30、ng hillside in Surrey. He was fleeing the War of the Roses and planned to return during better times. But he never did. The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal detector, a device used to determine the presence of
31、metals. Minteys findmuch of which now sits in the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit his job with a small manufacturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain. In many European countries, metal detectorists, or people usi
32、ng metal detectors, face tough regulations. In the U.K., however, officials introduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries (except for those falling under the definition of treasure, like Minteys find, which they are required to report)but allowing them to keep what th
33、ey find, or receive a reward. Last year, a hidden store was uncovered in a field outside Birmingham. It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the seventh century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open
34、 market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but facing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasingly heated conflict between the countrys 10,000-20,000 metal detectorists and the museum workers determined to protect its pr
35、ecious old objects. Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old objects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists dont report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. “Theres been a slow move over the centuries that preci
36、ous old things belong to us all,“ says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University. But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey were _. A.worth roughly $350,000 B.possessed by a loc
37、al resident C.unearthed about 500 years ago D.left by a merchant during a war（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What do we know about Roger Mintey? A.He produces metal detectors. B.He owns a manufacturing firm. C.He works for the British Museum. D.He seeks buried treasure as a hobby.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the U.
38、 K., metal detectorists _. A.are rewarded for whatever they find B.are forced to obey tough regulations C.may keep what they have discovered D.should report whatever they discover（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclear _. A.how much it is worth B.how it was disco
39、vered C.who is entitled to it D.what it is made up of（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to Professor Christopher Chippindale, buried treasure _.

40、ar for more than a decade Ive gone with some good male friends to the music festival. Women are not invited, but they do prepare a picnic for our trip. The better the food, the more likely we are to continue our annual tradition and give them peace at least one week out of the year.When were not eat
41、ing, we sit around in circles and talk about manly stuff: women, mostly. After years of this special journey I have figured out women are different from us, especially when it comes to how we communicate. Women dont need to manufacture reasons to chat, but guys need excuses like outings or organized
42、 events.And Ive noticed that when women are in groups there can be several conversations going on at once. When men are in a group, one man talks, and everybody else listens. Its like bluegrass jamming in a way; one musician plays the lead, and the rest try to follow.Ive had more heartfelt conversat
43、ions with other men at the festival than Ive had at any other time in my life, partly because there are no women there, and partly because were all a little drunk. It was males bonding over whatever parts we still had left. The festival is also the only place Ive ever cried in front of other men.As
44、the years have slipped by, some in our group have lost parents and grandparents, some have divorced, and others have changed careers, not always on purpose. It seems that every year something distressing has happened to at least one member of our crew, and the rest of us are there to listen and offe

Chances are good hes not fleeing you and the kids, hut hes running toward the conversations he can only have with other men, and hell come home the better for
