We all know that regular physical exercise is good for a girl’s body, mind, and spirit ．Here are a few:
Research shows that girls who play sports do better in school and are more likely to graduate than those who don’t．Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration, which can give active girls an advantage when it comes to the classroom．
Some benefits of sports are clear — like improving fitness and maintaining a healthy weight．Girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke．But girls who play sports in school also continue to see the benefits later in life, with reduced chances of getting breast cancer．Sure, you can get these benefits from any type of exercise．
Working with coaches, trainers, and teammates to win games and achieve goals is great practice for the real world, where teamwork is a key to success．For years, boys learned these skills through sports while girls sat on the sidelines．But as more and more women hit the field, they’re joining boys in both the classroom and the boardroom．
Girls involved in sports feel better about themselves, both physically and socially．Practicing, improving skills, and gradually achieving goals help to build confidence．
Pressure is a big part of life．Playing sports can help you deal with it, since exercise is a natural mood lifter and a great way to reduce pressure．Plus, when you are on a team, you have friends who support you both on and off the field．
Other benefits of doing sports include getting in shape, and making new friends．

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers（生产商） follow certain uniform standards for various features of clothes．What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men．Take a look at the way your clothes button．Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left．Considering most of the word’s population----men and women----are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women．So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here．Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants．For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier．On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too．Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt．
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them．Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change．At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right．After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch．Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts．
1.What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years．
B．It is different for men’s clothing and women’s．
C．It woks better with men than with women．
D．It fails to consider right-handed people．
2.What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?
A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons．
B．They were interested in the historical matters．
C．They were mostly dressed by servants．
D．They drew their swords from the left．
3.Women’s clothes still button from the left today because ．
A．adopting men’s style is improper for women
B．manufacturers should follow standards
C．customs are hard to change
D．modern women dress themselves
4.The passage is mainly developed by ．
A．analyzing causes B．making comparisons
C．examining differences D．following the time order
In the decade（十年）of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem．We humans are destroying the world around us．We must learn to protect them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren．
There are several major aspects to this problem．
Population
Most problems of the environment come from population growth．In 1700 there were 635 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1．6 billion; in 1950, 2．5 billion; and in 1980, 4．4 billion．In the year 2010 there will be 7．3 billion．More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum．
Distribution
Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little．Some areas get all rain during one season．The rest of the year is dry．
Petroleum
We are using up the world’s petroleum．We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter．Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich．They use them to kill insects on those plants．These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there．Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year．Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it．Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other countries．
Poverty
Poor farmers use the same land over and over．The land needs a rest so it will be better next year．However, the farmer must have food every year．Poor people cut down trees for firewood．In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert．However, people need wood to cook their food now．Poor people cannot save the environment for the future．
We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems．However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world．It is a problem for all humans．The people and the nation of the world must work together to protect the world’s resources．No one controls the future, but we all help make it．

Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it．It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport．The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds．This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle （奇迹） it is．
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal．Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year．In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act．If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out．
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication．Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment．The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad．This is so-called “body language”．Bristling （直立的） fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals．Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering．
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display．Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history．
