During London’s 8-minute show at the Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, fans were thrilled by the performance of a young British singer with the famous rock guitarist Jimmy Page. Who was that curly-haired singer?
She’s Leona Lewis, a 23-year-old pop and R&B singer-songwriter, and the winner of the 2006 UK television talent show The X Factor. Her UK debut single(首張單曲唱片), A Moment Like This, broke a world record after it was downloaded over 50,000 times within 30 minutes.

Anthropologists are scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Items those men, women, and children left behind when they died – everything from clothing to jewelry and tools -- tell anthropologists a lot. And sometimes even their words survive.
Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in the Americas. The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago, long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.
Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface. They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal, Mexico, which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.
“There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies,” says Dr. Stephen Houston, of Brown University in the USA. “There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King,” he explains.
Houston, an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures, says the discovery is exciting because “it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write. It is like hearing voices from the past.”
But experts don’t know exactly what the writing says. Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher the puzzle.
“We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly,” says Houston. “There are many puzzles to be solved, and this is just one of them.”
1.According to the passage, what items do scientists often use to learn more about the past?
A.Clothing and jewelry. B.Books and stones.

A.It proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.
B.It allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.
C.It is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in the Americas.
D.It shows the people of the area have a written language.
3.Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?
A.It can allow them to better understand ancient societies.
B.So they can speak directly with ancient people.
C.It will help learn about the origins of modern languages.
D.They can learn stories told during that time.
4.The underlined expression “decipher the puzzle”(paragraph 6) most probably means “ ”.
A.discover when the Olmec people lived
B.learn why the Olmec civilization disappeared
C.learn how to speak Olmec
