Tattoos didn't spring up with the biker gangs and rock 'n' roll bands. They've been around for a long time and had many different meanings over the course of history.
For years, scientists believed that Egyptians and Nubians were the first people to tattoo their bodies. Then, in 1991, a mummy was discovered, dating back to the Bronze Age of about 3,300 B.C. "The Iceman," as the specimen was called, had several markings on his body, including a cross on the inside of his knee and lines on his ankle and back. It is believed these tattoos were made in a curative (治病的) effort.
Being so advanced, the Egyptians reportedly spread the practice of tattooing throughout the world. The pyramid-building third and fourth dynasties of Egypt developed international nations with Crete, Greece', Persia and Arabia. The art tattooing stretched out all the way to Southeast Asia by 2,000 B.C.
Around the same time, the Japanese became interested in the art but only for its decorative attributes, as opposed to magical ones. The Japanese tattoo artists were the undisputed masters. Their use of colors, perspective, and imaginative designs gave the practice a whole new angle. During the first millennium A.D., Japan adopted Chinese culture in many aspects and confined tattooing to branding wrongdoers.
In the Balkans, the Thracians had a different use for the craft. Aristocrats, according to Herodotus, used it to show the world their social status.
Although early Europeans dabbled with tattooing, they truly rediscovered the art form. when the world exploration of the post-Renaissance made them seek out new cultures. It was their meeting with Polynesian that introduced them to tattooing. The word, in fact is derived from the Polynesian word tattau, which means "to mark."
Most of the early uses of tattoos were ornamental. However, a number of civilizations had practical applications for this craft. The Goths, a tribe of Germanic barbarians famous for pillaging Roman settlements, used tattoos to mark their slaves. Romans did the same with slaves and criminals.
In Tahiti, tattoos were a rite of passage and told the history of the person's life. Reaching adulthood, boys got one tattoo to commemorate the event. Men were marked with another style. when they got married.
Later, tattoos became the souvenir of choice for globe-trotting sailors. Whenever they would reach an exotic locale, they would get a new tattoo to mark the occasion. A dragon was a famous style. that meant the sailor had reached a "China station." At first, sailors would spend their free time on the ship tattooing themselves and their mates. Soon after, tattoo parlors were set up in the area, surrounding ports worldwide.
In the middle of the 19th century, police officials believed that half of the criminal underworld in New York City had tattoos. Port areas were renowned for being rough places flail of sailors that were guilty of some crime or another. This is most likely how tattoos got such a bad reputation and became associated with rebels and criminals.

A．A skill of making sculpture.
B．An art of body painting.
C．A branch of science for conserving ancient buildings.

The problem with history is simple. There is too much of it, And more of it comes along every day. We need something that will cut the past down to size. We want heroes and heroines that a modern person can identify with. That is where Hollywood comes in.
Film makers have often based their work on historical events. Why go to the trouble of writing a brand new story when so many exciting things have happened in the pasty People will often already know the story, That leaves the director free to thrill us with details of what life as like in imperial China or ancient Rome.
Most historians dislike this attitude. They see history as a complex thing, influenced by great political and economic forces. Film audiences are not very interested in this. They want kings and queens. They pay their money to see fancy clothes and a good fight. And this is what the film industry tries to give them.
Sometimes this approach can cause trouble. The film Titanic was a success around the world. In one of the film's most dramatic moments, a member of the ship's crew begins shooting into the crowd trying to get into the lifeboats as the ship sinks. When the film was released, the real life sailor's surviving relatives protested. They pointed out that this was not what had actually happened The film makers made a public apology. But everyone who has seen the film remembers the sight of the man shooting into the crowd.
Defenders of "Hollywood history" say that most of the time the film makers get the facts right. The action is based on real events and the clothes are accurate. People talk in the way that they would have done in the past even if they do it with a modern American accent. For many people, a historical film will be the closest they come to discovering the past.
It is still possible to find mistakes. Millions have been spent on putting together a replica of ancient Rome. The costumes are right and the atmosphere is perfect. Yet if you look very closely, a plane can be seen passing through the sky above.
Some film makers say that history needs to be simplified if it is to be filmed. The film maker's job is to make viewers interested. If they want to know more, they can do their own research.
The difference between film history and real history is the difference between the facts and the truth. We can watch a "costume drama" and know that all the materials used are probably accurate. But if we want to find out the whole story, we have to do it ourselves. We have to go back to the books.
The main point of the passage is______.
A．that films based on past events are often big hits
B．how much we can trust the Hollywood version of history
C．that we should read books rather than see films to know the history
D．why film audiences are interested in film history rather than real history

Almost daily, the gulf between education and employment widens. Careers officers complain about a system that presents them with school-leavers without ideas for employment. Employers deplore the fact that teenagers are unable to spell and write and calculate. Graduates discover that a knowledge of Ancient History or Zoology counts for nothing when they are looking for a job.
With all our magnificent new colleges of further education, the super-polytechnical schools springing up like mushrooms, and our much-praised increase of students in full-time education, one vital point is being left out of educational thinking. What will it earn？ Because--sad as it may seem to those who believe in its mind-broadening, horizon-widening and strength-testing qualities--you cannot eat education. There are thirty-nine universities and colleges offering degree courses in Geography, but I have never seen any good jobs for Geography graduates advertised. Or am I alone in suspecting that they will return to teach Geography to another set of students, who in turn will teach more Geography undergraduates？ On the other hand, hospital casualty departments throughout the country are having to close down because of the lack of doctors. The reason？ University medical schools can find places for only half of those who apply.
It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Department of Education and Productivity and the Department of Education and Science to get together with the universities and produce a revised educational system which will make a more economic use of the wealth of talent, application and industry currently being wasted on certificates, diplomas and, degrees that no one wants to know about. They might make a start by reintroducing a genuine "General" Certificate of Education. In the days when it meant something, this was called the School Certificate. Employers liked it, because it indicated proficiency in English, Arithmetic, Science and Humanities--in other words, that you had an all-round education. You could use it as a springboard to higher education, but it actually meant something in itself, in every industry from chemicals to clothing.
From there on they might take a giant step forward by offering the alternative of sandwich courses or full-time training for every career. I can think of a good few medical students who would willingly "work their way through college" by filling in as nursing auxiliaries at our understaffed hospitals. And it would be interesting to see just how many would-be Geography graduates pressed on with their courses when they discovered at an early stage the scarcity of jobs available in their specialty.
Given the option, I think the majority of those now taking full-time college courses would leap at the chance of combining theory and practice while earning their living. This would leave the full-time courses for the minority of our student population, who can afford to love learning for its own sake, and not as a meal ticket.
Which of the following is NOT taken good care of by colleges？
A．Widening the students' horizon.
B．Broadening the students' mind.
C．Providing the students with practical skills for employment.
D．Providing the students with moral strength.

Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn’t afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company.However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.
One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.
The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.
