There are a lot of stories about the final resting place of Noah’s ark. Many historians think that Noah’s ark came to rest on the top of Mount Ararat in Turkey. At 17,000 feet (5,165 meters), Mount Ararat is the highest point in this area.
A group of scientists and historians believe that they have actually found the ark using satellite pictures. They have al so planned a trip to the top of Mount Ararat. "We' re telling people we' re 98 percent sure, "Daniel McGivern of the Ha waii Christian Coalition said. "In one image we saw the beams, the wood."
Not everyone is convinced that Noah’s ark has been found. "We think that, with the hundreds of explorers who have visited the region, if the ark was jutting out of the ice, it would be obvious, "said Rex Geissler, president of ArcImagining, an organization that has surveyed Mount Ararat.

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文： In America alone, tipping is now a $16 billion-a-year industry. Why should tips exist？ The conventional wisdom is that tips both reward the efforts of good service and reduces uncomfortable feelings of inequality.
Such explanations no doubt explain the purported origin of tipping--in the 16th century boxes in English taverns carried the phrase "To Insure Promptitude" (later TIP). But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful function.
Tipping is better explained by culture than by economics. In America, the custom has become institutionalized: it's regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip 15% could mean abuse from the waiter. In Europe, tipping is less common; in many restaurants, tipping is being replaced by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on.
How to account for these national differences？ Look no further than psychology. People more extrovert, sociable or neurotic tend to tip more. Tipping relieves anxiety about being served by strangers. In America, where people are outgoing and expressive, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off. Icelanders by contrast, do not usually tip--a measure of their introversion.
What is the original meaning of the tip？
A．It is to reward the efforts of good service.
B．It is a promise of on-time service.
C．It is used to reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality.
D．It serves no useful function.
Why do you think Jada and Jessie don't care if people can't tell them apart？
A．They know their differences.
B．They like wearing blue dresses.
C．They like making Jared mad.
Natural Medicines
Since earliest days, humans have used some kinds of medicines. We know this because humans have survived. Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely.
They were successful long before the time of modern medicine. Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny (发亮的) instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.
Many parts of the world still de not have university-educated doctors. Nor do they have expensive hospitals. Yet injuries are treated. And diseases are often cured. How？ By ancient methods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical (有魔力的). Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical, however.
Through the centuries, tribal (部族的) medicine men experimented with plants. They found many useful chemicals in the plants. And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines may provide the cure for some of today's most serious diseases.
Experts say almost 80% of the people in the world use plants for health care. These natural medicines are used not just because people have no other form. of treatment. They are used because people trust them. In developed areas, few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in a store. Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources, especially plants. Some experts say more than 25% of modern medicines come, in one way or another, from nature.
Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory. All living things contain chemicals that help them survive. So scientists' interest in traditional medicine is not new. But it has become an urgent concern. This is because the earth's supply of natural medicines may be dropping rapidly.
The passage indicates that ancient treatments for injury and disease were
A．much more successful than modern ones.
B．successful enough for humans to survive.
C．successful in all cases.
D．of little help to humans.
Generally speaking, people
A．feel poor if they have less than many others.
B．feel rich if they have more than many others.
C．tend to equate being happy with their feeling relatively rich.
D．tend to expect more if they are richer than their neighbors.
How many people were killed in the fire？
A．More than 220 people.
