We cannot work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular form is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as basketball and football; There are also individual (个人的) sports, such as swimming and running. Skating and mountain climbing are the most popular recreation for people who like outdoor sports.Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.It doesnt matter whether we like indoor recreation or take part in outdoor sports. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time, and enjoy some forms of recreation.61 People want to take part in sports in order to_A. keep healthy and enjoy life B. make friendsC. find a good job D. make more money62 Why do many people like watching sports on TV or listening to them on the radio?A. Because they like sports, but they dont like to take part in them.B. Because they dont enjoy sports.C. Because they dont enjoy life.D. Because they dont need recreation.63 The passage mainly tells us that_A. basketball is a kind of team sportB. everyone who enjoys sports should take part in themC. different people have different ways of relaxingD. indoor recreation is not as important as outdoor sports BOn March 31,John Slater,a 45-year-old man from Cardiff, in the UK, will dress in a giant rabbit suit and parade in front of over 100 people.John Slater will hide chocolate eggs in bushes, trees and flowers beds. Later in the day, about 60 local children will race to find the eggs until Slater blows his whistle. Then the child with the most eggs will win a prize.This event is called an Easter Egg Hunt. Slater will be one of many Easter bunnies bringing chocolate eggs and joy to children across Britain on Easter Sunday.I love seeing the childrens faces. They have no idea that it is really me under the rabbit suit, Slater said.The Egg Hunt is an Easter tradition in Britain and the U. S. Children enjoy two weeks off schools. And most adults get Good Friday (Friday before Easter) and Easter Monday of April.Easter marks the end of a time called Lent, which lasts for 40 days.During this period, many British people give up something they enjoy. Children often give up chocolate and are rewarded with chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday. Easter is also a family time. Families come together to enjoy traditional food, such as hot cross buns. These are bread buns with a cross on top, which represents the cross upon which Jesus died. Other traditional foods include roast lamb and roast duck.Easter is a holiday enjoyed by all, especially children. As 8-year-old Kierran Mann, from the north of England, says, I love Easter because I love holidays and I love chocolate. 64 John Slater will dress in a giant rabbit suit and parade in front of over 100 people becauseA. he is sick in mindB. he hopes to celebrate Easter in this wayC. he likes making people surprised in a special wayD. he doesnt want people to see his face65 When John Slater blows his whistleA. the children will come up to him asking for chocolate eggsB. the children will race to find the eggsC. the children will stop looking for the eggsD. the children will be given many gifts66 According to the passage, we know Jesus Christ died onA. Sunday B. Monday C. Friday D. Saturday67 Kienan Mann enjoys Easter becauseA. he can receive many presents from his friendsB. he can spend most of his time playing with his friendsC. he has time to enjoy traditional food, such as hot cross bunsD. he loves holidays and chocolate68 During Easter, people usually enjoy一一一一food.A. home-cooked B. traditional C. fast D. sweet CEvery year, as the Spring Festival draws near, most Chinese people will get excited to make preparation for the most important festival and make plan for the winter break. It is a little like Christmas in the US, but there are some differences between the two festivals.Superficially speaking, both the major Chinese and the major Western holidays come during the cold season, which in both cases calls for extra eating. In western countries, cookies and cupcakes begin just after Thanksgiving in November and show up everywhere from the boss desk to fireplace mantle. Turkey, smashed potatoes and other food that protects a body from cold come later. Similar things happen in China. Entering lunar December, most families will make shopping plans for the coming big day and food is certainly one of the most important things to be considered. At the end of the month, both parents in each family will be very busy-the father is busy buying food while the mother is busy cooking.A deeper similarity is tradition-or the distortion of it. Christmas, as the letters Christ suggests, is a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. Many people pray this day, but others have severed or minimized the religious connection. In China, people living in cities or towns, though they dont plan to sow seeds this month, still celebrate on the big day for farmers.Followers of both holidays also differ from each other. While Chinese people travel to the homes of elder relatives, Americans usually call or send cards. Westerners prefer Christmas cards to fireworks. Around Christmas, family gifts come by the stack instead of one by one, since adults may have only one day free to celebrate.But the most curious difference concerns students. Chinese students who head home for Spring Festival sometimes report getting bored by the end of vacation, yet American students seldom get bored around Christmas and western New YearNot everyone follows or enjoys classic holiday traditions. Students in western countnes may get upset, as too much homework, travel complexities or bad family relations may disrupt the relatively short holiday season. In China, more and more college students choose to travel or work during the winter holiday instead of going home to stay with their families. Its against the tradition but many people accept it. 69 According to the passageA. people eat more each meal during the holidays than they do on usual daysB. people have an extra meal during the holidays besides breakfast, lunch, and supperC. people usually eat outside during the holidaysD. holiday food is much richer than the food on usual days70 The passage implies that ChristmasA. is a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus ChristB. is a pure religious day on which people prayC. is a traditional holiday which everyone enjoysD. originated from religion, but its religious importance is not treated seriously as before71 Whats the meaning of the underlined word disrupt in Paragraph 6?A. bring. . . into disorder B. make. . . moneyC. make. . . short D. delay72 Usually, people who enjoy classic Christmas traditions may NOTA. have a get-together with close family membersB. travel to the homes of elder relationsC. be excited about ChristmasD. get in touch with the distant family members. DIt gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I cant imagine we will do without him when hes gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bills leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month. As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this companys most competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work73 The speech was madeA. at a welcome meetingB. after someone diedC. when somebody was leavingD. when they had a new manager74 When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had to help him.A. many people B. nobody C. about 37 people D. very few people people 75
