Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India，and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other‘s king，he says，in English，“check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere，he says “check mate”. These words come from Persian（波斯人）. It means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over，and one player has won.

Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example，at one time the queen could only move one square（方块） at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened！Chess takes time and thought，but it is a game for all kinds of people. You dont have to be winner in order to enjoy it. Two people sitting at the same table do not always play it. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some people are able to play with many people at the same time. One man played 400 games！It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

56. Chess____ .

A. is an old Indian game for travel

C. was played in India long before 900

Weve talked about snails（蜗牛） and their slow move. But much of the time snails dont move at all. Theyre in their shells（壳）——sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a snails body. So at the least sign of hot sun，a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains，it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell，asleep.

In spring the snail wakes up. Its body，about three inches long，comes out from the shell. When hungry，the snail looks for food. It cant see very well. Its eyes，at the ends of the top feelers（触角） are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snails little mouth goes to work.

A snails mouth is no longer than the point of a pin（针）. Yet it has 256，000 teeth！The teeth are so small that you cant see them. But they do their work. If you put a snail in a hard paper box，it will eat its way out. And if a snail wears out its teeth，it will grow new ones.

Mostly，a snail looks for food at night. But on cloudy days it eats in the daytime. It eats all day long. A snail can go on eating for hours and never feel full.

61. A snail____ .

A. moves more slowly in the daytime

B. has thousands of feet

C. doesnt move at all

D. sleeps much of the time

62. In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”，the word “draws” means “____”.

A. makes with a pen B. keeps away from

C. pulls D. moves to end

63. From the story we know____ .

A. the snails shell is very thin

B. a snail cant see well

C. the snails nose is quite short

D. the snails body changes in different seasons

64. A snail goes to sleep when____ .

A. it feels hungry B. it is put in a paper box

C. spring is coming D. it rains heavily

65. Which of the following in NOT true？

A. A snail doesnt like living under the sun.

B. In winter the snail doesnt eat or move.

C. The snails teeth cant be worn out.

D. The snails strong sense of smell helps to find things far away.

Have you ever seen the film Traveling Bird？In the film，groups of birds fly high in the sky and cross the way above snow，rivers，fields，sea and grassland. Im sure you will love the beautiful picture when you see the film.

But you may not feel so good if you have learnt about bird flu（禽流感） from TV or on the Internet. Some governments had to kill chickens in their cities. A large number of chickens and even some people died in Asia，and nearly 8，500 birds died in Russia because of bird flu.

Chickens can get bird flu from the feces（粪便） of the passing birds. It is not so difficult to control the chicken in cages or on farms. But it is much more difficult to control the birds in the sky.

Luckily，scientists have found a medicine for bird flu. But the virus（病毒） can change easily and quickly. So bird flu is still a serious problem we must face.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正（T）或误（F）。

66. We know how birds get bird flu from the film Traveling Bird.

67. Not only birds and chickens but also man can get bird flu.

68. The feces of the passing birds can not cause bird flu.

69. It is easier to control chickens than to control flying birds.

70. Scientists have found an effective medicine，so we neednt worry about bird flu any more.

十、 One possible version：

Dear Editor，

I am a Grade 9 student. Recently we have made a survey——“To whom do you go when in trouble？”. Here are the results.

Most students will go to their classmates or friends when they have trouble because they are almost the same age. They can talk with and understand each other easily. Some will tell their teachers or parents about their problems as they have rich experience and they are helpful. Only a few solve their problems by themselves. They hate to talk with others and cant get on well with other people，either. They have few friends.

I think wed better ask our teachers，parents，classmates，and friends for help when we are in trouble.

Yours Sincerely，

Wang Ping
