Passage 1
Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and mealls, more or less, "thestudy of old things". So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paperevidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家.learn from theobjects left behind by the humans of long a90. Normally.these are the hard materials that don't breakdown or disappear very quickly-things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria(细菌.in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.Occasionally, things are different.
In l 984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in thenorth of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like avery big and very thick vegetable soup--walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear for-ever.The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder?Possibly-butit was a death nearly two thousand years old.The two men had found a body from the time of the Ro-mall invasion of Britain.Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal or-gans-thescientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the foodthat he had eaten for his last meal!
Why was this man so well preserved?(76)It was because he was in a Very watery enVironment, safb fromle bacteria that need oxygen to live.Als0, the water in the bog was very acidic.The acidpreserved the mall's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.
How did he die?Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more aboutthe person that they called, "Lindow Man".(77)His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn'tdone heavy manual work in his life-he could have been a rich man.They found that he hadn't diedby accident.The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.

Passage 2
Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they provide him with wood and other products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent droughts and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services isthe most important.(78)In his eagerness to make money from trees,he has cut them down in largenumbers,only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.And besides, he is usuallytoo careless to plant and look after new trees.So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees.The results are even more serious：forwher there are trees, their roots break up soil-allowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily;but wher there are no trees, the rain falls on hardground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil.When all the top-soil isgone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, withwhich to gain itself an empire.It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and itgrew weak.When the empire fell to pieces;the home country found itself faced with floods and starva-lion.
