During the winter of 1891—1892, Dr. James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield,Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseballseason. He attached fruit baskets overhead on the wall at opposite ends of the gymnasium. He organized nine-man teams to play his new game, using a soccer ball. What theplayers did was to throw the ball into one basket and keep the other team from tossing the ball into the opposite basket. There have since been many changes in the rules. Forexample, the number of players on a team has been reduced to 5. But the game is basically the same today.Americans introduced it to the Philippines in 1900 and to Europeduring World War I. Being adopted by foreign countries, it soon became a worldwide sport. It is interesting that although basketball was creaｔed as an indoor game, incountries other than the United States, it is now played almost entirely outdoors.1. When did basketball start?A) In the early 18th century.B) In the early 19th century.C) In the late 19th century.D) In the late 18th century.2. For what purpose was the game of basketball invented?A) To provide exercise for the students who don’t play football.B) To provide exercise for the students who don’t play baseball.C) To provide exercise played in between the football and baseball season.D) To provide exercise played at the opening of the baseball season.3.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Basketball was first played with a soccer ball.B) There have been many changes in the rules since the game was invented.C) Basketball was begun earlier in Asia than in Europe.D) Basketball was invented by a soccer player.5. What can’t we learn from the passage?A) Basketball is not played outdoors in America.B) Basketball has replaced soccer as a popular sport in the world.C) Basketball was invented as an indoor game.D) Basketball is played mostly outdoors outside of the U.S.“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new”or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to showthe way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s socool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep somecredibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”?I can. And I think they are also very cool.1.

Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usuallywent to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. Thesecarts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner bigenough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menuof sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longercarts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths,and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoyeating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.1.
