A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Instit

ution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice.

"We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing," says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Insitution Archives. "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes," and the intern put the letter back. "The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it."

Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.

The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.

The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. "It was luckily in good shape," says Kapsalis, "and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online."

It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. "Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s," says Kapsalis, "and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to."

81.What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s____

A.It was recovered by the FBI

B.It was stolen more than once.

C.It was put in the archives for research purposes.

D.It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.

82.What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter____

A.They proved its authenticity.

B.They kept it in a special safe.

C.They arrested the suspect immediately.

D.They pressed criminal charges in vain.

83.What is Darwin's letter about____

A.The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.

B.His cooperation with an American geologist.

C.Some geological evidence supporting his theory.

D.His acknowledgement of help from a professional.

84.What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis____

A.Reserve it for research purposes only.

B.Turn it into an object of high interest.

C.Keep it a permanent secret.

D.Make it available online.

85.What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis____

A.Growing interest in rare art objects.

B.Radical changes in archiving practices.

C.Recovery of various missing documents.

D.Increases in the value of museum exhibits.

When you speak, write a letter or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. Peopl
e communicate with words. But do you think you can communicate without words？ A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "no". You nod and people know you are saying "yea". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you get messages from them all the time？

People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the things in the world and also about people and their ideas.

Books, newspapers, TV, radio and films can all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world, and what other people are thinking about.

People can communicate ______.

A．with words only

B．in many different ways

C．in letters and with drawings

D．with smiles, tears and hands

What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence？ A few
effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or fire from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multi-story residence or office building, it has made possible -- for better or worse -- the modern city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and space with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened if not killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for person with normal social impulses; by doing so it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes of this century, the breaking up of the multi-generational household. It has made the war chillingly more efficient than formerly. Perhaps though not provable (可证实), it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps--again not provable--by magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact it impartially disseminates (传播) the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant, the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意) of the malicious.

What is the main idea of this passage？

A．The telephone has helped to save people from illness and fire.

B．The telephone has helped to prevent wars and conflicts.

C．The telephone has made the modern city neither better nor worse.

D．The telephone has had positive as well as negative effects on us.

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming, he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work".

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to （）.

A.complain personally to the manager

B.threaten to take the matter to court

C.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

D.show their written proof of the purchase to the store
