【限时任务发布，请宿主在12h内完成附件的练习题，并保证正答率高于60%。】
岑越崎一脸黑线。好哥们吴青请他一起去看新上映的电影，他才出校园。
喂，你们任务发布可以不要这么任性吗？他敲了敲屏幕，试图和系统打价还价。
12h虽然不短，但他来回一趟就要四五个小时，晚上还要和回来导师商讨毕业论文，他对自己能自由支配的时间深感失望。
学习诚可贵，休息价更高，
若为娱乐故，两者皆可抛。
我不休息了吗？能不能融通一下。岑越崎蹙眉，略微不满地问道。
系统沉默片刻，屏幕微微闪烁。
【宿主可以使用积分延时，1h1000点积分】
上次任务结算，岑越崎刚获得了五千积分。他微微搜索一会，随即妥协。
“行，那帮我加2个小时。”
……
待岑越崎一切就绪已是深夜11点，本该是休息的时间，然而岑越崎仍坐在书桌前，一副苦大仇深的表情。
他倒要看看价值两千块的任务难度如何。
The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns Itself
A)
In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark a large white oak that is almost universally（普遍的） stated to own itself.
Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?
B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored（努力） to protect it from any danger.
As to why he loved it so, the earliest （最早的）documented（具有证明文件的） account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890.
It states, "Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human.
Its luxuriant （繁茂的）leaves and sturdy limbs （粗壮的枝干）had often protected him from the heavy rains, and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.
He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe （成熟）old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent （宏伟的）proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it."
C)
Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed （契约）ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself.
The deed read, "W. H.Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire（强烈愿望） to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land withi- n eight feet of it on all sides." 本章未完，请点击下一页继续阅读！ 第1页/共3页
