In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called “Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico” to “Alph” and then to “Criss Cross. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn’t have any real commercial(商業(yè)性的) success.

In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name “Scrabble”.

At first, it didn’t sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy’s department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy’s should stock(儲備) the game and make an effort(努力) to call the public’s attention to it.

As a result, “scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

C. Before 1939.????????????????????? D. Between 1939 and 1948.

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. “Most people don’t seem to mind Allan,” says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. “He’s my fourth child,” she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, rson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.

Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides(提供) a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.

People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance(保險) for their dog.

In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(損壞) their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect(影響) American society in many ways? education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行為) is suitable(合適) at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35—year—old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Many people say, I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age. No one says “Act your age anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

67. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.

A. has made people feel younger

B. has changed people’s social posiT: 20pt;tion

C. has changed people’s understanding of age

D. has slowed down the country’s social development

A. a society???????????????????????????? B. America

C. a place?????????????????????????????? D. population

69. “Act your age” means people should ______.

A. be active when they are old?? ?

B. do the right thing at the right age

C. show respect for their parents young or old ?

D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age

70. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.

A. normal??????????????????????????????? B. wonderful

C. unbelievable??????????????????????? D. unreasonable

The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle. My brother was riding with me sitting on the seat behind. As we came to the crossroads a young man and a girl came up and stopped us. “We’ve found you at long last,” they said. But we didn’t know them. Pointing to a policeman not far away, the young man explained, “He stopped us about half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender. So come on, stand here. Hope you don’t have to wait as long as we did. Good luck.”
