Read “Flags” and answer questions 1 to 5.

Flags

  Flags have existed for over 3000 years. The earliest flags were wooden or metal poles topped with a carving.

  About 2000 years ago pieces of fabric were added to some poles for decoration. Over the next 500 years the free-flying part of the flag became more important.

  Every country today has its own flag. Many groups and organisations also have a flag which stands for, or symbolises, the aims of the group.

  The United Nations

  The flag depicts a world map, centred on the north pole. The map is surrounded by an olive wreath, symbolising peace and co-operation. The flag is blue and white.

  Nepal

  This is the only national flag that is not a rectangle. The white shapes represent the sun and moon.

  Singapore

  The five stars stand for five ideals:democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

  Japan

  The central red disc of the sun represents sincerity and passion. The white background represents purity and honesty.

  Cambodia

  Three towers of the famous temple of Angkor Wat feature on this flag.

  The wingless dragon is the national symbol. Bhutan means “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.

     Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the
other's king, he says, in English,"check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere,
he says "check mate (将死)". These words come from Persian (波斯人). It means "the king is dead".
That is when the game is over, and one player has won.    
     Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now.
For example, at one time the queen could only move one square (方块) at a time. Now she is the strongest
piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought,
but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be winner in order to enjoy it. It is not always
played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a
match played by radio. Some people are able to play many people at the same time. One man played 400
games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the
world.

[     ]
