阅读理解。     We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new"
or "surprising". Here"s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked

sentence, "It"s so cool. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

     Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the
other"s king, he says, in English,"check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere,
he says "check mate (将死)". These words come from Persian (波斯人). It means "the king is dead".
That is when the game is over, and one player has won.

piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought,
but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don"t have to be winner in order to enjoy it. It is not always
played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a
match played by radio. Some people are able to play many people at the same time. One man played 400
games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the
