Its per capita income has doubled. after a decades reforms.20.Man is one of a number of animals that make things, but man is the only one that depends for its very survival on the things he has made. That simple observation is the starting point

29、 for an ambitious history programmed that the BBC will begin broadcasting in which it aims to tell a history of the world through 100 objects in the British Museum (BM). A joint venture four years in the making between the BM and the BBC, the series features 100 15 minute radio broadcasts, a separat

30、e 13 episodes in which children visit the museum at night and try to unlock its mysteries, a BBC World Service package of tailored omnibus editions for broadcasting around the world and an interactive digital programmed involving 350 museums in Britain which will be available free over the Internet.

31、 The presenter is Neil MacGregor, the BMs director, who has moved from the study of art to the contemplation of things. Objects take you into the thought world of the past, he says. When you think about the skills required to make something you begin to think about the brain that made it. From the f

32、irst moment this series is radio at its best: inventive, clever, and yet always light on its feet. In the mid-17th century Archbishop James Usher, an Irish prelate and scholar, totted up the lifespan of all the prophets mentioned in the Old Testament and concluded that the world had been created on

33、the night preceding October 23rd 4004 B.C. Mr. Macgregor, a more modern historian, begins nearly 1.8m years before that with the Swiss Army knife of the stone age, a hand axe found by Louis Leakey at Moldavia Gorge in Tanzania in the 1930s. Discovering how to chip stones to make a tool that would cu

34、t flesh was the moment man learned to be an opportunist. Once invented, the hand axe would hardly change over lm years. It became a passport to the world, and was carried from east Africa to Libya, Israel, India, Korea and even to a gravel pit near Heathrow airport where one was buried 600,000 years

35、 ago. Mr. Macgregor is less interested in advertising the marvels of the 250-year-old universal museum he heads than in considering who made the objects he discusses. That involves drawing together evidence of how connected seemingly disparate societies have always been and rebalancing the histories

36、 of the literate and the non-literate. Victors write history; the defeated make things, he says. This is an especially important distinction when considering Africa. The great Encyclopedia Britannica of 1911 assumed that Africa had no history because it had no written history. The statues of black p

37、haraohs that Mr. Macgregor discusses in an early programme, for example, are the best visual evidence that a Nubian tribe once seized control of ancient Egypt and that Africans ruled over the Nile for more than a century. The BMs curators spent two years choosing the objects Mr. MacGregor examines.

38、In particular, they sought out things that would help him draw out universal themes. Periclean Athens and Achaemenid Iran existed at more-or-less the same time, between 500 BC and 450 BC. By examining objects from each place, Mr. MacGregor is able to compare two different ways of constructing a high

39、ly efficient state and nimbly reassesses Athens in the context of the Persia it was fighting. The importance of trade is another theme. Silver pieces of eight were a passport to trade, and, as the first object of a global economy, a key step in the history of money. Minted in South America from the

40、end of the 15th century, they crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. So widely were these silver coins used that interruptions in the production of silver in Mexico and Peru had a severe knock-on effect. In Europe silver shortages led to a sudden massive expansion of the money supply and the

41、hyperinflation of the mid-17th century. Mr. Macgregor also uses coins, the simplest common sign of a centralized rule, to explore the personification of power as well as the history of money and of trade. In the Middle East the head of the Byzantine emperor was stamped on coins for several centuries

42、. But in the early 690s, for example, Umayyad diners from Damascus suddenly switched from displaying heads of rulers to showing the Shahabad, the declaration of belief in the oneness of Allah. It was the first time political power, as represented by coinage, was connected to a set of unchanging univ

43、ersal ideas rather than a person. Of the 100 objects, only one has not been selected yet. Mr. Macgregor is waiting until the last possible moment to pick out the best symbol of our own time.Which of the following statements about the history programmed is NOT true A Hundreds of museums are involved

44、in it. B It features altogether 113 broadcasts. C It takes four years to make the programme. D People can watch the programme on the Internet. 21.What is the favorite drink in IrelandA. coffeeB. stoutC. brandyD. fresh milk22.My father was a gruff man. I couldnt remember the last time he had tenderly

45、 stroked my cheek, tousled my hair or used a term of endearment when calling my name. His diabetes had given him a short temper and he screamed a lot. I was envious when I saw other fathers plant gentle kisses on their daughters foreheads or impulsively give them a big bear hug. I knew that he loved

46、 me and that his love was deep. He just didnt know how to express it. It was hard to say I love you to someone who didnt say it back. After so many disappointing times when I would flinch from his sharp rebuff I began to withdraw my own warm displays of affection. I stopped reaching out or hugging o

47、r kissing him. At first this act of self-restraint was conscious. Later it would become automatic, and finally it was ingrained. The love between us ran strong but silent. One rare evening out, when my mother had successfully coaxed my usually asocial father to join us for a night in the town, we were sitting in an elegant restaurant that boasted a small but lively band. When it struck up a familiar waltz tune, I glanced at my father. He suddenly appeared small and shrunken to me not powerful and intimidating as I had always perceived him.Which of the following is NOT true about the father A
