How Soccer Can Help Us Understand Physics
Sports provide a great way to understand some concepts(概念) in physics. Physics，after all is the study of matter, motion(运动), force, and energy. And since sports liken soccer, swimming and cycling involve bodies moving through space，they can help us understand how the principles of physics work.
Imagine that you're looking at a soccer hall on a grassy field. If you do nothing to the hall, it will stay motionless on the grass. If you kick the ball, it will roll along the grass before coming to rest again. Pretty simple , right?
For thousands of years, though，people thought that objects like this soccer ball come to rest because they have a natural tendency to stop. It took a famous physicist by the name of Sir Isaac Newton, who lived in the 1600s, to prove that this was not exactly correct.
Newton suggested that objects like the soccer ball have a natural tendency to keep moving.
The only reason They stop，he believed, is because an unbalanced force acts on them. By an unbalanced farce, Newton meant the force applied to the soccer ball by its environment. When kicked, the surface of the ball travels over the grass, creating friction(摩擦力).The taller the
grass，and the rougher the surface of the ball, the more friction is created. And the more friction that exists between the ball and the grass, the less it will travel after being kicked.
Now, imagine that there is no grass. Instead, the ball is resting on a frozen lake. When you kick the ball on the ice, the ball will go much farther than it would have on the grass. This is because ice provides a lot less friction than the grass.
Even so, ice does cause some friction. The ball's interaction with the frozen water crystals on the surface of the lake eventually causes it to come to rest again. But now imagine that instead of ice, the ball is in a place where there's no friction at all. The ball is floating in a vacuum. If you remove friction entirely, kicking the soccer ball would cause it to keep going and going at the same speed, until some force caused it to slow down and stop. To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton, a soccer ball on the grass will stay where it is unless acted on by a force. Similarly, once you kick the ball, it will remain in motion unless acted on by force. This, in so many words, is known as Newton's First Law of Motion.
7. According to the passage , once an object like a soccer ball is in motion, it has a natural tendency to .
A. stop B. slow down C．keep moving D. change direction 答案：C
8. What does the writer explain in the passage? A. The idea of motion, using sports as examples. B. The force of friction, using music as examples. moving
C. The sport of soccer, using examples of teams and players. D. The importance of understanding the concepts in physics. 答案：A
9. The passage is mainly about . A. the motion of objects
B. the life of Sir Isaac Newton C. why we have to learn physics
D. why we kick the ball on a grassy land 答案：A
10. What does the underlined word\ tendency\A. A very small chance of something happening. B. A fifty-fifty chance of something happening. C. The way something normally behaves or acts.
D. The fear of doing something or acting in a certain way. 答案：C

Many Chinese people go abroad to travel, to study, and even to live on their own. People should learn about the cultures they visit because some of the cultures are very different from ours. If you know them and understand them, it will help you a lot.
Talking about the weather and sports is a good way to start a conversation. But when you
talk to westerners, you shouldn't ask their age because it is not polite. Also, you should not ask about how
much money they make every month, not even with someone you know well. In public places like museums and libraries, you shouldn't eat or drink when others are quietly looking at art
works or reading books. When you visit a western country and you want to give someone a small gift or flowers, be careful to choose the right color of flowers. This is because in some countries white flowers are for the dead. When you receive a gift from someone, remember to write a thank you note to express your thankfulness. Using polite language will never be wrong.
The most important thing to remember is that wherever you are, respect the local culture. It may not be the same as the one in your home country, but you should try your best to learn about it and respect it.
