Trampolining

What’s more fun than standing still? Jumping up and down on a springy piece of fabric (織物)! This activity is known as trampolining and it’s sweeping the nation.

The idea of trampolining is ancient.Eskimos have been throwing each other in the air for thousands of years.Firemen began using a life net to catch people jumping from buildings in 1887.1.

A gymnast named George Nissan and his coach Larry Griswold made the first modern trampoline in 1936.They got the idea by watching swing artists bouncing off of a tight net at the circus.They named their equipment after the Spanish word trampolín, which means diving board.

2. In 1942 they began making trampolines to sell to the public.

3.Experts find that more than 100,000 people hurt themselves while using one each year.Clubs and gyms use large safety nets or other equipment to make it safer.Most trampoline injuries happen at home.Since trampolines are more affordable than ever, injuries are even more common.

These injuries happen for many reasons.People may bounce too high and land off of the trampoline or onto the springs.4.Perhaps the worst injuries happen when untrained people try to do flips (快速翻轉(zhuǎn)).Landing on your neck or head can cause injuries or even kill you.

But don’t let all that bad news keep you down.There are many things that you can do to practice safe trampolining.Trampolines have been around for a while now.They have brought a lot of joy to many people.They can be a good source of exercise and activity.5.But they can also be deadly.It is important to follow some professional guidance.Be sure that you are practicing safety while having a good time.Happy bouncing!

A. They can help people improve their balance and moves.

B. Trampolines may be fun, but they can also be dangerous.

C. The men wanted to share their idea with the whole world.

D. Injuries also happen when many people are jumping at the same time.

E. You can surround your trampoline with a net so that people don’t fall off of it.

F. They found a winner when they performed a piece of spring across a steel frame.

G. And in the early 1900s, circus performers began bouncing off of netting to amuse audiences.

In 1693 the philosopher John Locke warned that children should not be given too much “unhealthy fruit” to eat.Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular.Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched.In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏執(zhí)的).In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (無人監(jiān)督的).

Her severe punishment reflects the rich world’s worry about parenting.By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious (認真的) than previous generations.Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did.However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class.One is at the lower end.Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.America is a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life.If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns.

The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational (理性的) Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much.Safety is part of it—they fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational.Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road.The other popular parental fear—that your children might not get into an Ivy League college—is more rational.Academic success matters more than ever before.But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine.Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart.A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents.

This doesn’t mean that parenting is irrelevant.The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class.But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential.Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit.And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage?

A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parents

B. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parenting

C. Children will die unless ceaselessly watched

D. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation

2.The underlined word “l(fā)aggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that __________.

A. is ahead in development

B. falls slow behind others

C. is free from physical or mental disorder

D. moves to a higher position

3.Which of the following can we learn from the passage?

A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.

B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.

C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas.

D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.

4.This passage is mainly written to __________.

A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changed

B. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations

C. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their children

D. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age children

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride.Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it.But Lee Gray,PhD,of the University of North Carolina,US,has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport.He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (禮儀) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC.“The elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door.If someone else comes in,we may have to move.And here,according to Gray,liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements.He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift,you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you,you go into different corners,standing diagonally (對角線地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters,you will unconsciously form a triangle.And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square,with someone in every corner.A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively.Once in,for most people the rule is simple – look down,or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg,a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin,told the BBC.“Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us.And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small,enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd.“The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.

1.According to Gray,when people enter an elevator,they usually _____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. make eye contact with those in the elevator

D. try to keep a distance from other people

2.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

A.

B.

C.

D.

3.According to the article,people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A. someone’s odd behaviors

B. a lack of space

C. their unfamiliarity with one another

D. their eye contact with one another

【小題】What’s the passage mainly about _____.

A. Bad manners in the elevator

B. Some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. An interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. The strange behaviors in the elevator
