9、nge-looking man? Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the U.S. government? But why do you call the U.S. government Uncle Sam?During the War of 1812, the U.S. government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson, Samuel was a friendly and f
10、air man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large U,S. for United States.

The teams had got together to play what they called “football“, but each team played by different rules. One team
16、 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 into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick th
17、e 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 in different places.When the two colleges met to play football, each
18、 followed its own rules. They mixed the games together and invented a new game.

Unlike the body, the memory can improve with age.For many years, doctors have been studying the way the brain works. We all know that the brain has two sides, th
22、e left and the fight. 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 thinking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order. We call the left side th
23、e “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 efficiently if both the right side and the left side are developed equally. In many schools today, teachers
24、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 and literature. The result achieved by students who are educated in this way is usually better than
25、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 side.Great thinkers such as Bertand Russell the philosopher, and Albert Einstein, the scientist, onl
26、y 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 brain.As long as Einstein and Russell lived, their brains functioned efficiently. It was their bodies,
27、 finally, which could not go on any longer.29 The left side of the brain controls _ .（A）the senses（B） the fight side（C） logical thinking（D）the action 30 The right side of the brian _ .（A）processes and puts into order the information which comes in _ .（B） is usually better developed than the left sid

29、on it（D）the fight side is fully developed 32 Einstein and Russell died when _ .（A）their brains could not function efficiently any more（B） the full development of both sides of their brain was achieved（C） their bodies stopped working（D）they were very old 32 There is one thing that everyone wants more
30、 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 thing that everyone wants.Other people believe that if they know enough they will find this thing. They study all their li
31、ves 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 this thing.What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it that all of us keep working and striving for e
32、ach 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 happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone. What do you
33、 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 or it may bring you what you search for happiness.33 “Some people try to get it by making money.“ The underlined “it, mean

38、two years ago. He leased an electric car.

39、rs. By 2003, ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions.

40、o make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience“.Automakers blame it on the batteries. Power runs out on most cars aRer 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
41、the Clean Air Coalition says, “The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so, so its very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiring automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off“.37 When did Michael Schwabe say goo
