　　The hair is greyer, the waistlines larger than when they first faced off in September 1984.

　　But like two heavyweight boxers coming out of retirement, the mere prospect of Kasparovversus Karpov has chess fans enthralled.

　　Exactly a quarter of a century ago the 21-year-old Gary Kasparov fought the reigning worldchampion, Anatoli Karpov, to a standstill in an epic series which, after five months and 48games, was called off - without a clear winner.

　　The organisers said the contest had put the health of both players at risk. But in a rematch thefollowing year, the young pretender triumphed, heralding a new era in world chess.

　　Now aged 46, Gary Kasparov has prepared for this rematch by training with one of today'steenage prodigies, while the 58-year-old Mr Karpov has ‘sparred’ with a computer andgrandmasters, from a base on the Spanish coast.

　　The two giants of Soviet-era chess will turn back the clock in a series of 12 games played, thistime, under strict time limits. The host city, Valencia, claims to be the birthplace of the moderngame.

　　大學(xué)英語口語聽力：接觸外部世界

　　Background: 秘魯東南部叢林地區(qū)當(dāng)局說，他們將保護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)胤忾]的土著部落打擊那些侵犯他人土地的非法伐木者。上周巴西政府的衛(wèi)星照片顯示，一群來路不明佩帶弓箭的亞馬遜人出現(xiàn)在接近秘魯邊境的地區(qū)。

　　The extraordinary images of a startled Amazon tribe, their bodies painted red and black, firingarrows at an aircraft circulated the world last week.

　　The Brazilian government organised a flight packed with photographers to prove that suchgroups of people still live in isolation in the Amazon rainforest.

　　Although anthropologists weren't able to name the tribe it's believed that they had travelled ashort distance from neighbouring Peru.

　　Illegal loggers have been accused of driving the tribes into Brazilian territory.

　　Now authorities in Peru's Amazon state of Madre de Dios say they'll stop illegal loggers whotravel deep into the forest in search of tropical hardwoods and are often the first toencounter the tribes.

　　Apart from the possibility of violent confrontations, encounters with outsiders are often fatalbecause the isolated people lack the antibodies to protect themselves from a common cold orthe flu.

　　The Peruvian government has also sent a team to the jungle to determine whether or not thephotographed tribe had been displaced from Peru by loggers.

　　It's been reluctant to set aside new areas of land for uncontacted tribes. Some officials haveeven denied the existence of such tribes but there are signs of a changing attitude.

　　In the state oil leasing agency's latest auction of concessions earlier this year it pointedlyavoided areas set aside as indigenous reserves.

　　The impact of the latest sighting is forcing Peru to accept that some of mankind's last isolatedpeople live on its territory and it has a duty to protect them.

　　Sankt Peter-Ording is one of the most popular seaside resorts in Germany.

　　Even in deepest winter you'll find people braving the snow and the ice and the freezingtemperatures to experience the stunning beauty of the North Sea coast.

　　But it's not without its dangers and its dramas.

　　German police have revealed that last week a man got lost on the ice.

　　He'd been taking photographs of the glorious sunset but, as the dark had descended, he'd losthis bearings and got stranded.

　　In a desperate effort to attract assistance, the man had begun flashing a torch.

　　And he was spotted by a woman, 500 kilometres away in the Westerwald region, on the RiverRhine.

　　Luckily for him, at that moment she was at her computer, online and watching a live webcam ofSankt Peter-Ording, and in that little video box she noticed the figure in distress.

　　She alerted the local police and the marooned man was saved.

　　All thanks to an internet search and rescue.
