         The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5000 years, and it
    seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. The most famous of these are the
    "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.
         Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years
    ago. Most of the damage (破坏) has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often,
    for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their
    very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin (废墟). These are good reasons why they can still be
    seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
         It is most likely that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large
    works have fortunately been preserved. But, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians
    planned or built the pyramid themselves. As a result, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
    However, one thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to
    build. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place. You may think this would have been easy
    with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules
    had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
         The pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun sets. This was for religious
    reasons. The pyramid also had to stand well above tho level of the river to protect it against the regular floods.
    The pyramid could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats
    down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The
    builders also had to find a rock base which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid.
    Finally, the pyramid had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king's palace so that he could visit it
    easily and personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
    1. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by _______.
    A. stones
    B. rivers
    C. weather
    D. men
    2. What's the meaning of the underlined word preserve?
    A. Damage.
    B. Protect.
    C. Build.
    D. Cover.
    3. What was the first thing people had to do before they could begin to build?
    A. To follow the rules.
    B. To draw the pictures.
    C. To choose the right place.
    D. To find the workers.
    4. To protect a pyramid from floods they could have built it a long way from the Nile, but _______.
    A. it had to be built on the west side of the river Nile where the sun sets
    B. it was difficult to find a large enough rock base so far from the fiver
    C. this would have been impossible because of religious reasons
    D. this would have made it very difficult to transport the materials

         "Track!" said my master.
         Like any good tracker-dog who has received the command (命令) he most loves, I gave a bark of
    excitement, put my nose down to the ground and sniffed. The ground was rich with smells. Even in the
    high-class housing area where we were working, the stones held traces of many sole and confusing scents
    (smells). As I searched for the scent that would give me a clue to the tail of the guilty man, my tail wagged
    slowly, thoughtfully, delightedly. Work was like play to me; I enjoyed it.
         A small group of people gathered behind us. Among these onlookers was the old caretaker of the building
    next door to ours. He spoke in a scomful voice, "You actually think your dog might catch a thief three days
    after the event?" My master said nothing, but I'm sure he must have smiled. I did not turn to look. I knew he
    would not speak unless it was to give me a new command.
         I needed to concentrate. My task was difficult. I had to pick out one scent among the many that lay about
    and then tracked it to its source.
         "You're wasting your time," said the caretaker. I looked at him without raising my head. He was running
    his hand over his fat stomach. His rough palm and smooth shirt combined to make a slight noise. It was part
    of my training to be aware-often it is only a little whisper of a noise that alerts (提醒) you to be drawing of a
    weapon. But of course the aging caretaker was going to do no such thing. There was no smell of fear or
    nervousness about him. He was merely being clever and talkative.
         "I've seen many tracker-dogs in my time," said the caretaker to the onlookers. I served with the police years
    ago. We would never have thought of using a tracker-dog to find a car thief. Impossible. Everyone knows that
    dogs are useless in such matters.
         In a sense he was right. I'm sure there's no need to tell you that, just as a dog's hearing is much better than
    a human being's, so his sense of smell tells one thing from another far better than a great detective. If Sherlock
    Holmes could work out that a man had had an egg for breakfast by seeing the yellow stain on his mouth, a
    trained dog could tell you whether the hen that laid the egg was healthy or not.
         I know it sounds funny and I mean it to be. But I'm not exaggerating. A dog can tell you-if you understand
    a dog's way of communicating-all this and more without even setting eyes on the man he is investigating.
    1. Who do you think the dog was tracking?
    A. The thief.
    B. The caretaker.
    C. The master.
    D. The onlookers.
    2. How did the dog react to the command to track?
    A. It thought for a while and did what was asked.
    B. It was happy, even though it wasn't trained for the task.
    C. It was angry because there were so many smells.
    D. It was excited because it took pleasure in tracking.
    3. In the dog's opinion, its sense of smell ________.
    A. can give us fewer details about what a human has already discovered
    B. can achieve more than what a human's only if the smell is not hidden
    C. is particularly trained to pick out one scent among hundreds
    D. is better than its sense of hearing when it does tracking
    4. According to the passage, the dog is ________.
    A. honest and hopeful
    B. smart and helpful
    C. kind and careful
    D. popular and thoughtful Movie Ticket Information

         The common cold is the world's most widespread illness. The most widespread mistake of all is that
    colds are caused by cold weather. They are not. They are caused by viruses (病毒) passing on from person
    to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has
    one.
         If cold weather causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.
    But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers (探险者) have reported being free from colds until
    coming into contact again with the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes.
    During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no
    increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz
    concentration camp, naked and starving, were extremely surprised to find that they seldom had colds.
         At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in the experiments in which they
    gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths,
    they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in
    drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not
    one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
         If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent (often) in the
    winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by
    scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes
    it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
         No one has yet found a cure for colds. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they
    do is to relieve the symptoms (症状).
    1. Are the common colds caused by cold?
        ______________________________________
    2. When may Arctic explorers catch colds? 
        ______________________________________
    3. How many kinds of people does the writer mention when explaining his idea?
