It may be walking, bicycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some 1 football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering. Those

7、 who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often 2 with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, 3, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which m

When the crops were

13、good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most d

14、ramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years farmers mistrusted speculative (投机的) grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold the

15、ir wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due, only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious

16、 to check inflation (通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors (监视员) to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended, and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the governmen

It may be said

21、 that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are nor surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving thei

22、r body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the band even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible en

23、joyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance.

How did these players g

28、et that waywas it through training and practice, or are great players “born, not made”?First, these players come from places that have had famous stars in the pastplayers that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cupthree

29、 from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national teamor a really great playerfrom North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin p

30、laying the game at the age of three or four. Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhooda poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beat

31、les, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why

32、they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.(10分)(1): According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A： Soccer is popular all over the worl

Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become allimportant in
