26、Sports are popular for a number of reasons. Sports are even more popular with people who do not necessarily participate in them, but love being spectators (观众). Here are several most popular sports in the world.
Football (Soccer)-4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is the most popular sport in the world. It is said that the origin of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in China. One reason for football’s popularity is that unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Hockey-2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and in a field, wins a following of two billion people. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not involve body contact in the form of checking.
Tennis-1 billion
An estimated one billion people world wide follow tennis. In tennis, players on both sides of an elongated (偏长的) net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponents or bounces on their opponents' side twice to score points. Pro tennis players, like Roger Federer and Serena Williams, are now household names around the world.
Volleyball-900 million
Volleyball involves two teams, each on one side of a raised net, trying to “volley” a ball onto the ground of the opposing team's side for points. One popular game, known as beach volleyball, is played on sand with two people on each team, as opposed to regular volleyball, where there are normally six players on each team.

27、A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It’s called the ipet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.
Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion’s founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.
The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(钩住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.
But there’s sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the boys and change the place where they’re located in the room.
Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adapter(适配器) ---toys that you can get on your own. And that’s where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don’t really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you’d be able to activate to water your grass.
“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the woorld,” Harris said.
【1】What does the underlined word “remotely” in Paragragh 1 probably mean?
A. far away.
B. For free.
C. With pity.
D. Out of control.
【2】Many people are interested in iPet Companion because______________.
A. it can be used to kill time
B. it is easy to control online
C. it can meet all of their demands
D. they can show their love for faraway pets by using it
【3】Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?
A. Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.
B. They don’t receive rewards from the games.
C. Toys are played with too often at the same place.
D. Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.
【4】What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?
A. iPet Companion is only a kind of toy.
B. Kickstarter can be used in many other ways.
C. iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.
D. iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away.
28、People can be addicted to different things -- e.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to the psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. 【1】. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices and discounts. 【2】. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, the experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason and the real reason.
It is not only the scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also the business people. 【3】. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
【4】. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
A.Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business.
B.Recognize and change the spending habits that can cause you to be overloaded with debt.
C.Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things they don’t need just because they are cheap.
D.Psychologists can often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personality problems.
E.They feel they must spend money.
F.Stop buying so much stuff and try to spend more money on experiences
29、Some of you may play Ant Forest, a game on Alipay. Users collect “energy” to make their “trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain level, some organizations and companies will plant a real tree in a desert area of China. And now it seems that the nation’s efforts as a whole to make a greener world have paid off.
According to a research by NASA, China and India are mainly responsible for making the Earth greener over the past two decades. The study has found that since 2000 the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers. That’s an area equivalent to the total area of the Amazon rainforest. It is mainly the result of big tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries, according to NASA. China was the major contributor, adding 25 percent to this increase, while India added 6.8 percent.
Over the past decades, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, China began a national-level forestation project – the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program, also known as the “Great Green Wall”. The program has seen many trees planted in 13 provinces and autonomous regions in northern China to act as windbreaks, according to China Daily. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions of the project had reached 13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago.
In the light of China’s success in dealing with desertification, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) believes the country is a good example for others to follow. “China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world,” UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim told Xinhua.
【1】Which of the following is the nearest meaning of the underlined word in para 2?
A.equal
B.similar
C.previous
D.absolute
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.China is the most successful country in greening the desert.
B.Through Ant Forest, users can plant a real tree on their own.
C.China has made great contributions to greening the earth.
D.Most desert areas in China had been forests by the end of 2017.
【3】Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A research report
B.A magazine
C.A guidebook
D.A book review
