When skateboarding started in the 1960s, skateboards were made of wood and had clay wheels. Since the wheels did not grip concrete(混凝土) well, riders could do very few tricks with them. Soon people lost interest in the sport.

In 1973, though, a new wheel was invented in California. It was made of a plastic called urethane (氨基甲酸酯). A skateboard with these wheels moved very quickly and it also gripped the concrete well.

During the next few years skateboards were further improved. The urethane was perfected, and because the boards were shaped better, riders liked them better. These skateboards gave new life to skateboarding.

"

The streets were not safe for skateboarding, although it was easy to ride on the streets. As a result, skateboard parks sprang up. The first parks appeared in California and Florida. At first there were only outdoor parks that had concrete slopes with small curves (曲线). Then more exciting parks appeared which had steep downward slopes, banked curves, and vertical (垂直的) walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.

In most of these parks riders must wear helmets as well as knee and elbow pads. This gear can prevent a fall from causing serious injury.

Whenever they ride, people should always use this safety equipment, and they should learn how to fall safely. Many accidents happen during the first week of riding so it is very important that riders be taught well.

46. Why were the new skateboards more popular

A. They were safer than the older ones.

B. The older models were expensive.

C. They were stronger than the older ones.

D. People could do more tricks with them.

#

47. The underlined word “grip” in the first paragraph means “________”.

A. move over a surface without slipping

B. stick to

C. replace

D. break down

48. Skateboard parks developed because ________.

A. parents decided it would be a good idea

B. too many accidents happened on the streets

C. many streets did not allow skateboarding

D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding

，

49. Which of the following statements about skateboard parks is TRUE

A. The first parks appeared in Scotland and Florida.

B. The earlier parks had steep slopes.

C. In the parks people don't have to wear helmets.

D. At first there weren't any indoor parks.

50. The most important rule in a skateboard park might be “________”

A. Do not speed!

B. Leave the park by 7 .

C. Take care of your personal things!

D. Wear safety equipment.

In the United States, it is important to be on time, for a date, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this is not true in all countries. An

American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class

from 10 a.m. to 12 . at a Brazilian university. On the first day, when the

professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students

came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came

after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologised for their lateness. Were these students being rude He decided to study the students' behaviour.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation such as lunch with a friend and in a university class. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch date with a friend, the average American student set lateness as 20 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.

In an American university, classes not only begin on time, but also end on time. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the stated time. And only a few students left the class at noon; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

The explanation for these differences is complex. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. (64) In Brazil, the students

believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. (65) In fact, Brazilians expect a person with a high social position to arrive late, while in the United States lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable. As a result, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misunderstand and become angry.

As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. They were simply behaving in the normal way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. So, he was able to adapt and felt comfortable in the new culture.

62. How did the professor conduct his study (Please answer within 10 words.)
