26、urpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants. “ Because competitive cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts (体操运动员) , cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻跟头). They perfor

27、m standing back flips (蹦跳) , round flip flops, and full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers“ are thrown in the air, held by “bases“ in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.Just as basketball and football have

28、guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best.

29、for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a stunt(绝技) , the sharper and more in-sync(同步的) , the higher score they can get.

This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule. for no two

34、are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old child wants to read (or even a two-year-old child for that matter) , the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she

35、 might later be “bored“ when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher s affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be

36、given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic (having difficulty in reading).Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) , there is no harm in pr

37、eparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parent to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attr

38、action should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.51 This passage is mainly about _.（A）what qualities people teaching children reading should have（B） different age groupings o

39、f children to be caught reading（C） when and how children should be taught reading（D）various problems of children who start learning to read52 In the writer s opinion, children start learning to read_.（A）early and fast（B） at different times（C） by a certain rule（D）from word games53 A three-year-old ch

42、a sense of humor55 The legal limit for driving after drinking is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood in the U.S. when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sor

43、t of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you re below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affecte

44、d by alcohol.It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit.

47、e biggest cause of death among young people. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesn t just affect you. If you are involved in

48、 an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.56 The amount of alcohol one can drink before reaching the legal limit_.（A）is 80 milligrams of pure alcohol（B） is about three standard drinks（C） is different for different people（D）is not related to one s body weight57 When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving?（A）When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all.（B） When you have had at least three drinks before driving.（C） Only when tests show that you have 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millil
