第一篇
Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt’s mighty pyramid(金字塔)builders were powerless in the face of the famine(饥荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B.C..Now evidence collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame--and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile’s annual floods to irrigate their crops.But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons(季风)southwards out of Ethiopia would have reduced these floods.
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil.W.1len rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt，along with sediment(沉积)from the White Nile.
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope(同位素)signature from that of the white Nile.So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta.Michael Krom of LeedsUniversity worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought，the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high.He found that one of these periods，from 4500 to 4200 years ago。immediately came before the fall of the Egypt’s old Kingdom. www.lexue88.com
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians."Changes that affect food supply don’t have to be very large to have a ripple(波浪)effect in societies，"says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even more devastating，says team member Daniel Stanley.ascientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C."Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically."

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐), one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you'll have more money than you put in. Why?
When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don't need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can't touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty, or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will pay you interest. You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why? It's because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.
6 Which way will help your money earn more money?
A Putting your money in your room.
B Putting your money in a piggy bank.
C Putting your money in your pocket.
D Putting your money in a savings account.
7 Interest is the amount of money which
A a bank lends to people.
B a bank loans to businesses.
C a bank pays you.
D a bank uses.
8 A bank statement tells you
A the amount of money you have in the bank.
B the current rates of interest.
C the current rates of exchange.
D the best way to save your money.
9 If you draw your money before it is due
A you have to pay interest to the bank.
B you have to close your account
C you have to open a new account.
D you have to pay a penalty or fee.
10 The word "touch" in paragraph 7 could be best replaced by
A "deposit".
