Most of the thousands of tourists who visit Pompeii every year leave with nothing more than amazing memories. But there are some who take away a little extra – the relics themselves.
However, it seems that those visitors who have slipped a piece of the world’s most important archaeological(考古的) site into their pockets have come to regret their actions.
Tourists who took relics from the ruined Roman city have been returning them to the site, saying they are cursed (诅咒).
One man wrote from Latin America saying that he and his entire family had experienced “trauma after trauma” after he took a piece of stone from Pompeii.
Massimo Osanna, a senior official at Pompeii, said he had received up to a hundred packages from across the world in recent years containing items from the site, often accompanied by letters explaining the relics had brought them bad luck.
The “curse of Pompeii” is an old story that says the eruption(火山爆发) of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which buried Pompeii, was punishment from the gods after troops ruined the buildings where people showed respect to the gods.
“At a certain point, people started believing in this story again,” said Mr. Osanna. “Even proper thieves have returned things to us.”
In one case, five packages were sent to Pompeii containing stolen items, including a statue that had disappeared in 1987. The accompanying letter was sent from Spain and the writer explained the statue had brought a “curse on his entire family”.
However, some are affected by a strong feeling of dishonor in their heart, rather than an ancient curse. Mr. Osanna said that an English woman had recently returned around 10 mosaic tiles (镶嵌地砖) that her parents had taken while on holiday during the Seventies.
“When her mother died, she received these little pieces. But in the letter she described them as ‘uncomfortable’ and said she wanted to give them back,” he said.
Mr. Osanna is considering setting up an exhibition of all the letters he has received, calling it “What I brought back from Pompeii”.
1.Why did some visitors who took relics away regret?
A.Because there was nothing but amazing memories.
B.Because they took away the relics themselves.
C.Because they thought the stolen relics brought them bad luck.
D.Because they received letters from a senior official at Pompeii.
2.The underlined word “trauma” probably means “________”.
A.an unpleasant and upsetting experience
B.an old object or custom that reminds people of the past
C.a building where people respect gods
D.the things that a person or animal does
3.According to the old story, the gods were angry because________.
A.some people cursed them
B.the city of Pompeii was buried
C.some soldiers didn’t show them enough respect
D.too many buildings for people were ruined
4.Before returning the mosaic tiles, the English woman must have felt _______.
A.ashamed B.scared
C.proud D.unconcerned

Since the start of last spring,the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms,of which,a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region,one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources,China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia.The other three major sources are in Africa,North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 sq.km annually in China,and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 sq.km a year.
The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 sq.km and 3,436 sq.km late last century,respectively.
Currently,the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million sq.km,accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation’s land,and its sandy land totals 1.74 million sq.km,accounting for 18.1 percent of the country’s total.
