Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a children story; Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him.
Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Amp Hill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Amp Hill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth £3,000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?
A.Two stone crosses in Amp Hill.
B.Stevenson's Treasure Island.
C.Katherine of Aragon.
D.Williams hometown.
A.knew to
B.knew how

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn"t do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy : no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken(直言不讳) girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: "If one does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you. " This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One,cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续 ). When I was put on a drip (点滴), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(温柔的) voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling(咕哝地说) to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes.
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone shduld do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understands me like my mother"and helps me like my elder brother.
