My father had just come back from his short-term business visit to England when I came in, rather late, to dinner. I could tell that my parents had been talking about something in that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"

"You bet." I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."

1.The writer's father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.

A. it was bought at a low price　　 B. it frequently broke down

C. it was a second-hand car　　 D. it made him feel uneasy

2.The writer's father would enjoy being different unless ________.

A. there was no danger of showing off　　 B. it drew much attention to him

C. it was understood as a joke　　 D. it didn't bring him in arguments

3.The writer felt ________ about the idea of going to Eton.

A. unhappy　　 B. unbelievable

C. delighted.　　 D. complicated

4.Based on the passage we know that ________.

A. it is not easy for children to get admitted by Eton

B. children can go to Eton if they would like to

C. children who can go to Eton are very famous

D. children can’t decide whether they will go to Eton

When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.

Underwater archaeology __the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸）,underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the  5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.

Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.

1.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?

A. To provide background information of the topic

B. To attract readers' attention to the topic

C. To use an example to support the topic

D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic

2.The aim of underwater archaeology is to    .

A. exploit water bodies

B. search for underwater life

C. study underwater artifacts

D. examine underwater environment

3.Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.

A.sea hunters have better diving equipment　

B. their knowledge of world history is limited　

C. dredging machines cause damage to the ports　

D. sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce a young branch of learning.　

B. To discuss the scientists' problems.　

C. To explain people's way of life in the past.　

D. To describe the sunken ships.
