But it wasnt always like that.The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew. Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and sweet.By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. He also said that chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people from feeling tired.Although today many millions of people chew gum, not everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty. The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths and put it on to the backs of seats or other places. （1）请将处翻译成汉语（2）请根据处内容完成下面句子。People make chewing gum soft and sweet _something to it.（3）把处改为直接引语。He also said“, Chewing gum_ people work better and it _people from feeling tired.”4. （8分）阅读理解We walked all afternoon with Infadoos and Scragga. Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us.“When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.”“Do you live here in peace?” I asked.“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “The king at that time had two sonstwins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day.“Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight.”As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude. As soon as we were comfortable in a hut, they came with milk, honey, and cooked food.A young man brought a fat young ox which he killed and cut into pieces.

Do you often fight with them?Hu Muqing, 16, of Shenyang, complains that his parents are only concerned about his grades and not his other needs. He and his parents fight the most about the time he spends watching TV and on the Internet. The Shenyang teenager said, “They think because Im in middle school I should concentrate on my work. However, I need to be able to relax. Most of my friends can watch TV and surf the Web a lot.

Sun suggests that teenagers should learn to communicate with their parents effectively. “Find the right time for a talk. On Mothers Day or Fathers Day, say Thank you to your parents or give them a small gift with a letter so they can get inside your head a little,” he advised. Sun also believes that teenagers have to work to earn trust and respect from their parents. “You need to make sure they know that youre not going to screw up (搞砸) your exams or let them down.
