Sports like figure skating，ice hockey，speed skating，and ski jumping have been part of Olympic history since the first Winter Olympics were hosted in France，in 1924.But the origins of many Olympic sports stretch back even further.
ωThe ancient origins of skiing
   Skiing has been around since early civilization，evidenced by a 5，000-year-old rock carving showing men on skis in Norway，and the discovery of a ski dating back to 6000 B．C．found in Russia.Modern skiing can be traced back to the Scandinavians，who primarily used skis as a means of travel or for other practical purposes.Some of the first official competitions began around 1850 in Norway，with the first recorded race in Sweden held outside Stockholm in 1879.
   The British are the ones who transformed skiing from its Scandinavian roots into the highly competitive sport it is now.Alpine skiing or downhill skiing is the most popular form of skiing，and it first appeared in the Winter Olympics in 1936.
ωThe development of snowboarding
   Snowboarding originated as a backyard activity known as snurfing—invented by a father to entertain children.
   In 1965，Sherman Poppen of Muskegon，Michigan，was looking for something his children could use as a sled.He tied together two skis—creating a toy he named "Snurfer".Less than a year，the toy exploded into a national craze.
   Although an annual championship in Muskegon was sponsored by the makers of the Snurfer，competitors began to create their own boards.Because Poppen had trademarked the term Snurfer，they began to call the sport snowboarding instead.By 1985，snurfing fell out of fashion，but snowboarding had caught on worldwide.It finally became an official Olympic sport for the 1998 Games.
ωThe earliest evidence of curling
   The predecessor （前身） of curling is a Scottish game in the 16^th century played on frozen lakes and ponds，using smooth stones from riverbeds.
   Centuries later，the first curling club was founded in Scotland and received the approval of Queen Victoria in 1843.In the sport，players slide the stones toward a target—earning more points the closer the stone lands to the center.By the 20^th century，curling was so widespread that it was one of the few sports played in the first Olympic Games in 1924.

1．When did you last stop to look at a tree？Really look at it ，not merely notice it.Trees play such an important role in our lives and yet day to day we often don' t even notice them；we often take them for granted.Yet if you are looking to strengthen your grounds ，reduce pollution around your school ，improve your children's health and wellbeing and develop your science subject ，then planting trees is certainly the way forward.
   The first and most obvious benefit of starting a tree -planting program is the environmental impact.Children are enthusiastic，and often highly knowledgeable about climate change and the main causes of it.They are also interested in projects that can make a difference to their community' s carbon footprints.Planting trees is an easy and long-lasting way to involve pupils and to have a positive impact on the climate.
   A tee-planting program also offers teachers the opportunity to discuss biodiversity （生物多樣性） and gives pupils the chance to get involved in an actual example.It' s a real-life science experiment and will provide children with amazing habitats to study in science lessons for years to come.
   Planting trees can also have a positive impact on children' s mental health.One in four people in the UK will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives and one in 10 children aged 5-1 6 have a diagnosable （可診斷的） mental health condition ，according to The Children' s Society.Mental health is a complex issue with many causal factors and no simple solutions.However ，according to the Mental Health Foundation ，the opportunity to play and learn in outdoor environments has been quoted in research studies as a significantly positive influence.
   Being active will also improve children' s general health and wellbeing，as well as increasing engagement more generally by providing an enjoyable context for learning.Parents and the community ，o，will enjoy the improved beauty of the school grounds.

2．    Have you learned a lot of English words？Well，many more are being created right now!
    Neologisms appear all the time，especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
   Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield，author of Netymology：A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World，says that in the16th Century，many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
   In the19th Century，the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
   Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever，says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution，and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
   From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games，technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"（OMG），"laughs out loud"（LOL） and"for your information"（FYI）.
   We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
   The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles，automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings，new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
   Where habit leads，language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile，as a student of the English language，you've got a lot of catching up to do.

（1）What does the underlined word"Neologisms"in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A.New words.
B.Old words.
C.Strange words.
D.Technological words.
（2）How does the author prove his opinion？

A.By experimenting.
B.By giving examples.
C.By asking and answering.
D.By telling stories.
（3）What's the author's attitude to the new words？

A.Disappointed.
B.Concerned.
C.Subjective.
D.Objective.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

A.How to Learn New Words
B.How to Invent New Words
C.New Words，Good or Bad
D.New World，New Words
