         Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if
    countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:
    that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
    There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done
    little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the
    incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents
    caused principally by minor national contests.
         One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There
    had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.
    They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'
    victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,"This isn't hockey.Hockey and the
    International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such
    behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
         The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a
    disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United
    States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian
    player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the
    basket.It was the first time that the US had ever  lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury
    (评审委员会)  debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that  the result would
    stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
         Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love
    of the game.The suggestion  that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might
    be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages
    aggressive patriotism (爱国主义)．

    1．The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have________.
    A．showed little international friendship
    B．greatly encouraged international brotherhood
    C．created goodwill between the nations
    D．created only misunderstanding and hatred
    2．What did the manager mean by saying "This isn't hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey
    Federation are finished"?
    A．This is not a standard hockey match.
    B．The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
    C．His team would not enter the game in three years.
    D．The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.
    3．The basketball match showed that________.
    A．aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
    B．the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
    C．the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
    D．the American team should have taken the first place
    4．The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that________.
    A．contests often end  in disorder
    B．no contests are fair in Olympic Games
    C．competition discourages international friendship
    D．unfair decisions are common in sports

    It's official: Text messages mania (狂热) has hit China. Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular, and so sending text messages is fast becoming the hot new craze among teenagers.

        Twelve Kitties greeted Liu Jiao and wished her a happy new year on the eve of the Chinese lunar calendar's Year of the Horse, making her very excited. According to Xinhua, about 100 million text and picture messages were sent and received by Beijing mobile phone owners during the Spring Festival.

        Liu Jiao is a student at the High School Affiliated to Beijing University of Chemical Technology. A third of the students in her class own mobile phones. She received more than 20 text messages from her friends during the holidays. Most of these messages were general greetings like “Happy New Year”, or humorous sentences, like “Love you as mice love rice”. One of the good wishes she received was made up of the brand names for eight soft drinks, including Coca-Cola and Wahaha. These brand names, when translated into Chinese, are themselves good wishes for happiness or success.

        Besides the convenience of sending text messages, the relatively low cost attracts many teenagers. A common message usually costs only 0.1 to 0. 2 yuan.

        Tan Yingqing, a Senior Two student, said it would have cost her too much to call all of her friends in Beijing because she spent the Spring Festival in her hometown, Shanghai. So she sent mobile phone text messages to them instead.

        According to China Mobile, there has been a lot of promotion (宣传，推广) for messaging through phones since 1997. And the rise in popularity shows that it has worked.

        As the new term starts, Liu turns off her mobile phone. It is not allowed in class because mobile phones could disturb other students. Also, she would rather not be influenced by calls or messages during breaks. However, she often rushes to check her messages as soon as the school day finishes.

    1．Many teenagers are attracted to send text messages because ________.

        a. it is cool today

        b. mobile phones are popular

        c. it is very convenient

        d. the cost is relatively low

        A. ab

        B. ac

        C. bd

        D. cd

    2．When Liu Jiao received the text message sent by twelve Kitties on the eve of the Spring Festival, she felt ________.

        A. surprised

        B. bored

        C. excited

        D. unbelievable

    3．Tan Yingqing sent mobile phone text messages to her friends living in Beijing during the Spring Festival, because ________.

        A. she was staying in Shanghai at that time

        B. she thought it would cost her too much to call them all

        C. she was shy when speaking on the fashion

        D. she wanted to follow the fashion

    4．The promotion for messages through mobile phones since 1997 in China is ________.

        A. effective

        B. worthless

        C. limited

        D. disappointing

    5．What is the main idea of the passage?

        A. Text message mania has hit China.

        B. Mobile phone users are fond of developing the function (功能) of mobile phones.

        C. Teenagers like sending text messages in their spare time.

        D. Teenagers at school shouldn't use mobile phones, especially text messages.

    四、阅读理解
    There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
    My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戏机) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
    Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
    What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
    In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
    In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
    Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
    So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
    56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
    A. The writer.                                          B. Harry.
    C. The writer’s student.                             D. Walter Mischel.
    57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
    A. all the children got two marshmallows
    B. all the children waited patiently  
    C. self-control can help children succeed later
    D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
    58. Which of the following statement is true?
    A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
    B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
    C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
    D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
    59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
    A. Something we can eat.                   B. A kind of toy.
    C. A kind of mushroom.                     D. A kind of prize.

         It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year, people play tricks on
    each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces
    to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests (such as "Win an elephant!") and report on
    fake stories (like "UFO" lands in New York City).
         Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day,
    the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).
         One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever
    and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The

    everywhere.

    they had only caught chickens No.1, 2, 3, and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
         The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours, they realized
    that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place!
    They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
         It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite
