something in his life that he is ashamed of and that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet.” some people may have more than one skeleton. as we have noted many times, it is hard to find out how these expression begin. sometimes, we get some hard facts. but more often we have to depend on guesswork. and that is true of this phrase, which came from england.before 1832, english law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse (尸体) of an executed (处决) criminal. but when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. it was helpful in the advance of modern medicine. the demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices. we are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. it became very important in his work. but he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. as a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet. after a time, people began to suspect every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. from this suspicion, the phrase “a skeleton in the closet” took on a broader, more general meaning. to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. it could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. well, that is one theory. one writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. it is his guess that a hidden closet in some old english country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. well, one mans guess is as good as another. but this sounds like a story by the great french novelist, balzac.balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. the husband comes home by surprise. but she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. he enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. he says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there; he will believe her. she answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet. the husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. his wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. but she will not change her story and admit her guilt.36.which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase “ skeleton in the closet”?a. you have stolen something precious and dont want it discovered.b. you are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.c. if you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton a secret.d. you have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep others from discovering it.37. from the text we know there are _ theories about how the phrase “skeleton in the closet” came into being.a.one b. two c. three d. four38. which of the following is right according to the text?a. in the 19th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy (解剖) in the development of medicine.b. the doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeletons as possible.c. the thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors.d. it is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history.39. from the story balzac told us that the wifes lover must have become _. a. a corpse b. a phrase c. a skeleton d. a secretbancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. they used the pots they make for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. pottery was so important to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. the more advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes, and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.the artisan who makes pottery in north america today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something special and unique.the potter uses one of the earths most basic materials, clay. clay can be found almost anywhere. good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting process difficult. most north american artisan potters now purchase commercially processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.the most important tools potters use are their own hands; however, they also use wire loop tools, wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its vase on the potters wheel.after a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it placed in a kiln and fired. the first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again.for areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in the kiln. they then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of decorative pattern that they want.40. what does the passage mainly discuss?a. different kinds of clay.b. the training of an artisan.c. the making of pottery.d. crafts of ancient civilizations.41. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a way that ancient people used pottery?a. to hold food. b. to wash clothes. c. to cook. d. to transport objects.42. according to the author, what do potters use to remove the pot from the wheel?a. melted wax. b. a wire loop. c. a sponge. d. plain wire.43. the word pattern in the last sentence is closest in meaning to which of the following?a. model. b. color. c. puzzle. d. design.cfrom poor beginnings to most expensive player zinedine zidane，who dreams
