14．When I was told to play for a drama （戏剧） competition，I became nervous．I had never done anything like this before．But after reading Shakespeare's Twelfth Night，I was excited about what was to come．The story was great and the sentences were so funny．I wanted to give i t a go．
I was playing Sir Toby Belch，a very funny old knight （骑士）．I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words.1worked hard in order to act well，like a real knight from the old days．But the most difficult job was to be funny in all my acting．This is quite different from the way I am in real life．
"OK．it's time to be a different me now!"I said to myself．At first.1couldn't do anything naturally．I didn't know what to do when acting in this silly way．But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was．Even when I was in the bath．I was thinking about Sir Toby's words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did．
The competition day finally came．When it was my turn to perform．I took a deep breath and began my part． I tried hard to make my words clear enough to be understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh．When the results were finally read out．I immediately knew we had won first prize．I made it．
From this experience，I've come to know that I can be a different person．It doesn't mean I've changed my personality，but I can do something I had never imagined possible．

7．

（86）B It has around 3billion fans-nearly half the world's population!And about 300million people play this game．That's 4percent of the world's population!
（87）F Many people in old days played early forms （形式） of this modern game．Cu ju （蹴鞠），a ball-kicking game in China，was reported as early as 2，500B．C．Around the same time in Greece，people were also playing a similar ball game without using their hands．
But modern soccer didn't become official （官方的） until 1863．An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association （联盟）．（88）A From then on，other associations in the countries were set up．They came together-to make up the FIFA，which organizes the World Cup．
It's not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular．（89）D Soccer needs only two feet and a ball．This makes it a sport that developing countries can easily play．Some of the sport's best players come from these poor nations．
（90）G The sport's no-hands rule makes beautiful dance-like movements on the field．What's more，this sport excites the heart．Teams might score only a few times each match，so matches can turn around suddenly．

6．Being able to multitask-doing several things at the same time-is considered （考虑，认为） a welcome skill by most people．But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen，we should think again．
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices （电子产品） as they study．While working，they also surf on the Internet，send out emails，answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods．In a sense，they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts （努力） as they multitask．
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members．As young people give so much attention to their own worlds，they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them．They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house，nor can they eat at the family table．
Multitasking also has an effect （影响） on young people's performance at university and in the workplace．When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets （器具） on their performance of tasks，many young people gave a positive （肯定的） response （回应）．However，the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive．Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills．They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills．Similarly，employers （雇主） feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again，as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary （没必要） for them to learn special skills to do their work．
