Federal regulators(调整者) Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.

Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates（估计） more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.

The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.

"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.

Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.

The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.

There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.

The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.

The service could be in place by 2010.

What is the purpose of the approved plan?

A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.

B. To popularize the use of cell phones.

C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.

D. To promote the wireless industry.

The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____.

A. CTIA B. the Warning Alert and Response Network

C. FCC D. federal regulators

The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by _____.

A. the US federal government B. mobile phone users

C. the carriers themselves D. the law of the United States

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry

C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon

Archaeologists believe they are on the turning point of throwing light on the life of William Shakespeare — by excavating （发掘） what may have been the playwright’s dust hole．

Experts have begun excavating the ruins of New Place, Shakespeare’s former home in Stratford-upon-Avon, which was destroyed 250 years ago．Although little remains of the property, the team, led by Birmingham Archaeology, believes it has identified a dust hole used by the 16th century poet．

Small pieces of pottery （陶瓷） and broken clay pipe have already been found from a muddy hole on the site, which they claim could yield some of the most significant discoveries about Shakespeare in decades．The dig focuses on three areas of the property, which Shakespeare bought in 1597 when he returned to his home town from London having achieved fame — including the so-called knot garden at the back of the building．

Dr Diana Owen, Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which owns the site, said, “We do not know if the knot garden was an area used by Shakespeare — it may have been a yard simply used by his servants．But this could actually yield some fantastic results, especially if it was an area where rubbish was thrown or the dust hole was located．”

Kevin Colls, from Birmingham Archaeology, added, “Through documentary evidence we know Shakespeare lived at New Place but we have very little information regarding the layout （布局） of the house and gardens at this time．Through archaeological fieldwork, in particular the dig of structural remains and the recovery of artefacts, we hope to fill in the blanks．”

Until October, visitors will be able to watch archaeologists and volunteers at work as they excavate the remains of the house, which was knocked down in 1759．Experts hope to unearth evidence to support theories that Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous works at the property．

1．This excavation intends to ______．

A．know something about the playwright’s dust hole

B．search for some treasure in the dust hole

C．explore the life of William Shakespeare

D．find something that Shakespeare lost

2．New Place was destroyed in the ______ century．

A．15th B．16th C．17th D．18th

3．Small pieces of pottery and broken clay pipe on the site ______．

A．could show Shakespeare’s luxurious life

B．could lead to important discoveries about Shakespeare

C．could show us that Shakespeare lived at New Place

D．could prove when New Place was knocked down

4．The underlined phrase “the blanks” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______．

A．the ruins of New Place

B．the smallest pieces of broken pottery

C．three areas of the property

D．the layout of the house and gardens of New Place

5．What can we learn from the text?

A．Shakespeare used to live at New Place．

B．Shakespeare became famous after 1597．

C．Only his servants used the knot garden．

D．Dr Diana Owen owns Shakespeare’s property．
