In the waters off Alexandria, Egypt, there is treasure. The Mediterranean Sea harbors the submerged ruins of a palace and temple complex from which the ancient Egyptian Queen Cleopatra ruled until 30 BCE. Divers have been exploring these ruins since the 1990s. They're learning more about the end of the Egyptian kingdom by examining objects left behind by its last ruler.The palace differs from other archaeological sites because it is in good condition. People have destroyed many of the other sites; statues and other structures are cut or smashed to pieces. Alexandria's Royal Quarters suffered a different fate. In the fourth and eighth centuries, major earthquakes occurred. The quakes caused the ports, cape, and islands that were full of temples, palaces, and military outposts to slide into the sea. After the second quake, the area was abandoned and its port remained unused. As a result, many of its treasures are not broken. They haven't aged much either, because sediment protects them from the salt water."[The palace is] as it was when it sank," said Ashraf Abdel-Raouf of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio and his team found the site in the 1990s. Using advanced electronic equipment, the team conducted surveys of the seabed. This allowed them to deal with the harbor's extremely poor visibility and to excavate the area.In the years since they first mapped the area, Goddio and his team have discovered a wide range of items. The harbor contains everything from coins and everyday objects to colossal granite statues of Egypt's ancient rulers and sunken temples dedicated to Egyptian gods."It's a unique site in the world," said Goddio, who has spent two decades searching for shipwrecks and lost cities below the sea. Goddio's international team members are now carefully excavating the site. They are turning up stunning objects from Egypt's last dynasty.Every time Goddio and his team dive into the murky water and find something new, they go back in time. Each find is part of the story of Cleopatra. Often called a queen, she was Egypt's last pharaoh. (The Roman Empire conquered Egypt in 30 BCE.) On one dive to explore Cleopatra's world, divers found a huge stone head. It is believed to be of Caesarion, the son of Cleopatra. They also found two sphinxes, one of them probably representing Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII. On another dive, archaeologists explored the Timonium. This building was commissioned by the Roman General Marc Antony, who had a romance with Cleopatra. Antony used the Timonium as a retreat after his rival Octavian defeated him. (Octavian later became the Roman Emperor Augustus.)The finds from Cleopatra's palace are on display at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, in an exhibition titled "Cleopatra: The Search for the Last Queen of Egypt."

Picture PerfectMarie Devers1At the first yearbook meeting, I quietly sat in the back of the classroom and hardly said anything. Unlike the other yearbook-club members, I found it hard to come up with catchy slogans to put under the pictures. While some students were outgoing and had no difficulty signing up sponsors on a daily basis, I was afraid to ask my grandmother, who owned a business in our hometown. When I finally did work up the nerve to ask her for a donation, she offered me some advice.2She explained that she had been the photographer of her high-school yearbook. She pulled out the old crimson book and opened it up to a giant photograph that took up a whole page. A small group of kids crowded into the shot. I looked away from the photograph and up at my grandmother’s sentimental smile.3After she showed me some of her finest shots, we went up to her attic and found her old box of high-school memories. Inside, we found a letterman jacket that Grandma let me wear while we shuffled through the mementos. Finally, we found what she was searching for. At the bottom of the box was my Grandma’s big black camera. She explained that the strap was actually for a guitar. She had attached it to the camera so she could stylishly carry it around school. Again, her gorgeous smile expanded across her face as she remembered aloud.4I slipped the camera over my shoulders, and Grandma took me to purchase film. Then, she dropped me off at home, and I spent the rest of the weekend sauntering around my backyard taking photos of weird bugs and pretty flowers. By Monday morning, I felt like an experienced shutterbug ready to capture my classmates in my viewfinder.5In homeroom, I shot my class making goofy faces at my camera. In first period, I asked Mrs. Greene to pose with the students writing their homework problems on the board. She was a little shy at first, but with a little bit of coaxing, I got her to laugh as the students worked behind her. At lunch, I got the cafeteria workers to take a break and pose for a photograph. After I shot that one, I ordered a tuna melt, and as the cafeteria worker gave it to me, she leaned down and said, “Thanks for including us in your yearbook pictures.”6She made me feel so good that I kept shooting photographs all week. The next weekend, my mom and I developed the photos. Grandma’s camera sure was spectacular. I felt proud as I appreciated the clear genuine smiles beaming back at me. Grandma said that I was an amazing photographer, and I had to admit that I really captured the spirit of the people in my pictures. At the next yearbook meeting, I walked confidently into the classroom ready to share my photographs with the rest of the group.QuestionThe narrator became a photographer becauseResponsesA she did not want to talk to people.she did not want to talk to people.B her grandmother suggested she try it.her grandmother suggested she try it.C her classmates begged her for pictures.her classmates begged her for pictures.D she did not get any gifts like other students.

On platforms like TikTok and other social media, there's recently been a lot of 10)         (talk) about individuals possessing a substantial collection of books, with a crucial emphasis on their ability to 11)         (organize) them in an aesthetically pleasing way — creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's about achieving a polished look without coming across as overly formal.Kailee Blalock, a San Diego-based interior designer, shared a TikTok video last month aiming to explain the concept of bookshelf wealth and 12)         (educate) viewers on how to replicate the aesthetic in their own homes. “These aren’t display books,” Ms. Blalock, 26, said in the video, which has been viewed over 1.3 million times. “These are books that have actually been curated and read.”This 13)         (literary) look, she went on to say, goes well with pictures hung casually on the walls, sometimes even partly blocking the shelves. It can also 14)         (pair) well with mismatched(不协调的) fabric patterns and a bit of clutter(杂乱的东西).In an interview, Ms. Blalock expanded on her advice: “To truly capture the 15)         (essence) of this style and lifestyle, one must be a passionate reader and have some appreciation for collecting things, particularly art and sculptures.”While Ms. Blalock didn't coin the phrase "bookshelf wealth," her video sparked extensive online conversations. A user commented, "The day I consider 'cultivating' books more 16)         (important) than reading what I enjoy is the day I consider myself a failure as a human." Some expressed the view that bookshelf wealth is more associated with wealth than a 17)         (genuine) interest in reading.In an interview, Breana Newton, a legal coordinator, who posts regularly about books on TikTok, said that she worried trends like bookshelf wealth encourage excessive 18)         (consumption). This year, she added, she is trying not to buy any new books.Another critic of the trend, Keila Tirado-Leist, a lifestyle content creator, said she was understanding that what drives a home-décor trend like this one is a desire to create a home that feels, well, homey. In a video, she described the idea of layering — that is, 19)         (slowly) acquiring pieces and building up to a finished look. “Styling a home takes time,” Ms. Tirado-Leist said.A.  toleranceB.  educateC.  essenceD.  constantlyE.  genuineF.  talkG.  literaryH.  collectI.  organizeJ.  slowlyK.  pairL.  consumptionM.  importantN.  lectureO.  reward
