To be honest, the role John plays in this film doesn't come up to my ________(expect), though he is one of my favorite actors.

 

expectations　

【解析】考查名詞詞義。句意：老實說，雖然約翰是我最喜歡的演員之一，但他在這部電影中扮演的角色沒有達到我的期望。expectation“期待；期望；預料”，短語come up to (one's) expectations“達到期望(的水平)”，與句意相符。

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.

It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.

In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!

Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.

How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.

1.The underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A．letters　　　　　　　B．photographs

C．paintings D．objects

2.Which of the following helped to preserve “Lindow Man”？

A．Ice and low temperature

B．Acid and water

C．Soil and energy

D．Bacteria and oxygen

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?

A．“Lindow Man” was named after the person who first found him.

B．Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.

C．“Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.

D．“Lindow Man” was good at work by hand.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．An Amazing Archaeological Discovery

B．Archaeology and History

C．What Is Archaeology?

D．The Death of “Lindow Man”

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview ？” he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“ Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right dicision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.
