fly home from london. the flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to takeoff. i had my ipod in place and a new book to read. then, over the loudspeaker came the pilots voice: “the ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire. we regret that we must cancel this flight.” the passengersreactions that announcement led to were interesting. one man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant. a couple in another row complained loudly. a businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. yet some passengers responded differently. an elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments (行李厢). a teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. the lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “hey, its not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them. the wisest

caused by a ghost? a lot of the story below is truebut did it really happen quite like this? our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the north atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in egypt. it is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery(谜) of the titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of cairo. one day, a famous professor of egyptian history called douglas murray was staying in cairo, when he was contacted by an american adventurer. the american had something unusual to offer murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an egyptian queen. it was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition gold, with bright paintings on it. murray was delighted with both the object and the asking-price. he gave the man a cheque immediately. the cheque was never cashed. that evening the american adventurer died. for his part, murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to britain. however, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: on the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. the arm had to be cut off. after the accident, murray decided to return to his homeland. on the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. the now-terrified murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in london. a lady he knew named janet jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. shortly afterwards, jones mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. she tried returning the mummy, but naturally murray refused it. in the end, it was presented to the british museum. even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. a museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason. in the end, the british museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. they sold it to a collector in new york. at the start of april 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. but the new yorker never received the mummy or its case. for when the titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong-room was the mummy case. or so they say. 5. from the passage, we know professor murray _. a. used to work for the british museum b. was a british professor of egyptian history c. didnt believe the mummy really brought bad fortune d. was a famous american adventurer 6. in paragraph 6, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to a. uncommon b. expensive c. unlucky d. forgotten7. in what order did the following events occur? a. the case was given to the british museum. b. janet jones caught a mysterious illness. c. murrays arm was cut off d. the mummy case was sold to an american. e. a man who took a picture of the case died. f. warnings were written on the tombs walls. a. c, f, b, a, e, d b. d, f, b, c, a, e c. f, a, c, b, e, d d. f, c, b, a,e, d 8. according to the passage, where is the egyptian mummy now? a. in new york. b. in egypt. c. under

that would mark his writingafter graduation, white spent a year as a newspaper reporter in new york city, then decided to drive across the country with a friendthe trip gave white a lifetime of anecdotes“when they ran out of money, whites friend, james thurber, noted, they played for their supper and their gasoline on an interesting musical instrument that white had made out of some pieces of wire and an old shoewhen white returned to new york city in the mid-1920s, he spent a few years bouncing between advertising jobs and unemployment before trying his hand again at writingnot very seriously, he sent some essays to a new magazine called the new yorkersince its founding in 1925, the magazine had struggled to find its niche, and whites work helped put the new yorker on the maphis essays were funny and sophisticated; they spoke equally to socialites(社会名流）and cab drivers, professors and repairmenthrough his essays, which he wrote for nearly 50 years, white helped give the new yorker its voice and identityin 1945, already a leading literary figure, white switched to his second occupation writing childrens bookshe moved from new york to a farm in maine, where he raised chickens and geese seeking a way to amuse his nieces and nephews, white started to write stories for them“children were always after me to tell them a story and i found i couldnt do it, he said“ so i had to get it down on paper”by the time he died from alzheimers disease in 1985, whites essays had appeared in more literary collections in colleges than those of any other writermany said his essays

its sponsors tastes bprotects its social identity chelps to build its own styledvoices its authors concern11. what do we know about whites works? athey originally came from the stories told by his nieces bthey were intended for people of different social status cthey helped the new yorker find its position on the map dthey were chosen by college textbooks when they came outd according to a new us study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive as sons overall. the research by angelina grigoryeva, a sociologist at princeton university, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members. her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older americans concluded that gender(性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents. in a paper being presented at the annual conference of the american sociological association in san francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care. using data from the university of michigan health and retirement study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. “whereas the amount of elderly parent care daughters provide is associated with limitations they face, such as employment or childcare, sons caregiving is associated only with the presence or absence of other helpers, such as sisters or a parents spouse(配偶),” she explained. “sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” “this suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” in the uk, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. but many are doing so at the risk of their own health. the census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full- time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.12.whats the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? a. gender. b. education. c. career. d. family networks.13.the us study finds that _. a. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age b. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share c. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents d. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to female family members14.what does the author stress in the last paragraph? a. people should give up their jobs to care for the elderly. b. many care providers work longer hours than others. c. people shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others. d. many care providers have potential health problems.15.the author develops the text by _. a. explaining social networks of careers b. describing peoples experiences c. analyzing various research and data d. comparing different

asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickerye the ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of toolsfthis use of a third individual to
