What's the most popular sport in the USA? Baseball? Soccer? American football? No, the answer is basketball. For most American people, basketball is  (excite) and interesting. 

Basketball was invented in the USA by a P. E. teacher  (call) Dr. James Naismith. He invented this sport in 

1891. At that time, he wanted  (invent) a new game that his students could play indoors (在室内). He wanted his students to keep on  (exercise) during winter. 

Basketball is played by two  (team) of five players. The goal of the game is to score points by  (throw) the ball into the basket of the other team. Each game starts with a jump ball. The referee (裁判) throws the ball into the air and one player from each team  (jump) up and tries to hit it towards his or her team. The players have to bounce (弹起) the ball on the floor as they move (this is called dribbling), or they can pass it to a teammate. 

Now basketball is very popular not  in the USA but also in some other countries, for example, China. More  more Chinese people love to play basketball, so you can see  lot of people playing basketball here and there.

There is more ocean on our planet than there is land. The first ship sailed (航海) all the way around the world about five hundred years ago. And the first journey to the deep sea floor was no more than one hundred years ago. Today the ocean is still strange to us. We are making efforts to explore (探索) (A)it.

To early sailors, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous living things. They thought that, deep below, the ocean was a cold, dark and lifeless place. Ocean exploration was also stopped by the conditions below. The huge pressure of the water would break an unprotected diver. That was why people needed special equipment.

In 1872, the first ship for ocean exploration set out on a four-year trip around the world. It carried the best scientific equipment of the time. An underwater mountain chain and more than 4, 000 new kinds of living things were discovered. The results of this journey were important, which encouraged farther exploration. In 1934, two divers dived half a mile below the surface of the ocean in the submersible (潜水器) they designed for deep-sea diving. People could see the underwater world with their own eyes. Since then, improvements have been made in diving equipment, allowing people to travel deeper for a longer time.

In recent years, China's ocean exploration (B)has taken off rapidly. Many manned deep-sea submersibles have completed thousands of dives since they were designed and developed independently by China. Fendouzhe, for example, can take humans to depths of over 10, 000 meters and collect materials for research.

The work of deep-sea explorers has given us a picture of life far below the surface. (C) There is now greater understanding of the life in the ocean. We have realized our dependence on healthy oceans and that there's still a lot remaining to be discovered in the ocean. What hasn't been seen yet?

Young Chinese Baker Rocks "Bread Olympics"

A dancing lion, a lovely panda and other Chinese symbols in interesting shapes—when these are grouped together, what kind of magic can happen? This one-meter-high bread was out of the hands of Gong Xin, a Chinese baker who won the first place in the ninth World Bread Competition, also known as "the Bread Olympic Games", making him the first ever Chinese champion (冠军) of this event. Many foreigners say (A)it is the same as a foreigner taking the first place in a dumpling-making competition in China.

After graduating from school, Gong began to learn to make bread. He worked in a bakery. Soon, he found that it could not help realize his dream because he wished to become a top baker. He then left to further his bread-making skills in a famous school. The journey of growing from a common baker to a skilled one took him only two years, but behind the rapid progress were many hours of sweating (汗水) in his free time. For Gong, hard work had produced fantastic skills, but he kept wondering how he could take those skills to the next level, which was the reason why he took part in the competition.

As a well-known international bakery competition, the World Bread Competition requires each competitor to make different types of healthy bread with creative ideas. Gong tried a lot day in, day out, finally making a name for himself.

A young baker from a small town has grown into a world champion. "Challenges are everywhere. One should have more practice, patience and a deep love for the job. More communication and exchanges about the ideas especially expressing the traditional Chinese culture with other people are also necessary," he said, adding that when he watched people enjoying and admiring his bread, he got a strong feeling of satisfaction. That is the force to keep him moving forward.

Kites are one of the oldest and simplest toys, which enjoy popularity all over the world.

It is said the kites were invented in the early Warring States Period by Mozi and Lu Ban. The period saw many wars and kites (play) an important role in scaring off enemies. Also, kites could (使用)   for testing the wind, lifting men, communicating with others and so on. For example, people used to write their own names on the kite when they were unhappy or felt (/wi: k/). By doing so, they believed that their bad luck would go with the kite. an increasing number of people flying kites, kites became more popular and were introduced from China to Japan, Korea and some western countries.

A famous kite story (be) about the American inventor Benjamin Franklin. He flew a kite during a thunderstorm. Electricity ran down the wet string and gave him small shock, which showed lightning was electricity for the (one) time. When Franklin tried it again, he was badly hurt. Believe it or not, do not try this dangerous action yourself!

So far, people (develop) kites of different sizes, shapes and colors. Some kites even have LED lights for fun light shows. a sunny day, you can see many kites flying above parks and fields. Colorful kites and children's smiling faces form a wonderful picture, which brings a new life to Chinese traditional culture.

Active Listening

When we talk, we typically expect others to listen with attention. But when someone else is speaking, are we showing them the same politeness?

Listening well doesn't come naturally to most people.. This also means we often don't really focus (集中) on what people are saying. One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening.

. Active listening is not only hearing someone's words but also taking notes of their nonverbal (非口头的) communication. Nonverbal communication can include body language, the tone (语气) and their talking speed. By practicing active listening, we can hold onto important information better and show care to others. This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us.

To get better at active listening, give the speaker your complete attention., it is easier said than done. Stopping thinking about your phone and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are the first steps., it's easier to give your complete attention to the speaker.

Another way to practice active listening is to notice body language. Research shows that 55% of face-to-face communication is nonverbal, 38% vocal (噪音的) and 7% words.. With that in mind, you can give proper replies like nodding, smiling or looking at them politely.

Now do you know how to listen actively?
 

A. By forgetting those things that could influence you

B. Although this may seem clear and easy to notice and understand

C. This means we don't pay attention to what someone is expressing

D. When someone is speaking, their body language is giving information, too

E. Because most of us live in a busy world, we care about certain things and miss the rest

F. Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and giving your understanding
