What is the tallest gift received by the United States? Located in New York Harbor, the 152-foot Statue of Liberty（自由）was a gift of international friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States. An inspiration to millions or immigrants(移民), this statue is a universal symbol of freedom, democract(民主) and diplomacy(外交).
The relationship between the United States and France began during America’s quest（寻找）for independence from Great Britain in 1776. Benjamin Franklin was among those who served on the diplomatic front during the Revolutionary War. By living in Paris as the American ambassador, Benjamin cultivated（改善） a relationship with French government and the French people. As a result, French soldiers fought alongside the American colonists(殖民者).Paris was the site for peace negotiations（协商） between the United States and Great Britain at the end of the war.
In 1865, Edourd de Laboulaye of France developed the idea of creating a giant statue to honor the friendship and the commitment（承诺）to liberty between France and the United States. He formed the French-American Union to raise money for this project. Joseph Pulitzer used the editorial pages of his newspaper to raise support in the United States for the fund. French sculptor August Bartholdi and structural engineer Gustave Eiffel finished the project in Paris, and the French people presented it to the people of America on July4, 1884.The statue on behalf of the American people.

Here’s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for a long time ----even if you also exercise regularly---- could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place---at the office, in the car or before a computer or TV ----just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that health officials rethink how they define physical activity to emphasize the dangers of sitting, adding that while health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position every day.“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” Ekblom-Bak said.
Even for people who exercise, spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert said people who exercise every day----- but still spend a lot of time sitting-----might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single activity.
Still, in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised. “We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzmarzyk, who led the Canadian study. “But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary() behavior, the better.”
Figures from a U.S. survey found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars. “People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom--Bak said. “But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.
C5. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Do more exercise regularly B. Rethink physical activity
C. Sitting is deadly D. A healthy gesture
C6. What can we infer about sitting too long from the text ?
A. It makes great difference where the sitting takes place.
B. The body starts to send harmful signals in no time.
C. It could probably do great harm to one’s health.
D. It will certainly lead to one’s death.
A7. From the passage we can conclude that_____
A. keeping exercising without sitting long has many interests and advantages
B. sitting too long is dangerous to those working in the office
C. sitting for long is only harmful to those working before a computer
D. sitting for a long time is safer for drivers than those in the office.
A8. What does the sentence “But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary() behavior, the better.” Actually mean ?
A. It’s better for you to get up more often after sitting long.
B. The earlier you get up, the better it will be.
C. Sitting for long will certainly lead to death.
D. You’d better interrupt the person who gets up more often.
C
Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compare. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
A9.What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
B10.To become a leader in a game the child has to _________
A. be a useful partner B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself D. be popular among his playmates
A11.Why does a child like playing games?
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
B12.Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Rules in Children’s Games B. Advantages of Playing Games for Children
C. Reasons for Children’s Games D. How to Be a Popular Game Player
D
