    Australia as a nation is less than 250 years old if the year 1770 when James Cook discovered the land is regarded as a starting point for its modern history. The short history has not produced a big wealth of cultural heritages. For this reason, Australia spare no efforts to protect its culture. The cottage of James Cook is a perfect example of the government and people's effort.

    Built in 1755, Cooks' Cottage is the oldest building in Australia, with a fascinating past. It's a must when exploring Melbourne. Originally located in Yorkshire, England, the cottage was brought to the Fitzroy Gardens by Sir Russell Grimwade in 1934. In 1901 Australia came into being with its capital in Melbourne. To celebrate the birth of the nation, a statue of Captain Cook was built in Sydney where Cook had sailed in and set his steps onto the land. Stamps were printed in honor of the English explorer. However, Australian people would have to travel all the way to Britain to admire the life of the discoverer, so Sir Russell Grimwade, an Australian businessman, offered to buy the old house of James Cook in Yorkshire and relocate it to Melbourne when Melbourne celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1934. Amazingly, each piece was carefully numbered, packed into boxes and then shipped to Australia, along with cuttings of the original coverings. It took nearly a month to reach Melbourne.

    In fact, explorer Captain James Cook never lived in the cottage-he'd been away from home for almost ten years when his father built it-but this connection to the Cook family was enough to prompt Grimwade to transport the cottage to the other side of the world.

A、1770 B、1775 C、1901 D、1934

I a m a middle school student in Henan, China. Last year, the marathon(马拉松)in my hometown took place in July, a very1 month. I didn't2 the marathon because I thought it was difficult to run in such hot weather. But on my way home from school, I saw a disabled(残疾的)boy running in the3 .I felt very worried. Then I4 him to see if he needed my help. "I should stay behind him, so I should run slowly." I said to5 .

After some time, I couldn't see the front runners and in the end I could6 see the disabled boy. He was the last runner! I thought he was7 at all sports games. "8 can he finish the marathon?"I wondered.

I watched as he slowly9 forward(向前)with difficulty. I would move forward a little, and then I would10 and wait for(等待)him. Then we would go on moving a little.

As I watched him try to11 faster, my heart began to beat faster, too. I wanted him to stop. But at the same time, I12 that he wouldn't.

I was so touched(感动的)and my13 were wet(湿的).He was so great! For him,it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning something, but it was about14 what he had decided to do.

Later in my life, when I think things are too15 , I will think of the boy——————the last runner.  By the way, he made it to the finish line that day.

Games and sports teach people a lot of useful skills, as well as helping them to 1 fit and healthy.

Lots of people love team sports. They enjoy being a member of a team so they have the chance to 2 the matches and events. They also enjoy sharing the 3 or failure (失败) with others. While playing, people have to 4 each other, otherwise they can never win. At the same time, it is important to respect rules, because no game will work 5 everyone plays according to them. Team games also teach you that 6 is not the end of the world. You will always have another opportunity and you will be more successful against your competitors next time.
