Gold is a rare metal with a lovely colour. It is not affected by a 81 or by water. Because gold is so soft, it can be made into different shapes such as very thin flat pieces and very fine thread.

Over 5,000 years ago, gold had some special meanings for the ancient Egyptians. They believed that all gold b 82 to their kings, the Pharaohs. In fact, they put many precious gold objects in the palaces with their Pharaohs when they died, and we can see a lot of them in museums today. The Egyptians had a lot of skill in working with gold, they could make it into sheets so thin that a pile of 35,700 pieces would be only 2.5 cm high. Sheets like this are called gold leaf. Gold leaf is still used today to d 83 furniture and other things.

The gold used to make jewellery is usually mixed with other metals of lower value. This not only makes the things c 84 , but also harder. People use the word \gold is. One karat means one twenty-fourth part of it is made of gold.

Because it was not c 85 and therefore had a high value, gold was used as money all over the world in the past. Today, we use pieces of paper i 86 , but many countries still keep bars of gold in the banks. They can change this gold into money by selling it to other countries. About two thirds of all the gold in the world is kept in this way.

Gold is found in many parts of the world, usually deep u 87 the ground. It can also be found in rivers. The sea too contains gold, but it would cost much more money to get the gold out of the sea than the gold is worth. 5 / 9

D. Answer the questions.

A boy has been injured in a traffic accident. His leg is badly damaged. In the Emergency Room of Shanghai No.6 People’s Hospital, the doctors work so hard to save the leg. The boy cries out in pain. There is blood on the bed and on the gloved hands of the doctors. The room is full of tension. In the end, the doctors manage to save the young boy’s leg. This is real life, real drama and … real TV !

Since its first show last December, the Story in ER(急诊室故事)has become popular with audience and pointed to a new direction in reality TV. We have already got used to reality shows such as The Voice of China (中国好声音) and Dad, Where are we going (爸爸去哪儿). These shows only want to amuse people. Audience may think them interesting and funny while watching. But The story in ER takes us deeper into the lives of others.

Reality TV had its beginning in Europe in 1990s. since then, hundreds of reality shows have appeared around the globe ---there are 176 on British television, alone! These shows are not real documentaries (纪录片), but focus on personal dramas and difficulties controlled by the producers to catch more people’s eyes.

The story in ER, however, is really real --- real pain, real suffering, and real situations. No need for controlling here! Some audience may feel uncomfortable, but we can’t help watching, because it’s human nature to be attracted by the ups and downs of the lives of other beings. Also, we learn things by watching others. The story in ER gives us a chance to go behind the scenes and see how hospitals work and how hard the medical staff work. It allows us to imagine how we might react in similar stressful situations. It also lets us appreciate how lucky we are.
