Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems.It is the poorest of the poor.Only small sums are available for excavating(挖掘)and even less is available for publishing the results and preserving the sites once excavated.Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day.Besides, there is the problem of unlawful excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to businessmen at the highest price..
I would like to make a suggestion that would at once provide money for archaeology and reduce the amount of diggings against law.You might say that professionals excavate to get knowledge, not money.Moreover, ancient artifacts(古器物) are part of our global cultural heritage(遗产), which should be there for all to appreciate, not sold at the highest price.I agree.Sell nothing that has scientific value.But, you might reply, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value.Here, we disagree.In theory, you may be correct in saying that every artifact has hidden scientific value..
People can not help appreciate every unearthed treasure but there is not enough money even to put the finds in good order; as a result, they cannot be found again and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered.Indeed, with the help of the Internet, sold artifacts could be more reachable than are the pieces stored in museum basements.Before sale, each could be photographed and the list of the purchasers could be maintained on the computer.A purchaser could even be required to agree to return the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes.
1.What’s the problems that archaeology as a profession has to face?
A.Money and unlawful excavation. B.Effectively duplicates.
C.Scientific purposes. D.Excavation law.
2.To let most people enjoy ancient artifacts, the practical way could be_______.
A.putting them in the museum B.having sold artifacts returned
C.making use of the Internet D.solving the money problem
3.Which of the following four suggestions about archaeology is from the author?
A.No selling of any unearthed ancient artifacts.
B.Some money should be raised for the purpose.
C.Selling some unearthed ancient artifacts and having them returned when needed.
D.Ancient artifacts, our global cultural heritage, should be evenly shared by us all.
New York Times---( DINITIA SMITH )Tomorrow is the 433d anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.A recent survey shows that more people are watching him, reading him and studying him than ever before.
Consider the recent yearly conference of the Shakespeare Association of America in Washington, where more than 600 people who study or admire Shakespeare from 18 countries took in topics like ''Whither Attribution Studies,'' ''Unpopular Shakespeare'' and ''Sex Me Here,'' a talk on breast-feeding and Lady Macbeth.
''The national media is saying that fewer students' taking Shakespeare,'' Barbara Mowat, the editor of The Shakespeare Quarterly, observed in a speech at the conference.''But Shakespeare is thriving.'' The association's membership has increased by a third since 1990.
The Shakespeare business is so good these days that W.W.Norton is introducing a huge new collections of the plays into the already crowded field just in time for tomorrow's birthday anniversary.Priced at $44.95, ''The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition'' runs for 3,420 pages, offering introductions, illustrations and notes and three versions(版本) of ''King Lear.''
Today, movies and videos have made the plays even more accessible.Last year, ''William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet'' was No.1 at the box office when it opened, and it grossed nearly $50 million.In New York in January, crowds lined up in the freezing cold to see Kenneth Branagh's four-hour ''Hamlet.'' The students select a scene and then have a violent discussion about it.'' Influenced by films, professors are increasingly teaching students by having them perform the plays.

Did you ever wonder how some of your favorite foods, products or toys came about? Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention.Below, we found three mistakes we're thankful for turned out to be what they are.
.1.Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder.Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt.When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.
.2.In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(药剂师), to rewrite the formula(配方) for "Pemberton's French Wine Coca,” his popular headache treatment.Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated water.His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two C’s would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world –wide drink came into being.
.3.During World War II, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron—an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven(微波炉).While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted.He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels, and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook.In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.
