Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared
from Britain' s cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by
the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer
places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls,
such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.
The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments
are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school
and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more
attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all
are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But
for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses
at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier
alternative to sitting and watching football.
1. Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on
trains and buses. [答案 F]
2. Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. [答案 T] 3. Because of better policing graffiti decreases. [答案 T]
4. Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. [答案 F] 5. Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks. [答案 F] 选择题
Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护
区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim,
and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education.
In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic
gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother
and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American
children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor,
so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball
team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his
education.
Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.
He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored
all or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed
in two very difficult events： the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability
and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the
1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and
throwing contests.
People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the
decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King
of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, Sir, you are the greatest athlete
in the world. Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, Thanks, King. 1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in[答案 C]. A. India
