kinds of treasure inside it. so he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.he was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. one day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.he crawled into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small diamond. the man took it and gave it to the first person to come by, a woman.then an old man came by. “what bad luck!” the man said. “just a moment ago i gave a woman the last of the treasure i was guarding.”“are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked. the man took him into the cave, where they found a box with jewels and some bags of gold. the man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “at last! at last! at last someone has broken the curse of this cave. this is the cave of treasure, and youre the first to have passed its great test. many have devoted their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here ”“and why does this happen?” the man asked.“this magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. when someone discovers it, the cave fills with the treasure they bring with them, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts become empty, as does the cave. the only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”from that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.1.why did the man give up his job, home and friends?a. because he possessed a variety of treasure. b. because he had to guard the treasure cave.c. because he wanted to find the treasure cave. d. because he devoted himself to a great test.2. what did the man find when he showed his cave to the old man? a. all kinds of treasure. b. a handful of jewels.c. a small emerald. d. a box with jewels and gold.3.what do we learn about the people who dedicated their lives to the cave before?a. they all filled the cave with the treasure they had. b. they thought it was better to share than to enjoy the treasure alone.c. they all found the cave empty at last.d. the old man freed them from its spell.4.what can we learn from the text?a. giving makes people healthier and happier than owing.b. some people never learn what is really valuable. c. treasure only belongs to those who possess it.d. different people have different views.bgetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. however, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.in the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. a particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. by 1538, the french king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. so did the king of england in 1546. thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. henry iv, king of france, was famously dirty. upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since world war . advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. on the contrary, mary ruebush, an american immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. and the latter position is gaining some ground.5.the kings of france and england in the 16th century closed bath houses because .a. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.b. they believed disease could be spread in public baths c. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay ind. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease6.which of the following best describes henry ivs attitude to bathing?a. uninterested. b. curious.c. approving. d. afraid. 7.how does the passage mainly develop?a. by following the order of time.b. by making comparisons.c. by providing examples.d. by following the order of importance.8.what is the authors purpose in writing the passage?a. to stress the role of dirt.b. to introduce the history of dirt.c. to present the change of views on dirt.d. to call attention to the danger of dirt.cnorthern lights tourlocated in the middle of the northern lights belt, tromso can offer some of the highest levels of northern lights activity on earth. perhaps tromso is the worlds

brochure dmum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” jessica asked. “a skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. for example, if in the past, someone in dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. he really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“why pick on my family?” jessicas father said with anger. “your family history isnt so good, you know. wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner

understand now,” jessica cut in before things grew worse.after dinner, the house was very quiet. jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. when she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to jessicas closet. just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. jessicas mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. she looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“what happened? where am i?” she asked. “you just destroyed the schools skeleton, mum,” explained jessica. “i brought it home to help me with my health project. i meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as i mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and dad.”
