Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term"lawn tennis.‘’ By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874,Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States. And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament （锦标赛）was held-at Nahant near Boston. 43. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 单选题 3分

40、Passage Three There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day. If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly.You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of you body recover from the works of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity. One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn't mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down. For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的))and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do. Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep， which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(反射动作)still work. For instance, if someone tickles（使觉得痒)your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it. 44.
