题目列表(包括答案和解析)

　　Polly Jones lived on a farm．She had lived there all her life,all twelve years of it．Her father,who managed the farm,had just lifted the potato crop．Prices were high:he wanted to sell the crop as quickly as he could．

　　Polly wandered over the rough field looking for the smaller potatoes that the pickers had accidentally missed．She found one,then another,then a handful．She was pleased．They were delicious once cooked．Then she caught sight of something else．It looked like a piece of coloured stone．Polly picked it up and thought how pretty it was．She could see a pattern on it:a picture of a fish and a part of a leaf．She scraped（擦去）the soil away around her feet and found that she was standing on what seemed to be a piece of pavement（铺路石）．Stuck to another piece of stone was something small and round like a button．She realized it was an old coin．

　　The field was busy the next morning though not with potato pickers．In front of the house where the farm machinery usually stood were several cars and a policeman．A group of distinguished-looking men and women had appeared the morning after her father's telephone call．The local television station had shown some pictures of the field with Polly pointing to the place where she had found her pavement．It was proving to be of Roman origin and was being described as the most exciting thing that had happened in the area since the end of the Second World War．In those days an American airbase had occupied the site of the potato field．

　　A week later about forty students arrived from the local university．That afternoon a truck with equipment arrived．The excavation（挖掘）was officially under way．Permission had been given and the“dig”,as it was called,was expected to last several months．Polly wondered how the everyday work of the farm would get done with so many strange people around and cars coming and going all day long．All the unusual activity had made the cows and sheep restless．Her father said their cows produced less milk．

　　Still,it was interesting and great fun．They had let her keep the gold coin．

　　From then on,Polly wouhl always walk carefully over potato fields．
