In November, 1969, I was working for the federal government in Champaign, where I was a security guard at their Nike Hercules Missile Base. The base, located on Lake Shore Drive near Chicago, was surrounded by water and rock-filled banks. It was my job to check all the guard points, making sure the base was secure. When I arrived late one afternoon at the security office for my shift, I noticed a warning posted on the boards: large parts of the fencing on the west side of the lake had been cut and not yet repaired. I immediately called my supervisor Colonel Stabler in Champaign to report the problem. In response, Colonel Stabler told me to act as a sentinel relief man and double-check all stations. As each guard reported in, I would re-walk the area to see if the guard had missed anything. As night came on, there was a misty rain, and the fog from the lake began forming a heavy cloud around the area, limiting vision to a few feet. At 11:45 p. m. , one of the guards reported another section of the fence cut on the west side of the base. I immediately fastened on my pistol and headed for the area. When I arrived, a ghostly object startled me, moving along the shoreline. Then a loud splash sounded in the water. In a virtual panic, I locked and loaded my weapon. In the next instant, a white figure suddenly loomed up from the lake shore. "A ghost!" I thought. I was so upset and scared, I couldn’t scream, and my gun slipped from my lifeless finger. As I stood frozen in my tracks, the phantom moved steadily closer, signaling for me to approach. When it approached within a few feet, I bolted, fleeing the area as fast as I can run. When I got back to the security post, I dialed the lake patrol with shaking hands, demanding that they search the sea. Shortly afterward, they captured an escaped mental patient who admitted walking through the area. Under questioning, the man claimed he was a ghost from the past. In this escape, he had fitted a large bed sheet over his body, cutting crude holes for his eyes and mouth. Still a bit shaky, I called the mental institution to confirm the man’s escape, and directed the security team to escort him back. When I reported the incident to Colonel Stabler the next day, he said, "Larry, there’s a show on tonight you should go and see. " I said, "What show" He said, laughing, "Casper, the friendly ghost. " From that day onward, whenever the colonel called, he would ask, "Is Casper the friendly ghost busy\ The lake patrol finally captured ______.
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage. At the end of the passage, you will be given 20 seconds to answer the questions. Now, listen to the passage. What is the report mainly about
Archaeology has long been an accepted tool for studying prehistoric cultures. Relatively recently the same techniques have been systematically applied to studies of the more immediate past. This has been called "historical archaeology", a term that is used in the United States to refer to any archaeological investigation into North American sites that postdate the arrival of Europeans. Back in the 1930’s and 1940’s, when building restoration was popular, historical archaeology was primarily a tool of architectural reconstruction. The role of archaeologists was to find the foundations of historic buildings and then take a back seat to architects. The mania for reconstruction had largely subsided by the 1950’s and 1960’s. Most people entering historical archaeology during this period came out of university anthropology departments, where they had studied prehistoric cultures. They were, by training, social scientists, not historians, and their work tended to reflect this bias. The questions they framed and the techniques they used were designed to help them understand, as scientists, how people behaved. But because they were treading on historical ground for which there was often extensive written documentation and because their own knowledge of these periods was usually limited, their contributions to American history remained circumscribed. Their reports, highly technical and sometimes poorly written, went unread. More recently, professional archaeologists have taken over. These researchers have sought to demonstrate that their work can be a valuable tool not only of science but also of history, providing fresh insights into the daily lives of ordinary people whose existences might not otherwise be so well documented. This newer emphasis on archaeology as social history has shown great promise, and indeed work done in this area has led to a reinterpretation of the United States past. In Kingston, New York, for example, evidence has been uncovered that indicates that English goods were being smuggled into that city at a time when the Dutch supposedly controlled trading in the area. And in Sacramento an excavation at site of a fashionable nineteenth-century hotel revealed that garbage had been stashed in the building’s basement despite sanitation laws to the contrary. The word "framed" ( Line 4, Par
