Major Walter Wingfield thought that something l
16、ike court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logic

By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game.

If you want to know why, just try going without sleep fo
22、r a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and bui
23、ld up supplies of energy for the next period of activity. One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesnt mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the bo
24、dy functions are slowed down. For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp (柔软的) and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep doe
25、s for us what the most quiet rest can not do. Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(反射动作) still work. For instance, if someone tickles (使觉得痒) your foot, you
26、 will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.（分数：8.00）(1).If you dont have as much sleep as your body needs, you will _.（分数：2.00）A.work properlyB.think clearlyC.keep your attention on your workD.easily get angry(2).The cells of your

28、ng what is happening around(4).When you are sleeping, _.（分数：2.00）A.all of you reflexes stop workingB.most of your reflexes stop workingC.many of your reflexes still workD.all of your reflexes still workThe first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时), in 1531. There were no
29、 stock exchanges in England until the 1700s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker (agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange. In New
30、 York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, the second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City. A stock exchang
31、e is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds (债券) of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on
32、each transaction they make. The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company. If the business is doing well, the
33、 stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit.
