Since the football season had ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher James Nasmyth had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nasmyth showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym and explained that they were going to use around European football At first, everybody try to throw ball into the basket no matter where he was standing .Pass ! Pass! Nasmyth kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called basketball, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary fruit baskets with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to clime up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.

Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us
healthy.But these are not their only use.They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together.In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain.The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go.All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully.For those who work with their brains most of the day.The practice of such skills is especially useful.

Sports and games are also very useful for character-training.In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues (品德) as unselfishness, courage, discipline (遵纪守法) and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effects on a child's character as what is learned by experience.The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils'time is spent in classes, studying lessons.So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up.If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

36.When we play tennis we have to ()

A.use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the muscles

B.make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same time

C.use mainly the arms and legs to hit the ball

D.use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back

37.The “complicated chain of events”refers to ()

A.the passing of information and making of decisions

B.the meeting and hitting back of the ball

C.the coordinated (协调的) movements of eyes, brain and muscles

D.a lot of practice before playing tennis

38.By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children ()

A.live a better life when they grow up

B.know better how to behave properly in their future life

C.understand better the virtues they learn in books

D.All of the above

39.According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by ().

A.what he does out of class

B.what he learns in books

C.his place in society

D.his lessons at school

40.What kind of virtue can playing football build in a player? ()

Everything has a name. All people, places, and things have names. For example, Jenny is th
e name of a student from England. England is the name of her country. Cities and towns have names, too. Schools and office buildings also have names. All things have names. For example, tomato, potato and bean are names of vegetables. Apple, orange and banana are names of fruits. Names are important.

We use names every day. When we meet a new person, we usually ask, "What's your name?" It is important to learn a person's name. Most people have two names. Some people have more names. Names are different all over the world. In Jenny's class, Jenny must learn the names of students from all over the world. This is very difficult because the names are very different.

In the United States, most people have a first name, a middle name, and a last name. Parents, choose the first and middle names for their baby. There are names for boys 'and names for girls. For example, John, Peter, Tom, and Mike are all names for boys. Elizabeth, Betty, Susan, and Mary are all names for girls, The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father's family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.

Sometimes a person has a nickname (绰号) , too: A nickname is a special name. It is not a person's real name. Abraham Lincoln's nickname was "Honest Abe". An honest person always tells the truth, and Abe is short for Abraham. Because he was an honest person, his nickname was "Honest Abe". Pele (贝利) is a nickname, too. The football player's real name is Edison Arantes de Nascimento, but everyone calls him Pele. Do you have a nickname?

Names are different all over the world. They can be long or short, but they are always very important.

Why does everything have a name?

A.It is very interesting to have a name.

B.It is very easy to be remembered.

C.It is very easy to be told from others.

South Dakota ranks completely the last in average teacher salary and 42nd in the spending
per pupil. But its 1989 American College Test scores are among the highest in the nation.

In knowledge and. skills South Dakota has a normal teacher combination--good, bad and the not very good. Nor does the state place enormous emphasis on academic achievements. Many schools fail to require enough homework and a proposal to require a foreign language for college entrance caused a storm of public anger. But South Dakota’s students have three things going for them: strong families, small schools and old-fashioned values.

South Dakota's marriage and birth rates are among the highest in the nation, and its divorce (离婚) rates are among the lowest. South Dakota's kids are subject to the same troubles that tempt young people elsewhere--drugs, drinking and sex. But because fewer are in pain of emotion from home situations, fewer seek these troublesome escapes.

South Dakota is also fortunate that most of its schools are small. Schools like these are often the focus of community life; there are a lot of school plays, concerts and football games in school. And as much as a fourth of a local newspaper may be school news. It must be difficult for students and teachers not to feel that all eyes are upon them.

And South Dakota enjoy the old values, everyone shares the same pattern of behaviour. A school's authority is seldom weakened by a parent, or vice versa (反之亦然).

Which of the following is mentioned about South Dakota in this passage?

A.A special combination is required by the state in selecting teachers.

B.Forty-two students won an award in a national test in 1989.

C.Teachers are not as well paid as those in other states.

D.Academic achievements are highly regarded by the state and the public.
