An ancient Egyptian mummy thought to be that of Pharaoh Ramses I(法老一世)has returned home after more than 140 years in North American museums. The body was carried off the plane in Cairo in a box covered in Egypt’s flag.

The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled 3,000 years ago. The US museum acquired it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is thought to have bought it from Egyptian garve robbers in 1860. The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.

Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities(文物最高委员会), traveled from the US with the body and said it would be moved next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt. “We are not 100% sure that mummy is that of Ramses I,” said Mr. Hawass. “But we are 100% sure that it is of a king.”

Atlanta’s Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech scanning equipment indicated it was likely to be that of Ramses I. The museum website said it had been acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum. It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had came across a tomb filled with royal mummies at a site near Luxor.

Mr. Hawass praised the handover as “a great, civilized gesture”. And he appealed to other world museums to return Egypt’s antiquities, particularly the Rosetta Stone in the Britain Museum and the Bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin Museum.

A. the Luxor Museum

Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife    36  .
John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the    37   of the ten people who have saved the life of others.
John had been studying in his room when he heard 38 . When he and his father rushed outside, they    39   that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed（刺）   40   with a knife by her ex-boyfriend（前男友）. The man ran from the 41  and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden    42   very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.
It was John’s quick    43   and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of the    44   people for bandages（绷带）, but when nobody could put their hands on anything, his father got some tea towels（毛巾）and    45   from their house. John used these to dress the most severe    46   to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the    47   and ambulance arrived.
“I’m    48   of what I did but I was just doing what I had been    49  ,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When   50  John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “   51 is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid52   that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real   53  .”
John and the nine other lifesavers also attended a    54   reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister before    55   their awards last night.

The Olympic flame:

The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred (神圣的) flame burned at the altar（神坛）of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.

Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.

The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.

Olympic motto:

“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.

Olympic oath(宣誓)

“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”

Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.

66. The Olympic flame was first burned at _______ in modern times.

A. the 1920 Games B. the 1924 Games

C. the 1932 Games D. the 1936 Games

67. From the passage we can learn ________.

A. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games

B. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games

C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games

D. The Olympic torch has burned since 1924

68. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. There was no athlete’s oath in the 1896 Olympic Games.

B. The 1920 Olympic games was held in Amsterdam.

C. The judge from the host country takes the same oath as the athletes does.

D. Dideon wrote Citius, Altius, Fortius for the Olympic Games.

Each Indian(印第安人) was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself. But his playmates(游戏伙伴) would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.

The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse. So an Indian’s name told his record or described the kind of man he was.

A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a batter name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names—all good and each better than the last.

An Indian’s names belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.

Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticed deed. I know of only three of four times when this happened. It is the rarest honor for a person—the honor of assuming(承担) his father’ name.

1.An Indian could be given the second name by__________.

A. his father B. the enemy C. the chief of the tribe D. his childhood friends.

2.The greatest honor an Indian could earn was__________.

A. a victory in his first battle against the enemy. B. a name given by the chief.

C. a ceremony to get his real name. D. the right to use his father’ name.

3.If an Indian had more than ten names, it means that___________.

A. many people in the tribe liked him. B. he was a great fighter.

C. he had a lot of friends. D. he had fought in fewer than ten battles.

4.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant.

B. The life name of an Indian was earned in battle.

C. An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself.

D. The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.
