There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do .

In the ancient world , as is today ,most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another .In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play , to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world .

What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same . The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship ,mechanics, and technology . It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing .In Egypt ,America ,China ,Japan and among the Arctic (北極的)people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use .The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拔浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000BCto one used by an infant today , however , is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.

    A. their social roles are rigidly determined

D. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities

 Many college-bound freshmen are worrying about more than just who their roommates will be this fall. They may also be nervous about the well-known fact that they are likely to gain weight this school year. Or will they? While many of us remember the extra weight that showed up right around the start of our college careers, we are not always clear on how much weight we realize gained or why.

Many nutrition experts and psychologists think that it is the change in environment and the stress of a new beginning that cause the typical college freshmen to gain extra pounds. As students start a new stage of their lives, many eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness. Often, college students are making meals or choosing foods independently for the first time in their lives. If they live in the college dormitory, they have a wide variety of foods to select from that may be higher in calories and fatter than the foods they consumed living at home. In addition, college social events usually center around food. I clearly remember sitting in my dorm cafeteria for two or three hours on a Saturday morning socializing with my new friends. Instead of eating only one meal, we would start with breakfast, eat throughout the duration of our socializing, and finish with lunch. Food also makes an appearance after late-night parties, as part of a school day, or simply to break the monotony(單調(diào) ).

So will this year's typical freshmen really gain 15 pounds? According to a 2006 Tufts University study, students enrolling in college this fall will gain weight, but maybe not the assumed 15 pounds. Based on the students surveyed, the study found that men can expect to gain an average of 6 pounds and women an average of 4.5 pounds during the freshman year.

1.According to the passage, it is obvious that __________.

A．the foods the freshmen had at home may be healthier than those in the dorm cafeteria

B．to break the monotony, the students should start with breakfast, and finish with lunch

C．the students should eat to deal with the stress of change or loneliness in new situations

D．the boys may gain less pounds than the girls during the first year in the college

2. Nutrition experts and psychologists think that __________.

A．students should get used to the stress of change through foods they had at home

B．the new environment and the stress have something to do with the students' extra pounds

C．students should know in what way they gain so much weight

D．choosing foods independently can make people lose weight naturally

3.From the writer's experience, the writer thinks that ____________.

A．foods in the dorm cafeteria are all higher in calories and fatter

B．the best way to break the monotony is through breakfast, lunch and supper

C．students in college will gain an average of about 5.25 pounds every fall

D．social events in the college are usually celebrated around food

4.This passage is mainly about ______________.

A how and why the freshmen gain extra pounds  

B. the experience of the freshmen in the college

C. the freshmen with trouble in a new environment

D. the views of the nutrition experts and psychologists about gaining weight

Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor

Ray Birdwhistell. He believe3s that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other

words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those

around- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the UNITED States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遺傳學(xué)). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth it is learned after. In fact the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US for example the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.

1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.

A．has little to do with culture                         B．has much to do much culture

C．is ever changing                                             D．is different from place to place

2.According to the passage the final mouth shape is formed _________.

        A．before birth                                                      B．a(chǎn)s soon as one’s teeth are newly set

        C．some time after new teeth are set            D．a(chǎn)round 15 years old

3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.

        A．how much he or she smiles

        B．how he or she raise his or her eyebrows www.91beidou.com

        C．what he or she likes best

        D．the way he or she talks

4.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with       .

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.

We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.

The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.

49. If a person on Comera island is ill,      .

  A. others will phone the doctor in town

  B. whistle language will pass the news to the doctor

  C. his family will take him to the doctor

  D. people will take him to the hospital

50. From the passage we know radio and TV       at that time.

  A. killed the special way of speaking

  B. whistled all the news and opinions

  C. helped Comera people to communicate

  D. did not appear on Comera island yet

51. Comera island is special in that      .

  A. it attracts visitors every year

  B. no visitors have ever been there

  C. people there have special ears to hear whistles

  D. people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other

52. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

  A. It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.

  B. The whistle language can only be found in Comera.

  C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.

D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.
