Want to say "hello" from Disneyland? Send a post card!

Beautiful scenes of paradise (樂園), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.

The idea for the first decorated (裝飾) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

36. We can see some silly pictures on the post cards.

37. Post cards were produced before sealed letters.

38. In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.

39. Post cards were most popular during the early 1900s.

Here's an interview to a pilot about his life.

(R=Reporter; P= Pilot)

R: How much time do pilots actually spend flying a plane

P: It varies (WES'J) from about 20 minutes on some domestic (區(qū)別) flights to as much as 18 hours on international flights. It all depends on if the flight is a short- or long-haul flight.

R: Do pilots take breaks during flights or do they fly the whole time?

P: Yes, we take breaks during long-haul flights. Airlines assign (指派) three or four pilots to long flights. We take turns flying the plane.

P: It is very important. We weigh almost everything put into the airplane and make estimates (估計) according to the number of people on each flight.

R: Do pilots eat the airplane food?

P: Yes, we eat business class food! Airplane food changes every season and is very delicious if you don't hate eating lobster (龍蝦) every day!

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students' posture (姿勢) and attention improve.

Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. "The students love them", she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.

The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. "Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puert o Rico ('波多黎各) and Japan," says Witt. "Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低頭垂肩地坐) on a ball," says Witt, "but it feels awful." Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧氣 to the brain (大腦), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.

"Furthermore, they're fun." says Pownali.

46. What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _________.
A. pay more attention to his lessons B. be fun
C. like to move around D. sit up straighter

47. How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
A. About three years. B. Only one year.
C. In 2008. D. Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.

48. In how many countries are the balls used as the students' chairs?
A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.

49. Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids___________.
A. improve the students' posture and attention B. slouch on the chairs
C. have fun D. Both A and C are correct answers.

50. Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
A. Sitting on a chair. B. Sitting on a ball.
C. They are the same. D. We don't know.

【主旨大意】本文是一篇議論文。通過學生們坐在球上學習的積極作用論證了這一做法的有效性和實用性。

46.C 【解析】 由第一句話Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around.“在學校里坐在椅子上太久了就想四處走動一下。” 可知答案選C。

47.A 【解析】 根據(jù)第二段第一句中的 since December 2008“自從2008年12月份起”可知到現(xiàn)在大約三年了，故答案選A。

48. A 【解析】 通讀全文可知這種balls在文中在這四個國家應用：USA, Canada, Puerto Rico ('波多黎各) and Japan，故答案是A。

49. D 【解析】 由第一段的最后一句和最后一段的最后一句可知這種球的功效，故答案選D。

50. B【解析】通讀全文可知本文講的是坐在球上學習的好處，故答案B正和此意，所以答案選B。
