She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason why she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other business find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people also had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems-mostly problems with communication. Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, form time to time, she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people liked herself. She began to write a newspaper called “Sixty Plus”, which focused on getting old. She wrote about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood. Anna Douglas used her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understood the reasons why problems began. She understood old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to understand his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young peoples music and to watch the most popular TV shows. “ Its important to know something about your grandchildrens word,” said Mrs. Douglas. “That means questioning and listening is not what old people do best.” She continued, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters. Never tell them that they are wrong. Dont give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”( )56. Anna Douglas began writing her newspaper column _. A. when she worked as the director of a school. B. after she became a businesswoman.

He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin “auctic”, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hasta”, meaning “under the spear(矛)”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle”; a sort candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auctions sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Christies and Sothebys in London and New York are world-famous. An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot One and continue the numerical order; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the form of a percentage of the price- the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding.( ) 60. Auctioned goods are sold _.A. for the highest price offeredB. at fixed pricesC. at prices lower than their true valueD. at prices offered by the auctioneer( ) 61.

A. useless goods B. spears C. various kinds of food D. property taken from the enemy( ) 63. In England a candle used to burn at auction sales _.A. because the auction sales took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to keep the auction room warmD. to limit the time when offers of prices could be madeC 14 Days from $ 3890 pp Fully inclusive from the USA Price covers: international airfares, local transportation, departure taxes and fuel charges, accommodation, all meals, entrance fees, guides and daily tours and visa fees for USA passport holders.*Days 1-2: USA-Shanghai Fly overnight to Shanghai, also known as the “Paris of the East”.

Plato is the person most closely thought of when talking about Atlantis. Plato described Atlantis as a culturally and scientifically advanced civilization that had existed long ago. The people of Atlantis had used their knowledge to enslave much of the world. Atlantis was defeated by Athens, but then all records of it were lost when a great flood destroyed both Athens and Atlantis. Did Atlantis ever exist? Or was it just a story to show what happened to people when they became too powerful? If it did exist, where was it? In looking for evidence of Atlantis, people have tried to imagine what sort of remains such a civilization might have left. Certainly there would have been tools, probably made of metal. In the late 1960s, a Greek professor, Spyridon Marinatos, discovered the remains of a Bronze Age city on the island of Thera. When digging the citys streets, he made discoveries of buildings that were highly ceramics (陶瓷) used for eating and sorting food, and also colorful wall paintings. Together, all these discoveries indicate that the city was once a wealthy and culturally rich society. But, around the year 1500 BC, a great disaster struck: a devastating volcanic eruption tire the island apart, probably killing everyone who lived there. Those who were not killed right away were buried along with the entire city under five meters of ash. The volcano also sent tidal waves around the Mediterranean, destroying other cities. The people of Thera disappeared from the face of the Earth. Was Thera the land of Atlantis? Some believe that Plato was actually relating the story of T
