But youd be wrong.A Scandinavian manuscript(手稿),900 years old, tells

17、of how one player, who lost a game, picked up the board and hit his opponent on the head with it. Boards were made of stone in those days.Grandmasters have called it “a blood sport”, like a fight to the death with broken bottles” and “very dangerousyou have to kill people.”If you agree with the old

18、saying that life is too short for chess, play blitz chess. Five minutes on the clock. Now players think chess is slow and boring, but blitz is an extremely exciting sport, and as aggressive（进攻性的） as any martial art(武术). In parks in Russia, where they gather in summer to play blitz, the players dont

19、just take pieces, they knock them off the board onto the ground. And in the classic game, even world championship players have been known to kick each other under the table.With all this aggression, and the stories of nervous breakdowns among chess players, its worth remembering that chess can heal

20、as well as harm. My own favorite chess story is that of John Healy. His autobiography（自传）, The Grass Arena , was made into a great film by the BBC. Healy was a failed boxer who became the most serious kind of alcoholic. He became homeless. The bottle nearly killed him. But in prison, he discovered c

21、hess, and managed to give up drinking completely. He is now a successful chess player, journalist and writer.Healy is played in the film by the British actor Mark Rylance.

25、ause of increased physical fitness, life expectance in the nation has risen to seventy-three years, with fewer people suffering from heart disease, the nations number one killer.Jogging（慢跑）, the easiest and cheapest way of improving the body, keeps over30 million people of all ages on the run. For t

26、he price of a good pair of running shoes, anyone anywhere can join the race.Dieting, too, has become a national pastime. Promoters of diets that eliminate eating one thing or another, such as fats or carbohydrates（碳水化合物）, promise as much as 20-pound weight losses within two weeks. Books describing s

27、uch amazing diets always head up（居-之首）the best-seller lists because people who are overweight want to lose weight quickly and easily.Nevertheless, jogging and dieting, carried to extremes, can be harmful. Many confused joggers overdo and finally suffer from ankle and foot damage. Dieting, fortunatel

28、y, becomes only a temporary means for shedding a few pounds while the body lose the balanced nutrition（营养） it requires, so most dieters cannot keep on diets. Above all, common sense should be the keystone for any dieting and exercise plan.59The main idea of this passage is that .A. both jogging and

Exercise and diet are more widespread in America than ever before61. The best title for this passage is . A. Jogging and D

31、iet B. Exercise and Health C. Physical Fitness D. Life Expectancy and DietCAs more women in the United States move up the professional（职业）ladder, more are finding it necessary to made business trips alone. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook

32、a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and t

33、ell them that you will be eating alone.

34、s well as for business papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep required papers separate.

The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are n

39、ot very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. I n any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is

40、expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object

41、 is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people think it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part o

42、f family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful.

43、ause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving. A saving account is

44、 an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two

45、cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.66. Many parent give children an allowance regularly to .
