Games were held once every four years to honor the Greek god Zeus. Sportsmen from many nations
took part in the games. The Greek Olympics did not have as many sports programmes as the modern
Olympic Games. There were only a short race—a race of about three miles and some other matches
such as jumping, boxing, etc.
During the games all wars stopped. Soldiers were allowed to pass safely through enemy lines on
their way to the games. The last Greek Olympics were held in 388 A.D.. Then the Roman rulers
ordered the games be stopped.

the ancient Greek Olympics. He believed that the Olympic Games would bring about healthy

been growing steadily (稳健地) with more and more nations and athletes taking part. They have
much more programmes than the Greek Olympics. Athletes of many nations compete in various kinds
of sports.

to be busy, moving around their homes, or hives. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of
activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for
something if you went there right away.
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think
it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was the
bee"s knees. Now, we admit that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not
even know if bees have knees!
If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say
she has a bee in her bonnet. If someone asks you a personal question, you might say "that is none of
your beeswax". This means none of your business.
Speaking of personal questions, there is an expression people sometimes use when their children
ask, "where do babies come from?" Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about
the birds and the bees.
Hornets are beelike insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you
are mad as a hornet.
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That
means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also
not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still.
B. a hornet
C. a butterfly
D. a bee
B. That is none of your beeswax.
C. It"s the bee"s knees.
D. My house is a beehive of activity.

is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with
others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities
of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities
of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries
but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,
mechanics, and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in
all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China,
Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations
depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every
civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to
technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the
cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a
baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness
(独创性). Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations
of available materials.
B. they like challenging activities
C. most boys would like to follow their fathers" professions
D. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers
B. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys
C. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys
D. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities
B. The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.
C. The craftsmanship in toymaking has remained essentially unchanged.
D. Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.
B. are not characterized by technological progress
C. follow a direct line of ascent
D. also appeal greatly to adults
B. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
C. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time
D. in toymaking there is a continuity in the use of
friendship through laughter. The first "World Laughter Day" gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are
over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.
"HAPPYDEMIC" was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th
January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people
gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records."World Laughter
Day" is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on
that day to laugh together.
Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much
unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability
to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound overambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe
it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense
of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten
depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical
exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it"s
good for you.

C. to reduce stress and lighten depression
D. to lower blood pressure
B. on the first Sunday of May

D. on 9th January, 2000
B. negative
C. uninterested
D. objective
B. the worldwide laughter movement
C. a universal language
D. laughter

The march to Italy was began.The soldiers were even more enthusiastic than Caesar (恺撒) himself.
They climbed mountains, waded rivers, endured tiredness, and faced all kinds of danger for the sake of
their great leader.
At last they came to a little river called the Rubicon (卢比孔河). It was the boundary line of Caesar"s
Province of Gaul; on the other side of it was Italy.Caesar paused a moment on the bank.He knew that to
cross it would be to declare war against Pompey and the Roman Senate; it would involve all Rome in a
fearful battle, the end of which no man could foresee.
But he did not hesitate long.He gave the word, and rode boldly across the shallow stream.
"We have crossed the Rubicon, " he cried as he reached the farther shore."There is now no turning
back." Soon the news was carried to Rome "Caesar has crossed the Rubicon" and there was great fear
among those who had planned to destroy him.Pompey"s soldiers deserted him and hurried to join
themselves to Caesar"s army.The Rome senators and their friends made ready to escape from the city.
"Caesar has crossed the Rubicon!" was shouted along the roads and byways leading to Rome; and
the country people turned out to meet and hail with joy the conquering hero.
The word was carried a second time to the city "Caesar has crossed the Rubicon" and the wild fight
began.Senators and public officers left everything behind and hurried away to seek safety with Pompey.
On foot, on horseback, in litters, in carriages, they fled for their lives-all because Caesar had crossed the
Rubicon.Pompey was unable to protect them.He hurried to the seacoast, and, with all who were able to
accompany him, sailed away to Greece.
