  (From a newspaper)“… She was married to an officer in India long ago, and she had a life of physical adventure(冒险) as exciting as her poetry. Her husband could cross rivers using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones. He died when she was only 39. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life, leaving a young son in England.”

  I stared at the paper,  (1)  reading, and couldn't help thinking.

  Crocodiles are  (2)  animals as a rule, but they can  (3)  like lightning when they want to. And they don't mind hurrying  (4)  they're hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers,  (5)  on fish mostly; but what's a little fish for a fifteenfoot crocodile? They ate people, fisherman or anyone else  (6)  enough to get too near: women doing the  (7) , or children playing at the water's edge. A hungry cro's mouth  (8)  over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can  (9)  in a man in two bites(咬).

  That woman's husband crossed rivers  (10)  from one cro's back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done  (11)  before the creature could see what was happening. It was  (12)  a brave, active man; and no doubt he  (13)  with practice. He could never look back  (14)  crossing.

  The wife used to watch him -I felt  (15)  of that. She lived for the adventure, the  (16)  excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers, snakes… It's no wonder she wrote  (17)  poetry.

  Then he  (18) . I imagined how she felt. Was there another man  (19)  him in India, even in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇).“I must go, too,” she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A  (20) , probably, to her head.

  But her young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well, what do you think?

     Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave
paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison (野牛) that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow.
Your first question would probably be"Who did this?"
      This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the
boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called
Cro-Magnons.
     Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets that look familiar
too. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls (公牛 ),
which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller
animals, such as bison, stags (牡鹿) and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal.
     To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals.
One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the
Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and
a bird.
     Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some
magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring luck? There is one thing the
paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons had a sense of wonder about the world. They looked at beauty
and they understood it. 
1. The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____.
A. pull the reader into the story

C. give the reader good directions to find the caves
D. compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people
2. Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____.
A. boys
B. tools
C. dead men
D. animals
3. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. anyone can find cave art
B. the Cro-Magnon people are a mystery
C. the Cro-Magnon people knew magic
D. the cave paintings of Lascaux are excellent
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Cave paintings are beautiful.
B. Who found the beautiful cave paintings?
C. The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.
