7、the world has ever known. He was brave and loved to visit and explored new places. During his life, he discovered many amazing things. Howard Carter did not go to school, but learnt to draw from his father, who was an artist. He was bright and curious about the world outside his hometown. In 1891, a

8、t the age of 17, he set sail for Alexandria, Egypt. By the 1920s, he had become an explorer, searching for the tombs of the Egyptian kings. He found several important ones. Inside the tombs, he discovered a great fortune in jewels and gold, along with the preserved bodies of dead kings. These preser

9、ved bodies are known as mummies. In 1922, Howard Carter made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. He had received money from Lord Carnarvon, a British man who was very interested in Egypt. Carters team was working at a place near the city of Luxor. There, they cam

10、e across the tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was the most important tomb that had ever been found. The tomb contained more treasure than any of us had ever seen before, as well as the mummy of the king, said Carter. After we looked into the tomb, we closed it and hid its entrance. We wanted to study th

11、e tomb later when we had more time. Afterwards, all of its contents would go into a museum.However, not long after the discovery, people in Carters team began to fall ill and die. Upon their entering the tomb, Carters lucky pet bird, which had left in Cairo, was swallowed by a snake. Then, a few mon

12、ths after Carter had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt. At the moment of Carnarvons death, the lights went out in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Back in England, his dog died at approximately the same time. George Go

13、uld, a friend of Carnarvons, went to Egypt after hearing of his strange death. He too visited the tomb, only to catch a high fever the next day. Twelve hours later, he was dead. Carters secretary, Richard Bethell, died of heart trouble four months after the tomb was opened. Arthur Mace, another memb

14、er of the team, also died shortly after the discovery. Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Howard Carter, however, lived on until the age of 65. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were in connection with a m

15、ummys curse, as a punishment for those who enter the resting place of the dead. However, still others believe that there is a scientific explanation. Inside the tombs, there are many viruses. When a tomb is opened, fresh air disturbs the viruses. If breathed in, they can result in illness or even de

16、ath. Today, when scientists examine mummies, they wear special clothing for protection. What is certain, though, is that the curse of the mummy remains a riddle to this day.Dian Fossey is now regarded as one of the heroes of the 20th century. Her love for the mountain gorillas in Africa taught peopl

17、e about dangers these animals are facing. Dian was an outgoing and kind person, and able to gain valuable data about their lives by becoming a companion to them. Dian Fossey was born in California in 1932. She graduated from university in 1954 and worked at a childrens hospital in Kentucky for sever

18、al years. However, her interest in animals, and the writings of an American scientist called George Schaller, inspired her to take the first step towards her future work. In 1966, she went to Africa to study rare mountain gorillas. Even though some of the gorillas were quite dangerous, this did not

19、discourage Dian. She showed great devotion to her work and loved to tell people about gorillas. Because the gorillas had interested her so much, Dian decided to study for a PhD. After she finished her degree, she wrote a book about the gorillas she had lived with. She later returned to Africa. Howev

20、er, she was murdered in 1985. Dian Fossey is still alive in our hearts to this day. Thanks to her research, we now know more about mountain gorillas. They are also protected by governments and various organizations. Without her work, there would be very few mountain gorillas left today.First period
