12.Most heroes are not super.They don't appear in comic books,on television,or in movies.They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place.Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle,Washington.He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago,he was looking for a bike for his wife.He found one on Craigslist,a website where people list things they want to sell.As he often does,he also looked at Bike Index,a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they're taken.The bike,which he was considering purchasing,clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed(聲稱) to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him- supposedly to complete the sale.When the two men met,Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two choices.You can wait until a police officer gets here,or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success,Bike Batman developed a safer routine.When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist,he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index.Once he has confirmed it with the owner,he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action.In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes,the thieves have been caught.In one case,Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized belongings that suspects(嫌疑犯)had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood".Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit.The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him,but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's fame as a friendly city.

14.In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.The fattened(壓平的)wheat formed a circle about six meters across.Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.The five circles were in a formation like five dots.During the following years,farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often. The circles are called"crop circles"because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or com.The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but never broken;it continues to grow,and farmers can later harvest it.Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning,so the circles probably form at night.They appear only in the months from May to September. At first,people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a joke,or farmers were making them to attract jye.aiurists.To prove that the circles were a hoax,people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmer had found.They couldn't do it.They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks(痕跡),and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circle to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them. Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.There is one problem with all these scientific explanations:crop circles often appear in formations,like the five-dot formation.It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
