The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ,the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt.It was stolen in the 19th century,at the time when many explorers from Europe and America wanted to find the mummified bodies of Pharaohs(法老).They had heard stories of the Pharaohs being buried with treasures of great artistic, scientific and financial value.?
But when King Tut was discovered in 1922 in Egypt they realized the Pharaohs might have been buried with something else as well—curses(咒语).?
As soon as Englishman Howard Carter found King Tut's tomb,strange things started to happen.On the night of the discovery,Carter's canary(金丝雀) was killed by a snake.It was the same kind of snake found on a symbol worn by the Pharaohs on their foreheads. A few months later,Lord Carnarvon,the man who paid for Carter's trip,died suddenly in Cairo of unknown causes.By 1935,no fewer than 21 people connected with the discovery of the tomb had died. ?
After much argument over whether the curse of King Tut really existed,four years ago German scientist Gotthard Kramer tried to find it out for certain.He discovered that bacteria(细菌) on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths.“When this bacteria enters the body through the nose,mouth or eyes,”Kramer said,“it can result in illness or even death,particularly to those with bad health.”?
But perhaps the power of the curse is in the minds of those who believe it.Carter,the man who actually opened the tomb,lived to 66 before dying of natural causes.“All sensible people should dismiss(不予理会) these curse ideas as rubbish,”he said. ?

There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.
In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.
An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.
In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition; every person’s place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste（阶级） may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. An inactive society may result.
1.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To outline contrasting types of economic systems.
B. To explain the science of economics.
C. To argue for the superiority of one economic system.
D. To compare barter and money-exchange markets.
2.In the second paragraph, the underlined word “real” could best be replaced by _______.
A. valuable B. concrete C. absolute D. reliable
3.According to the passage, a barter economy can generate ______.
A. rapid speed of transactions B. misunderstandings
C. inflation D. difficulties for the traders
4.According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in the administered system?
A. Individual households. B. Small businesses.
C. Major corporations. D. The government.
5.Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion（标准）for determining a person’s position in a traditional society?
A. Family background B. Age
C. Religious beliefs. D. Custom
