23、haeology didnt become a widely recognized science and schools didnt recognize the subject as a scholarly pursuit until the 19th century. The term itself was _58_ in 1837.

31、on given in the passage you have just read. A Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). During its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens. In reading the

32、work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of Frances spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the governm

33、ent often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many peoples blood boil, yet Dickens including class, working the of exploitation and oppression nobilitys the on instead focused peasants, as the causes of the revolution. The Marquis,

34、one of the books characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid - 1700s. The review pointed out that government would have punished nobles who m

35、istreated or murdered. Nobles may have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789. Dickens account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use

36、in defense against a possible attack by the kings troops. Dickens does include some accurate details, however, such as the crowds finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the packs executing（處決）the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. The scene that the women knit（編織）as the

37、y watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work. Dickens descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths given readers some idea

38、of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted about a year. During the Terror the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried（審判）and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thousand without a trail. Those executed included peo

39、ple who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility. 66.

C As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease - especially in term s of changing our many unhealthy behavior, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.

53、 line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further.
