It has been ten years since Diana，Princess of Wales，was killed in a car crash with Dodi Al Fayed in Paris，yet she remains an iconic(圖標)figure in the UK，whose image continues to appear on magazine covers and newspaper headlines．
Diana’s death triggered an outpouring of national grief and a decade of conspiracy(陰謀) theories, linking her death to the British security forces and even the royal family．
And she remains a media phenomenon with thousands of articles and stories appearing about her in the British press each year．
Interest in the princess is rising again as her sons，Princes William and Harry，prepare to mark the tenth anniversary of her death with a memorial service at Guard’s Chapel(小禮堂)in London’s Wellington Barracks on Friday．
The princes are to give readings at the service， which will be attended by 500 guests，including more than 30 royals headed by the Queen，and celebrities such as Sir Elton John and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown．

As well as the memorial service，Diana is being remembered with a photographic exhibition documenting her 1ife at the National Portrait Gallery in London．
Even ten years on it seems Britain is unwilling to let go of “the people’s princess”，and that her enduring(不朽的) legacy(影響)is to maintain the fascination(魅力) of the British people，and indeed the world．

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or people as it leads them to the nest. When they
finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
【小題1】Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?
| A．It's small in size. |
| B．It's hidden in trees. |
| C．It's covered with wax. |
| D．It's hard to recognize. |
| A．A bee. | B．A bird. |
| C．A honey seeker. | D．A beekeeper. |
