The Time Capsule(箱子) of Colorado Springs
In 1901, the citizens of Colorado Springs in the USA decided to collect every day items(物品) and to seal(密封) them in a steel box. The box was marked “To be opened after midnight, December 31st, AD 2000”, and was stored in the Colorado College library.
One hundred years later, on the appointed(约定的) day, 300 people gathered to watch the opening of the box. Many in the crowd were the descendants(后代) of people who had placed things inside the box.
When the box was opened after midnight, the contents(所容纳的东西) were in very good condition. There were newspapers, photographs, diaries, name cards, family trees, books and dozens of letters, including one written by Theodore Roo sevelt, who became the president of the USA later that year. One of Roosevelt’s friends lived in Colorado Springs at that time.
Many of the letters were addressed to their descendants. They describe(描述) the hopes that the people of 1901 had for the people of the next century. At that time, Colorado Springs had just a few thousand residents(居民). Now nearly half a million people live there.
Colorado College Library has scanned(扫描) the materials and put them on a website. Cecil Muller, whose grandfather had placed a collection of post-cards in the box, said that the time capsule was a great treasure. “This is a wonderful educational resource. We can learn so much about our history,” he said. “I never knew my grandfather, but not now I feel very close to him.”
In April 2001, a committee filled the time capsule with items from modern
Colorado Springs and resealed it for another hundred years.
66．A “time capsule”is
A．a collection of clocks and watches.
B．a machine for traveling through time.
C．a collection of items for people to look at in the future.
D．a collection of unwanted items.
67．The time capsule was opened on
A．December 31st, 2000. B．December 31st, 2001.
C．January lst, 2000. D．January lst, 2001
68．According to the passage, the crowd who watched the opening of the time capsule included
A．some people whose ancestors had put items in the box.
B．some people who had put items in the box.
C．the President of the USA.
D．Cecil Muller’s grandfather.
69．Many of the letters in the time capsule talked about A．the history of the town
B．the people who lived in the town.
C．the politics of the USA.
D．people’s hopes for the future.
70．Cecil Muller says that the time capsule

Riding the Trans-Siberian Railway
Last summer, after completing our work in China, I took a trip of a lifetime on the Trans –Siberian Railway. Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in
July, my wife and I traveled through some awesome(令人惊叹的) countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday.
The first leg took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of lnner Mongolia. At the Mongolian Republic border, we had a delay（耽误） while the wheels were changed because the railway gauge is a different size.
On our way to the capital, Ulan Baator（乌兰巴托）, we saw herdsmen on horseback looking after their cattle. There was a spectacular thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick tour of Ulan Baator.
Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at lrkutsk, a popular holiday resort（胜地）, where a tour group left the train, we passed a beautiful lake，the Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia as being covered in thick snow.
Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at the wrong time!
At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it was time for us to return to our home in London.
