The 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.
But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.
But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient Chinese attitude toward the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.
China didn’t win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing the athletes who failed to finish on top of the podium(领奖台), the majority of fans were happy with their efforts. “Reacting in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.
Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo micro blog have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her straightforward character and attitude toward competition.
“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude toward competitive sport and the Olympics have gotten to a higher level,” said an article in the People’s Daily.
1.From passage 2, what can we know about Liu Xiang?
A. He is still a famous athlete.
B. He didn’t complete his event in the Beijing Olympics.
C. The audience desired him little.
D. He was required to give up the competition.
2.What does the underlined word “lenient” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. unhappy B. serious
C. complaining D. tolerant
3.People like Fu Yuanhui because of her ________.
A. kindness to the fans
B. winning a bronze medal
C. attitude to competition
D. Weibo mirco blog
4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?

C. Changing attitude to athletes is a must.
D. Getting as many gold medals as possible.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
Use associations.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair. ” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Fighting racial stereotypes(模式化)on US campuses often begins by putting students of different ethnic backgrounds together — under one dormitory roof.
Sam Boakye was a freshman at Ohio State University and the only black student on his floor. He was determined to get good grades — in part to make sure his white roommate had no basis for negative racial views. "You're pushed to do better, to challenge the stereotype that black people are not that smart," he told the New York Times.
Several recent studies have found that having a roommate of a different race can reduce prejudice(偏见), diversify(使多样化) friendships and even promote students’ academic performance. In a study by Ohio State psychology professor Russell Fazio, black freshmen who came to college with high test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate—even if the roommate’s test scores were low. Another study on student interaction by Duke University suggests that freshmen with roommates of a different race were the most likely to diversify their friendships. “Just having diversity in classrooms doesn’t do anything to increase interracial friendships,” said Claudia Buchman, an author of the Duke study. “But living together with a different-race roommate does lead to more interracial friendships.”
There are, however, some problems with such room assignments. Fazio’s study found that three times as many randomly(随机地) assigned interracial roommates weren’t living together at the end of the semester, compared with white roommates. Interracial roommates also spent less time together, had fewer joint activities and were less involved with each other’s friends than white pairs.
As for Boakye, this is not the case. “A lot of white students come without much exposure(暴露)to diversity, so when their first interaction with a black guy isn’t bad, they will make more black friends. I think I made a good impression on my freshman roommate. I saw him this year, and he said, ‘Hey dude, you’re not the only black friend I have.’ That felt good.”
1.Having a roommate of a different race can have the following benefits EXCEPT ________.
A. making more friends
B. reducing prejudice
C. earning better grades
D. improving physical health
2.Sam Boakye was determined to get good grades partly because ________.
A. he wanted to prove he was a smart boy
B. he intended to please his parents
C. he wished to earn the scholarship
D. he wanted to show black people are as smart as white people
3.We can conclude that Boakye ________.
A. got along well with his white roommate
B. shared fewer joint activities with his white roommate
C. had a negative attitude towards his white roommate
D. is still living together with his freshman white roommate
4.The 4th paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the interracial friendship
B. some problems with having an interracial roommate
C. some comments on the interracial roommates
D. the interaction between the black student and the white student

Reflecting(回忆) on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of “What if?” is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.
I once majored in architecture — something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember — and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.
“Don’t give up on your childhood dream!” “He’s right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture.”
It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded. When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: “Right now, what do you want to do with your life?” That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that moment, it was what I wanted.
We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.
1. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 1?
A. Past actions should be treasured.
B. It’s unwise to regret all the time.
C. Life would be dull without “What if?”
D. We make better decisions by looking back.
2.What does the underlined word “agonized” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Proud B. Determined C. Unregretful D. Painful
3.Why didn’t the author change her major immediately?
A. Changing a major was uncommon
B. Her advisor forced her not to do that
C. She thought it a betrayal(背叛) of her younger self
D. She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.
4. What lesson did the author learn from the experience?
A. Don’t follow others’ career advice
B. It’s OK to switch to our real love.
C. Improve us before realizing our dream
D. Childhood dreams are hard to insist on
