One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains.Because
nobody likes the idea of getting lost,I always prepare before every
trip.But what’s the best navigation tool,a Global Positioning Sys-
tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?
Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail
(路线)I marked.One team of three carried a GPS,and the other[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]
team used a map and compass.
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the
whole hike,however,it took the map and compass team only 2
hours and 49 minutes.The biggest problem the GPS team met was
that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places.With
no map or compass,they had to walk around until they were in a
place where the signal was good.The map and compass team was
able to spot different landmarks,compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
When I head out on my future hikes,I’m bringing a map,a compass and a GPS to show me the way.

Basketball is still a young game. It’s over a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they couldn’t play outdoors, they were unhappy, and some even got into fights from time to time.
Some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent(发明)a game so that the students might have something to play with. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors , and the court(球场)was not very large.
Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make a score , the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet(英尺)above
the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr.
Naismith wanted to throw the ball into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets instead. That is how the game got its name.

Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers named Jacob Grim and William Grim. They liked to listen to old stories and then wrote them down. Then they had enough stories to make a book. You can guess the n   1.   of their book! It is Grimms’ Fairy Tales (《格林童话》)

They found that no one knew the answers to such questions. The tales were made up in very early times. Most of them were made up in days before people knew 6.   to write. People told the stories to one another and to their children. But only few still r   7.   them. “When these old people die, the stories will d   8.   with them.” said the brothers. We must write d   9.   all the stories we can find.”

People loved the book! They asked for more fairy stories. So the two brothers published two m 10.   books. In all, they collected 210 stories to put into their books.
