Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it. It began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.

The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition as well as another competitor, Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten.Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to be friend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to bounce a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.

On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel's face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same. Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never have won the competition.

B. He was fond of building robots.

C. He intended to help her.

D. He didn't want her to suspect him.

D. His attitude is not clear.

At the University of Kansas art museum,scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white ; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly,covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room--a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly ones.

There are many commonly held beliefs about eyeglasses and eyesight that are not proven facts.For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.

We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.

Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another.There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, and as if yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye--the cornea and the retina-can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some-day a full transplant may be possible!

( )44. This passage is mostly about __________

A. different types of eyeglasses

B. a visit to the eye doctor

C. myths about eyesight

D. cornea transplants

( )45. One cause of eyestrain mentioned in the passage is __________

A. wearing contact lenses too long

B. going to the movies

C. reading a lot

D. not visiting your eye doctor

( )46. From this passage one can conclude that __________

A. doctors are still learning things about eyesight

B. headaches are only caused by eyestrain

C. everyone should wear glasses

D. people only believe things that are proven facts

( )47. The word "develop" is used to mean __________

A. become larger

B. create

C. train

D. acquire

Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wing field thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns,and in December 1873,he introduced his new game,which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly,but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term "lawn tennis".

By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outer bridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.

And just two years later,in 1876,the first United States lawn tennis tournament( 锦标赛)was held at Nahant near Boston.
