Each team had 9 players, with 5 at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 oclock in the evening. The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. On the second night, they fell asleep as soon as they stopped, Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological（心理学的）one.

I always think that while we are alive, we should try to do as much as possible.I have been trying many musical instruments and I want to share with you my feelings about music.Most of my family members have been involved in music. My grandpa and his brother were both music professors before they retired. My mum, who now is a state-level performer, close to study music and so did her two brothers. They have all mastered different musical instruments such as Guzheng, Yangqing, Erhu and the drums.Without doubt I have been affected a lot by them. I began to learn to play the Guzheng, a Chinese musical instrument, which generally includes 21 strings, followed my mum when I was six.

These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.” Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London. He had been studying some germs（细菌）that he was growing on a plate. They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people. Dr Fleming found that some mould（霉菌）had floated in through the window landing on the plate. It had killed some of the germs it had touched.“This certainly looks promising.” Fleming said. “We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs.”He named the strange mould “penicillin”. It proved to be a killer of many germs. Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected（注射）with penicillin. The twenty-five untreated mice died, but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin. Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out. Hardly anybody took any notice of it.In 1938 Dr Howard Florey, an Australian working in London, read Dr Flemings report and was very interested. He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.When World War II broke out, it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England. Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made. It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.9. Dr Alexander Fleming _. .

Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital affairsbut the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them, the majority would say“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I dont see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations in China）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. Whats more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers of“New Chinese”are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones. I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.17. The main point of the passage is .Afamily plays a very important role in America.Bthere is something about family for Americans to learn from China.Ca proper balance between work and family needs to be found for ChineseDthe Chinese have a proper balance between work and play18. According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .AAmericans love their families more than their jobs.BAmericans often set aside their childrens needsCAmericans have a strong work desireDAmerican parents place the needs of their children above their own19. It can be concluded from the passage that .Ain the authors eyes, the breakdown of the two-parent family in China will be more serious than that in the U. S. in the future.Btoday young Americans should reduce their material comforts in the interests of their childrens futureCChinese marriage is said to be all perfectDat present, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in China20. What does the author think according to the passage?AChildren living in one-parent families badly need their parents love and helpBChildren with one-parent need their parents money badly.CChinese value whole marriage more than before. DWork is dearest to most Chinese.(A) DACB(B) B C C D (C) CADD(D)ADCB (E)BDBAAWe arranged that Kissinger(基辛格) would fly to Vietnam early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahyas help, he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan jet would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissingers trip was given the code(密码) named Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went quite smoothly. His slight illness in Islamabad received only attention from reporters covering(采访) him. They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities(联络设备) between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to keep it secret. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word Eureka which he would use if his mission(使命) were successful and the presidential trip had been arranged.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable (电传) from Kissinger had arrived.“Whats the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied. 1.
