6．The New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls'sport，yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport．In addition，they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and professional ones．Sideline cheerleaders'main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers，which should not be considered a sport．On the other hand，professional cheerleaders aim to compete．
    A sport，according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors，is a"physical activity against a competitor，governed by rules under which a winner is declared，and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants．"Because cheerleading follows these guidelines，it is a sport．
Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity．Like gymnasts，cheerleaders must learn to tumble （翻滚）．They perform standing back flips，round flip flops，and full layout twists．Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses．This is where the"fliers"are thrown in the air，held by"bases"in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates．
    Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play，so does competitive cheerleading．The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area．
    Competitive cheerleaders'goal is to be the best．Just like gymnasts，they are awarded points for difficulty，technique，creativity and sharpness．The more difficult a mount or a stunt，the sharper and more in-sync the motions，the better the score．Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization，first place is out of reach．
    So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport？It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use bal ls or manipulate objects （if you do not count megaphones，pompoms and signs as objects）．Wrestling，swimming，diving，track，cross-country，gymnastics，ice-skating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls．Some people argue that cheerleaders are just"flirts in skirts"with their only job to entertain the crowd，but cheerleaders today compete against other squads and work just as hard as other athletes．
    Competitive cheerleading is a sport．It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants．Hopefully，cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball，and even appear in the Olympic s since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports．

8．We all use money every day．It is essential because we can pay money for whatever we want．Money is recognized as banknotes and coins．
However，many years ago people couldn't go to the shop and buy what they wanted．They had to get what they wanted through the barter trade（实物交易）．It was really difficult，for the barter often depended on coincidence of wants．For example，the seller of grain has to find a buyer who wants to buy grain and who also could offer something the seller wants to buy．And one more example，if a wheat farmer needs what a fruit farmer produces，a direct exchange is impossible because seasonal fruit would spoil before the grain harvest．The solution is to trade fruit for wheat indirectly through a third intermediate commodity（中间的商品），such as cattle，salt，shells，wine．However，commodity money had their disadvantages．For example，cattle，fur，precious stones couldn't be cut into smaller pieces and it was inconvenient to keep and transport them．Thus coins were invented．
The earliest known coins in the western world came from Lydia in about 650B．C．Greek cities，the Great Persian Empire and Roman Empire quickly adopted the new useful technique of metal currency．And by the end of the 6th century，coinages were common throughout the region．However，coins as well as commodity money had many disadvantages．For instance，coins quickly show wear（磨损） and they usually have small value，so it's difficult to count large sums of coins．
At first，paper money was used in China in about 650A．D．After then，it was used in Persia and Japan．In Europe，paper money was firstly produced in the Netherlands in the 16th century and in the USA in the 17th century．Paper money is worthless but symbolic．In other words，paper money is just a note．It has a purchasing power because the government announces it as money and citizens accept it universally．

B．History of money．

5．Mark Twain was a great writer．He was from the USA．He was born in 1835．He was also a famous speaker．He was famous for his sense of humour．Many people liked to listen to him，because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time．
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing．Before he was going to leave，one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes （蚊子） in the town and told him that he'd better not go there．Mark Twain waved his hand and said，"It doesn't matter．The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine．I don't think they will come to visit me．"
After he arrived at the town，Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station．He went into his room，but when he was just about to have a rest，quite a few mosquitoes flew about him．The waiters felt very sorry about that．"I'm very sorry，Mr．Mark Twain．There are too many mosquitoes in our town．"One of them said to him．
Mark Twain，however，made a joke，saying to the waiter，"The mosquitoes are very clever．They know my room number．They didn't come into the wrong room．"What he said made all the people present laugh heartily．
But that night Mark Twain slept well．Do you know why？That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night．

6．Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970，when the average age of independent living was 21？Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures （花销）not（36）B higher academic achievement levels？Why is the mental health of today's kids so poor when （37）C with that of children in the 1960s and before？Why do today's（38）Abecome defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school？
The answer in two words：parental （39）C．Those two words best summarize the（40）A between"old"child raising and new，post-1960s parenting．Then，the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be （41）C involved with their kids．They were available （42）A crisis，but they stood a （an） （43）B distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial-and-error process．It was the child's （44）C，back then，to keep his or her parents from getting involved．That was （45）B children learned to be responsible and determined．

University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parent participation in children's academics．Their conclusions （49）A what I've been saying since the 1980s：parental help with homework （50）B a child's academic achievement and is not reflected on standardized tests．
Parents who manage a child's social life interfere with the （51）D of good social skills．Parents who manage a child's after-school activities grow kids who don't know how to （52）C their own free time．Parents who get involved in their kids，（53）B with peers grow kids who don't know how to avoid much less trouble．
