But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked
12、Ann for books on cancer(癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order.

Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 18
19、73, 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 logical term “ lawn tennis“.By 1874 the game was being played by British so
20、ldiers 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. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Ba
21、seball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament(锦标赛)was heldat Nahant near Boston.25 Mary Outerbridge is important in th

You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work pr
25、operly. 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 build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep i
26、s that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn t mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats m
27、ore 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 does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, w
28、hich 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 will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowin
29、g it.29 If you dont have as much sleep as your body needs, you will_.（A）work properly（B） think clearly（C） keep your attention on your work（D）easily get angry30 The cells of your body develop supplies of energy_.（A）when you are asleep（B） when you recover from your work of the day（C） in the next perio
30、d of activity（D）when you are quiet31 In the clause “.that we are unconscious in sleep“(Para.3),the word “unconscious“ means_.（A）untiring（B） unmoved（C） quiet（D）not knowing what is happening around32 When you are sleeping,_.（A）all of you reflexes stop working（B） most of your reflexes stop working（C） m
31、any of your reflexes still work（D）all of your reflexes still work32 The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时), in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700 s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents)to transact his
32、 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 York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American S
33、tock 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 exchange 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 s
34、tock 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 each transaction they make.The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent
35、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 stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.33 In the 1600 s, if a man wanted to buy or
