　　Ever thought you’d get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair, or the scent(气味)of the sun?Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that．

　　The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was．It focuses on scent rather than sight．

　　The innovative(创新的)idea is the brainchild of curator(馆长)Robert Blackson．His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation．The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they’re not actually made from them．

　　A smell can often conjure up(召唤)memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won’t have been able to pick out before．

　　“There’s a whole variety of different smells, including some extinct flowers,”explains Blackson．“Some have been gone for hundreds of years．”

　　One extraordinary fragrance(香气)is the aftermath(灾难的后果)of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6, 1945．

　　There is also the smell of Cleopatra’s hair, based on incense(熏香)that was popular among ancient Egyptians．

　　The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred(烧焦的)material(the space station caught fire)．

　　Among the stranger smells is the“surface of the sun”．

　　“It is hard to sum up．It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in,”says Blackson．“It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal．If you can say something smells hot, this is it．”

　　A team of 11, including perfume designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition．James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants．

　　He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones．With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas(芳香)．

　　The exhibition runs until June 6．Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display．

     No matter what hairstyles youngsters wear, they will be looking good as they turn pages, thanks
to a new literacy (读写能力) project that inspires boys to read and rewards them with free haircuts.
George Cook ?, a sixth grader at Middle Township Middle School in Cape May Court House, is
just one of the 2010 Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners for his creative communitybased
project that offers reading inspiration.
     America's youngsters created some big ideas to get kids reading. This year, Youth Leaders for
Literacy is awarding 30 cash grants of $ 500 each to winners, totaling $ 15,000.
The National Education Association (NEA) joined forces with Youth Service America (YSA) to
develop Youth Leaders for Literacy to encourage community service through innovative (创新的)
youthdesigned programs that benefit others in their communities.  The national competition received
more than 200 entries (参赛作品)-an amount that continues to grow each year with the program's
popularity.
     "Educators and parents face a daily challenge of how to develop children's interest in reading,"
said NEA President Reg Weaver. "When youngsters are encouraged to brainstorm and design

     Developed in 2001, the youthled activities are started on NEA's Read Across America Day,
celebrated this year on Monday, March 3, and end during YSA's Global Youth Service Day,
scheduled for April 25-27, 2010. Attached is a list of the 30 grant winners being honored from
across the country.
     "The Youth Leaders for Literacy Grant winners demonstrate global caring and decisions,
showing the world that young people can be leaders today, not in some distant tomorrow," said
Steve Culbertson, president and CEO of YSA. "By combining the dynamics of leadership, service
and learning, the Youth Leaders for Literacy recipients build one of the most important skills-the
ability to read."

阅读理解。

     You may have heard the popular saying, "there are always more fish in the sea". But as many new
studies show, fish populations are changing, and not necessarily for the better.
     Consider the case of big, predatory (食肉动物) fish. These giants, like sharks and cod (鳕鱼), eat
other smaller fish. Big fish are an important part of the marine ecosystem (海洋生态系统) because they
keep down the numbers of smaller fish. Without fish that eat other fish, populations of smaller swimmers
would increase, eating more plants, and leaving less vegetation for other creatures, including future fish.
     As fierce as predators can be, they're no match for fishing technology. Many people love to catch
predatory fish like sharks, cod and tuna, and new studies suggest that over-fishing is threatening these
creatures near the top of the marine food chain.
     In one study, Villy Christensen and his colleagues looked at 200 past studies of marine life to learn
how fish populations have changed over time. Christensen reported that between 1910 and 1970, the
numbers of big predators decreased slowly, and that in 1970 their populations really started to drop.
Around that time, fishing ships began using new tools that led to more fish being caught. The numbers
have been falling quickly ever since.
     Reg Watson looked at the problem from the perspective of the fishermen. In the middle of the 20th
century, Watson reported, fishing boats didn't go far from home, and most fish were caught near the
shore. That was no longer true by the 1980s. By then, fishing had moved farther from shore, into the
open oceans, and was helped by the development of new technologies. But since the 1990s, something
has changed. Despite new technologies and more efforts, fishing operations have not continued to
develop.
     Scientists study historical data to understand the present, and this research is needed to forecast the
future of fish and fishing. And the forecast doesn't look good: large predator fish are becoming harder to
find, and soon may disappear.

1. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .

A. more big fish are breeding in the ocean
B. the fewer smaller fish, the more big fish
C. big fish are less important than smaller fish
D. the numbers of smaller fish are controlled by big fish

2. Why did the number of big predators begin to fall quickly in 1970?

A. Fishing ships began using new tools with which they could catch more fish.
B. There were fewer smaller fish than before.
C. There were more people catching big predators.
D. Their environment was being polluted by fishing ships.

3. Which of the following would scientists most probably agree with?

A. It may soon be difficult to find large predator fish.
B. It will cost much more in the future to catch big fish.
C. Smaller fish still give the fishing industry a bright future.
D. It is tough for researchers to forecast the future of fish.

4. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The decrease of the number of smaller fish has changed the marine food chain.
B. Big fish have to live in the deep sea to avoid being caught.
C. Over-fishing with new technology accounts for the decrease of the number of big fish.
D. The decreasing populations of small fish lead to fewer big fish.
