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. 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 (证据) of everyday life about the long-gone civilization. Every year at Wellesley College, hoop rolling competition started as a memory of the May Day celebration of spring. 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 civilization, and will be present forever. 语篇解读　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?

The study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson's patients for up to five years.One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not.The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms (症状), movement and balance.This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group.At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved. Prof.Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology and neuroepidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study”—the positive effects on aspects of motor (运动的) and non-motor functions are impressive — but said there were limitations in its design, and more tests were needed. “We already recommend Tai Chi, as well as other forms of exercise, but understanding which forms of exercise are most beneficial is an important goal to improve the long-term management of patients，” he said. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，练习太极拳有助于缓解帕金森氏病的症状。 5．Why was the study conducted?
