The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ,the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt.It was stolen in the 19th century,at the time when many explorers from Europe and America wanted to find the mummified bodies of Pharaohs(法老).They had heard stories of the Pharaohs being buried with treasures of great artistic, scientific and financial value.?
But when King Tut was discovered in 1922 in Egypt they realized the Pharaohs might have been buried with something else as well—curses(咒語).?
As soon as Englishman Howard Carter found King Tut's tomb,strange things started to happen.On the night of the discovery,Carter's canary(金絲雀) was killed by a snake.It was the same kind of snake found on a symbol worn by the Pharaohs on their foreheads. A few months later,Lord Carnarvon,the man who paid for Carter's trip,died suddenly in Cairo of unknown causes.By 1935,no fewer than 21 people connected with the discovery of the tomb had died. ?
After much argument over whether the curse of King Tut really existed,four years ago German scientist Gotthard Kramer tried to find it out for certain.He discovered that bacteria(細(xì)菌) on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths.“When this bacteria enters the body through the nose,mouth or eyes,”Kramer said,“it can result in illness or even death,particularly to those with bad health.”?
But perhaps the power of the curse is in the minds of those who believe it.Carter,the man who actually opened the tomb,lived to 66 before dying of natural causes.“All sensible people should dismiss(不予理會) these curse ideas as rubbish,”he said. ?

Where have all the boys gone?You may be able to find them in the gym, at work or hanging out, but there’s one important place where boys are under??represented, and the problem seems to be getting worse. These days, at high school graduation ceremonies, there are a lot more girls than boys.
In fact, every year, 10 percent more girls graduate from high school than boys. “I think that there’s a tendency to focus on boys as problems at this point, rather than recognize that boys have problems,” says Joanne Max, PhD. Experts say the problems start in grade school, where there’s often an emphasis on sports instead of reading, for example. “I think that with boys there’s some idea that it’s not masculine(男子漢的)to read,” says Rob Jenkins, an English professor.
There’s also a shortage of male teachers as role models. “I think boys need role models, so if you’re a boy and you don’t have a dad in your home and then you have one male teacher and it’s your athletic coach then I don’t think you have a message that education is very important,” says Carol Carter, another expert. In addition, classrooms often have too little activity and too much passive listening, which is not conducive(有益的)to boys’ learning.
Experts say parents can fight back in many ways. Read to your sons early and often; show by your actions that you value their education. Ask them about their schoolwork, offer help, drop by their classroom and finally, appeal to their competitive spirit: challenge them to do better and help them understand that their future depends on it.
The underlined part “one important place” in Paragraph 1 refers to “______”.
A. classrooms B. factories
C. high school graduation ceremonies D. gyms
According to the passage,boys have the problem that they think ______.
A. reading is more important than sports

B. athletic coaches contribute a lot to education
C. lack of male teachers affects boys’ attitudes to school work

Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather?
Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (獸皮)?
Animals Do Not Have Rights
By Tibor R. Machan
My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (倫理學(xué)) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using animals, including their fur or organs, to improve people's lives is acceptable.
A Small Step Against Cruelty
By Kate Carter
Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is less cruel because it's a byproduct (副產(chǎn)品) of the meat industry. But this isn't really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often it's the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鴕鳥)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰殺)birds' value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat.
"Who" Are You Wearing?
By Marc Bekoff
West Hollywood's ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰場) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So it's a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.West Hollywood's ban on fur products. |
B.Differences between fur and leather sales. |
C.The government's role in protecting animals. |
D.The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood. |
A.Both are decided by the meat industry. |
B.There is little distinction (區(qū)別) between them. |
C.Wearing fur is generally more acceptable. |
D.Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur. |
A.Sympathetic. | B.Careless. | C.Tolerant. | D.Opposed. |
