7.The word"sport"first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football,basketball,tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for the sport they play.These people are called professional sportsmen.They may be sportsmen for only a few years,but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.For example,a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000dollars a year.The stars earn a lot more.International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000dollars a year.Of course,only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports.An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say"Buy our things".It says"Buy the same shirt and shoes as …".Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this.Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
41.The word"sport"now usually meansA.
A.organized games
B.hunting wild animals and birds
C.what people do in their spare time
D.something people are paid to do

C.500,000dollars
D.30,000dollars

C.professional sportsmen are paid for what they do

15.MOOC (massive open online courses)is a quite new way for people to learn the subject that they are interest in.But you may find yourself unable to use it if the browser of your computer is not the right one,such as Internet Explorer 8 or Windows XP,because support for Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP has ended.Then you may ask why.Well,IE 8 is 12 years old-that's pretty old for an operating system.
In the past 12 years you've probably gotten a new phone,maybe a new TV,and possibly even a new car.Maybe it's time for a new PC too,so you can make sure you have more memory and storage,faster processing speeds,and a higher-quality display (some even come with touch).And they're less expensive than you might think.
We support our older operating systems much longer than most other businesses in this industry,but we can't keep supporting old operating systems and still move forward creating new and better products.We've been supporting Windows XP for the past 12 years-that's longer than we've supported any other operating system in our history and already two years longer than the standard ten years of support we normally provide.It's time for us to look ahead so we can create better products and services for you and all our customers.
We encourage you to learn more here about what end of support means,but in the end you have two options:
Option 1:Keep using Windows XP-unprotected
Option 2:Start using Windows 8.1
If you don't like the idea of your data and personal information being hacked,consider moving to Windows 8.1.
