Reading Comprehension.1. The United States is a sports-loving country. Almost everyone in the country goes in for sports or is a sports fan of one kind or another. Some sports are called spectator sports, that is, sports to watch, such as baseball, football and basketball, because the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number of players. Other sports, such as skiing and swimming, are participant sports, that is, sports for people to engage in. Participant sports draw spectators only on special occasions. Some sports are commercial and professional, in which players are paid for their participation, and spectators are required to pay for their tickets. If you go to the United States, and want to watch a game in person, you can find the ticket information by reading a newspaper or by calling the ticket office of the team. The names of the ticket offices of various teams are listed in the telephone book. Most major sporting events are surely telecast live on television. And if you would rather play a sport than watch it, there are certainly many opportunities to do so. If you are interested in swimming or any indoor sports, go to the YMCA (Young Mens Christian Association) or the YWCA (Young Womens Christian Association) . They offer sports programs to the public at inexpensive rates. And at home, numerous people watch all kinds of sports on television, or listen to broadcasts on the radio. The sports fans at home are no less enthusiastic than those at the stadium. They sometimes even crash their televisions when the side which they favor loses the game. Also, Americans have as much fun reading and talking about sports. Usually several pages of the daily paper are devoted to discussing sports events. In almost any social gathering-dance, tea, cocktail, dinner, etc. - people get around to talk about popular players; the team that won last year; who is going to win the championship in the coming season; what records are likely to be broken; what kind of fishing rod or hunting gun is good to buy; or who is now the most popular baseball athlete and who is going to be the leading hitter and so on. So, a great topic for conversation is sports. And if you should visit the United States someday and stay there for some time, you are likely to get involved in a chat like that every day.31.

In the spring of 1974, Chinese archaeologists made a great find in Xian, Shanxi Province, when they unearthed the pottery statues of imperial guards buried in the Tomb of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty dating back over 2000 years. The pit consists of more than seven thousand pottery warriors, horses and wooden chariots in life size. The arms they hold are altogether real, some excavated swords being still sharp as anything. The news of these epoch-making archaeological findings spread far and wide. In the past decades it attracted tens of thousands of visitors including foreigners, overseas Chinese and compatriots from all over the world to Xlan, which boasts of having been the capital of several dynasties by the name of Changan since ancient times. The pottery army is well worth a visit for its unparalleled historical relics and rare treasures of exquisite works of art. All the pottery warriors and horses are so vivid and lifelike that you could almost feel them breathing. Obviously the means of artistic moulding adopted by unknown skilled craftsmen in the Qin Dynasty was ingenious. Their artistic attainments had reached the highest level. People who see them with their own eyes all acclaim the statues as the acme of perfection. Many a foreign visitor admires and praises them as a wonderful achievement. The former French Premier spoke highly of them. There have been seven wonders of the world, now the Pottery Army in the Qin Tomb is to be added, he said, Not to see the pyramids is not to see Egypt at all, while not to see the Pottery Army is not to see China at all.

In the 90s and beyond, the basic concept of health care is a simple one: take charge of your own life. You must be responsible for your own physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and social well-being. In the past, medicine was concerned mainly with treating diseases and improving living conditions. However, through scientific and technological progress, many diseases have been eliminated and others that were once fatal are now easily diagnosed and treated. Once dreaded infectious diseases are now usually curable. Syphilis was once one of the most feared diseases, but now it is easily treated. Appendicitis, once fatal, is now considered minor surgery. These rapid advances in medicine and technology, as well as many others, have led to a change in the traditional concept of health. In the past this concept was that you are healthy as long as you are not sick. However, today, the World Health Organizations definition of health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. In the 90s, our view of health includes the physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social dimensions. A person must be responsible for his or her own well-being. To achieve optimum health, you must take charge of your own life. You can do more for your own health than doctors can. In our rapidly developing economy, the health challenges we face are lifestyle-related diseases, such as heart disease, obesity, and certain cancers, as well as emotional disorders. The key to preventing these diseases is to change unhealthy lifestyles and habits and maintain healthy ones. Prevention is always better than treatment, and to do so, you need to know how to take an active role in managing your health, creating a healthy lifestyle, and coping with illness and stress. However, you, and only you, can decide that you need to make the necessary changes in your life.41.

I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many childrens books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and homes. So children in America grow up with good feelings toward animals. Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat, that is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those which are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a familys first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost. But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or a cat. So the animal stays outside the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.46. Why do Western people love their pets so much? A. Because their children dont have many friends. B. Because they have leisure time and enough money. C. Because they are influenced by animal stories. D. Because they regard pets as their children.47.

A purebred dog refers to a dog_. A. which is brought up by one family B. whose parents come from the same area C. whose parents belong to the single kind of dog D. which is bred in a pure house49. How do most Americans get their first pet? A. They buy it from a pet shop. B. They pick up one from the streets. C. They always get one from the animal shelter. D. They get it from their friends.50. Not all pets stay with their masters in the house all the time for_. A. its good for them to stay outside B. people think they are dirty C. some people dont want a house dog or a house cat D. they dont like to stay in their masters houseIV. Cloze An enormous fast-food industry gives hungry Americans the snacks they want when they want them. Ice cream, popcorn (玉米花) , 51 hot dogs are 52 sale everywhere.
