2018 届二轮复习 阅读理解阅读七选五典题 10 篇练与析 【一】 Cheerleading (拉拉队) dates back to the late 19th century, when crowds began to chant and yell to encourage their teams. Credit for the first organized cheer was given to a University of Minnesota student named Johnny Campbell, who got the students to shout “Rah, rah, rah! Skuumar, Hoorah! Hoorah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minnesota！” for their football team in the 1898 season. Soon after, a yellleader group of six male students was organized, a practice that became popular at numerous other universities. For the first few decades of its history cheerleading was an allmale activity, but by the 1920s, women began to take part in the activity as well. Nowadays more than 90% of America’s cheerleading participants are female. In 1948, Lawrence Herkimer, a former Southern Methodist University cheerleader formed the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA). Herkimer is credited with creating many of cheerleading’s fundamental moves. Cheerleading remained in its supporting role until the 1980s, when cheerleading competitions, organized by the National Cheerleaders Association and other groups, started to grow in popularity. For the first time, teams got off the sidelines and took centre stage, competing with teams from all over the U．S. Today cheerleaders can be found at almost any kind of sporting event, including the Olympics and the Cricket World Cup. The sport has spread from the U. S. to many other countries, like Mexico. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，简单介绍了拉拉队的发展历史。 12．Which of the following is TRUE to the first organized cheer? A．It started in the early 19th century.

Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. __39__ — how being in those gardens made us feel.

Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. __2__ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve.
