In April 2014, the world’s oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101years lost in the ocean! The message was finally sent to the author’s granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel, Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing illegible(字迹模糊的), the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.
From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic coast with a nature appreciation group, he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researcher began a research for any living relatives of his. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old grandfather, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.
"It was almost unbelievable," Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather's bottle and message, as quoted in The Local. "That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face."
Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum Hamburg until May 1. After that, the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
Previously, the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at sea and was discovered in April 2012, according to Guinness World Records.
1.When Konrad picked up the bottle from the sea, __________.
A.he thought it would bring him good luck.
B.he noticed the postcard inside immediately.
C.he decided to uncover the secret of the bottle.
D.he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first.
2.Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?
A.He expected his grandfather could find the postcard.
B.He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.
C.He believed his postcard would be kept secret at sea forever.
D.He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.
3.What can be the best title for this passage?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
I am a vegetarian(素食主义者).Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior.I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it.But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.
Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives.There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases.From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet.While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.
The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily.Creativity is almost as important as commitment.It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad.But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly.
Not everyone wants to be vegetarian.Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style.Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful.Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.
Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others.A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change.It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation.However, it fades over time.Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian.That’s why it is vital to be educated.Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein(蛋白质)your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect.People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet.Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial.It leads to diseases.Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs.However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.
1.According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______.
A.protect the wildlife
B.free people from diseases
C.rid people from strange behaviors
D.develop a better economy
2.What’s the underlined word temptation in Paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?
A.Unpleasant taste
B.Extreme attraction
C.Great consumption
D.Significant importance
3.Stylish vegetarians do not ______.
A.force others to be vegetarians
B.respect other people’s beliefs
C.turn down hosts gracefully
D.refuse an offer of meat
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Many people give up before their bodies can adjust to the transition.
B.Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition.
C.Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.
D.Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.
5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Reasons why the author became a vegetarian.
B.Important qualities required to be a vegetarian.
C.Advantages and disadvantages of being a vegetarian.
D.Common mistakes on the way to being a vegetarian.
