3 . The hula hoop(呼啦圈) can date back to around 1000 BC. Originally, the hula hoop was made of dried grapevines(葡萄藤).     1     Although first played for this simple game, the hula hoop has been enjoyed by adults and children for centuries. Various nations worldwide independently created and used it for entertainment purposes throughout history.

    2     Sometimes these hoops were also used for military and battle practice. Between 800 and 1500 AD, Native Americans used the hoops as moving targets in order to practice throwing spears and other weapons. Even the British army had a game named “kill the hoop”. However, this practice is not common today.

The more modern version of the hula hoop, which is spun around the waist, was first invented in the 1950s. A plastic hoop created by California’s Wham-O toy company had sold nearly 100 million hula hoops by 1960.     3    

Throughout the United States, the hula hoop craze was large and diverse. But by 1980 the use of hula hoops had begun rapidly fading.     4     In both of the countries, circuses and gymnasts took up hula hoping as part of their performances.

Eventually, the hula hoop was introduced into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999, showing its important place within the entertainment and children’s toy industries.     5     However, methodical and structural advances have allowed for the introduction of hula hoops into various modern entertainment venues for adults as well.

A．It was lighter than the bamboo hoops.

B．This was not the case, however, in China or Russia.

C．It was just thrown and rolled down hills in children’s games.

D．As a combined exercise, it is extremely beneficial to the body.

E．Not all hula hoop games were played for fun and entertainment.

F．This created what was known as the “hula hoop craze” during the 1950s.

G．Today, hula hoping is still common among children as it was during the ancient time.

5 . Many ski resorts are built and opened in Beijing.Skiing has become a popular sport and enjoyed rapid growth in the past ten years.A lot of people have been very eager to add bright-coloured ski suits to their winter collections And many choose to start the Chinese New Year by gathering in ski resorts.They do not have to worry about Beijing’s dry weather which seldom produces snow.As long as it is cold enough,snow-making machines will manage to cover the hills in the north of the capital.

This craze(一时的狂热)for skiing is partly due to the fact that there has been an increasing number of private cars.Leisure industry has taken off in Beijing's suburbs,which were unreachable to ordinary people at first.One manager of a ski resort said that most visitors drove their own cars to his resort,while the others took buses rented by schools,businesses or government offices.

The craze seems to make huge profits for resort owners.But,according to the manager,making money is yet the biggest challenge,since starting and running ski resorts require a large amount of money.Hiring land from the local government,preparing the hills for skiing,buying enough snow-making machines,renting ski equipment and paying for water and electronic bills all cost a lot.

The ski resort where the manager works costs nearly four million dollars to get everything read.What makes things worse is that too many people want a share in the leisure industry.People rush into the business and a price war breaks out,which in turn makes it more difficult for resort owners to balance.But this is good news for consumers.Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world.It also helps skiing continue its growth since the low price is likely to attract more newcomers.

7 . In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.

His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.

This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.

Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.

1. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?

A．His friends' invitation.	B．His interest in the country.
C．His love for teaching.	D．His desire to regain health.

2. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Developing a serious mental disease.

B．Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.

C．Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.

D．Writing an article about the Aral Sea.

3. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan?

A．Romantic.

B．Eventful.

C．Pleasant.

D．Dangerous.

4. What is the purpose of this text?

A．To introduce a book.	B．To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C．To remember a writer.	D．To recommend a travel destination.

My dad and I love to sing together. Once when I am little, my dad shared one of our song online for my cousins to see. To my great joy, more than 29 million people have been watched that first video. And we keep make videos. It's fun to sing in front people, and I love singing with my dad. It makes me feel calmly, and I like the way we sing together.
