With so many plants, animals, fungi (真菌), and other boxed(1) covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is up your leg or what kind of bird just flew by.A soon-to-be-launched Web site might help. An international team of scientists has boxed(3) the creation of a web-basedEncyclopedia (百科全书) of Life (EOL). The project aims to catalog every boxed(4) on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific boxed(5) that already exist. And eventually, inspecial sections of the site, people with boxed(6) knowledge will get to join in. Gardeners, for example, will be able toboxed(7) the dates that their flowers first bloom each year. Bird-watchers will be able to input which birds they've seen and where. Thetechnology for this kind of tool has only recently become boxed(8).As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems (生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is boxed(9), scientists will review much of the information added to it.People who visit the site will be able to choose to boxed(10) pages that haven't been reviewed.

8Why people do sportsMy name is Roy and I want to tell you why I play hockey.Sports play a very important role at my school. The entire town comes out to watch our football team on Friday nights.At first I put my name down to play sports as a way of making friends and doing what my friends do.All of my friends do sports. Although at the beginning I was just doing what everybody else was doing, I found that the positive side of taking part in a sport was the friendship it created. The people in my hockey team are now some of my best friends and our friendship has become even stronger by the fact that we won and lost together.Of course, going to the semi-finals in our state tournament was exciting but for me it is the friendship that keeps me playing. I think parents should realise that not every child who plays sports is out there to win every time. Maybe they just play to make a few new friends.I think that if you ask young players in my area why they do a particular sport they would say probably that not only does the chance of winning play a role in why they play sports, but there is also a larger, more social aspect to playing the game. And in this the trainer plays a very important role. Young players have stopped doing a sport just because the trainer was not a pleasant person.(1) (单选题)1. Who watches the school football team?A..

Wash every clay and you 11die young， my son! People often said those words； long ago， of course． Napoleon's wife had new clothes every month， instead of a bath． （"It's quicker， "she always said．） Rich people did not often have a bath． They washed their hands and faces， but not their bodies． Many poor people did not wash at all． A young man once said to a doctor， "Soap and water have never touched my body． "（And the doctor answered， "That' s true． I know…"）Why didn't people wash in those days long ago？Well， they did not have water in their houses． They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground． Towns people bought it from a water-carrier． Sometimes it was expensive； and soap was always expensive． They drank water， of course； and so they were clean inside． They did not think about the outside! And this is true； they just did not like a bath．Modem life is different． We use a lot of soap and water． And we are all quite clean． However， a few people use too much soap； and they often get ill． Who are these people？Many young women work as hairdressers． They wash and then "dress' other women 's hair． That is their job， and they like it． Young hairdressers sometimes wash dirty heads on a busy day!
