No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament(锦标赛)last summer in Wisconsin, US.

The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.

Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.

If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls(假摔以使对方犯规).

Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties(处罚)on themselves.

 “It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.

Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”

So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   

Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(开球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.

1.What can we infer from the text?  

   A. A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.     

   B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.

2.According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.

3. What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

   A. One should be praised for not robbing a bank.

B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.

C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.

D. Observing rules demands no praise.

4. Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?

         Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago.My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

         Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three.And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

         The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time.Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first.When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions.McKenzie was smiling broadly.Christie looked refreshed and happy.“She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly.With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

         Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times.For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently.My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak.And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

         The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain.Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.

20.What is the text mainly about?

         A.The experience of the only child being with mother.

         B.The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

         C.The happy life of two families.

         D.The basic needs of children.

21.Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.

         A.happy                 B.curious               C.regretful            D.friendly

22.What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

         A.The daughter acts like a leader.             B.Sam holds her hand more often.

         C.The boys become better followers.       D.Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

23.The author seems to believe that ___________.

         A.having brothers and sisters is fun

         B.it’s tiring to look after three children

         C.every child needs parents’ full attention

         D.parents should watch others’ children

Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some unexpected trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n)  36  of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she   37   hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men  38  the girl’s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother’s house was,   39  they could get the money they had seen.    40   , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers   41  a small amount of cash from the mother and left.
Because the  42  is still under investigation, local police aren’t saying   43  else about it. It’s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers   44   the girl in the past.
Two other   45  were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl’s father and brother. Luckily, no one was   46  . The robbers left peacefully after   47  that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the  48   that had appeared in the photo.
Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to  49   citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites  50   doing so. The police say it is  51   that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address,    52   that the robbers knew the girl in another way.    53  , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have    54  such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that   55  the girl’s name.

Dinah is one of the most good-natured children that ever lived, but she is very, very lazy. There is nothing she likes, or used to like, so much as to curl up in some warm corner in the sun and do nothing.

Dinah’s mother wished very much that her child should learn to read, but the lady who tried to teach her soon give it up. “It is no   16  ,” she said, “Dinah   17  not learn. She is not stupid, but too lazy.”

It happened soon that a young man from Massachusetts came to the house where Dinah lived. He brought with him something no one else in the neighborhood had ever seen before-a pair of roller-skates.

When Dinah saw the young man going rapidly up and down the piazza (广场) on his skates she was so   18 . She ran after him like a cat, her black eyes shining.

One day the young man allowed her to   19  the skates. The child was too happy for words. Of course she fell down, but did not   20  at all.

“Look here, Dinah,” said the young man, “I understand that my aunt has been trying to teach you to read. Why didn’t you learn? Now, if you can read, I will send you a pair of good roller-skates.”

For a moment she said  21 , then exclaimed decidedly, “I’ll have those skates, sure.”

And she did. When she   22  her mind on her work, she could always do it well,  23  it was.

The lady who had before this found her   24   difficult a child to teach, now had no trouble. If Dinah showed the least   25  of her former laziness, the word SKATES was enough to draw her attention back to her lesson instantly.

On New Year’s morning she received a box marked in large printed letters:

MISS DINAH MORRIS,

Care of Mrs. Lawrence Delaney,

NEW ORLEANS, LA.

If she can read what is on the outside of this box she can have what is inside.

And as Dinah read every word clearly and quickly, of course she had the fine roller-skates the box held. And now sitting curled up in the sun, doing nothing, is not the thing she likes to do best.
