Underwater Ice Hockey（曲棍球）is a new sport that began in Austria and is increasingly popular among free divers.

Not to be confused with underwater hockey,which is played in indoor swimming pools,underwater ice hockey is practiced in a 6 meters wide by 8 meters long place under the icy surface of a frozen lake.After cutting a square hole in the thick ice,players wearing wetsuits,which are worn in cold water,try to move a puck（冰球）into their competitor's goal.Think of it as an upside-down game of hockey.

Underwater ice hockey players need to have excellent breath-holding abilities,considering they are not allowed to play with any kind of breathing equipment.Considering matches can get pretty physical,players need to surface about every 30 seconds for a breath of fresh air.Divers can easily get lost during a game.In case one of them is too tired to reach the hole,or can't find it,four divers equipped with oxygen tanks watch every match.Underwater ice hockey periods last 10 minutes,and players are allowed 10-minute breaks to warm up.

The world's first ever Underwater Ice Hokey World Cup was held in Weissensee,Austria and was won by a team from Finland.Because of the special conditions it's played in,fans present at the scene have to watch the underwater action on monitors.

Lexi Peters, a 14-year-old girl in New York, loves hockey. She’s not only good at playing on her after-school team, but also at playing hockey video games. But when Peters played the popular NHL (National Hockey League) games made by Electronic Arts, something really bothered her. The virtual (虚拟的) character in the game could only be a boy — not a girl.

She didn’t think that was reasonable. There must be many girls playing hockey in the US. So she wrote a letter to Electronic Arts.

“Being represented by a man is unfair to women and girl hockey players,” Peters wrote. “Women’s hockey is a fast-growing sport. I am confident that I’m not the only woman interested in the opportunity to create herself in the game.”

Several weeks later, Peters received an unexpected e-mail from the senior producer for EA Sports’ NHL games, David Littman. “Hi, Lexi,” the e-mail began. “We agree with you!”

Electronic Arts said it would create a female player in the game. “I was thinking you could be the model,” Littman wrote. Peters almost couldn’t believe it. Later, she sent photos of herself taken at all different angles (角度).

And so, when Electronic Arts released the newest version of their game, NHL 12, this fall, Peters was the face of the female player. She can now skate with the NHL’s great players. “It’s strange at first, but you get used to it,” said Peters. “It’s really funny and cool.”

For Peters, there is also an important lesson that she will take with her the rest of her life. “If you have something to say, and you think it’s important, go for it!” she said.

1.What bothered Peters when playing NHL games?

A．There was no girl character in the game.

B．The characters were not real at all.

C．No girls would like to play the game.

D．It was not like playing real hockey games.

2.According to Peters’ letter, we can know that ________.

A．girls were not allowed to play hockey in the past

B．female players can be represented by men

C．boys don’t like to play hockey with girls

D．more and more girls are interested in hockey

3.What was David Littman’s opinion of Peters’ letter?

A．He ignored it.                          B．He disliked it.

C．He agreed to it.                         D．He voted against it.

4.Peters’ experience tells us that we should ________.

A．enjoy the fun of being a model

B．do what you think important to do

C．work hard to get used to any new situation

D．think about problems from different angles

Looking for Canadian culture? Just put your eyes on the ice rink. “We love hockey,” says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. “It really is Canada’s sport.”

There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which Canadians have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?

Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six players: a goalie (goal keeper), a centre, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates.

Instead of a ball, hockey uses a puck, which is a small black object that looks like a small, flat round cake made of rubber. Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other team’s goal. The team which scores the most goals at the end of three periods is the winner.

“Hockey has a lot of rules,” says Alexander, “but once you are used to it, it seems very natural.”

In Canada, hockey is part of the national identity. Many Canadians play youth hockey when they are growing up, and many Canadian families make a tradition of watching the games.

“I played goalie when I was younger,” remembers Alexander. “My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV.”

Hockey doesn’t just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. “Canada is a diverse country that doesn’t have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together,” says Alexander.

1.The passage is mainly about _____.

A. the origin and development of hockey　　 B. Canadians’ diverse sports culture

C. Marion Alexander’s view of hockey　　 D. the role of hockey in Canadian culture

2.Hockey is important to Canadians for all of the following reasons except _____.

A. it is Canadians’ favourite sport　　 B. it is an event at the Olympics

C. it is part of the national identity　　 D. it helps unite the whole country

3.What does the underlined sentence imply?

A. Canada is more diverse than China.

B. Canadians are not as united as the Chinese.

C. There are not many things that bring all Canadian people together.

D. There are not so many sports in Canada as in China.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Hockey Brings Canadians Together　　 B. How to Play Hockey

C. The National Identity for Canadians　　 D. Finding Canadian Culture

I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.

San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.

Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train.
