Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Helmut and Erika Simon were hiking in the snow-capped mountains when they chanced upon the body. Only the shoulders and back of the corpse could be seen. The rest of the body was trapped in the ice. After returning to the Similaun Mountain Lodge where they had spent the previous night, they informed the innkeeper of their discovery.
Since the body was found along the border between Austria and Italy, the innkeeper dutifully informed both the Italian and Austrian police. The Austrian authorities tried to retrieve the body the following day, a Friday. However, work came to a halt when the jackhammer used to free the body ran out of air. The body was finally recovered on Monday.
The medical examiners who conducted the autopsy realized that the corpse was not a recent victim of a hiking accident. He had been in the ice for a very long time and was actually a mummy. The next morning, Professor Konrad Spindler, an archaeologist, saw the strange body and the objects found beside it. He realized that the body was at least 4,000 years old.
When news of the spectacular find broke out, reporters from around the world were eager to interview everyone involved in the discovery. Helmut and Erika, who went to Italy after discovering the body, found reporters outside their home in Germany upon their return.

Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Nikolai and the other two technicians were startled when the ground shook beneath their feet. A few seconds later, the tremor stopped and everyone assumed their positions in front of the blinking screens. Boris, Nikolai's colleague, stepped inside the control room to inform him that he had a visitor.
Nikolai followed him out of the brightly-lit control room. When he reached the end of the corridor, he heard a loud thunderclap. The ceiling above him cracked open and an awful smell filled the air. The heavy steel door of the control room opened with a loud bang and dust and smoke billowed from it. While Boris headed for the nearest exit, Nikolai's first thoughts were for his colleagues in the control room.
He hurried along the corridor, picking his way through piles of blazing rubble. When he reached the site of the explosion, his blood ran cold. He saw two figures on the ground. Ivan was motionless while Yuri was groaning in pain. He pushed away the cabinet that had fallen onto Ivan. Nikolai was relieved that he was breathing, although his face was deathly white. Yuri struggled to his feet, with Nikolai's help.
Nikolai, with Ivan on his back, walked along the dark corridor. Yuri limped a few steps behind them. Nikolai's eyes started to water, because of the noxious fumes in the corridor. With great difficulty, he climbed over a beam that was in the way. Then he saw light steaming through a window. Nikolai quickened his steps. |
