Swedish Archaeologists Make New Discoveries

Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos, five hours north of

Athens.

The

Archaeological

____31______

are

scattered

on

and

around

the

Strongilovouni

hill

on

the

great

Thessalian plains and can be traced to several historical periods.

“What used to be considered remains of some _____

32____ settlement can now be upgraded to remains of a

city

higher

significance

than

_____33______

thought,”

says

Robin

Ronnl

und,

PhD

student

in

Classical

Archaeology and Ancient History at the university of Gothenburg and leader of the fieldwork.

“We came across the site which has never been explored before in connection with anothe

r project last year

and realised the great __34_____ right away

.”

Working together with the Swedish Institute at Athens and the local archaeological service in Karditsa, the

Vlochos Archacological Project (VLAP) was started with an aim to explore the remains

. The project’s research

team completed the first field season during two weeks in September 2016.

Ronnlund

says

that

the

hill

is

hiding

many

____35_____. Remains

of

towers,

walls

and

city

gates

the site in the same ____38____ as it was in when they arrived. The success of this method is _____39____ from

the results of the first field season:

“

We found a town square and a street network that indicate that we are dealing with quite a large city. The

the

city

wall

measures

over

40

hectares.

We

also

found

ancient

pottery

and

coins

that

can

help

to

___40____ the city. Our oldest finds are from around 500 BC, but the city seems to have flourished mainly from

the fourth to the third century BC before it was abandoned for some reason, maybe in connection with the Roman

conquest of the area.

”

Ronnlund believes that the Swedish-Greek project can provide important clues as to what happened during

this violent period in Greek history.

The Right Thing

“Hi,

Mrs

.

Grady

,”

said

Mark

when

th

eir

neighbor

opened

her

door.

“

Would

you

like

us

to

shovel

your

sidewalk and driveway

?” Shoveling was Jamie’s idea

, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom

video game that came out the next day.

Mrs.

Grady was happy, “That would be wonderful, boys

. I think the job is getting to be too much for me.

”

“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said.

“If that’s OK

,

”

Mark added.

“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “

I haven

’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade

cookies, but I realize

that’s

not what you had in mind

.”

Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off.

“We’ll come

back later

.”

Mrs.

Grady

doesn’t

look

like

the

person

who’d

come

to

his

rescue

last

summer

when

Mr.

Dunn’s

collie

,

Goldie had just wanted t

o play, but Mark didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help

, but

his tongue seemed

locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open

. She must have seen him

from across the street. “Hold on, Mark. I’

m

coming!” “

Goldie!

” she’d called

. As soon as Goldie had turned her

head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. S

he wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood fi

rm

as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom

to hurry the dog along

.” Get!” Goldie

had obeyed.

When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed.

“It was nothing

. Good neighbors watch out

for each other, don’t they?”

And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. He

smiled and waved at Mrs.

Grady, then thrust his shovel deep into the snow.

“Hey!”

Jamie

shouted.

“What

are

you

doing?”

Mark

couldn’t

explain

about

Goldie

and

watching

out

for

neighbors.

“I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,”

he said .

56.

Why did Jamie and Mark plan to clear the snow for Mrs. Grady at first?

A. To help the lady.

B. To earn pocket money.

C. To do volunteer work.

D. To visit New Kingdom.

57.

Mrs

. Grady couldn’t pay them most probably because ________.

A. she didn’t have enough cash

B.

she couldn’t find the bank

C. she thought it was worthless

D. she couldn’

t afford it

58.

Positive.

B. Helpful.

C. Brave.

D. Hopeful.

59.

Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story?
