I’VE FOUND THE TITANIC!
As a boy, Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks. He read a lot about the Titanic. "My lifelong dream was to find this great ship," he says.
On August 31, 1985, Ballard's dream came true. He found the wreck of the Titanic. The ship was in two main parts lying four kilometers (2.4 miles) under the sea. Using video cameras and an undersea robot, Ballard looked around the ship. He found many items that told the sad story of the Titanic's end. For example, he found a child's shoes, a reminder of the many deaths that happened that night in 1912.
In 1986, Ballard visited the Titanic again. This time, he reached the ship in a small submarine. A deep-sea robot—a "swimming eyeball"—took photos inside the ship. When other people saw the photos, they wanted to visit the ship, too.
When Ballard returned in 2004, he found the Titanic in very bad condition. Other explorers had taken away about 6,000 items, like clothes, dishes, and shoes. Some even took pieces of the ship. They think these things should be moved to a safer place, but Ballard doesn't agree.
Ballard believes that taking things from the Titanic is like robbing a grave. Instead, he wants to put lights and cameras on and around the shipwreck. This way, people can see the great shipwreck and remember what happened to it. “As long as she needs protection,'' says Ballard, "the Titanic will always be part of my life."What is the reading mainly about?
A.how visitors to the Titanic leave it in bad condition
B.Robert Ballard’s hopes that more people will visit the Titanic
C.how Robert Ballard found the Titanic and wants to keep it safe
D.Robert Ballard liked to read about shipwrecks

TREASURE SHIP
On a beach along the Skeleton Coast, the sand is filled with diamonds. But in April 2008, workers found something very different: a piece of lost history—a shipwreck and its treasure.
The story began when a worker from the nearby diamond mines found a piece of metal on the beach. It was a piece of copper. Soon, they found more copper and many gold coins. The workers then found that these came from the remains of a large ship. The shipwreck was the real treasure.
Archeologists studied the shipwreck. They thought the ship probably came from Portugal about 500 years before. However, it was difficult to find information about it. In 1775, many maps and books about the ships of the time were lost in a fire in Lisbon. "That left a big hole in our history,” says Portuguese archeologist Alexandre Monteiro.
Finally, Monteiro found out that a group of ships left Lisbon for India in 1533. One of them, the Bom Jesus, carried 300 people and a large amount of treasure. The Portuguese sailors planned to use the treasure to buy expensive Indian spices. Archeologists now believe the wreck might be the Bom Jesus. This is because many of the gold coins found were Spanish. Monteiro found an old letter in the Spanish royal archives. The letter said that Spain gave Portugal money for the trip. Two thousand Spanish coins were put on the Bom Jesus. This could explain why so many Spanish coins were found in a Portuguese shipwreck.
So what happened to the ship? The Bom Jesus probably got lost in a storm. Then it smashed into rocks near the coast and sank. There were few human bones found, so the sailors were probably able to get off the ship. But even if they swam onto the beach, they would have found themselves in a strange, distant land. They had no way to get home. They might as well have been on Mars. To this day, no one knows what happened to them.
Why does the author say “the sailors might as well have been on Mars”?
A.to show how bad the sailors’ situation was
B.to compare the Skeleton Coast to what Mars looks like
C.to say that the sailors had found a beautiful but strange place
D.to say that they had been on Mars before

AT THE SCENE OF A CRIME
Your phone rings. The police officer says someone broke into a store and took some expensive items. They need you right away. It is your job to study the whole scene for clues that will help catch the thief. You are a crime scene investgator, and the game is on.
Outside the store, you see a broken window, some glass on the street, shoeprints, and marks made by a vehicle's tires. You look at the shoeprints. They're large, so you're likely looking for a man. You photograph the shoe's pattern. This can tell you the type of shoe. You then measure the space between the shoeprints. You now know how long the man's steps were. This gives you an idea of how tall he was.
As you follow the shoeprints over to the tire marks, they get farther away from each other. They lead to the passenger's side of the vehicle. Now you know the man probably didn't work alone. You photograph the tire marks. They can help you find out what type of vehicle it was, and the direction it went in.
On the Case
The most important clues will come from a person's body. The person who broke in left a little of himself behind. In the store, you find some fingerprints. Using a computer, you can compare these prints against millions of others.
In the store, there is a lot more glass. Then you find something else—a hair. You keep this because you know hair contains a person's DNA. You can compare this with other people's DNA, too. If you find a match for the fingerprint or the DNA, you will know who was in the store.
Will you find the thief? You now have a lot of information, so it's possible. For a crime scene investigator, it’s all in a day's work.
How would the author probably answer the question, “Will the thief be caught?”
A.Yes, he will.
B.Maybe.
C.I don’t think so.
D.No, he won’t.
