes longer time than the construction

59. What is the major difficulty in carrying out the plan?

  A. Improving the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.

B. The lack of money for the project from the government. 

C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.

  D. The technical problems with the tunnel.
