Section Ⅳ　Discovering Useful Structures [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 In January, 2017, we participated in an archaeological (考古学的) dig near the Okbo Elementary School in Kiyotake, Japan, along with housewives and elderly farmers.It was really cold, and a strong wind was blowing all the time. The work we did was to dig down in the soil 5 cm at a time and look for something ancient such as earthen vessels, stone tools, and arrowheads.Sometimes we dug down 30cm at once. We dug down to some layers which could be seen on the soil wall.The different colors of these layers showed what had happened at different ages. Also, in a few places where ancient people cooked, there were the remains of ashes and charcoal.The material that we longed to find was “Kokuyoseki”， or obsidian (黑曜石), a clear black stone for cutting meat and making arrowheads, because it is really hard to find and is beautiful. From 8：30 am to 5：00 pm, we continued to dig in the soil.Then we had to get rid of the soil which we dug.The cold climate, the cold wind, and the dust made it hard for us.We couldn't open our eyes. Sometimes we measured the size of each stone and our boss drew the shape.It was really detailed work and made us exhausted, but we still carried out the excavation (挖掘)． Now, however, we feel it was a really good opportunity because we were able to feel the ancient mystery and the reality of the work.Besides, we were able to become friends with the housewives and farmers who were also participating in the dig. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名学生，有幸参加了一次考古挖掘活动。在这次活动中，作者经历了考古挖掘的辛苦，学到了很多考古知识，也收获了友谊。 1．What does the author of the text mainly tell us?
