At the end f the nineteenth century, an Englishman living in Brazil sent his sn Charles Miller acrss the Atlantic t be educated in England. During his stay in England, Charles grew passinately keen n ftball and ften sharpened his skills in the playgrund. In 1894, he packed his bags and returned t his family in Brazil. In his bags, he tk a ftball as a suvenir.
Back in Brazil, Charles was willing t cnsider and accept ther peple’s pinins. When he talked t lcal peple abut their leisure activities, it suddenly hit him that he culd try t get them interested in ftball. At first he had little success; the nly peple wh shwed any interest were yung Englishmen wh walked n the street; thus the first game f ftball in Brazil was played between tw teams f yung Englishmen, n a field frm which the gats and cws had been remved.
Charles asked sme jurnalists t cme and see this new English game, but nne came alng. Hwever, as the weeks went past, the scene f twenty-tw yung peple running arund after a ball began attracting viewers frm schls nearby. Then, yung lcal men began kicking balls arund t.
“Balls” is perhaps the wrng wrd — the nly ftball in Brazil at the time was the ne that Charles Miller had brught back with him frm England. The Brazilian viewers had t create their wn ftballs, using cans r whatever they culd find t make them with. After a shrt perid f time, these lcal viewers culd defeat the freign players easily withut prper training. They were gifted in playing the game because they culd mve mre quickly and easily with the ball.
Then, the ftball game became a great attractin in Sa Paul. By 1901, there was already a league f clubs in Sa Paul.

Peple need t vte t decide wh will be their president. But humans aren’t the nly creatures n Earth wh vte. Other animals, frm hneybees t babns (狒狒), make grup decisins. They just d it differently, and fr different reasns. Instead f vting fr a president, animals vte n where t live r when t hunt. Meerkats (猫鼬), like humans, negtiate decisins. They are prudent, trying very hard t avid ding anything wrng. When searching fr fd, the animals get tgether fr prtectin frm hunters. But when a meerkat wants t accelerate the search, the animal will make a “mve call”. If three r mre meerkats make this call, the grup will mve faster.
African wild dgs als vte in grups. Scientists have fund that after scializing, the animals wuld decide whether t hunt. Hw d the dgs vte in supprt f hunting? They sneeze! Whether the dgs will actually g n a hunt is decided by the number f sneezes. The mre the dgs sneeze, the mre likely it is that they will lk fr a meal. Hwever, the alpha dg, the dminant dg f the pack, likes ther dgs t fllw its wn decisin even when thers dn’t vte, because it believes it can have better chances f getting big game. Hwever, after the hunt, ther dgs in the grup have t wait fr the alpha dg t finish its meal while they are starving t death. Smetimes, the alpha dg may leave nthing fr the rest f the dgs.
Humans make decisins t. If yu have a grup f peple, and ne persn says, “Let’s have pizza,” and n ne agrees, then nthing is ging t happen. But nce yur grandfather says “That’s an excellent idea”, the whle grup will prbably g ut fr pizzas. Humans tend t fllw the decisins made by the senirs because they want t shw respect fr them.
Just like humans, animals dn’t always agree with ne anther. But jining in grup decisins helps make sure f their survival. It is extremely interesting t see hw animals reach an agreement and stick tgether.

Academic demands are a key surce f stress fr cllege students. Unlike in high schl, students in cllege are expected t manage their wrklad withut much guidance frm teachers, and it’s easy t feel lst in a class with several hundred peers. Our research suggests that, n average, stress ges up as academic demands g up, peaking ahead f final exams and then falling again.
It can be cmfrting t knw that academic stress is a shared experience. It may als help t knw that temprary increases in stress can benefit students under sme circumstances. Our lnger-term research acrss fur years fund that students earned higher grades in semesters when they experienced but f (一阵) negative mds. A rise in negative mds ne semester may reflect that extra effrt was needed t meet academic challenges. The imprtant reminder here is that we nly bserved this effect fr students wh were typically happy verall, shwing the imprtance f maintaining gd emtinal balance.
Sme students can’t adapt themselves t the life withut supprt and care frm their families. Fr example, internatinal students wh live further away frm their families may feel hmesick strnger. Maintaining friendships and balancing scial demands with academics is anther key surce f stress fr cllege students. In cllege, the relatinship between students and teachers can be ttally different frm in high schls. It is hard fr sme students t be invlved in cllege class.
What distinguished the students wh reprted less stressed and mre satisfactin acrss the year, including during their jb search, was their utlk. Despite plans nt wrking ut exactly as hped, recent graduates with greater well-being were able t increase effrt and keep mving frward thrugh challenges. These graduates were als mving frward with a sense f purpse, r a general sense that they were n a meaningful path, and ptimism abut the path they were n, expecting gd things t happen in the future.
Additinally, their expectatins abut hw and when their gals wuld be achieved were flexible, and they were pen t new r unexpected pprtunities. Finally, recent graduates with greater well-being als had mre supprtive scial netwrks that they culd rely n fr advice, cmfrt, and help alng the way.
9. What can we learn abut academic stress?
A. Tp cllege students seldm have academic stress.
B. Students are mst anxius at the start f a semester.
C An increase in negative mds can make students study harder.
D. Students shuld decrease wrklad t maintain emtinal balance.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly abut?
A. The emtinal stress f cllege students.
B. The difficulty in making friends in cllege.
C. The imprtance f having gd teachers in cllege.
D. The reasns why internatinal students are mre stressed.
11. What can students wh have mre satisfactin d?

B. They can create pprtunities in time.
C. They can give peple practical suggestins.

“Will yu cme with us, Susan?” cried several little girls t a schlmate. “We are ging t the wds; d cme, t.”
“I shuld like t g with yu very much,” replied Susan, with a sigh, “but I cannt finish the task grandmther set me t d.”
“Hw tiresme it must be t stay at hme t wrk n a hliday!” said Rse, ne f the girls, shaking her head. “Susan’s grandmther is t strict.”
Susan heard this remark, and, as she bent her head ver her task, she wiped away a tear, and thught f the pleasant afternn the girls wuld spend gathering wild flwers in the wds.
Sn she said t herself, “What harm can there be in mving the mark grandmther put in the stcking? The wds must be very beautiful tday, and hw I shuld like t be in them! ”
“Grandmther,” said she, a few minutes afterwards, “I am ready, nw.” “What, s sn, Susan?” Her grandmther tk the wrk, and lked at it very clsely.
“True, Susan,” said she, laying great stress n each wrd. “True, I cunt twenty turns frm the mark, and, as yu have never cheated me, yu may g and amuse yurself as yu like the rest f the day.”
Susan’s cheeks were red, and she did nt say, “Thank yu.” As she left the cttage, she walked slwly away, nt singing as usual.
“Why, here is Susan!” the girls cried, when she jined their cmpany. “But what is the matter? Why have yu left yur dear, ld grandmther? ” they asked.
“There is nthing the matter.” As Susan repeated the wrds, she felt that she was trying t deceive herself. She had acted a lie. At the same time, she remembered her grandmther’s wrds, “Yu have never deceived me.”
“Yes, I have deceived her,” she said t herself. “If she knew all, she wuld never trust me again.”
