taboos were rules that told him what he must do and must not do. the eskimo had taboos connected with almost everything he did. he had to keep them in mind at all times. he believed that to break one

animals from the sea animals. he thought bringing them together would cause the hunting to be bad. there were other taboos concerning animals. when a dead seal was brought into the house, the women had to stop working. they had to give its spirit a drink of water. if they did not, the spirit would be angered. it would keep other animals from being caught. when the eskimo broken a taboo, he believed a black cloud formed around his head. he had to tell the others in the village what he had done. he thought that if he did not tell his neighbors, they would catch the black cloud. then the

to air once again.michael jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed(宣告), “im never coming back to play basketball. not in this lifetime. never. unless “i change my mind.” sometimes in february this year, jordan did change his mind. for the league, the timing couldnt be better. without jordan, ratings for the last seasons playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. this season, things have only gotten worse. despite the coming out of nice new stars like shaquille 0neal and detroits grant hill. the games image has been riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and dissatisfaction.for the bull, the question is whether jordan is in shape. according to reports, jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer he used to during his basketball career. and even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. but that still doesnt mean hes in game shape. in workouts（锻炼） last month, jordans shot was off, but teammate says his intensity was there. the bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.but to another audience, jordans career and comeback mean more than baskets and championships and market share. now all across america, in struggling neighborhoods his family and especially his relationship with his father are highly thought of. out here, to “be like mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.56. which title best gives the idea of the passage?a. michael jordan, a big star and hero b. basketball in the united statesc. jordan is coming back to the court d. jordan changed his mind57. when did jordan retire from the basketball court?a. he retired eighteen months before he vowed.b. after his father died, he was too sad to continue playing basketball.c. after a game, he walked away.d. when he was the most successful, he retired.58. what is the problem for jordan to come back to the bulls?a. he was not strong enough to play the game.b. in workouts last months, jordans shot was off.c. the trainer didnt agree to accept him.d. the bulls players hesitatingly want him back.59. the underlined word “intensity” is closest in meaning to_.a. force to do b. increase in strength c. strong-minded d. smart and skillful60. we can infer from the passage that _ .a. children are talking about jordan. b. jordan has a good relationship with his father.c. jordan means much more to children than playing basketball.d. jordans return made sure that the bulls would win.chealthy people with stressful jobs who work long hours but get little satisfaction from what they do have twice the risk of dying from heart disease as satisfied employees, according to a study. job stress has been known to cause heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular disease (心血管病). finnish scientists have now shown that even in healthy people the pressures of work can take their toll. high blood pressure, lack of
