16、all did not exist. American football started during a game between two colleges. The teams had got together to play what they 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 invent
17、ed 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 the ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down f
18、ences. In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change.

22、he memory improves with use. 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, the left and the right. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling), and
23、 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 the “educated“ side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side of the bra
24、in 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 try to educate the children in such a way that both sides of the brain are used. This can be done with logical
25、 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 the result of students who are educated in a more traditional way. Traditional teaching tends to exercise the
26、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, only in their work, but also in creative and imaginative activities. It was because of their many different inter
27、ests 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.

30、ntly 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 than anything else. Some people try to get it by making money. They think that when they have enough money to buy such t
31、hings 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 lives in search of it. Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing. They keep telling themselves:
32、 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 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
33、 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 mean when you say “That makes me happy“?Read what different people have said about happiness. Perhaps you will learn som
34、ething 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“ means_.(A)happiness(B) the preceding sentence(C) money(D)such things as house, farms and cars 34 Other people believe that if

39、ice of gasoline and with the problems with clean air, its important we get electric vehicles out on the road.“On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars.

40、of its time.Gloria Bergquist 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.

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 required to do so, so its very important for the s
