In almost every big university（大学）in the United States, football is a favourite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances（机会）to move the ball ten yards（码）. They can carry it or they can throw it. If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points（点.

It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.

Each university wants its own team to win. Many thousands of people come to watch. They all shout for their faourite team.

Young men and women come on the field to help the people shout more. They dance and jump while they shout.

Each team plays ten or eleven games each season.

The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV.

1.Why is it difficult to move the ball? Because ___________.

A. ten yards is a long way

I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.

1. Friends of convenience（便利）. They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They’ll help us when we need them. They’ll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or heart-broken. However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.

2. Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional（感情上的）. They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.

3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when … maybe we were back in the second grade of the primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.

The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we’re still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.

4. Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations（代）. I have in my own life a true friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.

Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.

Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in a rich environment. Therefore, the limits（限度) of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view is now held by most experts.

It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer their intelligence is likely to be. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relatives like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

1.How is man’s intelligence given?

A．At birth

B．Through education

C．Both at birth and through education

D．Neither at birth nor through education

2.What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?

A．稳固 B．确定 C．修理 D．安排

3.According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?

A．Become a genius.

B．Still become a genius if he should be given special education.

C．Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.

D．Never reach his intelligence in his life.

4.What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?

A．The importance of their intelligence.

B．The role of environment on intelligence.

C．The importance of their jobs

D．The part that birth plays

Years ago, while I lived in England, part of my college task was to help the children with special needs. I was chosen to       in a school with disabled children. The teacher asked me to          Nancy, a ten-year-old girl. One of        hands could not move.

I hope everyone will encourage people to do all they want by themselves          telling them they can’t do it.
