With the fascinating past and more than4 centuries of
history, St. Augustine is one the nation's oldest cities and
anAmerican treasure. Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, it is
home to many fineexamples of European architecture and wild scenic
views.
In 1513, while looking for the storiedfountain of youth, an
explorer found this land and called it Le Florida andclaimed it for
Spain. Then, in 1565, a Spanish conqueror established asettlement
there, and named it St. Augustine. Except for a twenty-year period
of English rule, Florida remained under Spanish rule until the
United Statestook control in 1821.
In the years after its founding, thecity of St. Augustine was
attacked by the French and English, and by nativeAmericans, who are
said to have shot flaming arrows at the city's defensivebuilding,
setting it on fire.
More recently, nature has stricken theregion with hurricanes,
Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still, St. Augustineinjures. As
the region recovers, visitors shouldn't overlook it. St.
Augustinehas suffered much in its long history. Hopefully, visitors
will come andperhaps support the Florida coast recovery while
discovering its centuries ofhistory and miles of coastal
beauty.
11. Whichcountry first governed Florida in
history?
12. Which of thefollowing statements is true of St.
Augustine?
13. What is thepassage mainly about?
Questions14 through 16 are based on the following
passage.
Transport for London has a lost propertyoffice, which
collects the items left behind as people flow through the
city'stransport system each day.
It is the biggest lost property officein Europe, beaten
globally only by Tokyo's. 65 staffs sort through hundreds
ofthousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which
is run by PaulCohen. According to the latest data, Cohen's team
dealt with over three hundredthousand items in the first quarter of
the year.
As the data reveals, very few areclaimed. For example, of the
nearly thirteen thousand keys handed in to lostproperty last year,
just under one thousand four hundred were returned to theirowners,
says Cohen. Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within
threemonths. After that time, stock becomes the property of
Transport for London,and it's not necessarily the items you’d
expect.
Wander through the three basement floorsthat make up the lost
property office gives us an idea of what we value enoughto recover
and what we're happy to let go. Cohen has discovered
somethinginteresting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said,
“If you have one shoe,you are more likely to go looking for the
other. If you lose two shoes, well,it’s slightly out of sight and
out of mind.” He guesses many people regard lossas an opportunity
to treat themselves to something new.
14: What is thepassage mainly about?
15: Which of thefollowing is true of the lost
items?
16: According toCohen, why don't some people get their lost
shoes back?
