Lost cities that have been found

The White City

In

2015,

a

team

of

explorers

to

Honduras

in

search

of

Lost

City

of

the

Monke

God

the

Central

American

country

which

is

known

for

poisonous

snakes,

vicious

jaguars

and

deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(

征服者

)

occupied their homeland in the16th century.

Canopus and Heracleion

Modern

researchers

were

teased

by

the

ancient

writings

about

the

Egyptian

cities

Canopus and Heracleion- where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities

weren’t

found

until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for

centuries.

Artifacts(

史前器物

)

showed

that

the

cities

once

highly

developed

as

a

trade

network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.

Machu Picchu

A

Yale

professor

discovered

Lost

City

in

the

Clouds

1911.

A

combination

of

palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of

its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden

by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved.

Troy

The ancient city of Troy in homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his

characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient

cities layered (

My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I

could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children

had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summers road trip

As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book- Jim Trelease's

The

Read

Aloud

Handbook

.

This

could

be

the

answer

to

my

problem.

I

thought.

So

I

put

Roald dahl's

James and the Giant Peach

into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of

the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and

wrestled

in

their

seats.

But

after

several

lines,

they

were

attracted

into

the

rhythm

of

the

words and began to listen

We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the

long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I

read Wilson Rawls's

Summer of the Monkeys

as we spent two days driving to the beach. We

arrived just behind the power crews restoring(

恢复

) electricity after a tropical storm. The rain

continued

most

of

the

week,

and

the

beach

was

covered

with

oil

washed

up

by

the

storm.

When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without

hesitation,

Road

trips

still

offer

challenges,

even

though

my

children

now

are

teenagers.

But

we

continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud

has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own

electronic

And

maybe

we've

started

something

that

will

pass

on

to

the

next

generation.

24. Why did the author start reading in the car?

B. She wanted to keep a family tradition

C. Her children were addicted to reading.

D. Her children were tired of the cassette

25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?

B. They hid themselves

C. They soon settled down

D. They read together aloud

26. What can we learn about the author and her family's trip to the beach?

A. They were caught in a storm

B. They enjoyed reading on the road

C. They had a good time on the beach

D. They thought it had passed too quickly.

27. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Better Traveling than Reading

B. Books that Changed My Children

C. Road Trips Full of Challenges

D. Reading Makes Great Road Trips

The

arm

bones

of

women

who

lived

7,000

years

ago

show

a

surprising

level

of

strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. that's according to a first-ever study

comparing

prehistoric(

史前的

)

bones

to

those

of

living

people.

The

finding

suggests

a

revision

of

history-

the

everyday

lives

of

prehistoric

women

were

filled

with

hard

labor,

rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.

Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It

can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put

our bodies through,

both

put

pressure

on

the

bone.

The

bone

reacts

by

changing

in

shape,

thickness

and

other

aspects over time.

Previous

studies

only

compared

female

bones

to

contemporary

male

bones,

the

researchers

said-and

that's

a

problem,

because

the

response

of

male

bones

to

stress

and

change

is

much

bigger

than

that

of

women.

For

instance,

as

humans

moved

from

a

hunter-gatherer

lifestyle

constantly

on

the

move

to

a

more

settled

agrarian(

农耕的

)

one,

changes

can

be

observed

in

the

structure

of

)-

and

these

changes

were

much more evident in men.

However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female

athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were

doing.

can start to

explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming, Macintosh said. What

they found was that women's leg strength

hasn’

be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11-16 percent

and Karen Goldman's farm in Idaho Falls to advertise her u-pick pumpkin field While Darla

has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and

in

it.

Past

Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.

To make the tractors, Al baled round straw bales in two different sizes- smaller ones for

the

tractor's

and

larger

ones

for

the

rear(

Large
