　　Sundays in New York can be very pleasant. Since Saturday nights are
traditionally party nights, Sunday mornings are traditionally mornings of rest,
which means having a long sleep. We stay in bed until 9, 10 or even 11 o’clock
is not unusual, then jump out of bed, put on clothes, run to the nearest corner
news agency, buy the New York Times or Daily News, return home, put some
lassical music or popular songs on the record player, climb right back into bed
to read the paper. If the weather is bad, you might immediately turn to the
Entertainment part of the paper to see what movies are on. Sunday afternoons are
a popular time for seeing a film, but movies are expensive in New York, so
choosing takes time and care. Read the movie reviews to discover what the
critics (评论家) think. No one wants to make an expensive mistake. But if the
weather is good, you might go through the part which lists outdoor activities.
Almost every Sunday there are “street fairs (集市)”. There will be food for sale
made by local people or restaurants; hand-made things for sale; music offered by
a local band; and perhaps dancing. If the fair is in Little Italy, you can
expect (期待) to find tasty Italian food. And if the day is really warm, a walk
through Central Park can offer many sights, sounds and smells. Groups of people
go around the park, enjoy different activities and are often looking for others
to join in. There will be pick-up baseball games; singing under the trees;
dancing near a famous monument; boating on the lake. If you are a student and
live at home, you have probably spent your day in this way, putting off (推迟)
your study until the sun goes down. If you are a student living away from home,
it’s also likely that you’ve done the same because generally most New Yorkers
save Sundays for playing. Call too early and you’ll wake us up; call too late
and you’ll find us out.

　　三、阅读与表达专项训练

　　Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the
air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep
all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If
you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health,
friends and spirit, are made of glasses. If you drop one of these, they will be
broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have
balance in your life. How? Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself
with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Don’t let
other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don’t
give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the
moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid to fight difficulties. It is by taking
chances that we learn how to be brave. Don’t shut love out of your life by
saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the
fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is
to give it wings.

　　Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been,
but also where you are going.

　　Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. It’s a treasure (珍宝) you
can always carry easily. Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them
back. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step. Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift: that’s why we call it “the
present”.

　　The Mayan(玛雅的)Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the
Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Mayan achievements were many. They had farms,
beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot
about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a
better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make
their lives more comfortable and rewarding(值得的). Knowledge about tools and
farming, for example, made their work easier and more productive.

　　The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn
gods. The people built large temples to honor the Mayan gods. Skillful workers
built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to build these
cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stone they used to build
with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many
of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.

　　Although the cities that the Maya built were beautiful, and the people
worked hard to build them, very few of the people lived in them. Usually, only
the priests(牧师)lived in the cities.

　　The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were
much simpler than the elaborate buildings in the cities. They lived in small
huts(小屋)with no windows. The walls were made of poles covered with dried mud,
and the roof was made of grass or leaves. Most Maya lived a simple life close to
nature.

　　The Mayan priests studied the Sun, the Moon, stars, and planets. They made
a calendar from what they learned. The year was divided into 18 months of 20
days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more exact than
the European calendars of the time.

　　Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities,
never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from some
disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops.
Archaeologists(考古学家)are still trying to find the lost secrets of the Maya.

　　3.Why it is said that the Mayan people lived a better life than most people
of that time?

　　A. They had better building skills and housing conditions

　　B. They believed in many gods, and honored the Mayan gods

　　C. They had knowledge about tools and faming

　　D. They studied about nature and the world around them

　　4. What can be the best title for this article?
