They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely tro
26、uble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage
27、, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays gam
28、es for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be , too, in particular games, that it is his place to
29、give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss some one he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and, more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rule
30、s may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.56What is true about children when they play games?AThey can stop playing at any time they like.

33、vite grown-ups to play with themCchildrens games can do them a lot of good Dchildren play games without reasons BTo find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) thei
34、r borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did n
35、ot know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called
36、it. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the countrys history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “village” Canada is!61. In the early sixteenth ce
37、ntury, the King of France ordered Cartier to _A.find the new world B.build an entirely new countryC.go and visit the American Indians D. get more information about America and find a way to Asia62. Having reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence Cartier thought _A.he had already got to India B. it was a wat

In the early sixteenth century, Quebec was only _.A.an Indian village B.a little town in southern CanadaC.a village at the entrance to the Gulf of St. LawrenceD.the place which we call Canada now64. Pic
39、k out the right statements from the following _A.Quebec was a village and Stadacona was anotherB.Cartier mistook Quebec for StadaconaC.Stadacona was a village in QuebecD.Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec then65. “Canada” was first used to refer to _A.a small town in Stadacona B.the place
40、called QuebecC.a long water passage D.a huge village including Quebec and Stadacona CCats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their
41、regular sleep with occasional cat naps（打盹）. Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods（情绪）as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their
42、moods. People might become happier.A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. These famous men were known for

46、 their habits D. persuade people to take naps DFor thousands of years humans have used herbs, roots, and other things from nature to cure disease. Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contain
47、s. They find the active ingredient, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines.In recent years, many people in the US have taking what are legally known as dietary supplements（补药）. They may be vitamins or
48、 minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always t
49、rue. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects.The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences peop
50、le have had with dietary supplements.Dietary supplements arent tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for
51、the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury（水银）.

66、lth, and science.书面表达Boys and girls，We high school students do have some growing pains，but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely.First，some of us are upset about their figures and looks. Its unnecessary and its not important at all. We neednt care about it. It is ones inner beauty that matters
67、.Second，we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers，parents and classmates. Facing this，we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them，trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do us good.Third，we may fall behind others，which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently，full of determination.Last，some of us dont have much pocket money，so they feel unhappy. Isnt it strange？So long as we have some，thats enough. And we can learn to earn money!Thats all. Thank you.
