Knott's Berry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Farm is the nation's oldest, and first theme park and draws around five million visitors each year. Knott's Berry Farm hardly had a very good start. Arriving in Southern California in the 1920s, the Knott Family farmed about 20 acres of land and finally started a restaurant called Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Mrs. Knott's food became well known and her husband Walter built a Ghost Town as a way of entertaining waiting customers. The family kept expanding and today, Knott's Berry Farm has 165 rides, shows, attractions and restaurants. For more than 80 years, Knott's Berry Farm has been entertaining families and visitors from around the world with great rides and fantastic fun.
Knott's Berry Farm is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )separated into six different themed areas with rides and attractions. Fiesta Village highlights (突出) California's Spanish heritage (遗产) with art work, rides and food. Indian Trails is similar to Fiesta Village but with an accent on Native American legends, crafts, music and dancing. The heart and soul of Knott's, Ghost Town is an 1880s California Boom Town with cowboys, gunfights, stagecoaches, and a real steam train. The Boardwalk makes people think of Southern California beach and surfing heritage plus the Boomerang roller coaster and the Hammer Head. Wild Water Wilderness is an 1800s style park with water rapids and a magical journey into Native North America. For Peanuts fans, Camp Snoopy is a six acre children's wonderland with 30 rides and attractions. Knott's Berry Farm also stages yearly special events such as Scary Farm and Halloween Haunt plus Knott's Merry Farm for the holiday season.
Knott's Berry Farm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is in Buena Vista, Orange County, California. It is about half an hour from downtown Los Angeles and 10 minutes from Disneyland. Knott's Berry Farm is open from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. during the week. The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. and from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m. on Sundays. During the summer months, the park is open later. The theme park is closed on Christmas Day. Tickets for 2010 were：adults，$ 53.99 all day; people older than 62, $ 23.99; children 3 to 11 years old, $ 23.99. For more information about Knott's Berry Farm，call 714－220－5220.

The early 1900s wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e very different from today, when toys were still the delight of children everywhere.
Theodore Roos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )evelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear”. In the year 1902, toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname. The Teddy Bear became known worldwide and it was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.
In 1913, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )item called the Erector Set was invented. It was a steel，motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything. Its creator was A. C. Gilbert，a medical doctor.
Charles Paje ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )au created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914. Tinker Toys were made for younger children.
Raggedy Ann dolls firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced (复制) the doll he made for his daughter. That was in 1915.
The following year, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an architect's son named John Lloyd Wright，invented Lincoln Logs，which were interlocked (连接) to make structures.
Two years after Mickey ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Mouse was created，stuffed (填塞) Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark. This was the start of Disney merchandise (商品)．
The yo yo bec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ame popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo yo company in 1929.
The View Mas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber. The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still, 3 D images from Disney movies and television programs.
Finally, in 1940, mode ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l airplanes were mass produced. They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught_on as a toy.
The toys that we know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and love today have had their roots from these ancient times. Thanks to all these creative men's efforts, we know otherwise what we may never know.
5．Why were toy bears named “Teddy”？
A. To be suitable for mass production.
B. To be easily pronounced by children.
C. To meet the advertisers' needs.
D. To memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段的T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the“Teddy Bear”. In the year 1902, toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname.可知，玩具熊被命名为Teddy是因为Theodore Roosevelt这位总统的名字。

About 400 high scho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ol students from Western Pennsylvania and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on “China: What Does the Future Hold？”
“It's either going to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) turn out really good or really bad—who knows？” said Braveen Ragunathan, a senior from an Ohio high school. In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way.
The forum (论坛) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was held in Pittsburgh, once a US industrial center, now facing job cuts because of competition brought about by globalization. The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world.
Elliott Blackwell, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a junior at the Neighborhood Academy, said the forum let him know more about how China's economic development will affect America in the future.
Some students, alth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ough impressed by China's economic boom(繁荣), expressed uneasiness (担心，不安) about the nation's practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics.
“China is a power co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ming up, so they might challenge us，”Paul Amon, a junior from Oil City High School, said. “I'd hope that China can be our partner but I think that we'd clash (冲突) along the way because we're too different” he added.
George Riley, a teache ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r explained, “The view of China is usually negative (否定的) and I think that's fueled by the media (媒体)．”
However, some nega ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tive feelings are not from the media. Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh. Both her parents lost their jobs recently. The company they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than in the US.
“China is just this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) big question mark. China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based，” she said.
For better or worse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )US teenagers are eager to know more about China, the forum shows.

Through histo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry, children have played with toys and they help to prepare children for adult life. But the toys are changing all the time. As science and technology have changed the way adults live, the toys children play with have changed as well. Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with. Today trains and mobile phones are popular toys for young children, but there were no toys of this kind before real trains and mobile phones were invented. The materials that toys are made of have also changed. Today lots of toys are made of plastic. Plastic is a modern, man made material that did not exist (存在) in the past. On the other hand, some other toys that you have might not be all that different from the ones children played with 1, 000 years ago. Scientists have found some bone dice (骰子) in Aberdeen. In medieval (中世纪的) times dice were used for playing games as much as they are today.
A recent survey found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that half of all the children aged from 4 to 6 have played video games, a quarter of them regularly. The increasing use of electronic toys troubles Dr Singer，a professor at Yale. “One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world，” he said，“No matter how brilliant they are，they're not going to learn to walk, to move or to talk to others unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities.”
Some toy experts argue ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that the best toys are the ones that increase a child's creativity and imagination. Traditional toys can be used for different kinds of purposes and be used in group settings, individually (单独地), and one to one. They are also used differently depending on the child's age and skill level. And these toys made of natural materials are valuable for children because they teach children what the world is made of.
6．In how many ways do toys change according to the first paragraph
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的“Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with.”和“The materials that toys are made of have also changed.”可知，文章是从玩具的种类和制作玩具的材料两方面来说明玩具的变化。故选B。
7．The author used the example of “dice” to show that ________.
A. the toys are changing all the time
B. some toys are made of different materials
C. some toys don't change over time
D. some toys' materials don't change over time
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据第一段中的“...not be all that different from the ones children played with 1,000 years ago...”可知，作者用“骰子”这个例子来证明有些玩具历经千年也不“过时”，故选C。
8．From the article, we can know that ________.
A. only children like to play with toys
B. toys have nothing to do with children's future life
C. the development of toys is related to science and technology
D. plastic is the best material for making toys
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。A项 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的内容在文章中并没有提及；根据第一段的“children have played with toys and they help to prepare children for adult life”可知，玩具对孩子将来的生活有影响，故B项错；第一段的“Plastic is a modern, man made material that did not exist in the past.”只是说塑料在过去不存在，但是不能推出它是制作玩具最好的材料，故D项的说法也是不正确的；根据第一段的“Development in science and technology has had a big effect on the toys that children play with.”可知，科技的发展影响着玩具的发展，故正确答案为C项。
9．According to Dr Singer, ________.
A. the electronic toy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are good for children if they play often enough
B．the electronic to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys prevent children from keeping in touch with the real world
C．children should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be stopped from being hurt by the danger coming from the outside world
D．children shoul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d play with electronic toys instead of the traditional ones
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第二段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的“One thing we know is that kids in early years need to be in touch with the real world, ...unless their hands or feet have a direct role in such activities.”可知，电子玩具阻止了孩子和真正世界的接触。故选B。
