Once a week my aunt would announce, "I am going to have my bath today."
Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath.You probably remember how it goes.You enter the bathroom, you put the plug in, turn on the hot water, get into the bath, wash, sing, get out, dry yourself and exit.My aunt's approach was more epic(宏大的), like one of those long Eisenstein films where people seem to be climbing up the same flight of stairs forever.
My aunt would first slowly collect her clean linen(亚麻布衬衫), so as to have it all ready for changing into after her bath.This involved sorting out her linen, which took up most of the morning.Sometimes she would find an old letter buried among her linen, become interested in the memories it aroused and have to postpone the bath until the next day.But if all went well, she would have a bite of lunch and start Phase Two around two o'clock.
Phase Two was washing out the bath.She would wash the bath very thoroughly, rinse(冲洗) it with running cold water, rewash it and then carefully feel the whole surface with her fingers.If there was the slightest blemish, she would clean the whole bath out again.This took about an hour.Then she would fill the bath.
By this time she was feeling a bit hungry and exhausted.So she would put on the kettle for a cup of tea.Several cups of tea and several cream crackers (her favourite food) later, she would go back to the bathroom.And find the water stone cold.

Skin-diving is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks, because you are no longer heavy.
Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.
When you have tanks of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. But you must be careful when you dive in deep water.
To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides, there are more uses for skin-diving. You can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many things from the deep sea.
Now you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting.

Passage Four
Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212 BC.
Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. "Archimedes's Principle" states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.
It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.
48. A good title for the selection is______.
A. Archimedes
B. Archimedes's Principle
C. A Gold and Silver Crown
D. The King of Syracuse
