The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone.He said, "The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world."
_73  . He told the king.who asked his scholars about this word.They told him that the Phiygians, who lived in an area which is now Turkey, called bread "becos." The king said, "Then Phiygian is the oldest language." Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong.We don't know why the children said "becos".
74 . Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same "family" and that they started from the same parent language, Proto-Indo-European.Linguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BC.Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits.

B.He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea
C.The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him
D.Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families
E.People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2 ,000 years

    61    Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
   62    Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.    63   
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers and sisters.    64    However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?
Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.    65     Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad-it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.
You can train your temper.
You don’t want to cause trouble.
Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.
Everybody gets angry sometimes.
In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
Instead of thinking of the person you are angry with, think of something else.
Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some others.

When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last seen in a hospice(收容所) in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police believed it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.
But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.
An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.
John Renehan:
Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at that very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged that John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.

B.In 2003, they took a badly-rotten body for Mr Delaney.

D.They made John Renehan cremate the rotten body.
43.The most probable reason why Delaney disappeared was that        .
A.he had memory loss.                                   B.his family disliked him
C.he liked to live outside                     D.he met with a friendly family
44.It can be inferred from the passage that Delaney       .
