I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived on weekdays, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!

And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza ( 狂欢 )?

Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book—it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises —and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates ( 异乡客 ).

I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role—as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student—in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.

Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.

1 ． Why did the author skip school on that day?

A ． Because her parents left home early. B ． Because it was a cold winter morning.

C ． Because she was fascinated by a novel. D ． Because she hated to take the biology exam.

2 ． What did the author think is the source of true joy?

A ． Reading by the fire. B ． Travelling in Spain.

C ． Breaking the regulations. D ． Being occupied by one’s passion.

3 ． Which can best replace the underlined phrase “ braiding itself into ” in the last paragraph?

A ． Entering. B ． Destroying.

C ． Mending. D ． Blocking.

4 ． What can we infer from the passage?

A ． I was tired of my real-life roles.

B ． I learnt how to write on the internet.

C ． Hemingway skipped school when he was young.

D ． Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.

King Tut, Egypt's famous boy king, was buried with many valuable objects. A dagger （匕首） discovered in his tomb has recently attracted extra attention. Researchers have concluded that the dagger was probably made from a special material.

King Tut was only about nine years old when he became ruler of Egypt more than 3,300 years ago. The young king died when he was just 19. His body was buried in a tomb filled with objects that people believed he would need in the afterlife.

In 1922, Howard Carter discovered Tut's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Up to now, it was the best preserved ancient Egyptian tomb ever found. In 1925, Carter found the dagger which has a gold handle and an iron blade （刀片） .The blade had confused experts because iron was hardly used at that time in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was so rare that it was considered more valuable than gold. Where did the iron for the blade come from?

Around the time of King Tut, ancient Egyptians started using a new word for iron that translates as “iron from the sky”. This led some experts to believe that the iron for the blade came from a meteorite （陨石） .But studies of the dagger carried out in the 1970s and 1990s didn't support that idea.

That's where modern technology comes in. Researchers used a new technique to examine the blade. They discovered that it was made up of iron and other materials found in meteorites. After comparing it to several meteorites, they even found its possible match-a meteorite that landed in northern Egypt thousands of years ago.

Scientists hope the new study will lead to more discoveries about other ancient Egyptian relics. “It would be very interesting to analyze more Pre-iron Age objects and we could gain precious discoveries.” Daniela Comelli, who is a professor, said.

1 ． What do we know about Tut's tomb?

A ． It was built when he was 9. B ． It was perfectly kept when discovered.

C ． It has a lot of iron objects in it. D ． It was the first tomb to be found.

2 ． Scientists pay extra attention to the dagger because ________.

A ． it is King Tut's favourite object B ． its blade is made of iron

C ． it was more valuable than gold D ． it leads to more discoveries

3 ． What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A ． The iron. B ． The material. C ． A meteorite. D ． The blade.

4 ． The researchers used modern technology to show ________.

A ． more valuable objects are hidden in the tombs B ． iron is widely used in ancient Egypt

C ． ancient Egyptian objects are excellent D ． Tut's dagger was likely made from a meteorite
