Some people believe that international sports 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 encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.

One country received its second-place medal with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, 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 wasn’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 disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single 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 the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury 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 the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).

According to the author, the recent Olympic Games have ______.

A. created goodwill between nations          

B. bred only false national pride

C. barely showed any international friendship

D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

What would the manager mean by saying, “...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?

  A. His team would no longer take part in international games.

  B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.

  C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.

  D. The Federation should be dissolved.

The basketball example implied that ______.

  A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident

  B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrong

  C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision

  D. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals

What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

  A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

  B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.

  C. Sports should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.

  D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.

Good nutrition and a balanced diet will help your children grow up healthily. No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits. Here are some suggestions.

Family Meals

Family meals are comforting for both parents and kids. Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children and to find out which foods they like and which ones they don’t.

Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because they’re trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents’ advice, so they use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.

Stocking Up on Healthy Foods

Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. That’s why it’s important to control the supply lines—the foods which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.

Being a Good Example

The best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, you’ll be sending the right message.

No Conflicts over Foods

Parents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat.

Get Kids Included

Most kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal. It can help prepare them to make good decisions on their own about the foods they want to eat.

1. Family meals provide the chances for parents to do the following things EXCEPT        .

A. guessing what kids are going to have                                      B. finding what kids like and dislike  

C. introducing new foods to kids                                           D. reconnecting with kids

2. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means         .

A. teenagers may be interested in your plan of a family meal

B. teenagers may help you to make a plan of a family meal

C. teenagers may show no interest in your plan of a family meal

D. teenagers may refuse to help you to make a plan of a family meal

3. According to the article, which should NOT be done by parents?

A. Forming a healthful eating habit themselves.            B. Forcing kids to have vegetables.

C. Stocking up on some fruits at home.                             D. Making meal plans with kids.

4. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. How to eat healthily.                                                 B. How to grow up healthily.

C. Help kids form healthful eating habits.                 D. Help kids know what a healthful meal is.

Dear Ms Jordan,

I am sorry for misbehaving in class .I won't do it again.

Tyler Vincent Turner

This is a letter of apology that my six-year-old son Tyler wrote to his teacher .It was simple enough and took less than five minutes to write, but I hoped the message I was sending to Tyler was one that would have a lasting effect.

When I made the decision, I hoped it was the right thing to do .It turned out that Ms Jordan was thrilled when she received the note . She told me that in her 25 years as a teacher no student had ever written her a letter of apology for misbehavior . She literally looked like she was going to cry.

I want him to realize that he is responsible for his behavior, good or otherwise .That’s why I decided to make him write the letter of apology .I didn’t tell him what to write--- the words were his own. And he did so without any reluctance and gave it to his teacher this morning with a verbal apology.If it happens again, he’ll have to write another letter. Taking responsibility for your own actions should start as young as possible and a six-year-old boy is certainly old enough.

For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.

    I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.

   I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.

   People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.

A.he had planned for that for a long time

3.How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?

B.He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
