Winter is a time for many exciting sports: sledding (乘雪橇), skating and skiing. Skating and skiing need lots of skills. Sledding gives you good exercise and is lots of fun!

A sled looks like a boat. It can move easily over snow or ice. Early sleds were made of wood. Now some better sleds are made of glass.

Sleds can be pulled（被拉）by animals. In some very cold parts of the world, people make animals like dogs, horses, and reindeer (驯鹿) pull(拉) goods(货物) or people in sleds.

People also sled for sports and fun. Driving a sled does not need much skill. The driver gives a kick(踢) in the snow to start the sled. He or she can also ask someone else for help. In a sled, there can be one person(人) or several(几个).

Usually, you have to lie on your back, feet first in a sled. As you travel, you move your body and feet to keep it in the right direction (方向).

There is a special sled called the skeleton sled (骨架雪橇). It’s very different.

On a skeleton, you lie on your stomach and drive the sled in a head-first way. It is very fast! Many people are afraid to ride it. But once they try it, they want to do it again!

Salt Lake City is known for many things. It is named for the Great Salt Lake, which is the largest salt water lake in North America. The city held the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Now, it is famous for helping to protect a family of peregrine falcons.

Young peregrine falcons begin learning how to fly when they are about five or six weeks old. It takes about a week for the parents to teach them. In natural areas, it is a bit safer for the young birds to take the risks that come with learning to fly. In cities, it can be more dangerous because they can hit the buildings or fly into traffic.

In Salt Lake City, volunteers (志愿者) put on bright orange vests (背心)to protect themselves as they keep an eye on the young birds. These volunteers actually put themselves in danger to save the birds. For example, if a young peregrine falcon accidentally flies into traffic, one volunteer stops traffic. Another tries to catch the bird and move it out of harm's way.

Bob Walters, one of the volunteers, joins a group of more than 20 people interested in the peregrine falcons. They give some basic training on what will need to be done once the young birds start flying. Jon Everts has been volunteering for several years. He says he keeps coming back because it's one of the world's fastest birds.

Many birdwatchers in the area heard about the nests and the young falcons. Some of them came out to help. Others just wanted to watch as the babies took their first flights. The volunteers are right to be worried about the young falcons. In the last few years, people counted 16 young peregrine falcons around downtown Salt Lake City. Only 11 of those birds continued to live. Of the 11 birds, six were helped by volunteers.

These numbers help the volunteers remember that the work they are doing really makes a difference. Some of them work 12-hour days to protect the peregrine falcons and their families. However, when the volunteers see a new generation (一代) of falcons that are ready to leave home, it makes all their work meaningful.

1.What is Salt Lake City famous for now?

2.Why is it dangerous for young peregrine falcons to learn to fly in cities?

3.If a young peregrine falcon flies into traffic, what do volunteers do?

4.What does Jon Everts think of the peregrine falcons?

5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.

When to arrive

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is better to arrive at the right time.

What to bring

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This should be a box of chocolate for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

How to greet

When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect(尊敬) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.

It’s a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and they will invite you again!

Everybody knows that soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world.

Soccer is not a new sport. People all over the world played the game in different ways long ago. For example, in China nearly 2,000 years ago, soldiers kicked a ball as part of their exercise. Five hundred years ago in Europe, games in the street were common.

Soccer became popular in England in the 1800s. Different schools, clubs and groups played with different rules. In 1863, these English groups had meetings. They organized(组织)the different games into one game with similar rules. Soon, they formed the Football Association.

Not everyone agreed with the new rules. In England, some groups wanted to hold the ball with their hands so these groups formed rugby clubs. Groups in the United States also wanted to use their hands in the sport so they formed"football"clubs. Americans who didn't want to use their hands called the game “soccer”. Soccer is a short form of the word association.

From England, soccer began to grow. The first official international game of soccer was played between Scotland and England in 1872. By the 1880s, there were professional soccer teams in several parts of Europe. English players also introduced soccer to Africa, South America and New Zealand.

Soccer soon became very popular all around the world. FIFA, the international football federation(联盟), met for the first time in 1904. Seven countries came to the meeting. The first World Cup was in Uruguay in 1930. Only 13 countries played in the Uruguayan World Cup.

The World Cup is now the most popular sporting event in the world. Over 720 million people around the world watch the final game of the World Cup.

Next time you're playing soccer with your friends, remember that you're part of a long history of a fun and exciting sport.

1.Is soccer a new sport?

2.Why did people form “football”clubs in America?

3.When was the first official international game of soccer?

4.What is the passage mainly about?
