The original business plan for what was to become Federal Express was given a failing grade on Fred Smith’s college exam.And,in the early days,their employees would cash their pay checks at branch stores rather than banks.This meant it would take longer for the money to clear,therefore giving Fed Ex more time to cover their payroll.

Any sportsperson considers it tough to know when to retire. Do you retire when you are at your physical “peak” or do you wait until your body or your coach tells you that it’s time to go? But what’s even harder is finding the answer to the question “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?
Retirement for people in general is painful. “There’s a high risk of depression and people often find adjusting to a new way of life difficult,” says Ian Cockerill, a sports psychologist. “For sportspeople, there’s an extra pain — the loss of status, the loss of recognition, and the loss of attraction. That’s the hardest part.” Eddie Acaro, the US jockey says, “When a a jockey (职业赛马骑师) retires, he becomes just another little man.”
Some sportspeople go on playing too long. Perhaps they just can’t stand life without the “high” of playing professional sport. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time, retired three tines. He retired once from the Chicago Bulls, made a successful comeback with the bulls, and then retired again. His second comeback with an inferior team ended in failure and he retired forever at the age of 38. Jordan said, “There will never be anything I do that will fulfill me as much as competing did.”
For some people the pain of saying goodbye never leaves them. Jimmy Greaves, an ex-England international footballer, said, “I think that a lot of players would prefer to be shot once their career is over.” Many of them spend their retirement in a continual battle against depression, alcohol, or drugs.
But for the lucky few, retirement can mean a successful new career. Franz Beckenbauer is a classic example of a footballer who won everything with his club. After retiring he became a successful coach of his club and finally the president of the club. John McEnroe, the infamous (臭名昭著的) “bad boy” of tennis, is now a highly respected and highly paid TV commentator (评论员). But sadly, for most sportspeople, these cases are the exceptions.

53. What does the underlined word “comeback” in Paragraph 3 mean?

54. From the passage, we know that after retirement, many sportspeople _____.

C. would love to coach other players
D. start a career related to sport

or skipping rope for hours, you weren't thinking fitness, you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of
high-tech home equipment and underused gym member-ships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been
forgotten. Rediscove ring' it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.
Although considered as an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never gained widespread
acceptance because of two funda mental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an ex-cellent
form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words,
they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial
physical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive not as something fun or
enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing
the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every
10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other
easy-to- learn free-style rope-jumping.
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise
allowing both brain hemi- spheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short, jumping rope can be a life-long
activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.
B. people now have more advanced equipment
C. racing around the playground was preferred
D. people now like to have exercise in a gym
B. it is neither easy nor enjoyable
C. it is considered boring and repetitive
D. it requires little equipment, time and space
B. the usual way should not be used
C. the easiest way is always the best
D. there are many ways to follow
B. is suitable for students only
C. helps both brain hemispheres work together
D. can be dangerous for old people

Television, the most popular and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.
The world “television”, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (vision: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulse, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.
Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication.
The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad – based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is no broadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBD, who have been the major purveyors（供应商）of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November to February.
Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
