     BEIJING (AFP) - Archeologists in China have uncovered more than 3，000 dinosaur footprints，
state media reported，in an area said to be the world’s largest grouping of fossilized hones belonging
to the ancient animals．
     The footprints，believed to be more than 100 million years old，were discovered after a
three-month excavation(发掘、出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong，
the Xinhua news agency reposed．
     The footprints range from 10 to 80 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in length，and belonged to at
least six different kinds of dinosaurs，including tyrannosaurs，the report said Saturday．
     Wang Haijun，a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，said the footprints faced
the same direction, Xinhua said．
     This indicated a possible migration or a panic escape by plant-eating dinosaurs after an attack by
predators(食肉动物)，Wang added．
     Archeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng，known as “dinosaur
city．”The region has seen two major digs since 1964，and experts say the discovery of so many
dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of
years ago．

     The men dressed as police officers stole about $200 million worth of art from the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum early this morning.
     The two burglars(窃贼)knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the
two security guards who were on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made
the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two
burglars tied the guards up with tape.
     The two men spent about two hours in the museum. During that time, they stole 11 paintings and
an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt.
     A maintenance(保卫)worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.
     One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt's works, "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee." It was a
very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
     Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact
be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market
for nearly a century. According to law enforcement officials, this is considered to be the biggest theft
ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for
the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.
     Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others.
There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
     Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum's security system. They believe that
this is a "professional job", because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they
wanted. Investigators have already questioned the museum's guards extensively. They would not give
the names or ages of the guards, but one investigator said the Gardner hires and trains its own security
staff. So far, the guards have not been identified as suspects in the case. An investigator said that anybody having any information about the robbery should contact the Boston Police Department immediately.

1. We can infer from the passage that .

A．the security guards didn't identify the false policemen
B．the police had accurate ideas of the robbery after investigating
C．the burglars didn't dare to sell the stolen things on the market

3. Which of the following best explains "demand a ransom for the paintings"?

A．Hide the paintings in a secret place.
B．Send the paintings to some foreign countries.
C．Ask for money to give the paintings back.
D．Change them into more valuable things.

4. The investigators believe that this is a "professional job" because the burglars .

     The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent
Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.
     Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds
people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing－he looks
exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the
nation's leader is that he is very nice!
     The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a
chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes
very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
      Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters
and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government.
Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline
gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his
First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).
     The film is 100% American. However, if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job
running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!

1. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To tell the reader about the American government.
