American football started during a game between two colleges. The teams had got together to play what they

24、 called “football“, but each team played by different roles. One team played what we now call soccer. The other played what we now call rugby (橄榄球) .Both games had been invented a thousand years before. In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball

25、 into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick the ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down fences. In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change. Different rules developed

26、 in different places.When the two colleges met to play football, each followed its own rules. They mixed the games together and invented a new game.

30、rs, doctors have been studying the way the brain works. We all know that the brain has two sides, the left and the right. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling), and is the creative and imaginative side. The left side of the brain controls our logical thi

31、nking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order. We call the left side the “educated“ side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side of the brain more than the right side.Scientists believe that our brain will work much more efficien

32、tly if both the right side and the left side are developed equally. In many schools today, teachers try to educate the children in such a way that both sides of the brain are used. This can be done with logical subjects including mathematics and science as well as with creative subjects such as art

33、and literature. The result achieved by students who are educated in this way is usually better than the result of students who are educated in a more traditional way. Traditional teaching tends to exercise the left side of the brain without paying very much attention to the development of the right

34、side.Great thinkers such as Bertand Russell the philosopher, and Albert Einstein, the scientist, only in their work, but also in creative and imaginative activities. It was because of their many different interests in life that they were able to achieve the full development of both sides of their br

38、in was achievedC.their bodies stopped workingD.they were very oldBPassage Four/BThere is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else. Some people try to get it by making money. They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms, and cars, they will have the one

39、 thing that everyone wants.Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing. They study all their lives in search of it. Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing. They keep telling themselves: when I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for t

40、his thing.What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it that all of us keep working and striving for each day? It is happiness.Happiness is a strange thing. It does not mean the same to all men. What will make one man happy may not make another man happy. Some men say that happi

41、ness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone. What do you mean when you say “That makes me happy“?Read what different people have said about happiness. Perhaps you will learn something that will bring you peace of mind, comfort, money

48、gquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says, “The technology (for zero emissions) isnt here yet; it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience .“Automakers blame it on the batteries. Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles. However, some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge. Batteries are expensive. Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says, “The automakers have not built a vehicle unless requi
