All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.

Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many people love to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.

Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese Wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

As many as 10 or the 17 kinds of penguins may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins has decreased by 30% since 1987.

Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins can not fly, but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill.

The warming of the earth is the cause of the decrease in penguin population. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce. Besides, many adult penguins die of hunger.

Widespread fishing, exploration for oil and oil leaks also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms in ocean water are nother danger. Penguins also have their enemies, including wild dogs, sharks, seals and sea lions.

News about penguins is not all bad. However, several years ago, oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the penguins well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking. ( ) 46. Penguins ______.

A. live only in cold waters B. eat fish only

C. can be found near Oceania D. can swim better than fly

( ) 47. Which of the following is not the cause of penguin’s decrease in numbers? A. Warming of the oceans. B. Human’s killing. C. Widespread fishing. D. Oil searching.

( ) 48. Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than

before the oil leaking?

A. Because people treated the penguins well. B. Because people helped the penguins.

C. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild. D. Because people removed the ship.

( ) 49. Which sentence is true according to the passage? A. No news about penguins is bad.

B. the warming of the earth is the cause of the decrease in penguin
