A fresh and gentle wind on your face,soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see.Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?
   "I've gone to a lot of beautiful places,and met a lot of beautiful people.That wouldn't have happened if I had been playing another sport," said Randy Stoklos,America's most famous beach volleyball player.
   The sport began as a four-a-side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s.The first recorded two-man game took place there in 1930,and the first tournament was held in Los Angeles 18 years later.The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi.In the 1950s,women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America.Yet at that time,beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport,with beauty contests included.The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast,athletic sport.Its world-wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atalanta,where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part.At present,the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
   The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994.It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997.China's You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women's beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

  • 1.Obviously,most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour?Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight?
       According to the Ohio State University Extension,which summarised the findings,the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts,lunches,and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus,they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
       One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television,particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things,including simply watching a lot of television,tended to have a higher body mass index (BMI),as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
       Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars,while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study,eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer,eating food provided by colleagues at work,and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
       Finally,the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate,who planned meals,and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight,ate less fat and fewer sugars,ate more fruit and vegetables,and engaged in more physical activities.

       Carabao is a buffalo(水牛) found in the Philippines,and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and revelry(狂歡) in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in the Filipino farming economy.The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20 or more of them-many decorated with paint and colourful ribbons-walked through the streets.
       Cooper's Hill is a steep,grassy knoll(圓丘) near Gloucester,England,which is longer than a football field.The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound cheese to the bottom of the hill.The event attracts lots of contestants but is harder than it sounds.Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line.The winner gets the cheese.
       The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul,Korea.Tons of mud are trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event.People participate in lots of activities,including a mud pool,mud skiing and mudslides.By the time the celebration is over,anyone coated in soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.
       La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol,Spain,every August.The festival's origins are unclear,but that hasn't lessened anyone's enthusiasm.The battle lasts for about an hour,and participants have to throw squashed(擠爛的) tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury.After the fight,both the people and the streets are covered with tomatoes.Fire trucks then begin the difficult task of washing everything.

  • 3.Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland,California,makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven.Many of them are sweet.For example,the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame (芝麻) seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
       The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said: "We get a lot of comments,for example,'The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.' ''Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up." She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries (糕點).
       Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
       "Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression," said Robert Ku,who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy:The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
       "The bakers are showing that their foods,which mix cultures,are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored," Ku said. "They're instead really trying to fuse things together."

    (1)What does Lau think of her work?

    A.Tiring.
    B.Demanding.
    C.Confusing.
    D.Rewarding.
    (2)What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do?

    A.Create a new way of showing their identities.
    B.Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries.
    C.Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavor.
    D.Introduce young Asian Americans to new culture.
    (3)What does the underlined word "fuse" in the last paragraph mean?

    A.Combine.
    B.Improve.
    C.Invent.
    D.Consume.
    (4)What is the suitable title for the text?

    A.Asian American Cookies Become American's Favorite Food.
    B.Varieties of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks.
