The English language started about 1,500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to England-After some time, the three languages became one new-language-English. The name “English” comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. “England” means “Angle Land” or “Country of the Angles”.
The language that we speak today－Modern English－is not the same as the English that people used many years ago, including Old English(before 1150)and Middle English(up till 1500).That language—Old English—sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar.

Ms Petoskey, my seventh grade teacher at Queen of Apostles was, and still is, the greatest teacher. She was creative with her teaching styles; every new day she brought a new way of leaning literature, by using a game rap song, and other things.
I must say, the kids in my class sometimes didn’t listen to the teachers carefully, but Ms Petoskey was able to attract their attention. Her literature classroom had bean bags and fun chairs to sit in while we read, and our desks were always set up in special positions—all around the room. It looked messy
when you walked in the room, but we liked it! She let us choose who we sat next to, but once we talked too much, she would move us. She allowed us to make her classroom our home.
She was passionate (热情的) about her job. She let us choose the books we wanted to read next, which made me more interested in books. It wasn’t what we had to read, but what we wanted to read. Whenever we would present ideas about literature or poems, her eyes would light up and she would become excited.
She always made sure everyone was having fun in her class and brought cakes to the classroom every Friday for our silent reading time. She was patient when we got out of hand. She was always cheerful, which made me enjoy coming to school. Ms Petoskey is the teacher I still visit and chat with (even after five years). She is the teacher I can thank for making me enjoy reading !

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
68. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of(支持)?
A. Motor racing in the desert.
B. Cycling around a lake.

A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortages around the world.
C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.
D. It needs water and much energy to keep its courses green.
70. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because______.
A. it uses fewer resources
B. it improves our health
C. it is an outdoor sport
D. it is recommended by experts
71. The author writes the passage to_______.
A. show us the function of major sports
B. introduce different types of sports
C. discuss the major influence of popular sports
D. encourage us to go in for green sports

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. He swam towards the middle of the lake, not realizing that a crocodile was swimming toward him. His mother, who was in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the boy became alarmed and swam back. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. The mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.
