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 favourite 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.

A. ten yards is a long way

  One day, an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”

The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.

In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.

Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

（    ）1. Who was Clarence Nash? ___

 A  cartoonist.         B. the person who created Donald Duck’s voice.

 C. A film-maker.      D. A film star.

（    ）2. Where do today’s children see Donald Duck ? ______

         A. In new film.  B. At the cinema.   C. On television.   D. At concerts.

（    ）3. The underlined word”audience” in the second paragraph means______ .

         A. reads   B. formal interview   C. law freedom

 D. the people who watch a film at a cinema

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those which you might have.

  Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.

（1）Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently?    （2）Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

（3）Do you move your head from side to side as you read?   ( 4 )Do you read one word at a time?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them,or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.

If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand and hold your head still(静止不动的).

If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in  more words at each glance(一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster.As you probably have been

told, the fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance. Read in thought groups and force(强迫)your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster

（   ）1.You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading so as（为了 ____.

A. to tell others to be silent              B. to feel whether your lips move or not 

C. to hold a piece of paper between them   D. to keep yourself from talking to others

（   ）2.When you read, ________________ . 

A.don’t keep your head still     B.don’t hold your books with your hands

C.don’t stand up near a desk     D.don’t use your finger to point to words

（   ）3.If you learn to read fast, __________________.

A.you can read more in less time     B.you can write faster 

         C.you can understand better         D.you can read less in more time

（   ）4.You must _____ those habits that we are talking about in this reading.

A. remember    B. have     C. get rid of(消除)    D. keep

（   ）5. The best title for this passage is ____________.  

          A. How to read fast        B. Breaking the bad habits  

 C. Reading rules          D. Ways to read less in more time

  Camping in your backyard is full of fun, whatever how old you are. Follow these instructions and you'll have a night and you’ll never forget!

Put up your tent.

    Depending on the number of family members and guests, you may need more than one tent. Tell your friends to bring their tents if needed. Follow the instructions or check out the articles on how to put up a tent on the Internet.

Prepare your bedding.

     You’ll want your guests to be able to relax in comfort. Put something soft to lie on the floor: A blow-up air mattress(床垫) or thick comforters may work well. Fill the tent with soft toys and  blankets. Have lightweight sleeping bags or cotton blankets. They are especially important if the temperatures drop greatly at night.

 Prepare a seating area.

     If you have a picnic table, that would work best. If not, set up a few chairs and a small table to set out drinks and food. A simple choice is to lay out a blanket in the sun, so that your friends can eat and talk. Be sure the grass isn’t wet!

Make memories.

    Plan some activities. You're camping in the backyard, so it's time to make the most of being outdoors.

Have a camera nearby to take silly photos of you, your family members and your friends. Take one large group shot with everyone smiling and laughing. Be sure to make copies for everyone!
