The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.

About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen(职业运动员). They may be sportsmen for only few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money.

For example, a professional football in England earns more than $ 30,000 a year. The stars earn lot more. International golf(高尔夫球) and tennis champions(网球锦标赛) can make more than $ 50,000 in a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment(运动装备) does not simply say “Buy our thing”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or photographs of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

Hiroyuki Mahita　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Nesaden

Manager　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 London

Hotel Sayuri　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 N06 4RL

Bukkoji-dori

Kyoto

Japan

16 September 2012

Dear Mr. Mahita,

I was given your name and the address of your hotel by two friends of ours who stayed at the Sayuri last June. They were Mr. James Collins and Mr. Arthur Drake. You would perhaps remember James Collins, as he speaks fluent Japanese.

Both Mr. Collins and Mr. Drake spoke very highly of your hotel and all the help they received from your staff when they visited Kyoto.

Following their recommendations, I would like to make a reservation at your hotel for myself and my friend, Mr. Peter Sullivan. We would like two single rooms as close to each other as possible, next-door would be ideal for us. We would like to be in Japan for New Year’s Day and to be there for Adult’s Day, which we have been told is on the second Monday in January. So we would like our reservations to be from 31 December 2012 to 20 January 2013. I have also been told that you can arrange an English-speaking guide, certainly for the Machiya, the town houses of Kyoto, but also for other aspects of life in Kyoto. Can you also advise me on car hire in Japan, please?

I look forward to hearing from you with confirmation of the booking and advice on prices and payment – how much do you want in advance as a deposit (押金)?

I should perhaps mention that unlike our friend Mr. Collins, neither myself nor Mr. Sullivan speaks a single word of Japanese (unfortunately!). But I am told that you speak excellent English.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Ted Latham

When the plane arrived on Prince Edward Island in Canada, the snow was thick on the ground as they’d had about 100cm in 24 hours. That amount of snow was unusual for the island but I didn’t know that so I wasn’t worried. It didn’t look much thicker than snow I’d seen in Scotland. I was going to visit my friend, Chris, and he’d warned me it would be very cold and snowy. In fact I was feeling too warm as I had too many clothes on.

Chris met me in his car and we were quite near his house, which was only five kilometers from the airport, when we got stuck in the snow. So we phoned the road rescue services and a man and a truck arrived. He said we were the fifth car he’d pulled out of the snow that evening. He started the engine and he’d almost pulled us out ... Only to find that the truck had brought a whole pile of snow down from the sides of the road onto both vehicles and the truck was stuck too. He phoned to get an even larger truck to come and rescue us all. In the end it did!

Chris turned off the engine and we sat in the car to wait for the second truck to pull us out. I suggested he might keep the engine running so we could stay warm. He pointed out that the gas gauge was showing nearly empty and he was worried that we still had to get to his house. We finally arrived at his house at 4.30 in the morning -five hours after leaving the airport.

1.When she got off the plane, the writer ______.

A. was afraid about the journey she had to make

B. was excited at seeing so much snow

C. realized the weather was colder than she expected

D. thought the snow wasn’t a problem for her

3.What does the underlined part ‘it did’ refer to?

A. A larger truck came to help us. B. The truck pulled our car out.

C. Someone answered the phone. D. The first truck got stuck.

4.What was Chris worried about while they were waiting?

A. The truck might not be able to find them. B. It was midnight and they might get too cold.

C. The car engine might not start again. D. They might not have enough gas to get home.

5.Why do you think the author wrote this piece?

Can you understand the following sentence?

"My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF. "

The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girt who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages（also called SMS）through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called "texting".

A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small key pad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like "r" for "are", "u" for "you", and "2" for "two". Several letters can also represent a phrase, like "lol" for "laughing out loud". Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling "please" as "pls".

Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing in that way was more comfortable for her.（The essay said, "My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face."）

Not everyone agreed that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.

1.What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?

A.The writer does not give his opinions. B.It is not bad for children.

C.It will make children bad writers. D.It is fun and easy to do.

2.Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?

A.Using letters to represent words. B.Using phrases to represent essays.

C.Using letters to represent phrases. D.Using numbers to represent words.

3.Why do some people think that texting is bad?

A.It costs too much. B.It's too difficult to type.

C.Teenagers won't learn to write correctly. D.It's not comfortable.

4.Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?

A.Not many people use texting. B.Spelling in English is too difficult.

C.Teenagers quickly become bored with texting. D.Texting will disappear because of new technology.

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Texting. B.A text message.

C.A bad thing. D.The text messaging service.

6.Not everyone agree that texting is a ________.

A.bad thing B.good thing C.badly thing D.worst thing
