Reading about history is nice, but finding ties to long-ago historical events in your own backyard is really exciting.
In their heavily populated area, neighbors Adam Giles,13, and Derek Hann.12, uncovered pieces of glass that looked quite different from what’s used today. “After digging about two feet down, I came across an interesting bottle,” Derek said. The bottle had a “pontil scar” on the bottle, an indication that it was hand-blown rather than machine made. It also had the name “Fraser” on one side.
Adam found remains of a green bottle and some very thick brown glass—again, far different from today’s.
After doing research on the computer, the boys contacted Aimee Wells of the county’s Cultural Resources office. She showed them a computer program that digitally puts old maps over modern satellite photographs.
Bingo! Their back yards were once part of a military（军事的） encampment（营地） called Camp Alger used by Ohio soldiers on their way to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898.
So how do a few bottles get connected to a brief war that was more than a century ago? “We get there by good judgment,” Wells said. “We know the time period of the bottles and what happened in that area.” Anyone can dig a hole, but archaeologists seek a deeper understanding. How do objects found relate to things around them?
When Derek and Adam realized that a solider might have held that Fraser bottle 110 years ago, they wondered what he might have been thinking. What did he see as he looked around him? How did he pass the time waiting to go into battle?
Historical records show that while waiting for orders, the soldiers in and around Camp Alger played baseball, played instruments and walked seven miles to the Potomac River once a week for baths. A spread of strange fever forced the closing of the camp, and there are no buildings to study. “What’s left is only what’s in the ground,” said Wells.
Derek’s and Adam’s back yards have joined the 3,400 places listed on the county’s register of archaeological sites. The boys were given tips on how to dig effectively and safely, and on how to document the location of items found.
The official record of their finds serves as another piece of the puzzle for historians seeking to form a more complete story of what happened.
“Not everyone is going to have historical objects in their own yard,” Wells said. “That’s okay. Make your own time capsule and bury it. What would you want people to know about your life years from now?”
63. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How Adam Giles and Derek Hann dug out the remains of an ancient military encampment.
B. What Adam Giles and Derek Hann found in their back yard and its relationship with an encampment.
C. The great contribution Adam Giles and Derek Hann made to the cause of archaeology.
D. The tips on how to dig out ancient objects buried under the ground safely and effectively.
64. From the passage, we can see that the boy’s discovery _______.
A. includes all kinds of hand-made and machine- made glass.
B. has helped historians find out what happened in 1898.
C. couldn’t have been meaningful without Aimee Wells’ help.
D. has added the county to the list of archaeologist sites.
65. When Wells said “We get there by good judgment.” (Paragraph 6), she meant that_______.
A. they have established the ties to Camp Alger by finding out the time period of the bottles.
B. they have figured out how to get to the place where the brief war happened.
C. they have managed to dig out the bottles in the back yard safely with common sense.
D. they were able to locate the soldiers who used the Fraser bottles 110 years ago.
66. Which of the following fits the description of historical records?
A. The soldiers in and around Camp Alger delighted in playing basketball in their spare time.
B. When Camp Alger was forced to close, all the buildings there were destroyed.
C. The soldiers in and around Camp Alger often buried some bottles underground as time capsules.
D. Camp Alger was forced to close because of a spread of a strange fever.

Although the Garden God had made him the most beautiful place that there could ever be, Adam was lonely.
Adam needed some . So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see he would call them. It must have a long, long time to think up all those ! Luckily, he didn't call them things like 'Foo Foo' or “Snuggems”or 'Pooky' or anything like that. , he called them 'gerbils' and 'rabbits' and 'rhinoceroses'.

From time to time I travel to town for some shopping. One Saturday it was Adam’s turn to accompany me. As we left he promised his two brothers, he would return with candy(糖果) they all had a great fondness of.
Adam, 7, is a curious boy who never lacks for questions. As we drove, he asked about a gray building to our left. “What is that, daddy?” “It’s a church, honey. People go where to pray.” “What do they pray for?” “Well,they ask God help them?” “I guess the could give them food but God tends to use other people to help hungry people.”
After parking at the corner, we walked toward the store. Adam had falled silent. He was looking at an old man begging by the store entrance.
“Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar from my pocket handing it to Adam.
Inside the store, I kept Adam in sight as I picked up some vegetables we needed. Adam stared wide-eyed,gently touching the packaged treasures excitedly.
Just as we left the checkout stand, Adam walked straight to the beggar holding out his priceless treasure. “This is from God,” Adam said softly. The old man looked up at Adam through his gray tired eyes and said, “Thank you, Lord.”
I hugged Adam saying, “That was thoughtful, Adam.”
“That certainly was,” confirmed(确认) a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man’s hat. “May I ?”she asked as she bent over to kiss Adam’s cheek. I nodded and smiled.
We walked towards the corner. Behind us a small group of people had gathered around the man placing money in his hat.
