A
When it's time to plan your child's party，let your imagination go.Games，crafts，songs，stories and plays all can be part of the fun.The trick is choosing what is right for the age of your guests.
Preschooler parties
Simple songs，stories and games will work well for a preschooler party.Consider renting cartoons or movies，having a puppet show，or making up a story using your guests as characters.
For some reason，parents seem to take an easier，more expensive route，and take kids to Chuckie Cheese，McDonald's，or have to have a huge pizza party.However，preschoolers are easy to please!
Five to eight year olds
For 5 to 8 year olds，you'll need more room to move，like a family room，basement，garage，or backyard.If your party is indoors，check the guest list and plan some games and activities in advance.Finger painting，drawing and guessing games can all be played indoors without disturbing (打扰) the neighbours.
Nine year olds and up
By the time the kids are nine，the party will most likely be all boys or all girls，and it's natural to plan activities around the kid's special interests，like a roller skating party，a football game or a baseball game.
Should a child have a party every year?
When I was growing up，a party was held every three years.I had one on my first birthday，when I was three，when I was six，and nine，and my big party was when I was thirteen.When I turned sixteen，my dad took me to a very special restaurant to eat.When I asked my dad why he took me there，he said he wanted to show me that there was more to life than what I was seeing.

explorer(探险家)by the name of Bartolomeu Dias had discovered the Cape of Good Hope at the tip of Africa.It was thought that there may be a way around the Cape and to the northeast towards India.However，many were skeptical and thought that the Indian Ocean did not connect with the Atlantic Ocean.
Vasco da Gama，who was born in 1460s to a wealthy Portuguese family in Sines，was given a fleet of ships by the king and told to discover a sea route(路线)around Africa to India.He was also told to look for other trading possibilities along the way.
Vasco da Gama left on his first voyage(航行)from Lisbon，Portugal，with four ships and 170 men on July 8，1497.Gama and his men rounded the southern tip of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope on November 22.They then headed north up the coast of Africa.They stopped at trading ports along the way including Mombasa and Malindi.At Malindi (about 120km northeast of Mombasa)，they picked up a local pilot who knew the direction to India.With the help of a monsoon wind they were able to cross the Indian Ocean and arrive in Calicut，India in less than a month (on May 20，1498)．At Calicut，Vasco ran into serious trouble when trying to trade.He had brought little of value in his ships.This made the local traders doubtful of him and very soon he had to leave.The voyage back was disastrous.Around half of his men died from scurvy(坏血病)as the trip back took much longer because of the winds not blowing in his favor.However，when he returned home，he was still a hero.He had found the much needed trade route to India.

B [猜测词义题。由第一段中的“there may be a way...towards India”和划线词后的“the Indian Ocean did not connect with the Atlantic ocean”可知，因为许多人认为印度洋与大西洋不相连，所以他们对绕过好望角而到达印度的路线这一想法持怀疑态度。 ]
