In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called ‘Lexico’. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from ‘Lexico’ to ‘Alph’ and then to ‘Criss Cross’. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn"t have any real commercial success.
In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name —‘Scrabble’.
At first, it didn"t sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year.
Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy"s department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play ‘Scrabble’ while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy"s should stock(储备)the game and make an effort to call the public"s attention to it.
As a result, ‘scrabble’ became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.
小题1:The text is mainly about       .
A.‘Lexico’B.three menC.a word gameD.Alfred Butts
小题2:Alfred Butts invented the game ‘Lexico’        .
A.to make himself famous
B.to make spelling simpler
C.when he was out of work and looking for a job
D.when he was playing word games to pass the time
小题3: Who made ‘Scrabble’ popular?
A.Alfred Butts.B.Jack Strauss.
C.Alfred Butts and Jim Brunot.D.Jack Strauss and Jim Brunot.
小题4:When did Alfred Butts first put his game on the market?
A.In 1939. B.In 1948.
C.Before 1939. D.Between 1939 and 1948.

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children"s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone."
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."
小题1:Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?
A.He needs to go to the doctor every day.

D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
小题2: Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.
A.diabetics to communicateB.volunteers to find jobs

小题3:According to the text, Kody ______.
A.feel lonely because of his illnessB.benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C.helps create the online kid’s forumsD.writes children’s stories online
小题4:What can we learn about Fight It?
A.It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B.It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C.It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D.It owns a well-known medical website.
小题5:The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.
A.works full-time in a diabetes charityB.employs 22 people for his website
C.helps diabetics in his own wayD.ties to find a cure for diabetes
