The book focuses on nine sites, which range from the late Neolithic through the Middle Ages. Each of the states contains huma n rema ins, and the book expla ins what those rema ins can tell us about how our an cestors lived in ancient times.What makes the book especially engaging is that it tries to show how these people would have looked whe n they were alive. Each chapter features either a portrait (ofte n gen erated with the aid of computers) or a sculpture that puts flesh on dry bon es. In one particularly strik ing case, the author tells the story of Bleado n Man, an Iron Age farmer who died n early 2000 years ago. Using DNA from his bones, scientists were able to identify five people who were living in the same En glish farming village 2000 years later and who had DNA that was very similar to the ancient farmer —probably, but not certainly, these five are the farmer ' distant relatives. Then the scie ntists prepared a sculpture show ing how the an cie nt farmer probably looked whe n he was alive. The sculpture was compared to one of the moder n villagers with similar DNA —and, as Richards puts it, from their faces they could have been brothers. ” The picture that shows the desce ndant holdi ng up the sculpture of his ancient forebear is worth the price of admissi on.If you enjoy this book, you should also try Ian Wils on ' Past Lives: Un locki ng the Secretsof Our Ancestors, ” which explores several of the same cases and a few besides.56. Who is the author of the book Meet the an cestors"?A. Ia n Wils onB. Bleado nC. RichardsD. it ' not men tio ned57. The underlined word engaging" probably means ________ .A. popularB. attractiveC. detailedD. beautiful58. Which is true accord ing to the passage?A. The themes of the two books men ti oned in the passage are completely differe nt.B. You can find a portrait made by computers and a sculpture in each chapter in Meet thean cestors".C. It is con firmed that Bleado n Man and the five living farmers are relatives.D. You can find some new cases about our ancestors in “Past Lives ”.BChildhood is a happy time, right? Not necessarily.

Although the virus had no Ion g-lasti ng damage to a computer, its effects were far-reachi ng.Michael V atis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institution 'systems.The body of e-mail message says, here is what you ask for--- “ oncehe user ope ns it, the virus digs into the user 'address book and sends out messages to the first 50 address.

The projects may be with their school, neighborhood, or town, but the work of all volunteers is important. Students find that there are manyadva ntages to volun teeri ng.First, volunteering helps others. Many people complain about problems in our society. Volunteers are part of the solution to our problems! While it is easy to complain about things that are not right, the volunteer takes action rather than complaining. When a student spends time working at a retirement （退休） home, cleaning up a park, or teaching a younger student, the volunteer makes the world a better place.Second, being a volunteer makes students feel good about themselves. When a student volunteer knows that his or her efforts have made someone else 's life better, the volunteer feels great. Students always hear people saying that everyone should care about other people. Volunteers make it happen. Although some volunteer work is long or tiring, student volunteers end the day knowing they did the right thing. Their parents, teachers, and the public are proud of them. Knowing they did the right thing makes them feel better, even if they are tired.Finally, students learn that volunteering is fun. A group of students might volunteer to clean up a riverbed in early spring. It is fun to be with their friends, to enjoy the weather, and to picnic later in a beautiful, clean area. Other students might read to young children in a playgroup. It is fun to spend time with children and to have them smile and laugh. No matter what their ages or talents are, every student can be a volunteer. The work of student volunteers is a powerful force that makes the worlda better place.73.
