23、he white explorers（探险者）began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.     Other chiefs refused to go along with the

24、governments plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley（present-day Oregon）. “In order to have all people understand how much land we owned, ”he once explained,“My father planted poles around it and said: Inside is the home of my people It circled around the gra

25、ves（坟墓） of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man.”But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation（保留地）. Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.Later, fighting broke out betwe

26、en the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in. 1. Which historic site （on the map）lies in the south of todays Nez Perce Reservation?  A. Buffalo Eddy.&#

27、160;      B. Dug Bar.  C. Joseph Canyon Viewpoint.      D. Chief Looking Glass Camp. 2. What can we learn about the Nez Perce lands from the map?  A. They were in the state of Oregon.  B. They have become a historic site.  C. They

29、poles BHow Long Can People Live?     She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday.     When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the worlds recordholder. She lived to the rip

30、e old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span（寿命）? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150or beyond?     Researchers dont entirely agree on the answers. “Calment lived to 122, so it wouldnt surpr

31、ise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, ”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.     Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. “People can live much longer than we think, ”he says. “Experts used to say that humans couldnt live past 110. When Calment blew past that

32、age, they raised the number to 120. So why cant we go higher? ”    The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that its all just guessing. “Anyone can make up a number, ”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. “Usually the scientist who picks the highest number

33、gets his name in Time magazine. ”    Wont new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So

34、, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, “adding another 50 percent would get you to 120. ”    So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible（有弹性的）, but there is a limit, says George Martin of the Univers

35、ity of Washington. “We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, ”he says. “But a flys never going to live 150 years. ”Of course, if you became a new species （物种）, one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.     Does Martin really believe that humans coul

36、d evolve （进化）their way to longer life?     “Its pretty cool to think about, ”he says with a smile. 1. What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?   A. People can live to 122.      B. Old people are creative.   C. Women are sporty at 85. &

37、#160;    D. Women live longer than men. 2. According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, _.   A. the average human life span could be 110   B. scientists cannot find ways to slow aging    C. few people can expect to live to over 150    D. res

38、earchers are not sure how long people can live 3. Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity?    A. Jerry Shay.      B. Steve Austad     C. Rich Miller     D. George Martin

39、4. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?   A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.    B. The average human life span cannot be doubled    C. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.   D. New techniques could be us
