In the United States and several other countries,2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League.They play on teams in their hometowns.Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires(裁判员) to make sure that everyone follows the rules.Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms.Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant.Eventually,the top teams go to the Little League World Series.
One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown,New York,in 1839,Little League got started in Pennsylvania.Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings(局) than adult baseball.Little League became popular after World War Ⅱ when the game spread across the United States.By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe.Children’s baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years.After this,the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series,but the ban came to an end after one year.
At first,Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve.However,in 1974,the parents of girl baseball players brought a lawsuit.The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls.Later Little League added softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen.Occasionally,a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player.For example,Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues,ten of them as an All Star player.By and large,youngsters play baseball for fun,but their parents are proud of them.

These days,I walk down the steps leading toward the south end of the All England Club in Wimbledon,and still look for the Crow’s Nest,a small green observation tower with an outer ladder that I used to climb on for a wide view of the grounds,but it has since been knocked down.
The Crow’s Nest was a particularly useful point,because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track of the action on as many as 10 outside courts at a time.At the end of the days,reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.
Twenty seven years later,the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court,and even go back to watch key moments in key matches long after they have finished.You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat.But that is a bit like spending all your time ordering room service and looking up fun facts on Wikipedia.
More than at any other tennis tournament,there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting,the history and the traditions.
If they change the price of the fish tacos(鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open,it’s not a story.If they change the price of the strawberries and cream,the signature treat at Wimbledon,it’s time to email your editor using capital letters.
The new retractable(可缩进的) roof was put in place in 2009.Until then,you always had to have a rainy day story in your notebook because there were no guarantees that any matches would be played.Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court,which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative.But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed,but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit:more a theater than a stadium.Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon,too.
5.What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past
A.He made friends with reporters.
B.He reported on tennis matches.
C.He appreciated the beautiful scenery.
D.He exchanged experiences with tennis players.
6.What does the author think of the new way of covering Wimbledon
A.It lacks fun.
B.It is expensive.
C.It is not convenient.
D.It is not quick enough.
7.Why does the author mention strawberries and cream
A.To compare popular foods.
B.To introduce the typical treat at Wimbledon.
C.To describe people’s craze for traditional dishes.
D.To show the traditions of Wimbledon are an attraction.
8.What difference does the new roof make
A.Audiences have easier access to a tennis court.
B.There’s less fun in watching Wimbledon indoors.
C.Reporters are struggling to find original material.
D.Rainy day stories about Wimbledon have become history.

When a storm is coming,most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety.But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm.These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100 kilometer an hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States,where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports,and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous.The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds.Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain.If you are a beginner,it is much safer to join a group for storm chasing vacations during the storm seasons.
Even then,storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement.“Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm chasing.“Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen,but all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However,for storm chasers,it is all worth it.“When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley.“Every storm is an example of the power of nature.It is the greatest show on Earth.”
9.For storm chasing,the first thing storm chasers do is to .
A.get quickly into their cars for safety
B.wait patiently for the storm to develop
C.head straight for the center of the storm
D.collect information about a coming storm
10.Beginners of storm chasing are advised .
A.to do it in an organized way
B.to spend much more time on it
C.not to get too close to a storm
D.not to drive in a heavy rain
11.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph,the author means that “ ”.
A.storm chasing costs a lot of money
B.efforts in storm chasing are well paid
C.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
12.What can we learn from the text
A.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B.Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.
