It has long been known the ancient Egyptian rulers, or pharaohs, were buried with great ceremony and lavish treasures that were to be used in the other world.
Unfortunately, until 1922 no remains of any of the pharaohs or their treasures had ever been found. In that year, however, an archaeologist named Howard Carter and his sponsor, Lord Carnavon, were at last successful. They found the tomb of King Tutankhamen, who was buried 3,200 years ago. King Tut’s tomb was the first fully preserved burial site to be uncovered in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. The two men found the tomb to contain wonderful treasures. Gold figures and magnificent furniture decorated with gold were found in the myriad of secret rooms and tunnels within the pyramid.
The only disappointment for Howard Carter came when he found that King Tut’s body was nothing but dust. Apparently a mistake had been made when the king’s remains were mummified (使成木乃伊). Carter did, however, find 143 pieces of jewelry within the mummy case, mostly made of gold and precious stones.
Actually, despite all the publicity about the remarkable finds in his tomb, Tutankhamen’s reign (统治时期) as pharaoh was short and relatively uneventful. He died when he was just 18 years old.
There is an interesting story that goes along with King Tut’s tomb. According to legend, a powerful curse was placed in it. This curse was to descend on anyone uncovering Tutankhamen’s burial place. Not very long after the discovery, Lord Carnavon, along with several of the workmen, died suddenly.

August has always been difficult for me. It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.
You might think that I don’t want to spend my summer reading, but that’s not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and librarians don’t understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books that a friend of my mother’s calls “spinach books”: good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get bitter about the experience.
This bitterness started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read “The Age of Innocence” by American author Edith Wharton. I’m sure there are many people who enjoyed “The Age of Innocence” — some might even say it’s their favorite book.
But I don’t think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.
“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldn’t imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” was totally different to my life.
Most of my required summer reading has been like that — books written in a style that plays up the adjectives and plays down the verbs. I guess teachers don’t think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.
If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George V. Higgins, “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.
1. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because ____________.
A. he doesn’t like reading in summer vacation
B. he is to read the books boring and not right for kids
C. he hates the English teacher assigning homework
D. he hates August
2. What can make students interested in August reading ought to be ___________.
A. romantic B. out of date
C. entertaining and educational D. pure
3. The author listed such books as “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” because he thinks __________.
A. they can change his opinion B. he can learn a lot more from them
C. they are of literary value, and enjoyable D. he has to do as teachers tell him to
4. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be ___________.
A. one who describes events and characters in different ways
B. one who is full of imagination
C. one who is learned
D. one who uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what to happen next
5. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?
A. Why Can’t Teachers Set Us Fun Books?
B. I Don’t Like Reading on the Vacation
C. Teachers, Don’t Set Us Any Reading Assignments
D. Teachers, Set Us Free

A goat, suffering from 21 , came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, asked if the water was good. 22 to be happy and merry, the fox praised the delicious taste of the water and 23 him to go down.

The 26 might be that you aren’t reimbursed（赔偿）for your medical expenses immediately.

Azure Warrenfeltz, a 4-year-old girl, is fluent in Japanese and Spanish. She also can 21 bits of French, German, Arabic and Italian, and she soon hopes to learn some Mandarin Chinese.
In today's globalized world, Azure is one of many young American children whose parents insist her 22 include foreign languages.
"It's such a 23 environment now, you never know what you might need," says Azure's mother, Julie Warrenfeltz, who started schooling her daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. "She couldn't 24 a violin, she couldn't stand upright, but I wanted her to do 25 ."
Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for 26 , but children who are exposed to other languages also do better in school. They are more 27 to diversity, says François Thibaut, who runs The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools around the East Coast.
Language study for children is based on immersion (沉浸), he says. Kids sing songs and play games to help develop language comprehension skills. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the 28 to learn many languages at once without getting 29 — because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to separate one 30 from another.

Being probably the most complex female character in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Ophelia deserves special attention because she is treated as a substitute for Stowe’s intended audience. Ophelia __21_ what Mrs. Stowe, the author, considered a widespread Northern problem: the white person who opposes slavery but feels __22_ prejudice and hatred in the presence of a black slave. Ophelia hates slavery, but she considers it almost _23__ for blacks, against whom she harbors a deep-seated prejudice. And she doesn’t want them to touch her. Stowe stresses that much of Ophelia’s prejudice _24__ from unfamiliarity and ignorance rather than from actual _25__ Because Ophelia has seldom spent time along with __26_, she finds them uncomfortably alien (不相容) to her.
But Ophelia seems to be one of the only characters in the novel whose character _27__ as the story progresses. Once St. Clare puts Topsy in her care, Ophelia is forced to be in _28__ with a slave. At first she begins to teach Topsy __29_ out of duty. But Stowe suggests that duty alone will not root out slavery and that those against slavery must act out of love. Eva’s death leads to Ophelia’s change, and she comes to love Topsy as an actual human being and not just a slave. She _30__ her racial prejudice and offers herself as a model to Stowe’s Northern readers.

Switching public spending from “grey” projects such as roads and airports, to “ 21 ” schemes such as parks, tree planting and vegetables gardens, would not only 22 the government billions of pounds, improve health, and cut climate emissions(排放物), 23 it would create jobs and make British cities more attractive.
The analysis comes from two groups of government advisers, Natural England and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, and is supported by 24 from other countries. It shows that 25 cuts are made in those areas that add to pollution, waste and ill health, and money is invested 26 in projects that save energy, improve health and reduce waste, the benefits are seen quickly.
For instance, the £10.2 billion budgeted by central government for 27 building in Britain this year will increase traffic and emissions and leave the public purse to clean up the pollution and waste. Just half of that money would pay for a new park in every local authority. Equally, the £1.28 billion 28 for widening the M25 by a single lane would benefit drivers by perhaps a few seconds a journey, but it would buy and maintain more than 3 million new street trees.
Government figures show that road traffic has increased 25% in the past 15 years, at the same time as obesity and public health costs have soared. Research also shows that in the place where people have direct 29 with the environment via animals, plants or landscapes, they are more 30 to be mentally and physically healthy.
