21、The human body has developed its millions of nerves (神经) to get to know what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us live with the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.
But there is a way to deal with pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails (钉子). They seem to feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to treat pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
The big thing in putting up with pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are important parts of life.
【1】What does the writer mean by saying “But we pay for our sensitivity.” in the first paragraph?
A.We suffer from our sense of feeling.

22、 A prisoner picked up 1,000 yuan in the course of building the road outside the prison. He handed it out without hesitation. However, someone who was in charge of the prison said to him in contempt, "Stop cheating! With your own money, play such a trick to bribe me; what you want to gain back is the reduced sentence; people of your sort are not honest."
In total despair, the prisoner believed that no one in the world would trust him any more. So he escaped from prison that night.
On his way to flight, he robbed money and values without restraint(无拘无束地). After robbing enough money, he took a train bound for the border. The carriages were so crowded that he had to stand close to a water closet.

She stepped out and whispered to him, "Sir, could you guard the door for me?"
In a daze for a second, he, looking into the pure eyes of the girl, nodded his head. The girl went into the closet with a blush; and he guarded the door tightly like a' loyal guard.
At that very moment, he changed his mind suddenly. At the next stop he got off the train, and went to give himself up to the police at the train station.

23、The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the construction of the Great Wall of China. He built a large network of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency, and set of measurements. The emperor also ordered the construction of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.
Today, the soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are light brown, but they weren't always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were unearthed, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history.
New techniques are now starting to reveal the army's true colors. Archeologists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a special liquid to help preserve the soldiers, colors. After they find a soldier or other artifact, archeologists spray it with the liquid. They then cover it in plastic.
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around Xi'an's terracotta warriors. It's important not to disturb the dirt, so the colors won't be lost. “We are treating the earth as an artifact, says archeologist Rong Bo, the museum's leading chemist. The next challenge, says Rong, is to find a way to apply the colors to the army again. Once that happens, artists can bring. Emperor Qin's army back to life in full color.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How the emperor's tomb was built.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “unearthed” in paragraph 2?

D.Buried.
【4】Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with?

B.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers any color they want.
C.We should try to restore the army's original colors.
