Here are some discoveries that capture (引起) the archaeological imagination.The Rosetta Stone, EgyptThe Rosetta Stone is a stone with writing on it using three scripts. It was found in 1799 by French soldiers who were rebuilding a fort in Egypt. After the British defeated the French, the British army got the Stone and sent it to the British Museum, where it has been kept since 1802. Many people worked on deciphering (译解) the hieroglyphs (象形文字) on it over hundreds of years. After many years of studying, Jean-Franois Champollion deciphered them in 1822. The Tomb of the First Emperor, ChinaBuried deep under a hill, the entombed (埋葬的) emperor has been undisturbed there for more than two thousand years. About 8,000 soldiers stand in rows to protect the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China.They are accompanied by 130 chariots (战车) pulled by over 500 horses, as well as officials, musicians and so on. Discovered by farmers in 1974, the tomb is a fantastic symbol of the power and creativity of the rulers of ancient China.Akrotiri, GreeceAkrotiri is a fascinating archaeological site in Greece. Regarded as the “Minoan Pompeii”, Akrotiri was once a trading centre. The town was destroyed and preserved around 1450 BC by a volcanic eruption. Today it has been partially excavated (发掘) and it is protected from the sun inside a large shed. This well-preserved Bronze Age town gives us a vivid view into the lives of its early settlers.31.

So teaching your kids the Internet safety is a must if you want to keep them safe while they can enjoy the benefits brought by the Internet. Below are some tips that you can follow to protect your children in the modern information age.Start by taking some time to sit down and explain the potential dangers of surfing the Internet to your children. You can explain how important it is for them to know that there are some people on the Internet who will trick them by pretending to be someone they are not. Make sure that your children understand that they should never give out personal information under no circumstances. Personal information includes address, phone number or parents work information. Tell your children not to talk about things like going to ball games or other activities to strangers as this can help strangers locate where they are. Your children should never post a photo of themselves, family members or friends on the Internet without your approval.Tell them never to open an e-mail from someone they dont know. You should also explain to your children that they should never respond to any messages that are sent in anger. Above all, tell them never to meet any strangers that they met online without your supervision (监督).Keep the computer in a neutral (中立的) area of the home such as the living room. This allows you to see what is going on and know for sure how long your children stay online. Use any means available to make sure that your children cannot visit the websites that you feel are inappropriate.34.

You are welcome to come and visit me anytime, but there are a few things that you must understand before you visit. You must expect a few dog hairs to stick to your clothes. I clean my house regularly, but my dog lives here too. My dog is well-mannered and very clean. But if you are one of those who think that all animals are dirty and smelly, then go away. You are not the type of person that I care to associate with. If you dont like the sound of barking, then you wont feel comfortable in my house. Dont expect me to lock my dog in another room during your visit. I have trained my dog well, so he will not do anything to you except maybe he wants a pat on the head. I will not make him feel as if he is being punished by locking him away for no reason. That would be cruel. When you walk into my home, be careful not to trip (绊倒) on a stuffed toy or a ball. Those are my dogs treasures and I will not take them away from him just to show you that I keep a clean house. He knows where all his toys are. These things may look trivial (无关紧要的) to you, but to my dog, they are worth more than gold. You see, this is OUR home. We have been together since he was a small puppy running around the house. I raised him into a well-mannered and well-behaved dog. I am proud of him. I consider him my personal gift from God. He has given me his endless love and devotion (忠诚) for many years. I love him dearly and want to make his life happy. 38. Why does the author write this text? A. To tell readers how to cheer a dog up. B. To warn readers not to make a dog unhappy. C.

Here are some helpful ways to help you have a larger vocabulary. 46 A good English dictionary should be up-to-date and easy to understand. Make sure that the definitions (定义) are written in clear English. I strongly recommend Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, as there is good coverage of spoken and written English, British and American English, as well as clear example sentences.Make notes of new words. But before you write them down on your notebook, you should look them up in the dictionary and make sure you are aware of any grammatical information. 47 When you write down the new word in your notebook, try to include an example sentence in English.Organize your notes into themes. Some people find it very helpful to do so. 48 For example, you can have one page containing words which have something to do with houses, while another page containing words relating to jobs, and so on. 49 The next time you have spare time, skip through (跳读) your notebook. Choose a page where yo
