Before the 1980s, models were just beautiful people in magazine photographs. People knew very little about them. They didn't know how old they were, where they lived or what their favourite sports were. Most people didn't even know their names.
Then came the 1980s, the era（时代） of the supermodel. This was when some models became so famous that they became as well known as Hollywood film stars. Most people today have heard of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and the other supermodels. Stories about them appear in magazines. Journalists interview them. Television documentaries have been made about their lives. There are also hundreds of supermodel websites created by fans. On these websites, fans include information about the models' weight, shoe size and hair colour.
One of the reasons these models became so famous was the huge amounts of money they were paid. Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista once said, “I won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 (￡6500) a day.” Claudia Schiffer had a four-year contract （合同） with the cosmetics （化妆品） pany Revlon. The pany paid her ￡4,000,000 for just thirty days' work per year―that's more than ￡130,000 per day!
Supermodels don't make their money just from posing for the camera or walking down the catwalk. They have discovered many other areas where they can market themselves: films, television shows, exercise videos, calendars, and even the lingerie（女内衣） business. Elle Macpherson has her own underwear pany which makes millions of pounds a year.
Supermodels have many other things in mon, too. They travel all over the world to work. They own houses and flats in many different places.

The yo-yo is one of the oldest and most popular of all toys. The Greeks were playing with yo-yos around 500 BC. It was a popular children's toy in the Philippines during the 16th century, and it was the toy to own in Britain in the early 19th century. Even the Prince of Wales had one!
The first American yo-yo pany was started in 1928. The American yo-yos had a special feature. They could stop at the end of the string and spin（旋转） in one place before moving up again. This was called “sleeping”. It allowed the user to do tricks while the yo-yo was spinning. Soon yo-yo fans of all ages were doing tricks with names like “walk the dog”, “rock the baby” and “around the world”.
During the 1970s, yo-yo panies began making their yo-yos more interesting and exciting. Yo-yos lit up in the dark, they whistled, and they had funny shapes. In 1985, the yo-yo even went into space. It was taken on the space shuttle Discovery to see how it would perform in zero gravity（重力）. It would still spin, but without gravity to pull it down, it would not “sleep”.
Over the years, petitions and exhibitions have led more and more people to take ‘yo-yoing' seriously. In 1990, the first international yo-yo convention （大会） was held. In 1993, the American Yo-Yo Association was started. For serious yo-yo fans, there's even a National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California.
The best thing about yo-yos, though, is that you don't have to be a genius to figure them out. You just need to keep practising, and pretty soon you'll be spinning with the best of them.
56. Why is the yo-yo one of the oldest and most popular of all toys?
A. It was played around 500 BC.
B. Philippine children played with it during the 16th century.
C. The British have had it for over 200 years.
D. All of the above.
57. A special feature of the American yo-yos allows you to _________.
A. figure out how to use your yo-yo B. whistle with your yo-yo
C. go around the world with your yo-yo D. do tricks with your yo-yo
58. On the space shuttle Discovery, the yo-yo _________.
A. did not spin B. would spin but didn't “sleep”
C. could do lots of tricks D. could not be controlled at all
59. What has made more people interested in yo-yos?
A. The history of yo-yos. B. The special features of yo-yos.
C. More yo-yo petitions and exhibitions. D. The toys for the Royal family.
60. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. American yo-yos could stop and spin at the end of the string.
B. The American Yo-Yo Association began in 1928.
C. The National Yo-Yo Museum is in the UK.
D. Without practice people can figure out how to use a yo-yo.
D
When skateboarding started in the 1960s, skateboards were made of wood and had clay wheels. Since the wheels did not grip concrete(混凝土) 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 (垂直的) walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.
In most of these parks riders must wear helmets as well as knee and elbow pads. 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 aidents happen during the first week of riding so it is very important that riders be taught well.
61. 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.
62. The underlined word “grip” in the first paragraph means “________”.
A. move over a surface without slipping B. stick to
C. replace D. break down
63. Skateboard parks developed because ________.
A. parents decided it would be a good idea B. too many aidents happened on the streets.
C. many streets did not allow skateboarding D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding
64. 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.
65. The most important rule in a skateboard park might be “________”
A. Do not speed! B. Leave the park by 7 p.m.
C. Take care of your personal things! D. Wear safety equipment.
