But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less da
16、ngerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines. Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peacef
17、ul games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun.

Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.They point out that at a circus, for example, we may s
21、ee elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different
22、 animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near
23、. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touche
24、s a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.Apes have been used in America in helping to make

29、er peoples birthdays; and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Hill is such a man.Mr. Hill works in a bank, and lives alone. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Jack. Mr. Hill does not see his sister, or her family, from one y
30、ear to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Jacks seventeen birthdays.Last week Mr. Hill had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way o
31、f other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Just then, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.“What have I done wrong?“ Mr. Hill asked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the ba

That desc
35、ribes the way many of us live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it less. And when that doesnt work, we get the problem. In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.The truth is simple; so simpl
36、e it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more. Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, “The Harried Leisure Class,“ described the uselessness of pursuing
37、more. His research focused on what people did with their leisure time. He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time. But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them. Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the
38、midst of tremendous variety. That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year.Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this. The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago. It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it m
39、ore.If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me. How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on?The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does no
40、t depend on things. The more I give up, the more I seem to gain. But words will never convince you. You must try it for yourself.（分数：12.00）(1).Arthur Lindman wrote _.A. a popular novel B. a research paperC. Ecclesiastes D. The Harried Leisure Class（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Lindman wrote his book _.A. ten

Simpl
42、ify Your Life B. Enjoy Your LifeC. Smoking Less D. Satisfaction（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)First, the spotted owl was threatened by logging in the Pacific Northwest. Now its in danger from a new enemy, the barred owl. Barred owls have been moving to the Northwest from the eastern
43、part of the United States. Stan Sovern has studied spotted owls. Now when he calls for spotted owls, barred owls are starting to appear. Sovern threw a mouse on the ground, and a barred owl grabbed it.Scientists have learned that spotted owls start to vanish when barred owls come. Some barred and sp
44、otted owls have mated and produced hybrid babies. One spotted owl was killed by a barred owl.Professor Ned K. Brown of the University of California-Berkeley says, “In some areas of Washington, the barred owls moved into very dense, deep woods. The same kind of woods that are opened up, or destroyed
45、by logging, that adversely influences the spotted owls.“Ten years have passed since the federal government began protecting the spotted owl. Loggers were forced to limit logging on seven million acres of government land. No one is sure how the arrival of the barred owls will impact laws that protect
46、 spotted laws. The barred owls like to live in the deep forests where loggers like to cut down trees. The barred owls will likely keep migrating to the Northwest.（分数：12.00）(1).Scientists learned about the barred owl migration by _.A. decoding spotted owl sounds B. feeding mice to the owlsC. monitori
