    In the l8th century many foreign visitors came to the Great Pyramid.They were scholars，scientists, historians,explorers,etc. One of the most famous visitors to the Great Pyramid was Napoleon Bonaparte.He went to Egypt in1798. Besides his army, he took with him engineers, surveyors(测量员) artists and archeologists (考古学家).They surveyed, explored, and made drawings of the Great Pyramid. Their work was published in many books from 1809 to 1822 by order of Napoleon.

    There is an interesting note to this story about Napoleon on his visit to the Great Pyramid. He asked to be left alone in the King’s Chamber(国王墓室). When he came out, it was reported that he looked scared. When one of his assistants asked him if he had seen anything strange,he said that he didn’t want to talk about it,and that he never wanted it to be mentioned again. Years later, when he was dying in bed, a close friend asked him what really happened in the King’s Chamber.He was about to tell him but stopped.Then he shook his head and said, “No ,what’s the use? You’d never believe me.”As far as we know, he never told anyone and took the secret to his tomb. It is interesting to note that there is an unproved story that Napoleon had once mentioned that he was given some idea of his destiny（宿命）during his stay in the King’s Chamber.

    71.Which of the following did Napoleon NOT take to Egypt?

    A.Soldiers.        B.Actors.            C.Engineers.               D.Artists

    B.Napoleon asked to be left alone in the King’s Chamber because he had found something strange

    C.Napoleon and his men made some discoveries in the Great Pyramid

    and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton
    (骷髅) of a huge,extinct elephant,which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in l801.
         Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of
    flowers,fruit,and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted
    people,including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and
    portraits.
