18．Read the passage and finish the exercises（阅读短文，完成练习）
The Crystal Palace Saloon with its mahogany bar stretching the length of the room is filled with tourists trying to recapture part of Arizona's western frontier history.And they are not alone.The ghosts of long﹣ago roughnecks，rebels and heroes are among them.
Among the patrons at the saloon it is possible to imagine Wyatt Earp leaning against the bar，a drink in one hand，deftly lighting a cigarette for a female employee with the other.Or over at a table in the comer，nicknamed"Doc"，is winning at gambling again.These men，helped mold the legends and the folklore of a town eventually dubbed"the town too tough to die"
The story behind the town's name is not as dreary as the name suggests.The land where Tombstone is built was once a barren desert.When a prospector，Ed Schieffelin，was willing to risk his life in the wilds in search of gold and silver，"All you'll ever find is your tombstone."Fortunately Schieffelin's stubbornness paid off.In 1877 he discovered a ledge of rock containing deep veins of silver.He humorously named his claim"The Tombstone".Within one year，Schieffelin and his partners had staked two more claims.The silver strike attracted settlers who went on to build a town and name it after the claim which set off the boom.
The rapidly expanding town took its first blow in 1882.A disastrous fire wiped ou an area measuring two blocks and destroyed 66 businesses in less than two hours.A year later another fire occurred.There was still plenty of silver in the mines；so，in both cases
But Tombstone's"tough"residents were also earning the town a shady reputation.Rumors of unexplained sudden deaths，gunfights and lynchings spread to nearby towns.Of course the famous fight at the O.K.Corral，between the Earps and the Clantons
On October 26，1881 the three Earp brothers，led by Wyatt，confronted Bill Clanton and eight of his gang members.Although the shoot﹣out lasted less than half a minute，three of Clanton's gang，were killed.The bodies were buried in Boothill Graveyard，an early cemetery in Tombstone which still has the original headstones.
After the gunfight the town settled down and concentrated on mining once again.Unfortunately，the next disaster was not long in arriving.In May 1886 a fire destroyed the pumps and hoisting woks of the Grand Central Mine.Most of the mines flooded and then were eventually shut down for good in 1914.The silver boom in Tombstone had ended.
Today，Tombstone is still very much the same.The town is so believably restored that it is almost like travelling back in time to the old West.Wooden sidewalks，mules roped to front﹣door railings and authentic buildings give a vivid impression of frontier life.Tombstone is a physical，and a town，alive

The Crystal Palace Saloon with its mahogany bar stretching the length of the room is filled with tourists trying to recapture part of Arizona's western frontier history.And they are not alone.The ghosts of long﹣ago roughnecks，rebels and heroes are among them.
Among the patrons at the saloon it is possible to imagine Wyatt Earp leaning against the bar，a drink in one hand，deftly lighting a cigarette for a female employee with the other.Or over at a table in the comer，nicknamed"Doc"，is winning at gambling again.These men，helped mold the legends and the folklore of a town eventually dubbed"the town too tough to die"
The story behind the town's name is not as dreary as the name suggests.The land where Tombstone is built was once a barren desert.When a prospector，Ed Schieffelin，was willing to risk his life in the wilds in search of gold and silver，"All you'll ever find is your tombstone."Fortunately Schieffelin's stubbornness paid off.In 1877 he discovered a ledge of rock containing deep veins of silver.He humorously named his claim"The Tombstone".Within one year，Schieffelin and his partners had staked two more claims.The silver strike attracted settlers who went on to build a town and name it after the claim which set off the boom.
The rapidly expanding town took its first blow in 1882.A disastrous fire wiped ou an area measuring two blocks and destroyed 66 businesses in less than two hours.A year later another fire occurred.There was still plenty of silver in the mines；so，in both cases
But Tombstone's"tough"residents were also earning the town a shady reputation.Rumors of unexplained sudden deaths，gunfights and lynchings spread to nearby towns.Of course the famous fight at the O.K.Corral，between the Earps and the Clantons
On October 26，1881 the three Earp brothers，led by Wyatt，confronted Bill Clanton and eight of his gang members.Although the shoot﹣out lasted less than half a minute，three of Clanton's gang，were killed.The bodies were buried in Boothill Graveyard，an early cemetery in Tombstone which still has the original headstones.
After the gunfight the town settled down and concentrated on mining once again.Unfortunately，the next disaster was not long in arriving.In May 1886 a fire destroyed the pumps and hoisting woks of the Grand Central Mine.Most of the mines flooded and then were eventually shut down for good in 1914.The silver boom in Tombstone had ended.
Today，Tombstone is still very much the same.The town is so believably restored that it is almost like travelling back in time to the old West.Wooden sidewalks，mules roped to front﹣door railings and authentic buildings give a vivid impression of frontier life.Tombstone is a physical，and a town，alive
