01 Topic Talk & Lesson 1 The Underdog Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 A Years ago, I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise.I listened to it every day. I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and win! I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him. Unfortunately, however, when that race came about, his left leg was hurt in a car accident. Without him running with me, although I took part in that race, I didn’t do quite well in it. 刷阅读理解 2 While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury, he never forgot the promise I made to him. He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future. So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race. What I needed was motivation （动力）.It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much, saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day. It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily. I started to think about the repeated words in the CD—“I enjoy exercise.” Instead of dreading exercise, I was thinking, “I enjoy exercise.” I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day. I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily. Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivational words of the famous works. I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life. How did I do in that race, you might be thinking? I actually won the gold medal in my age group. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了作者在一张名为I Enjoy Exercise的唱片的鼓舞下，从过去不喜欢运动转变为现在每天都会运动的故事。 1.Why did the author take part in the race by herself ?( ) C A.She would like to win the race.

One such game which has passed the test of time, becoming one of the oldest forms of child’s play ever known, is hoop rolling. Hoop rolling is both a child’s game and a sport. A large hoop is rolled along the ground, generally by means of an object held by the player to keep it rolling. The aim of the game is to keep the hoop upright for as long periods of time as possible. First, the left hand supports the hoop; the right hand holds the long handle of the hook （钩）.And then keep the balance of the hoop with the hook. Push the hoop to the ground, keep it rolling steadily and keep the hoop from falling. In the team competition, it is mainly about who is faster, and how far to roll. 刷阅读理解 10 Hoop rolling has a very long history and it has been recorded since ancient times in Africa, Asia and Europe. In Asia, the earliest records date from ancient China, and in Europe from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks welcomed hoop rolling as a beneficial exercise for those not very strong. Besides, the game was also a common pastime of African village children. Hoop rolling serves as evidence of everyday life about the long-gone civilisation. Every year at Wellesley College, the hoop rolling competition started as an activity once held on its May Day celebration. Now it gradually becomes part of the graduation ceremony. Students celebrate by dressing up in children’s clothing and playing games. The child’s play popular in ancient times helps them escape from real-world worries. The long history of the game shows that there indeed are inventions that are timeless.The human ability to make himself and others happy has been present since the beginning of civilisation, and will be present forever. 刷阅读理解 11 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种古老的儿童游戏——滚铁环。 1.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about hoop rolling?( ) A A.Its rules.
