Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding(崭露头角的) archaeologists of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.
Romans?
“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists failed to find anything relating to the cropmark. There is anecdotal evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?”
Get involved
This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.
For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@gmail.com.

For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”
Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing— both of the house and heart.
1.What made the author feel bitter?
A. She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.
B. Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.
C. Her mom was always left alone at home.
D. Her mom wasted money on useless things,
2.The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A. getting rid of the stuff. B. buying the stuff
C. opening the stuff D. moving the stuff
3.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. the author never bought her mom anything
B. the author’s mom has no money to purchase now
C. the author s mom regrets buying so many things
D. the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to do shopping wisely B. The importance of self-forgiveness.
C. Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D. Clearance helps remove suffering

Preparing for Oral Exams
The oral exam is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge, your presentation/speaking skills, as well as your ability to communicate. 1. The exam can be formal, or informal, but you should consider all exams formal exchanges in order to make a good impression.2.
To do well on an oral exam requires a rather different set of skills than those called for on a written exam.3. Here are some ideas on what you can do to prepare:
Learn the requirements and criteria. When you are preparing for oral exams, you shouldn’t be doing it in the dark.4. You should ask your teachers and advisers, and if you are taking a standardized exam, you can even contact the authority that is organizing and collect that information. Usually this information is not a secret and your teachers would gladly explain to you what they expect to see during the examination in order to give you a good mark.
5. Get together in a small group or in pair. Ask each other the questions and actually take the time to verbally answer them. You will not get it right the first (or the second) time. Revise your outline to help you get a better track, and then try again. Discuss answering techniques with people in the field or who have had the test, which will give you the courage to face your oral exam with confidence.
A. Practice for the exam.
B. Learn something new.
C. It can also be good practice for job interviews!
D. So you should master some of them and aim at using them properly.
E. This means that you should make an active effort to learn that information.
F. For both types, you must listen carefully to the question, and answer directly.
G. So some previous experience is helpful: teaching, debating, oral presentations, class participation, etc.
