    In almost every big university in the United States, football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.

    Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw (扔) the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field; they have four chances to move the ball ten yards (码). They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they can receive six points. This is called a touch-down (持球触地).

    It’s difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.

    Thousands of people come to watch it when there is a football game. They all yell for their favorite team. They dance and jump while they are yelling. Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The football season usually begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends.

    Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the dividing lines are still there, but they seem not clear.
    The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal（法律的）limits, or whether it should become more changeable, is often debated（争论）. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the dividing lines of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
    These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we seldom recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to go to  school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer（学监）, we may well think that we should go to school because of social custom and parents’ requirement rather than to the law. As adults we know “extra pay for overtime working” very well, but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成）“overtime” is a matter of legal thing. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law – as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
    【小题1】What does the underlined word “irrelevant” probably mean?
    A．Impossible.B．Unacceptable. C．Unimportant.D．Disagreeable.
    【小题2】The writer raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _____.
    A．are unknowing of the law of time
    B．fail to make full use of their time
    C．welcome changeable working hours
    D．enjoy working overtime for more pay
    【小题3】We can learn from the passage that most children go to school because they_____.
    A．have to follow the law
    B．need to find social customs
    C．need to learn more knowledge
    D．have to follow their parents’ requirement
    【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Our life is governed by the law of time.
    B．How to use time is not worth debating.
    C．New ways of using time change our society.
    D．Our time table is decided by social customs.

    One bag, that’s it.

    The importance of packing light cannot be overemphasized(过度强调). Limit yourself to 20 pounds in a carry-on bag. A 9’× 22’ ×14’ bag fits under most airplane seats. And after you enjoy that sweet mobility and freedom, you’ll never go any other way.
    You’ll walk with your luggage(行李) more than you think you will. Before leaving home, give yourself a test. Pack up completely, and practice being a tourist for an hour. Fully loaded, you should enjoy window-shopping. If you can’t, go home and thin things out.
    Packing light isn’t just about the trip over and back—it’s about your traveling lifestyle. Too much luggage marks you as a typical tourist. It slams the back door shut. Changing locations becomes an important operation. With only one bag, you’re mobile and in control. Take this piece of advice seriously. Pack light, and pack smart. These days, you can’t bring anything possibly dangerous—such as knives, lighters or large amounts of liquid (液体)—in your bag.
    What to bring?
    How do you fit a whole trip’s worth of luggage into a small backpack or suitcase(衣箱)? The answer is simple: bring very little.
    Bring out everything you think you might need on the floor. Pick up one item(件) at a time and check it. Ask yourself—not “Will I use it?”, but—“Will I use it enough to feel good about carrying it all the way? The world is getting really small—you can buy Colgate toothpaste, Nivea cream and Gillette razors in almost every country.
    Think about what you can do without—not what will be convenient on your trip. When in doubt, leave it out.
    【小题1】What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?

    A．Packing light is a kind of travelling lifestyle.
    B．Packing light can give you mobility and freedom.
    C．How to find out what to take and what not to take on a trip.
    D．How to find out if your luggage is too heavy.
    【小题2】You are allowed to take _______with you when you travel according to the passage.
    A．Colgate toothpasteB．LightersC．KnivesD．a great deal of liquid
    【小题3】The underlined part “thin things out” possibly means________.
    A．make things thin to bring
    B．make your luggage lighter
    C．take out dangerous things
    D．throw useless things away
    【小题4】The author seems to believe that _________.
    A．people had better bring nothing when they travel
    B．people can use Nivea cream only in their home town
    C．the importance of packing light is overemphasized now
    D．you will be easily seen as a tourist with a lot of luggage
    【小题5】What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Dying for a trip
    B．Things to take on a trip
    C．Pack light and pack right
    D．Travelling: a typical way of life

    “Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express (表示) a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

    When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You may think “He’s so cool,”when you see your favorite football player.

    We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.

On the student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

    But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning.
