Hopping Around the World

  Hopscotch(跳房子)is a very old game.It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern(picture)that players hop(跳躍)through.Here are some different ways to play hopscotch.

  Escargot

  Escargot is the French word for “snail.” So its pattern looks like a snail.No puck is used.Players hop through on one foot.You may rest in the center on both feet.Then, hop back and write your name in a space.No other player may land in that space.At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins.

  Pele

  Children play Pele on the island of Aruba with a stone or coin.Throw the puck into the first box and hop into Box 2.Then, hop up to the top and turn around.Come back to Box 2 and pick up the puck.Hop over Box 1 and out of the pattern.Next, throw the puck into Box 2 and start again.If you make a mistake, you lose your turn.The first player to hop through the pattern wins.

  Gat Fei Gei

  In this Chinese way, the puck is a piece of stone.At the top is the pig's head.Throw the puck into the pig's head and hop through.When you reach boxes 7 and 8, turn around and pick up the puck from behind.If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it.No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins.

  La Thunkuna

  Children play this game in Bolivia.The puck is a stone or the skin from an orange.Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week.Throw the puck into the first box.Hop over it into the second box.Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern.Then, hop out.On your next turn, throw the puck into the next box and so on.The first player to hop all the way through wins.

    閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

On the snowy Tibet plateau, traditional elements have been mingled with modern life -- youths dressed in the latest fashion dancing "Guozhuang," office-ladies playing conventional Tibetan music while driving to work and Tibetan girls wearing superb folk costume displaying their nice figures.

"I used to go shopping or bar-hopping with my friends after work. But now I don't think it is advisable to continue following that living style," said Pasang, a young Tibetan girl who practices Yoga everyday at a fitness club in the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city.

Today, the conception to live in a healthy way has become more popular in Tibet's general public.

When the night falls, crowds of aged citizens dancing "Guozhuang," a traditional Tibetan group dance, to vigorous folk music can be seen in many residential communities. Among them, Pasang's mother Tseden Wangmo, 63, is undoubtedly one of the enthusiasts in such an outdoor team activity: "I like dancing Guozhuang very much, for it can make my body strong, bring me good mood and carry forward Tibetan ethnic culture as well."

Different from their elder generations, a swarm of teenagers play skateboard or roller-skating shuttle among groups of strollers on the squares in front of the Potala Palace and Norbulingka, the Dalai Lama's permanent residence.

The stylish dress, colored hairs, an earring on a single ear or an obscure tattoo -- all these signals have highlighted Tibet's younger generation's personality and their view on fashion.

Lhakpa Tashi, 16, will become a high-school student in the second half year. This adolescent is a typical fan at various kinds of modern novelties, such as surfing the net, online shopping and foreign Rap music.

Which activity is not mentioned in the passage?.

A. shopping                            B. dancing “Guozhuang”

C. playing skateboard                    D. singing

Which of the following phrase has the same meaning as the underlined phrase “mingled with”?

  A. along with      B. mixed with    C. together with   D. connected with

After reading the whole passage, do you think which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. Young people in Tibet like going shopping or bar-hopping after work  

B. Aged citizens like dancing “Guozhuang” to folk music at night in Tibet

C. Teenagers are keen on playing skateboard and roller-skating shuttle in Tibet 

D. Young people in Tibet are interested in the factional dress

What is the main idea of the passage?

A successful combination of traditional and modern Tibet

B. People in Tibet today are trying to break away from the tradition

C. Young people in Tibet today are trying to break away from the tradition

D. Young people in Tibet today are having a more colorful life than the old

According to your understanding, what is the author’s attitude towards the changes in Tibet?
