The young man opened it for him and asked him in.“Did you hear me strike the ceiling last night, young man?” asked Mr. Anders. “It doesn

Lets start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally, is the first beauty. T
23、here are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? They are volcanoes, of course. These volcan
24、oes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the worlds most active volcano. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the talles
25、t) mountain in the world.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldnt be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruit and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaiis biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growi
26、ng in Hawaii for a thousand years and now Hawaii produces over one million tons of sugar a year. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other place in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii
27、is the people who live there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who came to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. The Hawaiians never rush,
28、 and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _.A. one islandB. twenty islands.C. sixty-four islands.D. hundreds of islands
