Underwater Ice Hockey（曲棍球）is a new sport that began in Austria and is increasingly popular among free divers.

Not to be confused with underwater hockey,which is played in indoor swimming pools,underwater ice hockey is practiced in a 6 meters wide by 8 meters long place under the icy surface of a frozen lake.After cutting a square hole in the thick ice,players wearing wetsuits,which are worn in cold water,try to move a puck（冰球）into their competitor's goal.Think of it as an upside-down game of hockey.

Underwater ice hockey players need to have excellent breath-holding abilities,considering they are not allowed to play with any kind of breathing equipment.Considering matches can get pretty physical,players need to surface about every 30 seconds for a breath of fresh air.Divers can easily get lost during a game.In case one of them is too tired to reach the hole,or can't find it,four divers equipped with oxygen tanks watch every match.Underwater ice hockey periods last 10 minutes,and players are allowed 10-minute breaks to warm up.

The world's first ever Underwater Ice Hokey World Cup was held in Weissensee,Austria and was won by a team from Finland.Because of the special conditions it's played in,fans present at the scene have to watch the underwater action on monitors.

When people wanted to find their way to a place in the past,they used to have to buy a map.But they don't have to do that any more.Now they can either buy a GPS,or go online and find maps for just about anywhere.

Is this an improvement?Perhaps,but some people think some of the online companies are going too far,because they have been sending out cars with photographic equipment on their roofs,to photograph every street and house in the country.

One of these cars arrived on a Wednesday morning in the quiet English village of Broughton.The camera was on a meter-high stick an top of the car and could see over walls and into people's gardens.Some of the villagers came and stood around the car,and then asked the driver and photographer to go away.Reporters quickly arrived on the scene,and soon the event was news all over the country.

Of course,the online company in question says that it is simply collecting information that people on the Internet want.But the villagers feel differently."We used to have privacy in this country—now companies just come and take photographs of our home without even asking,"said one villager."It' not right.We mustn't let this happen.We mustn't lose our right to live privately."

There is,of course,no law to prevent people from taking photographs of houses,so the villagers cannot go to court.But many people are asking the question:"OK,it's legal,lout is rt right?"

C. It's Legal—But is It Right? D. The Development of the Internet

10-year-old Mikaila Ulmer from Texas is building a lemonade empire,hoping to save honey bees in the process.

It all started when Mikaila was 4 years old and was stung（刺痛）by a bee twice in one week.This caused her to become very scared whenever bees were near.

To help her deal with this new fear,Mikaila's parents asked her to do some research on bees.She learned that bees are incredibly important for flowers,gardens and trees as pollinators（傳粉者）.She also learned that they are dying fast.In the past year,honey bee farmers have reported losing nearly 12% of their colony.Many believe that this could be due to the overuse of pesticide（殺蟲劑）,which can have many bad effects upon bees.

This is when she decided to create a product to help save bees.She planned to sell lemonade and started her own company,BeeSweet Lemonade.Her special lemonade recipe came from her great-grandmother's cookbook.She decided to add honey to it,instead of sugar,to call attention to the problems honey bees face.Mikaila sells lemonade almost everyday at her lemonade stand.She takes every opportunity to tell her customers about the issues facing honey bees.

Mikaila and her cause have also been featured in many news reports,magazines,blogs and even on Shark Tank,a TV show featuring hopeful entrepreneurs.

Does Mikaila have time to just be a kid?Sure!Her parents have said that every weekend,Mikaila does something fun.She doesn't mind the hard work,though.She says that she is happy watching people enjoy her lemonade,and that makes her want to grow her company more and more.The more people enjoy,the more they're learning about the bees.

Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself flying with the eagles.My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago that passion rocketed to new heights when I visited Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger,and best of all,I flew!

My group took part in activities from learning about the history of aviation（航空）to flying in pilot training simulators（模擬器）.At least once a day,I was lost in one of the world's best training aircraft,the Cessna 182.I received thorough ground instruction,and also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours toward receiving my private pilot's license.In that joyous week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride,thinking I've done that.

During my time above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation,tout also about myself and how I see the world.Floating in that seemingly endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and the complexity of the humanity below.On the ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and ambitions.I wondered if any of them had ever wished to fly like an eagle.I realized they must have their own strong desire.That's what makes us unique.We always try to respond to something special inside us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy,and you will be happy."It sounds like standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about what benefits I receive.I know I am already in hot pursuit of my dreams.Even if they change,and even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly with the eagles.

D. He will still run after his dream whatever the situation.

4.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?

Today my daughter and I went to sell eggs at a parking lot.It is a really cold day.I didn't even want to go outside. As we pulled into parking lot,we saw a man sat on the side of the road.He was holding a paper plate which said "I need help!".

He was still sitting there as we left for the parking lot,and I asked my daughter "Should they get him some food and some money?"and she said "OK.".So I pulled up next to him,got out of the car,but gave him all my egg money.I still had another dozen egg in the car,and asked if he wanted them,but he said no.I felt freezing just standing there talking with him for a minute,and he must have been sitting there since hours.

I'm glad we stopped,got out of the car and talked with him for a minute.I hope he will have a warm and comfort place to sleep tonight.
