     Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the
other's king, he says, in English,"check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere,
he says "check mate (將死)". These words come from Persian (波斯人). It means "the king is dead".
That is when the game is over, and one player has won.    
     Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now.
For example, at one time the queen could only move one square (方塊) at a time. Now she is the strongest
piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought,
but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be winner in order to enjoy it. It is not always
played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a
match played by radio. Some people are able to play many people at the same time. One man played 400
games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the
world.

    閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案．

    　　Dear Roni,

    　　Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

    　　The country near Florence is so beautiful－h(huán)ills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋頂) of the houses look so nice far away.

    　　I am afraid I am getting bigger－the food here is so delicious!

    Love,

    Akemi

    　　Roni Lebaver

    　　222 Main St. Languna

    　　Beach, CA 92651

    　　U. S. A.

    　　Hi Roni,

    　　I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

    　　I spend each morning on the beach(海灘) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

    　　One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

    　　How I miss you!

    Mari

    　　Roni Lebaver

    　　222 Main St. Languna

    　　Beach, CA 92651

    　　U. S. A.

    　　Dear Roni,

    　　Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

    　　Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

    　　I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

    　　And when we find something green－－a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

    　　See you in September,

    Kim

    　　Roni Lebaver

    　　222 Main St. Languna

    Wherever travelers go, cameras are sure to follow. It’s great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.

    There’s Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe’s great landmarks (顯著地面景觀) look like.

    But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist’s eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧師) bending over their Bibles. He captured (抓住) the color and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.

    Any amateur (外行) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity. When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

    1.What does the underlined word “slide” mean?

    A．故事

    B．幻燈片

    C．風(fēng)景

    D．路線

    2. People who watch Aunt Sarah’s slides would be _______.

    A．frightened

    A．landmarks

    B．a(chǎn)rchitectures

    C．people

    D．history

    4.David is _______.

    A．foolish

    B．the same as Aunt Sarah

    C．strange

    D．original (有創(chuàng)意的)

    5. A traveler can become an artist if he _______.

    A．takes a camera with him

    B．knows the history of a place

    C．is interested in not only the landmarks but also the people of a place
