The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on medieval structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne’s reign. A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape --- a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood shingle siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical. If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how drastically different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house. Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public’s taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Anne houses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago. Why does the author use the word curious in describing the name of an American style？A.The style was invented before Queen Anne’s reign.
B.The name was accidentally misspelled.
C.The style was more popular in Victorian England.
D.The name did not originate in American.

Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it's impossible for them to solve this problem.
The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. "It's extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.
Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $ 9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.
District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts in its 38 schools.
At Coffman's request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district's finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $ 212 million bond issue for schools.
In Frederick, students' parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.
Some $ 36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district's $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.
"We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected."
At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). "Rumors about what's happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead."

During the morning of 2 August 1999 the supply vessel Putford Worker was working cargo at installations in the North Sea. She had completed operations at one installation without incident．
At 1110 she approached the second installation and carried out precautionary engine and steering tests．These were satisfactory，and at 1115 the vessel was in position to work cargo．The master was on the bridge at the joystick control；the weather was fine and the sea calm． The first lift was a 10&39; x 8&39; container．The deck crew attached the hook of the installation&39;s crane to the container，and moved forward to a safe position．The master then noticed that the vessel was moving forward out of position and moved the joystick to counteract the ahead movement．He then saw that the port propeller was indicating full ahead pitch，so changed from joystick to manual pitch controls and promptly put them to full astern．
This did not prevent the vessel moving ahead so far that the attached container be dragged over the stern and into the sea. Placing the manual pitch controls to zero then caused both propellers to return to neutral．Control of the vessel was regained，and the problem did not immediately re-occur．
Later tests and inspections by specialist control engineers and the propeller manufacturers showed no fault with the control systems or the port propeller．However，some wear was found in the feedback linkages on the control system of the starboard propeller．This was rectified，and manoeuvring tests completed satisfactorily．
