9、ever, that this contract does not 1 the same form in different societies. In Western societies, the union of a man and a woman 2 given the status of legal marriage by being registered by an official 3 by the state. In some African societies, however, marriage has nothing to do with an official regis
10、tration of this kind but is legalized by the formal 4 of goods. Generally 5 is the bridegroom who is required to make a 6 of goods to the brides kin（亲戚）, though sometimes a payment is7 made by the bridegrooms kin to that of the bride.Among the Nuer, a person living in Southern Sudan, the payment mad

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.Passage OneGirls as young as 10 years old are dieting and in danger of developing unhealthy attitudes about weight, body image and foo
15、d, a group of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday. Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the vast majority had healthy weights, nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender age of 10, nearly 32 per cent of girls felt “too fat” and
16、31 per cent said they were trying to diet.McVey, a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and her colleagues analyzed data collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1993 and 2003, reporting their findings in Tuesdays issue of the Canadian Medical Ass
17、ociation Journal. Nearly 80 per cent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 percent were considered overweight using standard weight-to height ratios. Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure. Nearly 30 percent of
18、the girls reported were currently trying to lose weight, though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as self-induced vomiting. Still, a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5 per cent of survey Participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder.“Were not talking a
19、bout kids whove been prescribed a diet because theyre above average weight or overweight. Were talking about children who are within a healthy weight range. And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight.” McVey said, acknowledging she found the rates disturbing. She said striking a b
20、alance between healthy weights and healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a complex task, with no easy solutions.1. The study showed that most of the girlsA. were overweightB. were on a dietC. had unhealthy attitudes about weightD. had a healthy body weight2. What percentage of the girls c
21、onsidered themselves overweight?A. Nearly 80 percentB. 7.2 percentC. Nearly 30percentD. 10.5 percent3. The survey participants were girls_.A. who were 10B. who were 14C. who were 10 to 14D. who were 10 to 184. What kind of institution does the lead researcher work with?A. A schoo1B. A hospitalC. An
22、associationD. A charity5. Unhealthy attitudes about weight，body image and food may_A. lead to an eating disorderB. result from self-induced vomitingC. make it easier to gain weightD. bring about greater competitionPassage TwoMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking,
23、cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and h
24、ardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and footb
25、all. There are , of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar
26、sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The
27、 mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by th
28、e age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and their certainl
29、y experience equal enjoyment.6. Mountaineering involves_.A. coldB. hardshipC. physical riskD. all of the above7. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of _.A. activityB. rulesC. uniformD. participants8. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because_.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on other while climbingD. there are 5 climbers on each team9. Mountaineers compete against_.A. natureB. eac
