They were surprised to learn that it belonged to a man who died 5,300 years ago! This was the o 1 complete human body ever found. Scientists named the man Ötzi after the p 2 he was found. They studied his body and learned many things. His teeth and skull[2] showed that he was probably in his 40s. He wore thick clothes and shoes made of bear skin. He carried a stone knife, wooden arrows, and equipment for starting fires. And he had a copper axe[3]—a rare and valuable t 3 back when Ötzi was alive. The Plot Thickens Most interestingly, there were injuries on Ötzi’s body that showed he was a 4 . There was a piece from a stone arrow buried deep in his left shoulder. Scientists believe this is what killed him. There was also the blood of four other people on his clothes, as well as injuries on his hands. These injuries were not c 5 healed[4]—they were recent, but not as recent as the injury on his shoulder. Ötzi’s story quickly became a murder mystery[5]—the world’s earliest murder mystery. Why was he killed? Was he running away when he died? And why was he even there, in such a cold and faraway place? New studies in 2010 and 2018 revealed more clues. New Findings Scientists learned that Ötzi ate a big m 6 right before he died—they found goat and deer meat in his stomach. He was therefore probably resting, not running, when he died. They also learned that the arrow in Ötzi’s shoulder hit him from behind. Did someone injure Ötzi in a fight, and did Ötzi run up the mountain to e 7 ? Did that same person follow Ötzi up the mountain and shoot him in the back? It’s a good theory, but scientists will probably never completely know how or why Ötzi died.

In some computers, the memory is a group of magnetic cores (磁芯). In o 37 , it is a magnetic tape, disk, or drum. Information appears on tapes and disks as magnetic spots. In the smallest computers, the memory, or even the whole CPU, may be on a tiny piece of equipment called a chip (芯片). The CPU a 38 has an arithmetic (运算) unit. This is another main part which sorts information and computes—add, subtracts, and so on. An important unit of the CPU is called the “captain” of the computer because it can c 39 the work of the computer. It gets instructions from the memory. Then it tells the memory what information to send to the arithmetic unit. F 40 , it tells the arithmetic unit how to process the information. Input Equipment Input means information that is fed into a computer. B 41 a computer can do any work, information and instructions must go into it. Such information and instruction for a computer is called software. The input equipment takes information and instruction from the outside world.

America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused a 43 war between the two countries. The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just of the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace e 44 the day the British man’s pig decided to eat some of an American farmer’s potatoes. One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pigs owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue, and the s 45 got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2,000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the Americans were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to t 46 into a shooting war. When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were s 47 . Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldier on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave. Twelve years went by. Neither side wanted to give up the island, but they knew they had to do something. They asked the leader of Germany to help decide. After nearly a year of discussion, a d 48 was made. America would get the island. Finally, the Pig War was over and only one shot was fired.
