Reading about history is nice, but finding ties to long-ago historical events in your own backyard is really exciting．
In their heavily populated area, neighbors Adam Giles,13, and Derek Hann．12, uncovered pieces of glass that looked quite different from what’s used today．“After digging about two feet down, I came across an interesting bottle,” Derek said．The bottle had a “pontil scar” on the bottle, an indication that it was hand-blown rather than machine made．It also had the name “Fraser” on one side．
Adam found remains of a green bottle and some very thick brown glass—again, far different from today’s．
After doing research on the computer, the boys contacted Aimee Wells of the county’s Cultural Resources office．She showed them a computer program that digitally puts old maps over modern satellite photographs．
Bingo! Their back yards were once part of a military（军事的） encampment（营地） called Camp Alger used by Ohio soldiers on their way to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898．
So how do a few bottles get connected to a brief war that was more than a century ago? “We get there by good judgment,” Wells said．“We know the time period of the bottles and what happened in that area．” Anyone can dig a hole, but archaeologists seek a deeper understanding．How do objects found relate to things around them?
When Derek and Adam realized that a solider might have held that Fraser bottle 110 years ago, they wondered what he might have been thinking．What did he see as he looked around him? How did he pass the time waiting to go into battle?
Historical records show that while waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger played baseball, played instruments and walked seven miles to the Potomac River once a week for baths．A spread of strange fever forced the closing of the camp, and there are no buildings to study．“What’s left is only what’s in the ground,” said Wells．
Derek’s and Adam’s back yards have joined the 3,400 places listed on the county’s register of archaeological sites．The boys were given tips on how to dig effectively and safely, and on how to document the location of items found．
The official record of their finds serves as another piece of the puzzle for historians seeking to form a more complete story of what happened．
“Not everyone is going to have historical objects in their own yard,” Wells said．“That’s okay．Make your own time capsule and bury it．What would you want people to know about your life years from now?”
63．What is the passage mainly about?
A．How Adam Giles and Derek Hann dug out the remains of an ancient military encampment．
B．What Adam Giles and Derek Hann found in their back yard and its relationship with an encampment．
C．The great contribution Adam Giles and Derek Hann made to the cause of archaeology．
D．The tips on how to dig out ancient objects buried under the ground safely and effectively．
64．From the passage, we can see that the boy’s discovery _______．
A．includes all kinds of hand-made and machine- made glass．
B．has helped historians find out what happened in 1898．
C．couldn’t have been meaningful without Aimee Wells’ help．
D．has added the county to the list of archaeologist sites．
65．When Wells said “We get there by good judgment．” （Paragraph 6）, she meant that_______．
A．they have established the ties to Camp Alger by finding out the time period of the bottles．
B．they have figured out how to get to the place where the brief war happened．
C．they have managed to dig out the bottles in the back yard safely with common sense．
D．they were able to locate the soldiers who used the Fraser bottles 110 years ago．
66．Which of the following fits the description of historical records?
A．The soldiers in and around Camp Alger delighted in playing basketball in their spare time．
B．When Camp Alger was forced to close, all the buildings there were destroyed．
C．The soldiers in and around Camp Alger often buried some bottles underground as time capsules．
D．Camp Alger was forced to close because of a spread of a strange fever．

Daniel Defoe (about 1660～1731) was an important novelist in the English literature(文学). When he was young, he served as a soldier and had been to Spain, Italy, France and Germany.

Mark Twain tells a boy’s story in The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home. His father drinks too much alcohol and always beats him.

We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. As we are used to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is nothing but hearsay and rumor (谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.
That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative understanding to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the explanation he placed upon those facts.
48. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.
A. doing a medical experiment B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition D. doing scientific reasoning
49. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.
A. a message may be changed when being passed on
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Active learning is less important.
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.
