V. Read the passage and choose the best answer. GOLD IN ALASKA
(1)Alaska’s first major gold discovery occurred in Juneau in 1880, when two prospectors guided by a native found gold in a creek that, of course, is now called Gold Creek. (2) The city itself is named for Joseph Juneau, one of the miners, while the other miner, Richard Harris, lent his name to the Harris Ming District. Their find led to the discovery of a lode of gold quartz that has supported mining to present times. (3) Prospectors arrived in the 1890s as a result of gold strikes in the Klondike and near Nome. Many took steamship to Skagway in Southeast Alaska, where they began their trek by land to the Klondike. (4)The discovery of gold at Anvil Creek in 1898 brought thousands of fortune seekers to the Nome area; gold was later discovered on Nome’s Bering Sea beaches, where it is still found today. Prospectors can be seen straining gravel in their sluice boxes along the shore, perhaps just hoping to find enough gold to pay for their annual summer trips to Nome. A major commercial gold dredging operation was conducted offshore in the 1990s.
The gold rush gave many communities in Alaska their start. Gold was discovered in Fairbanks, for example, in 1902, and it became an important supply post as well as center of mining activity where major operations continue today.

The relationship of economics to history is rather different from that of the other social sciences. Curious as it may sound , this relationship in many respects comes close to that between history and literature. Economics, after all, is the science (in the broad meaning of the term) of something which men actually do. Even if the science did not exist, men would still make economic decisions, economic predictions, and participate in the various forms of economics organization which , in part, it is the economist’s function to describe. Similarly, the disciplined study of literature is concerned with something which men would also do anyway even if the disciplined study did not exist: compose poems, act out dramas, write novels, and read them.
