One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World War II when the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe. Children’s baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year.
At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues, ten of them as an All-Star player. But, by and large, youngsters play baseball for fun and because their parents are proud of them.
小题1:The mothers and fathers of Little League players ______.
A.help run the games | B.travel in coaches |
C.give the teams money | D.play in the World Series |
A.1839 | B.1939 | C.1955 | D.1960 |

举一反三
YOU"VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE"S GOT ANSWERS
Q: My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can"t control of this, and I don"t know where to go for help. Do you? —Player
A: Dear Player,
You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You"d toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professional. And don"t look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.
Q: My brother"s wife just had triplets(三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ask anyone anything? —No Show Host
A: Dear Host,
Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don"t blame it all on the talk-shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody"s business but their own.
Q: I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we"ve seen her load up her van at the back gates. The big bosses think she is the best thing since buttered bread, and we"re all afraid that if we say anything, we"ll lose our jobs. What can we do? —Righteous
A: Dear Righteous,
Be sure you"re right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it"s time to go to the bosses and report what you have seen.
Q: My stepson"s wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for "a short run to the store." That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it. What do you think?
—The In-laws
A: Dear Laws,
I don"t know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren"t always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.
小题1:Which of the following statements is true?
A.Dopamine is a powerful brain chemical good to our health. |
B.Looking for help on line is like getting help from a health professional. |
C.Player is a video game addict who smokes and sleeps few hours. |
D.Player is advised to stay clear of the screen. |
A.Host"s colleagues are insensitive |
B.The talk-show is to blame |
C.Somebody"s business is everybody"s |
D.Host"s sister-in-law was on fertility pills |
A.The Mom is not to blame because she needs a short run to the store |
B.Children need care and attention, though not for all of them |
C.Laws, the old lady, wants to report what she sees to the child"s father |
D.Laskas doesn"t seem to approve of Laws" trying to report what she sees |
A.The first | B.The second. | C.The third. | D.None. |
What’s in the name?
Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesn’t go”. Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.
Translation problems
Sometimes it is the slogan that doesn’t work. No company knows this better than Pepsi-Cola, with its “Come alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States , Pepsi translated its slogan literally for its international campaign. As it turned out , the translations weren’t quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to “Come out of the grave(坟墓)” and telling the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors(老祖宗) back from the grave.”
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Other times, the problem involves packaging . A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for many people there can’t read.
Twist of fate
Even the culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn McAn shoes have a Thorn McAn “signature” inside. To people in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim country, this signature looked like Arabic script for the word Allah. In that country, feet are considered unclean, and Muslims felt the company was offending God’s name by having people walk on it.
小题1:From the text we learned that _________.
A.Chevy Nova was brought in Latin America |
B.General Motors did the best market research of all companies |
C.Pepsi still sold well in China owing to the translation problems |
D.the “Come alive with Pepsi” campaign worked well in the US |
A.A translation problem | B.Cultural factor |
C.Religious factor | D.The picture on the jar |
A.They are not designed attractively |
B.Their advertisements are not persuasive |
C.A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes |
D.Problem for Thorn McAn was the company’s name |
A.Lessons from some large corporations. |
B.How to make use of advertisements |
C.The importance of market research |
D.The importance of packaging |
What kinds of homes will we live the future? Nobody can be sure, architects, and scientists are new ideas now.
Some architects are thinking about whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes. , there will never be any rain snow, and the temperature will be always .
Perhaps everyone will live in vertical(立体的) . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be for small countries that have populations.
Another idea that will be helpful to countries (and island countries) is
the city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.
There are some people who think we will go back to living in . But the caves of the future will be quite the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in will take them there.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running towards him. They knocked all his books out of his arms and tripped(绊倒) him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the glass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should go to hell." He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real thankfulness. I asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. I am here to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn"t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp(倒吸气) go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
