I don’t know if I am missing the greatest pleasure of my life. I am no fan of computer games. Some guys forget themselves and forget day and night when they play games .For example, a colleague has been playing since 1 o’clock this morning and now it is 7 o’clock. He is still commanding his army of little people to attack strange-looking animals. Some games could be fun, 1 admit, and it is therefore understandable that such a game catches players. For example, games like Red Storm or some role-play games, you do something and try to outwit(智胜) your computer. You get some fun out of these games. It is understandable that such a game pushes you into a pitfall(陷阱) of pleasures. But some games look quite stupid and simple. Again for example, my colleague has been interested in Stone Age, a cartoon-like game rooted in prehistoric time. The game is well made, full of strange people and animals and you can play on line with partners. You can have reference books to study so as to shortcut your rivals(对手) and increase your own conquering power.

I believe some kinds of games are really created for adults. But seeing these adults play the simple games with such interest, I just wonder if there is something wrong with me and if I am losing the greatest possible fun of my life. I ask why I don' t bother playing such games and why I seem to have some aversion to such games. I have no answers. Certainly computer games is no my idea of a good time. I would rather listen to some music or read a book. Take music for example. Good music tops my list of pleasures. Nothing could beat music, all in a harmony of sounds and emotions. But how about games? Why am I so strongly biased(偏见) against such games?

       A．games where there are strange people, animals and killing and fighting

       B．games which you can play with partners

       D．games based on history

3．What does the writer think is the best pastime（消遣）？

       A．Music.                B．Reading.              C．Movies.               D．Role-play games.

4．Through the passage, the writer most probably wants to say      .

       A．he can’t understand some of the computer games

       B．computer games need to be bettered to suit adults

       C．computer games are dull and a waste of time

    D．he is missing a great pleasure of life

Dear Sir or Madam,

       With so many students going or having gone to study abroad in our school, Weiwei Tang is among the few for whom writing a letter of recommendation is really a pleasure.

       I first saw her when I worked as a tutor teacher（班主任）of a class in the third year of its senior high school. That day ,I was on the playground supervising the morning exercises of my class .Next to mine were the classes of the freshmen .Among them was a girl ,to whom the morning excises of our school seemed totally alien（陌生的）. She didn’t seem to be worried or embarrassed, but she exercised to the music, copying the moves of her classmates. Her confidence impressed me.

       Later, when I was watching an English talent show in our school, I saw the girl again. She was hosting the program .That time, her beautiful spoken English struck me .Later on , I learnt from other teachers of English that she often did such jobs on similar occasions.

       In 2006, when they became grade three students, I was in charge of English teaching of two classes, one of which was Class 11, and the girl became one of my students. Facing the College Entrance Exam, they were going to pass one of the hardest years of their life. Though Weiwei Tang didn’t top the class in academic performance, two of her individualities contributed to my pleasure of writing this very letter .For one thing, she was definitely among the students who were often around the teachers, communicating ideas and asking questions; for another, her confidence wasn’t lessened by the pressure from going to an idea college.

       Her active participation in various campus activities may have contributed a lot to her being so friendly to others and so communicative.

       When she told me of her plan to study abroad and her TOFEL grade, I didn’t feel it unexpected, because I believe that is what she should do—facing more challenges and creating more chances .Her confident smiles deserve more.

                                                                                                      Sincerely yours,

                                                                                                      Kane Shaw

                                                                      English teacher of her senior year of high school

       Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.

       Students can participate in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies. Anyone can register with such groups, which then organize courses, training and trips for all members.

       One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain, is Outward Bound. The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem and character. As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing, participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include sports and survival training education skills.

       Michael Williams, an American student, took part in an Outward Bound course last year. He said: “We learned lots of first aid skills, lots of natural history, lots of environmental facts, and participated in a wildlife preservation programme. Beyond that, my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”

       Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general good health, but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports. There is no selection process; everyone is welcome, although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity.

Another similar organization is the UK Survival School, which includes courses on learning to live with the environment, sailing and winter survival. On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food , how to make fire and cook with it , to find and build a shelter , control survival life support , how to cross rivers , to send off a distress（危急）signal , and to use compasses by day and night .

       Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the Earth’s roughest wildness areas.”

       B．Learning natural history knowledge is an important part in the courses of Survival School.

       C．All the Outward Bound courses are limited to a month.
