Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的) archaeologists(考古学家) of all ages,in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.

Romans?

“The site is a bit of a mystery", Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists(地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (传闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site? Can you help us find out?"

Get involved

This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place.

For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@gmail.com.

Bob, a Burroughs junior high school football player, always had his mom cheering him on. He didn’t play exciting positions. He played as a linebacker(中后卫球员). Sadly, he often found himself at the bottom of the piles, where everyone would jump onto each other at the end of every play. Bob's mom realized it was hard for her son to hear her cheering. She had to find a solution, but couldn't find one.

Then one day the coach from the school team asked him if he wanted to join the team. Bob was ecstatic, because he was only a ninth grader. His mom was also excited, since she loved football and especially loved watching her son play. She kept considering a way for him to hear her. A cowbell! That was it. Now from the bottom of the piles Bob would hear his mom shaking her cowbell crazily, knowing she was there for him.

Bob's team finally made it to the state championship game. What exciting time to play at Busch Stadium under the lights! This experience made Bob appreciate all the years that his mom had sacrificed everything to get him to practice every day, to wash his uniforms, and to never miss a game. He had to do something.

On the night of the state championship game, the loudspeakers introduced Bob, and as he walked onto the field his mom shook the cowbell, hard. However, it didn’t sound right. She looked its inside, and found a note saying,”Thank you, Mom.” Bob had left her a note expressing his appreciation for always being with him, filling her heart with warmth.

Finally Burroughs claimed the title of State Champion. While others were cheering and admiring the state championship cup, Bob' s mom clutched(紧握) her cowbell happily.

Years later, Bob’s mom died. While digging through her belongings, he found the cowbell with the note. Bob took it to his mom's funeral and rang it, whispering, "Thank you, Mom.”

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely(精确的) target pesticide(杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that don’t have pest problems.
    Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.
    The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进) in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,” says George Oerther of Texas A& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

8. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are _____.

A. facing an infrared scanner　    B. sprayed with pesticides　
C. exposed to extreme sun rays　　   D. in poor physical condition

9. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to _____.

A. draw a color-coded map　      B. evaluate the damage to the crops　
C. locate the problem area　　      D. measure the size of the affected area

10. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of _____.

A. the lack of official support　　   B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support　       D. its failure to help increase production

11. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _____. 　　

A. full support from agricultural experts 

B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture　　
C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce 　　
D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crop

D

The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. But that was a brief sweet history.

In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.

Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.

In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand.”

Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat（撤退） north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”

In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with many of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)

12. What is TRUE about the Lewis and Clark expedition?

A. They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.

  B. They ended their expedition on the banks of Clearwater River.

C. They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.

  D. They were the first Americans to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

13. What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?

A. Old Joseph’s proud manner     

B. White men’s increasing demand for land and gold

C. A growing number of white men in the land   

D. The breakdown of the peace talk

14. Young Joseph gave in at last because __________.

A. he grew older                      B. he was terribly ill

C. he hated the war                    D. he lost other chiefs’ support

15. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about __________.

  A. the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce Indians

  B. the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville Reservation

C. lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the whites

  D. constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribes

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I always loved jokes and cartoons. They can be serious as they point out the silliness in our lives, convey a wise message of wisdom and at the same time bring a smile. Sometimes there is little difference between a joke and life wisdom. 16.

I started collecting jokes I received from different sources over a period of some 25 years. For the book I chose for an “Anglo-Saxon” collection. They are typical for the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Where are they from? Who wrote them? 17, Most are everywhere, floating anonymously (匿名地)  on the internet, and circulate among friends, e-mails, chat groups and mailing lists. Many come up over a beer.

The language of humor is not universal and translating into another language mostly does not work. 18. Living in China for a long time, I gave up telling jokes as our Chinese friends find nothing funny in them and they can lead to misunderstandings. 19. Trying to translate Chinese jokes also would mostly fail to convey anything “funny” for us Westerners; I can say I cannot recall any Chinese joke.

While at a first sight the book may not be interesting to Chinese readers, due to the cultural differences, 20, as well as to learn a different vocabulary. Also, for those who deal with Westerners, here in China or when abroad, they might surprise their foreign friends by serving them some jokes they can appreciate.

A．Different cultures have a different understanding of what is “funny”

B．Generally speaking, nobody knows the original source

C．they wonder why there are so many about the Westerners

D．Worse, they start asking a million questions of the why and what and how

E.  Maybe life is just a big joke

F.  Most Chinese are totally unfamiliar with the Western world of jokes; they are puzzled or even shocked

G.  it is a nice tool for our friends to learn about typical Western humor

Dear sir or madam,

I am Li Hua. Learning that you are picking out the top ten tourist attractions worldwide, I am writing to recommend you to take Lijiang into consideration. The reasons are as follows.

Located in the southwest of china, Lijiang is a fantastic city. It is famous for its wonderful scenery and its unique culture. Firstly, the clear streams and splendid snowy mountains make Lijiang a popular city to live in. In addition, it has an ancient town where many valuable cultural relics are well preserved. More importantly, what attracts tourists most is its Naxi culture.

 In a word, Lijiang is considered as a fairyland. I hope you can make a trip to the city.
