When the crown was ready, the king had a doubt: was it made of real gold? He suspected the goldsmith might have mixed less expensive metal with the gold. The king asked Archimedes, a clever scientist, to solve the problem. Archimedes thought hard. One day, when he stepped into a full bath, water ran over the edge. Suddenly, he realized: the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of his body. He then did an experiment. He filled a bowl with water, put the crown in, and measured the displaced water. He did the same with a block of pure gold of the same weight. The crown displaced more water, proving it had less gold than expected.

Many people doubt it. To tell the truth, real gold is soft and heavy. If you scratch it gently, it won’t leave a black mark—less pure metal might. Jade, a jewelry seller, teaches people how to check. “First, fill a cup with water. Real gold sinks because it’s dense. If it floats, it’s not real,” she says. She also uses a small tool to test the metal. “Customers need confirmation before buying,” she explains. Last week, a customer thought her ring was gold, but Jade found it was just painted. The customer was upset, but Jade helped her return it. “I want people to be happy with their purchases,” Jade says. 1. What is a sign that gold is real? A. It floats in water. B. It’s light. C.

By asking experts. 3. What does “confirmation” mean in the passage? A. 怀疑 B. 确认 C. 放弃 D. 展示 4. Why was the customer upset last week? A. Her ring was not real gold. B. Jade was rude. C. The ring was too expensive. D. She lost her ring. 5. What does Jade want for her customers? A. To buy expensive jewelry. B. To learn to make gold. C. To be happy with their buys. D.

At first, only men could take part in events like racing and wrestling. Women joined later, in 1900. There were no gold medals then—winners got a silver medal and a crown of olive leaves.
