Alex felt restless. Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo, Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours    1    either an attack from the returning robbers or the    2 of a rescue party, but nothing had happened. He and Rosita had some    3    and a sleep, and now it was Hugo's turn to sleep after his meal. Rosita was    4    in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below. Alex threw himself down beside her.

    “I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, her eyes on the view outside. “I keep hoping I will __5    him somewhere.”

    “I'm sure he's okay,” answered Alex. “I'm pretty    6    the enemy thought it was a ground 7   . Anyway, they were too busy rushing to    8    in their jeep to    9    time firing at a condor (神鹰). I'm not worried about him. What I am worrying about, though, are the words on that    10    that was tied to Ruark's leg. I keep saying the words to myself: What about the cave? There's a two-meter hole at the back of it. No one will find it. There are so many caves ... The money they stole is hidden somewhere out there and I should hate them to come back and 11 it from under our noses.”

    “Well,” replied his sister, “you    12    what the man said. There are so many caves. At a 13  ,  I can see about two hundred of them dotted around. It could take a week to    14    in them all.” “Yes. It's a    15    hiding place, but I think we have one clue (线索)that might help us. Ruark was perched ()somewhere    16    enough for the tape to pick up their 17   . He was probably situated just above the entrance. Condors are not    18    tiny birds so he may have been on a shelf or an overhanging rock    19    enough to take his big feet and body.” Alex    20    closed his eyes against the strong light outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.

  In the early part of the twentieth century,racism was widespread in the United States.Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment.Marian Anderson(18971993)was an African American woman who gained fame as a con-cert singer in this climate of racism.She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood.When she applied for admission to a local music school In 1917,she was turned down because she was black.Unable to attend music school,she began her career as a singer for church gatherings.In 1929,she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there.Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe.

Then she returned the U.S.in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.

  Racism again affected Anderson in 1939.When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington,D.C,the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color.She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial over75,000 people.In 1955,Anderson became the first black soloist to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City.The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “head only once in a hundred years”.She was a U.S.delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.
