In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was
a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill
his time, he planned a game which he called “Lexico”. However, he was not completely
satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed
its name from “Lexico” to “Alph” and then to “Criss Cross. He wanted to make
some money from his new game but he didn’t have any real commercial(商业性的)
success.
In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in
the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was
offered for sale in the United States under its new name “Scrabble”.
At first, it didn’t sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and
by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy’
s department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while
he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work
B. add up
D. study
B. 1987
D. 1997
B. In 1948.
D. Between 1939 and 1948.
B. three men
D. Alfred Butts
after his holiday, he insisted that Macy’s should stock(储备) the game and make
an effort(努力) to call the public’s attention to it.
As a result, “scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread
to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves
around her office at work and goes shopping with her. “Most people don’t seem to
mind Allan,” says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. “He’s my fourth child,”
she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, rson, a 54-year-old secretary.
He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact
Allan is a dog.
Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an
orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides(提
供) a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren’t surprised to find that owning
a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor
in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government
on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However,
most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life
insurance(保险) for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(损坏) their dog does. A Swedish Kennel
Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets
hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car,
even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
59. Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because ______.

done to the car?
A. The owner of the car.
B. The owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company(公司).
D. The government.
62. From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ______.
A. dogs are welcome in public places
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the
United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65.
The aging of the population will affect( 影 响 ) American society in many
ways
education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made
us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what
kind of behavior(行为) is suitable(合适) at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage
or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes
to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time
and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as
it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president
or a 35—year—old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for
the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age. No
one says “Act your age anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people
who act in youthful ways.
67. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.
