THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE TOPIC

**1.Tennis** is a [|sport] usually played between two players ( [|singles] ) or between two teams of two players each ( [|doubles] ). Each player uses a [|racket] that is strung to strike a hollow rubber [|ball] covered with felt over a net into the opponent's [|court]. Tennis is an [|Olympic] sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people [|in wheelchairs].

The modern game of tennis originated in the [|United Kingdom] in the late 19th century as "**lawn tennis**" which has close connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of // [|real tennis] //. Up to then, "tennis" referred to the latter sport: for example, in [|Disraeli] 's novel // [|Sybil] // (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to [|Hampton Court] and play tennis. As it is the [|Derby] [classic horse race], nobody will be there". After its creation, lawn tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world.

2. tennis is enjoyed by millions of recreational players and is also a hugely popular worldwide spectator sport, especially the four [|Grand Slam] tournaments (also referred to as the "Majors"): the [|Australian Open] played on hard courts, the [|French Open] played on red clay courts, [|Wimbledon] played on grass courts, and the [|US Open] played also on hard courts.

3. The players (or teams) start on opposite sides of the net. One player is designated the //server//, and the opposing player is the //receiver//. Service alternates game by game between the two players (or teams.) For each point, the server starts behind their baseline, between the center mark and the sideline. The receiver may start anywhere on their side of the net. When the receiver is ready, the server will [|serve], although the receiver must play to the pace of the server. In a legal service, the ball travels past the net (without touching it) and into the diagonally opposite service box. If the ball hits the net but lands in the service box, this is a //let// or //net service//, which is void, and the server gets to retake that serve. The player can serve any number of let services in a point and they are always treated as voids and not as faults. A fault is a serve that falls long or wide of the service box, or does not clear the net. There is also a "foot fault", which occurs when a player's foot touches the baseline or an extension of the center mark[|[31]] before the ball is hit. If the second service is also a fault, the server //double faults,// and the receiver wins the point. However, if the serve is in, it is considered a legal service. A legal service starts a //rally//, in which the players alternate hitting the ball across the net. A legal return consists of the player or team hitting the ball before it has bounced twice or hit any fixtures except the net, provided that it still falls in the server's court. A player or team cannot hit the ball twice in a row. The ball must travel past the net and bounce in the other players court. A ball that hits the net during a rally is still considered a legal return. The first player or team to fail to make a legal return loses the point. 5. A tennis [|match] is determined through the best of 3 or 5 //sets//. Typically for both men's and women's matches, the first player to win two sets wins the match. At certain important tennis tournaments for men, including all four [|Grand Slam] tournaments, Davis Cup and the final of the [|Olympic Games], the first player to win three sets wins the match.[|[32]] A set consists of //games//, and games, in turn, consist of //points//. A [|game] consists of a sequence of [|points] played with the same player serving. A game is won by the first player to have won at least four points in total and at least two points more than the opponent. The running score of each game is described in a manner peculiar to tennis: scores from zero to three points are described as "//love//", "//fifteen//", "//thirty//", and "//forty//" respectively. (See the main article [|Tennis score] for the origin of these words as used in tennis.) If at least three points have been scored by each player, and the scores are equal, the score is "//deuce//". If at least three points have been scored by each side and a player has one more point than his opponent, the score of the game is "//advantage//" for the player in the lead. During informal games, "advantage" can also be called "ad in" or "ad out", depending on whether the serving player or receiving player is ahead, respectively. In tournament play, the chair umpire calls the point count (e.g., "//fifteen-love//") after each point. The score of a tennis match during play is always read with the serving player's score first. After a match, the score is always read with the winning player's score first. At the end of a game, the chair umpire also announces the winner of the game and the overall score. 6.there are several types of courts are: clay, hard, grass, carpet, wood.

EARTH DAY As we all know, our earth is getting more and more damaged nowadays as a result of the pollution that human being made. we always think that we have unlimited resources to use, but we do not. we cut down trees before they grow to maturity and they can not grow in time. we produce the air pollution, the water pollution even the nuclear pollution. And we change the farm to city to populate the large population to accommodate our needs.

MOTHER every child is happy because of the mom. i have a wonderful mom and I look it as a treasure because i love her too much, Before I went to America, I quarrelled with my mom several times.

activity2-21 1.demonstrating the learned behavior 2.I know another example about the chimpanzee: the researchers hang a banana in the high place of a single room, and put three boxes in the room. First time they taught the chimpanzee pile the three boxes one by one, then you can get the banana. Second time, the researcher let chimp stay in the same room, this time chimp knows how they can get the banana from the first time.
 * ASSIGNMENT( MAY 3TH)**

activity 2-22 summary: another consideration about conscious thinking is whether an animal can anticipate and intentionally plan an action. there is an example of sea otters. The sea otters feed on sea urchins and mollusks. They always dive to the bottom of the sea and pry the mollusk loose with claws and teeth, but some shell is tough or tightly attached to the rocks that make it hard to loose.So, otters will tuck a stone under an armpit as it swims or dives. The young and very old sea otters use stones, whereas the vigorous can dislodge the shellfish by paws and teeth.

MAY 12th-Chapter 4---learner's notebook

Dear Sarah, Hi! Sarah.How are you? Now, I have started the life in the Ohio University. The life here is nice and colorful. Since I knew you were choosing the university you want to attend, I want to give you some suggestions about it. When I chose a university, I considered many criteria. First, it is the quality of the education. I think it is the most important thing we should take into consideration. Without excellent teachers and advanced educational equipment, we would hardly learn the good knowledge. Second, I think the atmosphere in the university is also considerable. Ohio university is a university which is full of academical atmosphere. Third, it is the tuition and fees. As for me, some private universities are so expensive that it will load much pressure on my family although they have good qualities. But I can enter private university in my graduate period. Fourth, they are the activitied and clubs, these are other important factors that could provide you with the chance of practicing leadering, communiting and working with others. Knowledge is not the only thing that u should gain in university. The last criteria is the location. Diverse locations depend on the different majors. For instance, if you want to study the business, you had better choose a university where there are many chance to have intership, also, there are many information that help you a lot. These are my criteria of choosing a university. University is vital to life and study. A rewarding university will offer you many chances to expand your mind and enrich your life. Good Luck!

yours, sincerely
