一．
Just over a hundred years ago, there was a young Canadian physical director who was working in a training school for athletes in the United States.
One day the Canadian instructor was asked to design a team sport that would provide good exercise and be fun to play. He decided on a ball game. The game had to be flexible (灵活的) and avoid rough play. There was to be no bodily contact between players and running with the ball was prohibited.
The rules were simple and players didn't need much equipment to play. Peach baskets were originally nailed to a wooden balcony surrounding the gymnasium (体操房). They were placed above the head and the ball had to be skillfully thrown into the basket in order to score. That gave the game its name: basketball. Speed and finesse were the main requirements, not strength. It was an ideal indoor team sport.
The game was first played in the United States but was introduced to Canada soon after. Canada's most famous team held the World Championship for sixteen years during the 1920s and 1930s. This team also competed in four Olympic demonstration matches (表演赛) winning twenty-seven consecutive (连续的) games, but they received no medals. Why not? Because they were women, and women's basketball wasn't an official Olympic sport until 1976.

The heart is made up almost entirely of muscle. It is a large, tough organ, about the size of a clenched fist (握紧的拳头). It is positioned on the centre line of the body, about halfway down the chest, just beneath the breastbone.
The heart is basically a pump, which forces blood through a network of tubes (软管子), or blood vessels (血管), throughout the whole body. Each of the billions of living cells that make up the body needs oxygen and food in order to live, and these are supplied by the blood. The circulation of the blood consists of two parts. First the blood is pumped from the heart, around the body, and is returned to the heart. At this stage, oxygen has been used up, and waste materials like carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) have entered the bloodstream. But, instead of being pumped back around the body, the blood is now pumped to the lungs, where oxygen is replaced and carbon dioxide is removed. Then the blood is pumped back to the heart and around the body to begin the cycle again.
A heart that works well can operate for sixty to a hundred years or more. The heart is made up of four distinct chambers (室). The entire four-chambered pump is surrounded by a protective layer called the pericardium (心包), which contains a lubricating (润滑) liquid.
The four chambers of the heart consist of two upper chambers and two lower chambers. The upper chambers are thin-walled and they receive blood returning to the heart from the large veins (静脉) of the body. The lower chambers of the heart are much larger and very much more muscular. The left and right sides of the heart are divided by a tough wall called the septum (中隔). This thick wall separates the blood which is to be pumped to the lungs from the blood which will go to the rest of the body. Blood is kept moving in the proper direction by a series of valves forced open by the pressure of blood and then shut to stop it flowing back.

Shanghai, literally the "City on the Sea", has in the 1990s become the center of China's economic development. Lying on the Yangzi River delta (三角洲), it marks the point where Asia's longest and most important river completes its 5,500km journey to the Pacific. Until 1842, Shanghai's location made it merely a small fishing village. After the First Opium War, the British named Shanghai a treaty (缔约) port, forcing the city's opening to foreign involvement.
The village was soon turned into a city and in its best time, it was known for the best culture and arts in Asia, the greatest architecture, the strongest business. Today Shanghai has once again become one of China's most open cities. It now hosts the nation's stock market, accounts for one-sixth of the country's GNP, and houses the most important industrial base in the nation. Shanghai's open policy has also made the city the new hot attraction for foreign investors. As millions of dollars pour in, especially to Pudong, Shanghai has again become home to tens of thousands of foreigners. Foreign influence has made today's Shanghai a Chinese consumer's heaven. With higher salaries, more goods, and more and more means for entertainment, it's not surprising, then, that the Shanghainese enjoy one of the highest living standards in China.

Shortly before the end of World War II, leaders of many nations, including the United States, decided to form an international organization. It was hoped that nations could discuss their disagreements in this organization instead of fighting over them.
On April 25, 1945, some 200 representatives from many nations came to San Francisco, California, to make the rules that would govern this organization. After months of hard work, arguments, and compromises (妥协), the United Nations was established.
The essential functions of the U.N. are to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to cooperate internationally in solving international economic, social, culture and human problems, to promote respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to be center for coordinating (协调) the actions of nations in attaining these common ends. No country takes precedence (优先) over another in the U.N. Each member's rights and obligations are the same. All must contribute to the peaceful settlement of international dispute, and members have pledged (发誓) to refrain from the threat or use of force against other states. Though the U.N. has no right to intervene in any state's internal affairs, it tries to ensure that non-member states act according to its principles of international peace and security. U.N. members must offer every assistance in an approved U.N. action and in no way assist states against which the U.N. is taking preventive or enforcement action.
