People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and it can help children keep healthy while they are playing with others, 　71 It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to the research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the USA. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been shouted at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression on sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children’s sports. 　72 This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout insults at other players or cheer when their children behave aggressively. As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is acceptable or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 　73 　In addition, the media make violence seem exciting.

Nowadays, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. 　74 They also need to teach children better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. 　75 If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that health is not as important as winning.

Rahfeal Gordon has come a long way from the homeless shelters and streets of Newark, New Jersey. The 25-year-old was honored this year by the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship for his work----giving motivational speeches to youth groups.

Rahfeal Gordon tells his audience, "If nobody ever says that you're brilliant, say it to yourself every day. Look yourself in the mirror: if you have survived something, I don't care how small, how big, you’ve survived it," he said.

Rahfeal Gordon 's speech is simple: He tells the story of his own life in three chapters. Each begins with a hip hop lyric (歌词) that he knows will be meaningful to a young audience.

Gordon says he uses positive hip hop lyrics to encourage youths, especially those who grew in poverty and abuse, as he did. His talk is called "Hip Hop Saved My Life".

“ When I had my very dark moments in life, I would put on certain songs, whether it is from Jay-Z , Tupac, Kanye West," Gordon said. "They kept me going through the hard times. They fulfilled a certain void (空白) that I couldn't fulfill, like not having a father or mother there, so I felt they could relate because they would tell these stories."

Gordon says his childhood was happy until his father became addicted to drugs and began to beat his three brothers and mother. They left to live on the streets and in homeless shelters. Gordon says he tries now to be a voice for others, including a brother who was murdered at the age of 19.

“When I lost my brother, that was, really, a moment when things really started to take off, in the sense of saying, ‘I really, really want to be that individual to help people, to help individuals,’ ”Gordon said. “I can't be Superman. I can't save the world, but I think that if I can help an individual, I am saving the world. ”

Opposition is growing to the Berlin Zoo’s plans to find a new home for Knut, the moneymaking celebrity polar bear whose popularity has been exploited by environmentalists and even Canadian tourism promoters.

       No longer cute, and just days before his second birthday, Knut will be given a new home that is expected to include a potential mating partner.

       The Berlin Zoo, facing the global economic crisis, can’t afford the estimated $ 13 million it would take to acquire a female and a new home for them to share. “It’s time for him to go --- the sooner he gets a new home the better,” said senior bear keeper Heiner Kloes.

       But some Berliners are beginning a campaign, collecting petition (请愿书) signatures and arguing that he’s a tourist draw and a symbol as important as the Brandenburg Gate. “He means a lot to many people. When you’re with him you forget your problems,” Hartmut Wiedenroth, co-founder of the campaign, told Spiegel Online.

       Knut became an international celebrity in 2007, drawing huge crowds to his cage and triggering sales of thousands of Knut toys and Knut-shaped candies.

       The Vancouver-based Canadian Tourism Commission made Knut a major part of its “Canada—Keep Exploring” campaign to draw tourists to the country--- and especially to polar bear country in northern Manitoba to see them in their natural habitat. Environmentalists also used the bear to promote the fight against global warming.

       But Knut’s popularity diminished as his size increased to 210 kilograms, He was photographed at one point snapping (咬)at a child near his cage. In September his keeper, Thomas Doerflein, died of a heart attack. Doerflein, who became a celebrity himself after nursing the tiny ball of white fur when Knut’s mother rejected him, had been re-assigned shortly after Knut’s first birthday. Some animal rights critics said Knut has been showing unusually aggressive behavior because of his unnatural upbringing.

63.The Berlin Zoo intends to find a new home for Knut mainly because of _______.

A. the mother bear deserting him  B. Knut’s aggressive behavior

C. lacking a skillful bear keeper   D. its financial problem

64. A campaign is being launched in Berlin _______.

65. The underlined word “triggering” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_______”.

       A. decreasing   B. preventing    C. promoting   D. conducting

66. What would be the best title for the passage?

       A. Doerflein, a celebrity of Germany           B. Zoo says Knut must go

       C. The polar bear capital of the world          D. Polar bears in Canada

More and more people sit for a long time every day. But experts are increasingly warning that it could be bad for their health. And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place -- at the office, in the car or before a computer or TV -- just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that health officials rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting. While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position. “After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” Ekblom-Bak said.

However, some people argued that if they spent long stretches of time sitting but used their spare time to exercise, everything would be OK. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert, didn’t agree and said they might get more benefit if that exercise was spread across the day, rather than in a single activity.

In a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised. “We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzmarzyk who led the Canadian study. “But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this seated behavior, the better.”

Figures from a US survey found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars. “People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefit,” Ekhlom-Bak said. “But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.

59. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Do more exercise regularly

B. Rethink physical activity

C. Sitting too much could be deadly

D. Find out a way to keep healthy

60. What can we learn about sitting too long from the passage?

A. It could probably do great harm to one’s health.

B. The body starts to send harmful signals in no time.

C. It makes a great difference where the sitting takes place.

D. It will certainly lead to one’s death whoever does like this.

“Is there anything else you need, honey?” my dad asked me as he put the twenty-dollar bills in my hand. I was traveling back home from a family visit. and after treating me to breakfast and filling my car with gas, it was obvious that my dad wanted to make sure that I would be okay on the road.

“No. Dad．You’ve done so much already. Thank you!” I was overwhelmed once again by his kind acts of providing everything I needed, despite the fact I just turned 40. Yet I realize that in my father’s eyes, I will always be his little girl. He takes deep pleasure in knowing his children are all right. Now that he has enough money, he loves to give whenever he sees a need.   

But this was not always the case. Divorced from my mother when I was 11,my dad couldn’t be around his kids as often as he would have liked. Money was also tight; even weekend visits were rare. However, my dad stayed in constant communication with us and made sure he was involved in our lives. Though he couldn’t always be there in person, I knew he was only a phone call away. I could always count on that.

Even now，almost 30 years later, I treasure knowing that I can pick up the phone and call Dad，and he’ll be there for me. I have a wonderful husband, but that hasn’t changed how Dad sees me. I'm still his child and he loves to see that my needs are met.

I remember a time when I was shopping in a hardware store(五金店)with Dad. I mentioned my plans to paint one wall in my house. Well, that’s all it took for Dad to take action．By the time I got to the checkout line, all the supplies I picked out were put out of my hands and placed with things he bought.

Then there was the time when I took him with me to do some grocery shopping for just a few “items”. By the time we were finished, my shopping cart was full of groceries from every shelf in the store! My sister and I joke that if you don't want Dad to buy it for you, avoid even mentioning you want something.

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they had met each other. The goal of their 36 was to write the word "shmily" in a surprising place for the other to find. They 37  leaving "shmily" around the house, and 38 one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more.

Little notes with "shmily" written hurriedly were 39 on dashboards and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.

It took me a long time before I was able to 40 appreciate my grandparents' game. Skepticism （怀疑论）has 41 me from believing in true love---one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents' 42 . It was more than their funny little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is 43 to experience.　　
　　But there was a dark 44 in my grandparents' life: my grandmother had breast cancer. As always, Grandpa was 45 her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine.
    Now the cancer was again 46 her body. With the help of a cane and my grandfather's steady hand, they went to church every morning.47 my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, 48, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife.
    Then one day, what we all feared finally 49. Grandma was gone. "Shmily." It was 50 in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral banquet. As the crowd 51and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother's casket and, taking a deep 52, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song 53 as a deep and throaty lullaby(催眠曲).

Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that 54, for I knew that, although I couldn't begin to understand the depth of their love, I had been55 to witness its unmatched beauty. SHMILY: See how much I love you.
