Question

閱讀理解 　　An ancient Egyptian mummy returned home 150 years after being stolen by a Canadian doctor． 　　The mummy is believed to be Ramses Ⅰ, the founder of the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt．It was ?stolen? in the 19th century, at the time when many ?explorersfrom Europe and America wanted to find the mummified bodies of Pharaohs(法老)．They had heard stories of the Pharaohs being buried with treasures of great artistic, ?scientific and financial value． 　　But when King Tut was discovered in 1922 in Egypt they realized the Pharaohs might have been buried with something else as well－curses(咒語)． 　　As soon as Englishman Howard Carter found King Tut’s tomb, strange things started to happen．On the night of the discovery, Carter’s canary(金絲雀)was killed by a snake．It was the same kind of snake found on a symbol worn by the Pharaohs on their foreheads．A few months later, Lord Carnarvon, the man who paid for Carter’s trip, died suddenly in Cairo of unknown causes．By 1935, no fewer than 21 people connected with the discovery of the tomb had died． 　　After much argument over whether the curse of King Tut really existed, four years ago German scientist Gotthard Kramer tried to find it out for certain．He discovered that bacteria(細(xì)菌)on the mummy could have been responsible for the deaths．“When this bacteria enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes, ”Kramer said, “it can result in illness or even death, particularly to those with bad health．” 　　But perhaps the power of the curse is in the minds of those who believe it．Carter, the man who actually opened the tomb, lived to 66 before dying of natural causes．“Allsensible people should dismiss(不予理會(huì))these curse ideas as rubbish, ”he said． (1) The 19th century was a time when _________． [　　] A． people from America and Europe tried to get mummified bodies of Pharaohs B． many mummified bodies of Pharaohs were destroyed?

D． If you want to know more about curse ideas, you should dismiss them
