with some 1 archaeologists,I wasnt diggingobjects out of the ground,instead I was employed as an artist,drawing what they found.However,I was soon more interestedin the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and thats how my career in archaeology started.I still draw what I findin my work as a specialist on the Silk Road,the old trade routerunning from Egypt to Mongolia,and I also work on someunderwater projects too.In archaeology,my all-time hero is an American called RaphaelPumpelly.I first heard about him when I was a student on a tripto Turkmenistan,a country right in the heart of Asia.To getaround the country,I had to learn Russian so that I could speakto the local people.When I got there I thought,Wow!I m oneof the first Americans here!”Then an old man told me aboutan American archaeologist,Raphael Pumpelly,who was there doingthe same thing over 100 years ago.ArchaeologyJ s in my family.My wifes in the same 2profession,and,although our two boys aren t interested in the future inarchaeology themselves,we ve been on some great digs togetherand they love what we do because they get to travel with us.Last summer,we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America,in the high areas of the Andes mountain range.My bestexperience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast.There s very little rain and it s so dry that everything iskept as it was.In an old house,where the owner used to storegoods from the ships that came in,I picked up a 700-year-oldmat in front of the house and there,under it,after all thattime,was the house key with the owner s name

away.B.I have been diving today and found some objects for anexhibition.I ve just finished drawing them for my records.C.I wish my children weren,t more interested in archaeologyand wou1d not work hard in the open like their parents.D.It s nearly dark but Raphael s still busy digging in thatold house.He can be very annoying.He thinks he s the mostimportant person here.23.What is the writer,s main purpose in writing the text?A.To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires.B.To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career.C.To explain what he enjoys about being an
