Who would have thought to put a kite and a surfboard together? It may seem like an impractical idea, but a man named Cory Roeseler from Oregon believed that it would work, and introduced the idea in the 1980s．1. Over the next few years, other designers contributed to the style and shape of the board, resulting in a mixture of kiting and surfing, which is what kite surfing is today．

2. The power kite pulls a small board that is fastened to the surfer’s feet, and there is a harness (安全帶) that goes around the surfer’s waist to make sure that the surfer stays connected to the board．The wind determines which direction would be easiest for the surfer to go in．Once the kite surfer is able to control the board and the kite, they can learn many tricks, such as turning, jumping, and so on． 3.

This sport can sometimes be potentially dangerous to other kite surfers, beachgoers, and the kite surfers themselves if they don’t know how the proper procedure is done．4. They can learn the techniques safely without putting themselves and others in danger．A good course should include basic operations, kite set-up, maintenance (維修) of equipment, weather planning, and emergency landings．These courses are available in almost all areas where kite surfing is popular．

5. Some popular destinations for kite surfing enthusiasts are South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, but wherever there is wind, there will be kite surfers．You might even be able to see kite surfers on the beach closest you!

A．Kite surfing has become a mainstream sport．

B．Kite surfing is a difficult and dangerous sport．

C．The way it works is an application of simple physics．

D．The first design was with water skis powered by a kite．

E．It is also known as kite boarding, and in some European countries as fly surfing．

F．Therefore, it is highly recommended that people who want to participate in this sport attend a

course．

G．With the combination of the wind and the ocean, some kite surfers can go at top speeds while

flying over 20 feet in the air．

Recently, China UnionPay did an experiment in a subway station in Beijing—Are you willing to offer a hand to a stranger who needs help?

The leading role of the experiment was an old man. With a small bag in one hand and a large case in the other， the old man appeared in a cold winter morning in the bustling（繁忙的） subway station. He was so old that he couldn’t carry the heavy case up the stairs. Standing in front of the steps, he looked helpless.

Something good happened finally. At 9 o’clock, a kind man showed up, he offered to carry the case for the old man and walked up the stairs with him, at 9：25, another man helped …

Within six hours，the old man walked up the stairs for 25 times，among which he was helped for 23 times.

What’s more，two ladies tried to help the old man—one in the front and the other in the back. They carried the case up the stairs for him. The most noteworthy thing was that another old man tried to help too.

When these kind people were asked why they helped the stranger，they all said “ It’s just the right thing to do,” “I always help people as long as I can” ,or “it’s not a big thing, and I just want to help”.

We often see negative news about fake falling and blackmailing or scheming (陰謀)and cunning. But this experiment brought sheer warmth into our heart.

1.Why did China UnionPay carry out the experiment?

A. To find out whether strangers need help when they are in trouble.

B. To find out whether someone can help those who want to help others.

C. To find out whether strangers can be helped when they are in danger.

D. To find out whether someone can help strangers who are in need of help.

2.What do we know about the old man?

A. He lived a hard and miserable life.

B. He helped to do the experiment.

C. He was too weak to carry the case upstairs.

D. He left after being helped by another old man.

3.The most moving scene is that______________ .

A. most of the passers-by helped the old man

B. even a disabled girl helped the old man

C. another old man also helped the old man

D. one lady carried the old man on her back

4.What message does the experiment express?

A. What warms us most is that helping others is grateful in our society.

B. What people gain is that they will be rewarded for helping others in China.

C. What strikes us is that China UnionPay really did a successful experiment.

D. What impresses us is that most people help others really by nature.

Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport，yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport．Actually，competitive cheerleading is a sport．

A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent，governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared，and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants．"Because cheerleading follows these guidelines，it is a sport．

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities．Like gymnasts，cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滾) ．They perform lifts and tosses．This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air，held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates．

Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play，so does competitive cheerleading．The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area．

Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best．Just like gymnasts，they are awarded points for difficulty，creativity and sharpness．The more difficult a mount，the sharper the motions，the better the score．Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation，first place is out of reach．

Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women．Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport，partially because they do not wear protective gear．While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets，smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates．The fliersmust remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely．Also，because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools，neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety．Instead，the girls use whatever space is available．More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries．

So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport？Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd，but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes．

Hopefully，cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball，and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports．

1.What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A． Strength and cooperation

B． Lifts and tosses

C． Supporting teammates

D． Physical activities

2.Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _________

A． explain the dangers of cheerleading

B． show their similarities with cheerleaders

C． suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnastics

D． present the guidelines of gymnastic movements

3.It can be leamed from the passage that cheerleading _________

A． is a good sport for all people

B． lacks necessary guidelines to follow

C． is more than a form of entertainment

D． enjoys greater popularity than other sports

4.This passage is written mainly to _________

A． attract more girls to cheerleading

B． draw people's attention to cheerleading

C． call for more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport

D． criticize some Americans who do not think cheerleading as a sport
