                Are we too clean?

    In some parts of the world,it seems that 21 (keep) things too clean may cause a health problem. Parents often think that children are always getting dirty. But the 22 (true) is that in countries like the UK,parents clean their homes so carefully 23 children hardly ever come into contact with dirt,and therefore germs (细菌). The result is that one person in ten today 24(suffer) from some kind of allergy (过敏反应) 一three times more than just ten years ago.

    Parents who think back to how they used to play as a child will see how much things 25 (change) . Children today spend a lot of time in their rooms. Twenty years ago,our parents thought it was better for kids 26 (play) outside,so we would spend 27 (much) time in the park than at home. We always fell over, 28 we just brushed 29 (our) clean and then kept on playing.

    Now research seems to suggest that this is 30 good thing. Early contact with germs helps to protect our bodies against allergies later in life.

          C  ★★★★★

    Farmers digging a field near Chelsea,Michigan,were surprised to uncover a nearly complete mammoth skeleton The mammoth once lived there about 12 ,000 years ago. The Ice Age bones raise a question about whether people or a changing climate killed the beasts.

    Researcher Dan Fisher is from the University of Michigan. He believes that prehistoric people killed the newly found mammoth,and put what they didn't immediately eat in a freezing lake. Other scientists say they are not certain what killed the creature until the bones are examined for cut marks and other evidence.

    There is little evidence that humans hunted mammoths,says Donald Grayson of the University of Washington. A paper notes that of 76 Ice Age mammal kill sites,only 12 in the whole of North America suggest human hunting. That suggests that over-hunting was not the primary cause of the extinction of the mammoth.

    Climate might have been key to the disaster. As humans were moving onto the continent,the global climate was rapidly changing,moving from cold and dry to warm and wet.

    This changing climate rapidly swept out the cool,dry grasslands that mammoths preferred. Combined with other (生态的) changes,such as the arrival of bison (野牛) from Europe and Asia and forests springing up here grasslands once spread,mammoths were driven out of their former living places. The very last of the mammoths on Wrangel Island off northern Siberia died out about 4 ,000 years ago.

    Extinction is rarely the result of a single cause. Perhaps,as the Chelsea mammoth slowly tells its secrets,it will add a little more to the continuing discussion over life and death during the Ice Age.

9. What do we know about the newly found mammoth skeleton?

    ?. It was found in a freezing lake.

   B. It was discovered by a scientist,

    C. There were cuts on the skeleton.

   D. Most of the skeleton were discovered.

10. The paper mentioned in Paragraph 3 proves that

   A. mammoths were rare in North America

   B. there were 76 mammal kill sites in North America

    C. mammoths were overhunted by prehistorical humans

   D. overhunting was not the leading cause of mammoths’ extinction 

11. Because of the changing climate during the Ice Age, .

   A. mammoths could get more food

   B. mammoths were suffering from habitat loss 

    C. mammoths had to move to cool and dry places   

    D. forests mammoths liked were replaced by grasslands

12. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. What killed these giants

   B. Mammoths and overhunting

    C. The climate change in the Ice Age   

    D. The reason for extinction uncovered 

   Here's some good news for the grim: A new study shows that unhappiness itself has no direct effect on whether people will die before their time. Women in poor health are more likely to be unhappy, ：but their unhappiness does not increase their overall ?总体的) risk of e?rly de?th.

   "Earlier research on happiness and health coiifiises cause and effect,” said study co-author Professor Richard Peto. Illness makes you unhappy and causes stress. Illness is the thing causing unhappiness,not unhappiness causing illness. Researchers tracked the health records of 1.3 million women between 1996 and 2001. About one out of SIX in the group said they were generally unhappy. The death rate among the unhappy was the same as that among the generally happy.

   In the new study,women who were already in poor health tended to say that they were unhappy,stressed,not in control and not relaxed. aIf you want to be happy,then the main thing you need to do is remain healthy,^ Peto said. aPeople say that if you but your health depend^ on what you do in your daily life. Going around with a positive attitude but still sm (^mg,that does no good to your health. We need to concentrate on the few important practicial causes of early death.".

   However,this study does not completely shut the door on the possible health effects of unhappiness,because the researchers only looked at how unhappiness affected a person's risk of dying.“Health is a broader (概念) ,” said researcher Ban-eto. Barreto also noted that the sample only included women who,on average,were in late middle age.Therefore,in my opinion,the debate is not yet closed,Ba?eto said. ^Further research is still needed in the ??eld of unhappiness and medical outcomes."

   A. unhappy   B. unhealthy

10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 ?

   B. The unhappy have a higher death rate. .

    C. Illness doesn't  necessarily cause death.

   D. Unhappiness doesn’ t  directly lead to illness.

11. Which of the following can best sum up Peto’ s  idea on health?

   A. Rome is not built in a day.

   B. Time and tide wait for no man. 

    C. Actions speak louder than words.

   D. Where there is a will,there is a way.

12. What does Barreto think of the findings?

   A. They are meaningless.

   B. They need improving.

    C. They are not clear enough.

   D. They mislead some people.

   When the game of fistball (浮士 德球) was invented is not known. What is certain,however,is that its roots lie in southern Europe,perhaps in Italy. The earliest report of the game was written by Roman ：Emperor Gordian III in the year 240. Rules for an Italian fistball were recorded by Antonius Scaiono in 1555.

   In the 16th century the game started to be played. However,it was seen less as a game of competitive nature and more as a game for.(贵族成员) to play for fun. In 1786,Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mentioned flstball games in his diary Italian Journey.

   During this time the sport spread to the surrounding,mainly German-speaking,neighboring countries and German emigrants (R) also spread the sport to other continents,particularly in South America and West Africa. Fistball was first introduced to the United States in 1911 by high school teacher Christopher Carlton who had experienced it first-hand on a Slimmer vacation to Italy.

   At the 1913 German Gymnastics Festival in Leipzig,the first Gennan men' s championship was held. In 1921,the first women* s  fistball championship was held. Fistball,while still a game affiliated to the Gymnastics Association,began to grow independently. In 1927,almost 12,000 teams played organized fistball in Germany.

   In order to encourage the development of fistball,the International Fistball Association (IFA) was founded m 1960. The first IFA Men* s World Championship was held in Linz,Austria in 1968 with West Germany winning the gold. The first IFA Women,s World Championship was held in Buenos Aires,Argentina in 1994 with Germany winning the gold.
