阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

We often talk about ourselves as if we have genetic defects (基因缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   36  !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38   for years. These stories may have no   39    in fact. But they can set   40   expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41   my development? I was never   42   to work on cars or be around tools. When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the   43   for the whole nation!

Six years later,   44  , I was working on my doctor’s degree. My professor, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did  45    and things I couldn’t do. On the  46    side, I took down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the other side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me   47   I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   48   and told him about my   49   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “Why is it that you can solve   50   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that   54   we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can   55   in almost anything we choose.

Terry Herbert, 55, of Staffordshire, the UK, has used a metal detector (探测器)for the past 18 years to look for treasure. He’d never found anything especially valuable. But on July 5, he made a very important discovery, which also changed the way the British look at history. In a field near his home, Herbert found a huge number of ancient artifacts. The finding was announced on September 24.

Archaeologists(考古学家) are surprised by the size of the discovery. There are more than 1,300 pieces. The discovery is much bigger than any other from the Anglo-saxon era(盎格鲁撒克逊时代)，said Roger Bland of the British Museum. Bland said some experts think treasures of this kind must have belonged to a king but they couldn’t be certain.

The artifacts are thought to date from between AD 675 and AD 725, a time that is sometimes called the Dark Ages. The time was marked by frequent fighting. The gold in the collection weighs 5 kilograms. It suggests that England at the time was richer than historians thought.

Why were the gold and silver treasures buried? Archaeologists believe it could have been to hide them from enemies, a common practice at the time.

The findings could become one of Britain’s top archaeological finds. So far, experts have looked at 1,345 pieces and there are still more to come. It may take a year to look at the whole finding.

Herbert found the treasure while he was searching in a friend’s field over five days in July. He said his discovery was more fun than winning the lottery. “This is what treasure hunters dream of, finding stuff like this. The great amount there is just unbelievable,” he said.

1、Terry Herbert used a metal detector to search for treasure because     .

A、he had researched the area and was sure there was treasure there.

B、he was very interested in British history.

C、he wanted to be an archeologist

D、he enjoyed searching for treasure

2、Herbert’s discovery is very important because     .

A、the treasure he found belongs to an ancient English king.

B、the treasure has changed people’s understanding of early English history.

C、the treasure is proving a big help to the British economy.

D、it is the find that many British treasure hunters have been hoping for years.

3、On the basis of the article, which of the following is TRUE?

A、It might take three years for scientists to look through all of the treasure.

B、Ancient English people buried treasure in the fields for future use.

C、At the time England was a more violent and religious land than historians thought.

D、Herbert prefers the fun of treasure hunting over the money he will earn for his discovery.

4、Which of the following headlines best sums up the article?

A、British treasure hunter makes big find.        B、Scientists find out about the dark ages.

C、How to find treasures using a metal detector.  D、Archeologists win big lottery prize.

He pretended to be a pilot and got free rides on international airlines to countries around the world. He wrote fake checks and stole several millions of dollars from banks, hotels, and airlines. He lied and got jobs by impersonating a doctor, a lawyer, and a university professor, all before he was twenty-one years old. Does this sound like the story to movie? It is. But it is also tree. This is the story of Frank Abagnale’s life of crime told in Abagnale’s book Catch Me if You Can and in the movie by the’ same name. Although the movie is based on the book, there are several important differences between the two.

Probably the one thing that really sets apart the book from the movie is the point-of-view of the story. The book, co-written by Abagnale and a professional writer, is told in Abagnale’s own words. In the book, he tells the reader, “I did this. This is how and this is why.” But in the movie, the story is told from a third person’s point-of-view. This point-of-view limits the details available to viewers of the movie.

Because the writer of the movie could not include many of the details about Abagnale’s crimes and motives, the writer had to change things to make the story understandable for viewers. For example, Agagnale explains in the book how he used his knowledge of the banking system’s number codes to commit fraud (诈骗). In the movie, Abagnale has detailed knowledge of printing and check design, like a kind of criminal genius. The movie’s writer never tells the audience how Abagnale got all of this knowledge.

Another key difference between the book and movie has to do with the people trying to catch Abagnale. In the book, there are only a few references to an FBI agent named O’Really, the man in charge of Abagnale’s ease. However, the movie gives viewers a lot more information about how an FBI agent, renamed Hanratty, cracks down Abagnale and finally catches him.

There are a number of other major differences between the book and the movie about Abagnale’s life, some of which seem to make the book more interesting while others make the movie more interesting. In the end, it all comes down to the question, “Which is better?” Like many other books that have been made into movies, the book is better in this case. The fictional parts of the movie may help create dramatic scenes for the movie and help viewers understand the story quickly, but they are fictional. There is an old saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” And in this case, the truth is both stranger and more interesting.
