         When skateboarding started in the 1960s, skateboards were made of wood and had clay wheels. Since
    the wheels did not grip concrete well, riders could do very few tricks with them. Soon people lost interest
    in the sport.
         In 1973, though, a new wheel was invented in California. It was made of a plastic called urethane (氨基
    甲酸酯). A skateboard with these wheels moved very quickly and it also gripped the concrete well. During
    the next few years skateboards were further improved. The urethane was perfected, and because the boards
    were shaped better, riders liked them better. These skateboards gave new life to skateboarding.
        The streets were not safe for skateboarding, although it was easy to ride on the streets. As a result,
    skateboard parks sprang up. The first parks appeared in California and Florida. At first there were only outdoor
    parks that had concrete slopes with small curves (曲线). Then more exciting parks appeared which had steep
    downward slopes, banked curves, and vertical walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.
         In most of these parks riders must wear helmets (头盔) as well as knee and elbow pads (护肘). This gear
    can prevent a fall from causing serious injury.
         Whenever they ride, people should always use this safety equipment, and they should learn how to fall
    safely. Many accidents happen during the first week of riding, so it is very important that riders be taught well.
    1. Why were the new skateboards more popular?
    [     ]
    A. They were safer than the older ones.
    B. The older models were expensive.
    C. They were stronger than the older ones.
    D. People could do more tricks with them.
    2. The underlined word "grip" in the first paragraph means "_____".
    [     ]
    A. move over a surface without slipping
    B. stick to
    C. replace
    D. break down
    3. Skateboard parks developed because _____.
    [     ]
    A. parents decided it would be a good idea
    B. too many accidents happened on the streets
    C. many streets did not allow skateboarding
    D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding
    4. Which of the following statements about skateboard parks is TRUE?
    [     ]
    A. The first parks appeared in Scotland and Florida.
    B. The earlier parks had steep slopes.
    C. In the parks people don't have to wear helmets.
    D. At first there weren't any indoor parks.

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
