supported his early interest in electronics. He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple

WASHINGTON（AP）—Good news for dinosaur fans：There are probably a lot more of them waiting to be discovered．At least，their fossils are．

Peter Dodson of the University of Pennsylvania and Steve Wang of Swarthmore College estimate that 71 percent of all dinosaur genera（种类）—groups of dinosaur species—have yet to be discovered．

“It’s a safe bet that a child born today could expect a very fruitful career in dinosaur paleontology（古生物学），”Dodson said in a statement．

The estimate appears in Tuesday’s issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．

Dodson—a professor of anatomy at Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine and professor at Penn’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences—first estimated the potential number of dinosaur genera in 1990 and is revising that upward．

The estimates are based on the rates of discovery—about 10 to 20 annually—and the recent increase in finds of fossils in China，Mongolia and South America．

Dodson suggests that 1,850 genera will eventually be discovered．So far 527 genera have been found．

Fossilization itself is a rare event，they note，and as many as half of the dinosaur genera that ever existed may have left no remains．

“I would never suggest that this prediction．however statistically（统计上地）sound．is the final word on dinosaur diversity，“Dodson added．”My intention is to fuel the discussion using the facts at hand，and this is the best estimate we can make with the data available．”

56．The best title for the passage would be______________．

A．Much more dinosaur once lived on the earth

B．Good news for dinosaur fans

C．A very fruitful career in dinosaur paleontology

D．Dinosaurs remain to be discovered

57．Who made the first estimate about the possible number of dinosaur genera?

A．The author of the passage．           B．Steve Wang．

C．Peter Dodson．                                          D．Both B and C．

58．Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．The number of dinosaur fans is getting larger and larger．

B．More dinosaur fossils are expected to be found in future．

C．The estimate was based on plenty of facts of dinosaur paleontology．

D．Not all the dinosaur genera left their fossils．

59．It can be inferred from the text that______________．

A．dinosaurs will return to the world once again

B．about 3700 dinosaur genera once lived on the earth

C．only half of the dinosaur fossils have been found so far

D．all dinosaur fossils have been find in China．Mongolia and South America

60．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph most probably means____________．

A．Enough research work has been done on dinosaur diversity

B．it is probable that more information about dinosaur diversity will be found in future

C．the conclusion drawn by Dodson is not exactly right

D．Dodson will continue his research work on dinosaur diversity

     OBERLIN, Kansas (AP)-A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed
in 1914, but its journey was much slower than Christmas. It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.
     The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from
her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.
     "It's a mystery where it spent most of the last century," Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.
     "It's surprising that it never got thrown away," he said. "How someone has found it, I don't know."
     Ethel Martin has passed away, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative. That's
how the 93-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel's, sister-in-law. She said she believed the card
had been found somewhere in Illinois.
     "That's all we-know," she said. "But it is kind of curious. We'd like to know how it got down there."
     "The card was placed inside another envelope with a modern postage stamp for the trip to Oberlin-the one
cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn't have covered it," Martin said.
     "We don't know much about it," she said. "But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape."
1. Who was supposed to have received the postcard?
A. Bernice Martin.
B. Ethel Martin.
C. Santa Claus.
D. Steve Schultz.
2. What seems quite mysterious is that _____.
A. how it was sent to a relative
B. the postcard was still in shape
C. where the old postcard was kept
D. the card was in a modern envelope
3. "the 93-year-old relic" refers to _____.
A. the Christmas card
B. an ancient cultural relic in Illinois
C. an envelope with modern postage
D. a house passed down by Ethel Martin
4. The best title of the passage would be _____.
A. A Special Christmas Card
B. Too Late Christmas Greetings
C. The Story of a Christmas Card
D. A Christmas Card Arrives Almost a Century Late
