Meeting your ancestors

【导语】

在古代埃及权杖和法杖代表什么呢？

Scepters and staves (权杖和法杖) Scepters and staves were a general sign of authority in Ancient Egypt.One of the earliest royal scepters was discovered in the tomb of Khasekhemwy in Abydos.Kings were also known to carry a staff，and Pharaoh Anedjib (法老) is shown on stone vessels carrying a so－called mks

－staff.The scepter with the longest history seems to be the heqa－scepter，sometimes described as the shepherd's crook.The earliest examples of this piece of regalia dates to pre－dynastic times.A scepter was found in a tomb at Abydos that dates to the late Naqada period. Another scepter associated with the king is the was－

scepter.This is a long staff mounted with an animal head.The earliest known depictions of the was－scepter date to the first dynasty.The was－scepter is shown in the hands of both kings and deities. The flail later was closely related to the heqa－scepter (the crook and flail)，but in early representations the king was also depicted solely with the flail，as shown in a late predynastic knife handle which is now in the Metropolitan museum，and on the Narmer Macehead. 【词海拾贝】

Ⅲ.阅读理解

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health；when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you;

when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself.So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a

16

revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. 【语篇解读】

文章介绍了每个人都有幸福，只要我们用心，就能感受到幸福就在我们身边，而钱是买不到幸福的。

1．Those who have big houses may often feel________．

A．happy

C．free

B．lonely D．excited 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely...”可知答案。

答案：B 2．When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will________．

A．laugh at you

C．quarrel with you

B. play jokes on you D．help you stand up 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you”当你在学校有麻烦时，你的朋友会帮助你，由此可推断当你在体育课上摔倒时，你的老师和同学肯定会帮你站起来。故选D。

答案：D 3．What will your friends say to you when you make great progress? A．Congratulations.

C．Good luck.

B．Oh，so do I. D．It's just so－so. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“when you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you”可知答案选A。
