It is usually a strong box made of some very strong material, so strong that it should last for hundreds or thousands of years. Inside it you put things such as a letter,a.CD,a photo,a newspaper of some date or a diary.The idea is that when people in t he future open up the time capsule,they’ll be able to see what life was like in the past.Until now, all the time capsules have been left for people in the future to find. But this one is the first that has been sent from now to the past! I don’t understand how it’s going to be done,but I think it’s a really good idea.

Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government.The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia. Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels. With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet <舰队> whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years IOn these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He' s travels. After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and tooexpensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.56. Why did the Chinese King want Zheng He to sail to many different countries?A.

It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster<怪兽> kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 she decided to bee a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: "I dreamt that my little baby came to life again--- that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived."In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night,Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in1851.51. What do we know about the story Frankenstein?A. It was really written by Mary Shelley’s husband.B.

She was educated at her local school.D. She became very rich because of the story Frankenstein.<C>I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable<可控制的> and uncontrollable cau ses, so things they can’t control bee a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control ev erything. Once you understand this, it bees easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often aspossibly so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous--- then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.56. Who wrote this passage?A. A reporter.B. A sportsman.C. A patient.D. A professor.57. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because ______.A. most are not very important.B. they are not the real causes of the problem.C. they cannot be controlled by people.D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time.58. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A. Go swimming often to get used to it.B. Avoid going to the swimming pool.C. Find a swimming teacher.D. Imagine watching others swim.59. What is true about nervousness according to the passage?A. It usually has only one cause.B. It is usually caused by people.C. People can easily manage it.D. Most people suffer from it.60. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience.B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness.C. To help people remember their fears.D. To explain the dangers of nervousness.。
