Although it is a game of chance, the superstitions and taboos about baseball are as many as balls and strikes in baseball games. Take the pitchers for example.

There are also some rituals when it is a player’s turn to bat, such as tapping home plate or drawing in the dirt of the batter’s box with the bat. Nomar Garciaparra of the Oakland Athletics takes his ritual a step further. He is known for cautiously adjusting his gloves and tapping his toes on the ground before each pitch. Some superstitions are related to player’s uniforms. In the middle of a hitting streak, a batter might refuse to change his socks, no matter how dirty and smelly they are. As for the pitcher, a lot of pitchers refuse to change their caps when they are continuously winning the game. Other superstitions have to do with the diet.

(7) 99-3 共同考科. 英文. Playing with toys is a pleasant memory we all share together when we are little, but today’s toys are no longer just for kids. Many adults are passionate about collecting and using toys as a temporary escape from the adult world. The toys for adults all share a certain healing aspect. For example, a cute Flip Flap on your office desk can help you vent your anger over an overly fussy boss or a mean colleague. It seems that Flip Flap interacts with you with its leaves and smile on its plastic face. The trend of healing toys dates back to late 1996, when Japanese economic bubble burst. The Japanese company, Bandai, released the Tamagotchi, which was a handheld digital pet created by Aki Maita. The Tamagotchi was housed in a small and simple egg-shaped computer. By using this egg-shaped device, owners can bring up a “virtual pet”, which needed to be fed, paid attention to, and played with. If owners did not take good care of their pets, the device would let off a series of beeps, letting the owners know their pets were mad. With the success of the Tamagotchi, Japanese toy companies set about developing new toys and gadgets with new ways to sooth the souls. Scholars say that the widespread popularity of these healing toys is the best evidence of the gradual decrease in human interaction we have in modern society. These toys provide people with the chance to take a break or get their anger, exhaustion or loneliness off their chest, and they set to keep growing in popularity and sales. 46.

(A) They are virtual. (B) They have healing effect. (C) They are very expensive. (D) They can be played in the office. 48. What is NOT true about Tamagotchi? (A) It is invented by a Japanese company. (B) It is a house for pets. (C) It needs proper care. (D) Its shape is like an egg. 49. What does the word “set about” in the second paragraph mean? (A) set fire (B) put up (C) begin with (D) bring about 50. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true? (A) The emergence of healing toys made it possible for Japanese people to build close relationship with one another. (B) By taking the healing toys apart, people were able to get their anger off their chest and thus feel better. (C) Virtual pets hit the Japanese market at a time when the nation’s economy was recovering from its economic downturn.
