4、Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

3、 “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father. With tears welling（涌出） up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and harmonious.

       But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．

    I wandered the street，without a destination in my mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets，until I had only street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high -rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on．

I thought to myself，“Is father waiting for me．or is he still angry with me?”

    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，Dad was throwing some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．

    All the lights were off except father’s.

    Dad was always 1ike this．Maybe he didn’t know bow to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or regret After an argument he will creep（蹑手蹑脚）up in my sleep and then tuck me underneath the covers

    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．

    The light was still on. With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love－it is second to none．

29、“Image is everything．” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length．

       First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑闻） showed that behind that image, it had dishonest business practices．Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．

       Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace（体面）like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close．

       To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the "selling" of a person．But image is only half of the equation．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself—the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．

1．The downfall of the Arthur Andersen accounting firm is due to ______．

     A．its dishonesty in business                   B．its previous images

       C．its bad management                   D．its poor service

2．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

A．Their images were not well built up       B．They failed to live up to their images．

C．They felt much pressure from the public. D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．

3．The structure of the passage is             ．

4．The author tries to argue that______．

    A．image creates everything                   B．image is the key to success

    C．truth goes hand in hand with image        D．truth and image are equally important
