for the government to make the decision. Then in 1911, the government chose a place to build the new
capital. It was between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities. In 1927, the city was set up. It became
the capital and was named Canberra. "Canberra" means "a place for friends to get together."

About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the
word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.
Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called
professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best one can
earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than ＄3000 a year. The starts earn a lot
more. International golf and tennis champions (网球锦标赛) can make more than ＄50000 in a year. Of
course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals
(个人的) like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money
is that: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment
(设备) does not simply say "Buy our thing". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as …". Famous sportsmen
can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photo of
them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people"s spare time.
( )2. The word "sport" now usually means "organized" games.
( )3. An advertisement for sports equipment just says "Buy our thing".
( )4. The sport stars can earn as much money from advertising as from sport.
( )5. This passage mainly talks about sport and money.
is a tree or a bush (灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills.
A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes.
The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.
In June of the plant"s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it"s time to shape
(给……造型) the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the
fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.
Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its
shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In the winter the bushes don"t grow. The gardeners have to brush
snow of the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.
Topiary gardening is very old art. The Romans did it in the first Century. In the sixteenth century, people in
Europe like topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it"s popular in many
parts of the world.

celebrated (庆祝) a day to honour (向……表示敬意) Isis, the mother of the pharaohs. The early Christians
(基督教徒) celebrated a day to honour Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Later, English Christians celebrated to honour all mothers. This English holiday was called "Mothering
Sunday".When the English came to America, they did not have time for Mothering Sunday, so the holiday
was not celebrated in America. In 1914, the U.S passed a law which designated (规定) the second Sunday
in May as Mother"s Day to honour the mothers who had lost sons in war.
Today, Mother"s Day is celebrated in many other countries for all mothers. In Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, Mother"s Day is celebrated on the same day as in the United States-the second Sunday in May.
Children give their mothers cards, gifts, and flowers. Schools plan Mother"s Day"s special activities.
In China, the holiday is celebrated to show the respect (尊重) the Chinese have for the old people, and
the love they have for their parents. Ten top mothers are chosen by the government. People all over the
country try different ways to help mothers who are poor.
