24、 in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States.

25、ccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students.

26、 And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this years world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.Soccer has been played in the United States for a little

27、 more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer Came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet wer

28、e played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer.Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today

29、, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs.

33、.Experts believed that the United States would win.BText 2/BThe cohesiveness(内聚力)of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hourswhat we here call “shift work“m

34、akes the lives of families difficult.Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the indi

35、vidual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do “whatever it takes“ to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their ho

36、mes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers“ whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.The womens definitions of a “good husband“ are typified by the following

37、 wifes response:I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking, when its time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting

38、me to do everything.To husbands, a good wife is someone who is:Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work, I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I dont want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I dont kn

39、ow if this makes much sense.These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.（分数：10.00）(1).Despite_,shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.（分数：2.00）A.traditional beliefs about marriageB.lack of control over timeC.a very clear division of rolesD.the demands

40、of work(2).From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with_.（分数：2.00）A.their workB.their childrenC.their husbands inability to protect the family and provide companionshipD.leisure activities(3).What is implied by the author?（分数：2.00）A.Shift work had a direct ef

41、fect on the attitudes and behavior of family members.B.Shift workers could live a normal life.C.Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage.D.Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families.(4).In order to continue the marriages of the shift worker

43、g Family LifeB.Managing Time and ActivitiesC.The Meaning of MarriageD.Living a Normal LifeBText 3/BDo you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During th

44、e hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has disco

45、vered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrel ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cyc

46、les mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitu

47、ally staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but yon have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get

48、up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.（分数：10.00）(1).If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_.（分数：2.00）A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening(2).Which of the followin
