阅读理解。     Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next
move...acting as a team member…these are all "game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
     Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.
Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that
teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns
and cooperating (合作).
     Many children"s games have a practical side children around the world play games that prepare them for
work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which
sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
     Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring
athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave
flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries
experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
     Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all
continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has
discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not
only soccer balls but also a promising future.
     Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and
whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 1. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____.[     ]
A. be a team leader
B. obey the basic rules
C. act as a grown-up
D. predict possible danger 2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _____. [     ]
A. describe life in an exciting way
B. turn real-life experiences into a play
C. make learning life skills more interesting

A. It inspires people"s deep love for the country.
B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D. It earns the winners fame and fortune. 4. Iribarne"s goal of forming the foundation is to _____.[     ]
A. bring fun to poor kids
B. provide soccer balls for children
C. give poor kids a chance for a better life
D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids 5. What can be inferred from the passage? [     ]

     When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: they"ve been
heard and they"ve been understand. As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are
advocated toward good listening.
     The first step is cooperating (合作). How does a difficult person know that you"re listening and
understanding? In fact, it"s through the way you look and should while he is talking. You may help him to
fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain
sounds of understanding.
     When the person begins to repeat what"s been said, it"s signal of step two: turning back. It means that
you repeat back some words he is using, sending a clear signal that you"re listening carefully and that you
think what he is saying is important.
     Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. At this point, you start to gather information
about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out
what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
     The fourth step is to summarize (概括) what you"ve heard. This allows you to make sure that both you
and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this, two things happen. First, if you"ve shown
that you"re making an effort to understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation
from him.
     Having listened carefully, you"ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels
that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.
     When enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is
usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.

     For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner.
Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the
line between what I control and what you do?
     Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither
is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents" point of view, the only cause of their fight
is their adolescents" complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except
oppositely.
Both feel trapped.
     In this article, I"ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then
suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples
include the color of the teen"s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child"s
failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.
     Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason
why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn"t matter what the topic is-politics, the laws of
physics, or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the
other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and
therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know
more than the other, they"ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
1. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
[     ]
A. Both can continue for generations.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
2. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
[     ]
A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
3. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _____.
[     ]
A. give orders to the other
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D. get the other to behave properly
4. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
[     ]
A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B. Examples of the parent-teen war.
C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

     Parents are busy people. If they are working, they are usually not at home 1______ their children return
from school. Sometimes it is necessary for a parent to write 2______ after-school note for their children.
They sometimes put the note on the kitchen table, the refrigerator, 3______ another place where their children
are sure to find it. A note is often a 4______ way to "talk" with a child than using the telephone. For one thing,
parents have time to think about 5______ they want to say before they write. For 6______ another, the note
lists all the information in one place. It is easy to read again and again. People often forget all the details that 
7______ hear in a telephone call. Finally, cell phones can be turned 8______ or telephone calls not answered.
For these reasons, after-school notes are very popular with parents.
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
     An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom
learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends
the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman-
someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice"s time is spent in a classroom
environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
     One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that
hire them pay for school. What"s more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually
start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job
and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would
receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to
draw from.
     Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night,
which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off (下岗) if business for the employers
is slow.
     Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized
and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the
companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.
