Last week,millions of Chinese viewers turned into CCTV 5 to watch two teams of men in colorful clothing chase a ball around a field. But the New England Patriots(爱国者队)and Caro?lina Panthers(黑豹队)were not playing soccer. They were competing for American football's greatest prize,the Super Bowl.

The first recorded game of American university was played more than 100 years ago,using a mixture of soccer and rugby(英式橄揽球)rules. The Super Bowl itself was first contested in 1967 ，but 2004 was the first time the game reached Chinese TV screens.

American football is very popular because it exhibits a number of athletic skills，such as running, jumping, catching,throwing and kicking. There is also hitting and tackling, which appears violent(激烈的)sometimes!

One of the most famous players is New England star Tom Brady，who was named the Most Valuable Player as his team won the Super Bowl last week. Brady plays in the quarterback position, and is the player re?sponsible for throwing the ball to his teammates. Now the Super Bowl has arrived in China, maybe the game will become just as popular as basketball or soccer！

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net,use email and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop,and it affects their lives.

Ten years ago，no one thought that using computers could become a compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has af?fected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework, so this ad?diction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.

They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.

Because of the change in their behavior，they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confi?dent with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This ad?dictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.

On the surface, the Hudson River is looking good. The sun on a spring morning shines on the water, off bridges and boats. The blue crabs(蟹)are big,and the striped bass(条紋^) are bigger. On the surface, all these would probably make you think the Hudson was about as healthy as it has been since Indian times.

Sadly，it isn't. A study by the environmental group River-keeper examined an important in?dicator of life of any river,fish,and found discouraging news. Ten of 13 species it examined are reducing, and one―the great and delicious shad(西鲱）一is at a historic low.

The report blames the usual suspects and a few new ones. The river is getting warmer,and the heat helps starve the water of oxygen. Power plants kill untold millions of fish when they suck up river water to cool their machinery. Invasive species, dirty water and fertilizer runoff and over-fishing in the ocean，where species like shad spend much of their lives，all take their toll.

Not all fish are struggling. Striped bass are on the increase, as are bluefish and spot-tail shiners. But with other species moving slowly downwards, signs point to a sicker, less stable Hudson ecosystem than many had imagined.

River-keeper's report shows how little we understand the biology of one of the country's most historic and important estuaries (河口，江口). It is a reminder that even the hardest-fought conservation(对自然环境的保护)victories may look like the easy ones,and that self-satisfaction can be the death of environmental progress.

A. arouse our interest in the topic of the passage

B. get us to know the Hudson River is still pretty healthy

C. sing high praise for the contribution of the local people

( ) 6. What's the auther's attitude towards the present situation of the Hudson River?

A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic.

C. Positive. D. Desperate.

( ) 7. Which of the following fish seems NOT to enjoy the life in the Hudson River?

A. Bluefish. B. Shad.

C. Striped bass. D. Spot-tail shiners.
( ) 8. The word "starve" in the third paragraph probably means

A. get hungry B. fight against

C. take in D. get out

( ) 6. In order to finish the task so as to spare a week for a rest，the workers worked

The Lord of the Rings, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年)，was made up of three parts ―The Fellowship of the Ring,Two Towers，and The Return of the King. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over25different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt,Tolkien and his cousins were fond of playing languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien，s becoming skilled in Welsh，Greek，Gothic，Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford,Tolkien served in World War L In 1917, while recovering from trench fever,he began composing the mythology(神话)for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford，Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings，which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien，s imaginative work The Hobbit, Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them，Bilbo Baggins， looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏懦）.On the way，he meets the twisted，pitiful creature Gollum，from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien's students persuaded her employer,publisher Allen & Unwin,to look at the draft(草稿）.The chairman of the firm,Stanley Unwin,thought that the best judge for a children' s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting,and The Hobbit was published in 1937.
