They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it d

33、oesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cant be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of wh

34、ich side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having

35、 to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, where it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a b

36、all actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.

40、 DScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an an

41、imal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed

42、 the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when d

43、oing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Nort

44、hwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an a

45、verage of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing.63. What does the text mainly discuss? A.

46、s help people calm down. C. Peoples opinions of keeping pets. D. Pets value in medical research.64.

48、 that _.

Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines (宗教圣地). Others a

49、re looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous placesBut most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.

50、People of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediter

51、ranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy

52、 coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased

53、 tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obv

54、iously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude(独居). They bear traffic jams and seem to like crowded beachesThey dont even mind the pollutionNo matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, L
