Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A lot of the story below is true…but did it really happen quite like this?

Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery(谜) of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo.

One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition —gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking-price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.

The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.

After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now-terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.

Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.

At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong-room was the mummy case. Or so they say.

Tears ran down from my eyes as I saw the essay my high school English teacher had just handed back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid ! My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid.

“I’m the only one who doesn’t know my ABCs!” I sobbed to Mom.

“I’ll help,” she promised.

Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated, I would return to my bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices.

“When I grow up, I want my own store,”  I told Mom , pointing to my drawings.

“ That’s great !” she said, “ but first you have to learn to read.”

Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia (失读症). So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given reading exercises. But I still had a hard time. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.

“I’ll never get a job !”  I cried to Mom later again.

“ Don’t focus on what you can’t do,” she comforted, “ Concentrate on what you really can.”

But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings I’d made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.

While I’ll never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success--on my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card, reading: You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A, and I smiled.

What can you imagine the life 100 years from now? In fact, no one can know it from now, but scientists studying the evolution of the society, human life and the world in general make such kind of predictions based on scientific data. According to their publications in scientific journals, let’s see how the world might look like in 100 years from now.

Embedded computers

According to predictions by Ian Pearson and Patrick Tucker, by 2050 the human body will be embedded2 with computers, at least in a big part of the population, and by 2075 most of the citizens of the developed world will have some kind of chips built in their brains to make them work faster and share thoughts in the form of computer data.

Superhuman geniuses

Developments in genetic engineering will create human geniuses who will live forever. Does it sound unbelievable? It is sure that there will be a way to influence the brain to increase the intelligence level and with the help of genetics it will be possible to maintain human body for many years.

Global currency

According to futurists, it is very likely that a global electronic currency will be created. They say that the local and national currencies will be few until mid-century and will gradually disappear, let alone metal currencies.

Three world languages

There will be only three world languages: English, Spanish and Chinese. Other languages will have no chance to survive through time. Futurists say that many minority languages are already extinct and the fac t that all educated people in the world speak at least one of these languages will help in this way.

Oceans as a food source

It is one of the most “confident” future devel opments, according to scientists, because if the world population continues growing at the same rate, it will reach ten billion. So the food will not be enough. Thus the oceans will be used to raise fish and to provide populations with fresh water taken from the sea plants.

Journeys into space

Most futurists agree on this and believe that some kind of tourist attractions will be created in space, although they will be affordable only for wealthy people.

1.Why will there be only English, Spanish and Chinese according to the passage?

A. Because other languages won’t be important.

B. Because people who speak minority languages won’t be willing to speak their native languages.

C. Because more and more educated people speak English, Spanish and Chinese, which will cause many minority languages extinct

D. Because in the whole world all the people must not speak other languages.

2.What currency can we use to buy goods in the future from the passage?

A. local currency B. metal currency

C. national currency D. global electronic currency

3.The main idea about the passage is about        .

A. what the people look like 100 years  from now .

B. what the life of people is like 100 years from now.

C. what the environment is like 100 years from now.

D. what the culture is like100 years from now.
