foundThe White CityIn 2015,a team of explorers to Honduras in search ofthe Lost City of the Monke Godled to the discovery ofthe White City.They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country which is known forpoisonous snakes,vicious jaguars and deadly insects.It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanishconquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion-where Queen Cleopatra often visited.But the cities werent found until 1992,when a search in Alexandria watersfound that the two cities had been flooded for centuries.Artifacts(史前器物)showedthat the cities once highlydeveloped as a trade network,which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered the Lost City in the Cloudsin 1911.A combination of palaces,plazas,templesand homes,Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule.The city,which was abandoned in the16th century for unknown reasons,was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centurieskeeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in homers The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild.But in 1871,explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other,the earliest dating back to about5,000 years before.It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layercontained the lost city of Troy and that it

make less than$60,000 a year will be exempt(获豁免).Other drivers,includingmotorcyclists,the city s civil servants,disabled drivers and the trucking industry,all want discounts or exemptions,which might not be a good sign.If done right,road pricing could be expanded beyondManhattan.New Yorkcan learn from othercities.Singapore,for instance,which has had pricing for decades,adjusts prices regularly.It can also learn frommistakes.London,which rolled out its pricing in 2003,is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber.Stockholm exempted too many vehicles,which caused a drop in

food,youllhave to figure out how to feed yourself.Many plants in the wild areedible,but many are also poisonous.So it is necessary to learn how to determinewhether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning.Some plants can be deadly,and even if you follow theseguidelines perfectly,there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill.Prepare yourself forwilderness outings by learning about the local plants,and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants.Even ifyou are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe,remember that,depending on your activity level,the human body can go for days without food,and youre better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous,so go forward very slowly and carefully.First,hold a smallportion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes.Do not put the plant in your mouth.If you noticeany burning,tingling(刺痛),or other reactions,discontinue testing.Second,place another small portion of theplant part on your tongue.Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes.Discontinue testing ifyou notice any reaction.Third,chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes.Chew the plant well,anddo not swallow.Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction.Fourth,swallow the small portion of the plant.Wait8 hours.Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water.If you feel sick,immediately throwup what you eat and drink plenty of water.If activated charcoal(活性炭)is available,take that with the water.12.Whats the meaning of the underlined world“edible”in paragraph 1?A.Suitable for using as food.B.Widely spread.C.Existing in large quantities.D.Not widely known.13.What can we know from paragraph 2?A.Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B.Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C.Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than
