Golf is big business in America,with a total economy estimated at nearly 70 billion dollars.The U.S.is also the world's biggest market for golf equipment,according to a report from Golf Datatech.The other top countries are Japan,South Korea,United Kingdom,Canada and China.But the industry is working on ways to make golf more appealing,especially to young Americans.

The CEO of the U.S.-based World Golf Foundation,Steve Mona,believes the current state of golf is healthy and stable.His group says about 20 million Americans regularly play the game.But Mona also sees the need for change,to get more people to discover and play golf.He said the industry has focused on ways to make the game faster,more playable and fun.

Some golf courses have expanded fairways（球道）so golfers have less chance of losing balls in water or trees. Others move up the starting point for young or new players,so they are closer to the hole.

Some new courses also have fewer obstacles than in the past,such as water ponds or sand traps.And the area near the hole is sometimes designed flatter,to keep the ball from rolling too much.

These changes could also attract adult golfers who want to play a faster,less difficult game.But with young people,Mona said it is important to get them interested at an early age.

Drive,Chip and Putting Championship

One program to do this is the Drive,Chip and Putting Championship,for girls and boys.

The name of the competition refers to golf's three main skills.Driving is when a golfer hits the ball far at the start of the game.A chip is a much shorter shot,usually taken close to the hole.Putting refers to hitting the ball softly in the area near the hole,called the green.

Junior Golf Champions

Girls and boys from all 50 U.S. states compete in the championship.Organizers say the program has been one of the best ways to bring young people to golf.But Mona said it is not enough just to get people interested."The challenge for us in the golf industry is we have to change interest into trial,"he said."And then change trial into actual participation in the game."

Sam Schmitz is studying professional golf management at Eastern Kentucky University.He also believes speeding up the game will get more people to try golf."For the younger generation,the biggest complaint about golf is how long it takes,"he said.A full game can last four hours.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How golf can appeal to more people.

B. Why the U.S. is the country of golf.

C. Whether young people like playing golf.

D. How a child can be good at playing golf.

2.We can learn from the passage that　　　　 .

A. UK is the world's third biggest market for golf equipment

B. if a hole is very near,a golfer in the game may chip the ball

C. the U.S. has shortened the time of a golf game for the young

3.Which of the following subtitles can be put in the blank of the passage?

A. Modem Changes on the Fairways

B. Modem Changes on the Obstacles

4.What is Sam's attitude towards speeding up the game?

The world’s population continues to grow. There are about five billion of us on earth now. It could reach six billion in 10 years’ time, and eleven billion in another 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people?

A major new study shows that situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. This is happening in both developing and industrial nations. Scientists said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth.

China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth before long, that is, the number of birth equaling the number of death.

Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future.

1. In the sentence “Experts have long been concerned about such growth”, the phrase “concerned about” is similar in meaning to_____.

A. worried about      B. related to       C. busy working on     D. made a study of

2. “Family planning programs” means______.

A. economic policy in a country         B. economic policy in a family

C. TV programs for a family            D. birth control in a country

3. The world’s birth rate has dropped because_____.

A. people marry at a much later time

B. women would rather go to study or work than have children

C. some countries are carrying out the family planning programs

D. all the above

4. We hope that soon the number of birth and the number of death in China will_____.

A. be greatly different          B. be equal to each other

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

More than half the planet’s population now live in cities, with limited access to the natural world. For Europe and Latin America, the figure is more than 70%. 1.

Gardening in particular is an opportunity for everyone to have such kind of experience, even if they live in built-up areas. It is typically seen as moderate (适度的) intensity exercise equal to playing doubles tennis or walking at a speed of 3.5mph, so it has similar fitness benefits.

2.Home and gardens have long been important for family food production, but gardening can also encourage people to eat more healthily and act as an educational resource on nutritious food. In fact, children who take part in gardening and grow their own food have a greater preference for, and increased consumption of, fruit and vegetables.

3.Research has shown that gardeners generally have greater life satisfaction, raised self-esteem and fewer feelings of depression and anger than non-gardeners.

This last point suggests that the mental benefits of gardening may be more than just a side-effect of the physical exercise involved, 4.People with strong social networks have an increased life expectancy, less stress and fewer visits to the doctor. In addition, spending time outdoors in a natural environment helps us to feel less stressed, reduce the symptoms of depression, and improve our concentration and attention.

All this evidence shows there’s a strong relationship between gardening and health, but we only know for sure that there is connection, not "cause and effect". 5.We also need to directly examine the immediate effects of gardening on people who have never previously taken part or are suffering from mental and physical ill health.

A. Gardening is also linked to better diets.

B. But more than this, it can promote people’s mental health.

C. One possible reason is that gardening can involve social interaction.

D. A good eating is supposed to include a balance of several food groups.

E. Yet contact with nature has varieties of benefits for both physical and mental health.

F. This means gardening alone is not necessarily a direct cause of any improvements in health.

G. Remaining socially active can also inspire seniors to build confidence and live a healthy life.
