Find out here.QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSWhy is it called hockey?Ah. You see the name comes from the French hoquet or a hooked stick. But it cant be French? I thought, like most games, the British wrote the rules, the French created an intentional association and the headquarters is in Geneva, Switzerland?Almost correct! Yes, the rules were written by England, Ireland and Wales in 1900, and yes, the Federation Internationale de Hockey was formed by Frenchman Paul Leauteil in 1924. The headquarters is actually in Lausanne, Switzerland.So it is quite a recent sport then?Not at all! Ball games played with sticks have a long historyrecords show similar games played by the Egyptians, Greeks, Persians and Aztecs, as well as lacrosse or baggataway in North America. But this one came from the British Isles. Ireland has hurling, Scotland has shiny, Wales has banty and England has hockey.That ball looks very hard. Do people get hurt?The goalkeeper has to wear special protection called padding. Also the ball shouldnt go above shoulder-height.Im still scared. Ive heard there are bullys in hockey.There are but its not what you think. It doesnt mean some players frighten or scare others. In hockey a bully is when a player from each side touch sticks before they restart the game.Those sticks still look scary to me. Dont the people with the biggest sticks always win?No! In fact, in the 1920s the Indians created much better sticks where the heads were smaller and rounder. This allowedthem to dribbleto run with the ball.And that was better because.? Well, India won Olympic gold in 1928, and then won every Olympic after Pakistan beat them in 1960.Hey, how does a hockey player say Yes?Thats an old joke: Ho-kay!56. You can probably read the text _.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eyes. Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “Ill stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty.” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the grass on the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law died of a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop to move them and plant them to my wildflower garden.61. The author couldnt see the blue flowers bloom in the afternoon because _.A. the temperature was too high for themB. the writer only passed them in the morning C. someone took them into housesD. someone picked them away62.

The underlined word “mowed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. cut B. sold C. planted D. sowed 64. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. Beslowtopromiseandquicktoperform.B. Grasp the chance to do what you want to.C. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. D. Everything comes to him who waits.CMany parents may think that each new sibling(brother or sister) offers their children the gift of companionship. But while we tend to think that siblings teach one another conflict resolution and other interpersonal skills, new research says they are no better off socially than children without siblings.Most studies look at the negative consequences of having siblings in terms of educational outcome. said Donna Bobbitt-Zeher, the lead author of the study. But we decided to look at social skills to see if there was any other possible benefit to having brothers or sisters. She and her co-author, Douglas Downey are sociologists at Ohio States Marion campus, and neither is an only child. They presented their findings at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in August.The paper is in large part a reply to a 2004 study, Playing Well With Others in Kindergarten: The Benefits of Siblings at Home, also co-authored by Dr. Downey, which found that kindergarten teachers rated children without siblings worse in interpersonal skills, self-control and problem behaviors.But an only child isnt necessarily a loner and misfit(不合群). First, the social advantages found in children with siblings in the kindergarten study were quite modest. Second, the study relied on teacher evaluations, and teachers may not be reliable judges of friendships among their charges.And now it seems that any benefits documented in kindergarten disappear altogether by middle school. Using a system of measurement called peer nomination, in which youths are asked to identify their friends by name, Dr. Downey and Dr. Bobbitt-Zeher drew on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, with a sample size of 13,466 students in 7th through 12th grades. They then counted how many people named each individual as a friend. The result: children without siblings had just as many friends as children with siblings.I see the two studies as natural progress, showing what happens to the only children who didnt have much interaction before kindergarten, Dr. Downey said. Another study he is working on shows that the same only children evaluated in kindergarten had caught up by fifth grade.While the studies dont examine the cause for the disappearing social boost(推动) to kindergartners with siblings, Dr. Downey thinks that continuing school, youth clubs and other group activities especially in an era of overscheduled children provide enough opportunity for onlys to sharpen their skills.65. What is the fixed idea that people have about children with siblings?A. Their social skills are better than the only childrens.B. They depend on their brothers or sisters too much.C. They have the same interpersonal skills as the onlys.D. They always fight with their brothers or sisters.66. Donna Bobbitt-Zehers new study is to find out _.A. the negative consequences of having siblingsB. the factors that influence childrens social skillsC. the biggest advantage the only children ownD. if having siblings does any other good to children67. According to the passage, kindergarten teachers evaluations of only children _.A. were objective B. hurt the onlys C. may be unfair D. were appropriate68. The “peer nomination” was used to _.A. see the number of friends each of the children hasB. identify their friends name for the childrenC. elect the most popular child in the kindergartenD. help children make friends with others69. What can we learn about the only children from the last paragraph?A. The study load is too heavy for them to bear.B. Group activities may help improve their social skills.C. It is a pity for them to be overscheduled.D. They are too busy to sharpen their social skills.DChina will have a record number of graduates moving into the job market this summer. Seven million people will finish their studies this year and begin to think about career. But Chinas economy is more like a plane trying to find a landi
