Clothes made in China were worn in European countries thousands of years before the first export factories sprung up(涌现出来). A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi, was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.

Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved(保存完好)mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal valley of the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing.

Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during the first world war, but was found to be thousands of years older. Studying Otzi shows that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7,000 years old, the knife belonged to the time hundreds years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzi's tattoo(纹身)shows that he might have been a person who practiced magic, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.

There are still thousands of mysteries about Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse(咒语). Some researchers believe that Otzi's curse is still effective and will bring bad luck upon those who trouble his dead body. Indeed, several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man have already died.   (From Reuters 2007/12/30)

60. When did Otzi possibly live?

A. During WWI.                      B. about 7,000 years ago.

C. about 5307 years ago.                    D. about 1,000 years ago.

61. How was Otzi's identity probably found?

A. With the help of the knife he used.

B. With the help of the arrows.

C. Through the fur worn by Otzi.

D. Through the patterns pricked(刺)onto the skin.

62. What can we learn from the story?

A. Otzi might be named after valley where he was found

B. Otzi’s arrows and knife were made in China.

C. Otzi must have once visited ancient China.

D. No one dare to see Otzi's dead body again.

阅读理解。
     As a young boy, I lived in a poor suburban neighborhood. I often wandered around the
neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for
some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy.
     One day, I knocked at an old woman's door and asked if she needed her walls washed.
She asked why I wasn't in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn
and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much
that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I
suppose you want to be paid now," she said.
     "Yes, ma'am, I do."
     She asked what my fee was. I hadn't thought about this and made no answer. She said,
"Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with
dollar bills. She said, "Though you've done a fine job today, that isn't something you should
be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I
also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I'll reward you when
I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible."
     I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I
needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised.
She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time
I showed her I had an "A" or "B".
     I'll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her
generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.
