High school is very important in one’s lifetime Nowadays, the movies about the high school time are so popular, and the stories are overstated. My feelings about high school life are so different of the movies. In the past two years, study occupied most of my time. I fought for the future with my classmates. We studied hardly and shared our opinion about the difficult points together. When I made a great progress, I was so happy, but when I fell behind, I would not give up. I grew up and became patience. I was not a little girl anymore. In the spare time, I would go to play basketball with my friends, that became the most excited thing at that time. Though the high school life was simple, I gained a lot. I would never forget the classmates who worked with them together.

Why do so Many People Like Golf?
Today’s golf enthusiasts like golf for many reasons. 1. Trees and lakes provide aesthetic pleasure and a natural environment for animals, including birds, squirrels, fish, and in some states like Florida, even alligators. In an era of crowded cities and suburbs, the open-air, breezy golf course is a tonic (补药).
In addition to the pleasing serenity of a golf course, people also like golf because of the exercise. 2. Short courses can be easily walked, while many choose an electric golf cart on long courses. Even so, a golfer must walk from cart to ball for each shot, which amounts to a good deal of exercise. The swing also works several upper body muscles.
People also like golf because of the challenge. 3. Getting the swing just right makes all the difference in sending the ball sailing from the tee. Putting on the green requires an opposite skill set that includes a sharp eye, choosing the right line, and applying just the right amount of strength.
4. Often called “the gentleman’s sport,” women like golf too because it is a non-contact sport that nearly anyone can enjoy with a little practice. Whether competing for titles in local or international tournaments, or playing for pleasure on a lazy afternoon, golf is a sport with much to offer all ages and both genders. 5.
A. Try it and you just might find you like golf too.
B. Finally, people like golf because of the pleasure.
C. Finally, many like golf because it is a social game.
D. While it may seem like an easy game, it is highly technical.
E. It seems like more people like golf today than ever before.
F. Rolling green courses are landscaped not only for technical challenge but for beauty.
G. Golf courses are 18 holes, and can be long or short to accommodate different skill levels.
Ready or not, here they come: Scientists who played hide-and-seek with rats found that their furry subjects seemed to love the game- and they were remarkably good at it.
The researchers taught six adolescent male rats how to play a one-on-one version of hide-and-seek. They equipped a large room with cardboard barriers and small containers to serve as hiding places for humans and rats, respectively. The game started when the rat was placed in a small box in the middle of the room. If the rat was the “seeker,” the scientist would hide and then remotely open the box. If the rat was the “hider the scientist would crouch (蹲伏) by the box when the rat came out. This prompted the little rodent to running quickly for cover. All six rats learned how to be the seeker. Five of them were able to handle hiding as well.
Compared with something like playful wrestling, hide-and-seek is more complex for several reasons. It requires an understanding of the rules, a clear grasp of players’ distinct roles and the ability to assume different roles on different rounds. This unconventional experiment sheds light on the sophisticated sense of play in these tiny rodents, and also hints at the evolutionary usefulness of this type of play.
Peggy Mason, a neurobiologist (神经生物学家) at the University of Chicago, said that she was most impressed by the discovery that the rats didn’t just learn hide and seek—they wanted to play it. Play probably helps young animals learn how to socially interact, Mason said. She pointed to evidence that when rodents are prevented from playing during early development, they don’t grow into normal adults. Instead, they become anxious, they don’t play well with others and they aren’t great parents.

A.Rats do better than other creatures in hide-and-seek.
B.Rats may enjoy themselves in hide-and-seek.
C.Rats prefer hide-and-seek to other games.

2.What may drive the rat to hurriedly hide in the experiment?

C.Its sense of safety under the cover.
D.Other rats’ call for help.
3.Which of the following best describes hide-and-seek?

4.What may be a possible cause of a poor rat parent?

C.A lack of confidence in their kids.
D.Absence of play in their early life.
“The Lion King” is one of Disney’s highest earners. But behind “The Lion King”, a true story of Sundiata Keita is still largely invisible outside his own country.
Known as the Lion of Mali, Sundiata was the founder of the Malian Empire, the largest kingdom in West Africa. His empire expanded more than 1,000 miles from the Atlantic coast all the way to the Niger River. Sundiata ruled from 1235 to 1255.
Sundiata’s father, King Naré Maghann Konaté, was told by fortune tellers that if he married an ugly woman she would give birth to a son who would become a mighty and magnificent king. He already had a wife named Sassouma Bereté and a son named Dankaran Tourman. However, Konate took Sogolon Kedjou as his second wife. She gave birth to Sundiata, who was born disabled. Though the king favored him, both Sogolon and Sundiata were unfairly teased for his disability.
Sundiata became a great leader among his people, sparking resentment from his half-brother Tourman who wanted the throne for himself. When Konaté died, many suspected that he had been murdered. Fearful of an attack on their lives. Sogolon took Sundiata and the rest of her children and fled. The Mandinka people were taken over by the cruel and unfair King Soumaoro Kante of the Sosso people.
In need of their true leader, the people sent word for Sundiata to return and take his rightful place as the king. Outside of the country, Sundiata built alliances with the king of Mema and other local rulers. He gathered an army to free the Mandinka people and defeat the Sosso king. Upon his victorious return, he adopted a new title for himself. “Mansa,” which means king or emperor in Mandinka. Sundiata’s kingdom became one of the most wealthy and powerful empires in history.
