Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .   
Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

假如你是安阳一中的学生李华，你的美国笔友Jane给你来信想了解中国人过春节的情况。请你给他写一封回信，简单介绍中国人过春节的情况，内容须包括以下要点：字数120字左右。书信的开头和结尾已给出

春节是中国人最重要的传统节日，春节往往在阴历元月或二月份进行，春节往往持续半个月的时间。在春节来临之前，为了有个新面貌，各家都进行大扫除。然后在门上张贴对联以便能带来好运气。提前一个月人们就开始忙着采购过年的物品。尤其孩子们都盼望着过春节，因为能穿上新衣服，还能得到很多零花钱（pocket money）。各家都准备了丰富的食物来招待朋友，亲戚。尽管火车票、飞机票很难买，为了能和家人团圆，在外工作的人都会设法回家过年。在春节这一天，燃放鞭炮来增加过年的气氛。在春节期间，人们彼此都很友好，相互探访。在元宵节来临时，春节就结束了，新的一年又开始了。

Dear Jane,

I’ m glad to know that you want to know something about the Spring Festival.                         

Yours sincerely

Li Hua

小刚是上海的一名高中生，他想在2010的上海世博会上当一名志愿者，最近他参加了一些培训，在培训中他了解到：要当好志愿者，除了要学好外语外，还要了解不同国家的身势语，只有这样才能更好地帮助外国朋友，当好东道主. 小刚觉得很有趣，他想把他所了解的知识写信告诉他在外地的笔友――小明。现在请你以小刚的名义写这封信，信要包括下面的要点：

不同文化有不同的身势语。

法国人热情，见到熟人互相握手，亲吻彼此的脸。

中东国家特别是穆斯林国家的男人间说话是站得较近，但对妇女只是点头，   

从不与妇女有身体接触。

一般来说，全世界的见面都握手，但日本人更喜欢鞠躬。

身势语的意义。

注意：

注意书信的格式

2. 不要逐字逐句的翻译要点，可根据需要适当增加。

3. 词数100-120单词 (文章开头和结尾已给, 不计入词数)

Dear Xiao Ming

    Glad to write to you! Last time I told you that I wanted to be a volunteer in the 2010 Shanghai Expo. These days I am attending some training courses and learn that in order to be a good volunteer, we should learn about body language as well as foreign languages. I find it interesting. I’d like to share it with you.

So much for these, I must stop now. Looking forward to your letter.

                                                      Yours,

                                                       Xiao Gang

【小题1】Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.

In many African countries, the care of orphans has been mainly led by foreign donor organizations. However, Sister Florence has changed all that. Using her own resources, Sister Florence is leading the work of raising orphans from different backgrounds. Sister Florence Wanjala’s biggest motivation to start the orphan program was when she saw a little boy whose parents had died. The boy was living with a cruel grandparent and he would visit the grave of his mother, crying for support. Sister Wanjala wanted to give a helping hand and give him hope. From that time, she started feeling the call to help a larger number of orphans.

She opened an office with a few friends and coordinated (协调）a program to help the orphans. All the registrations were done in the office and the program so far has 8000 children. Sister Wanjala said, “My dream is to help the orphan to live a holistic (完整)life and be a good Kenyan citizen to help this country. Many people think that the way to support orphans is to put them in an institution（孤儿院）. Others support them up to the age of eighteen, but here, we do it very differently.” For Sister Wanjala, putting a child in an institution is normally her last choice. She prefers the orphans to live in a foster(寄宿的) home.

She said, “I’m so encouraged and happy to see the orphans succeeding. When they come first or second in class, it shows how the program has helped them, and that’s encouraging to me as I continue to coordinate the program.”Through her charity work, more than 1000 orphans have been able to find a home. Sister Wanjala, as a mother, takes care of her own family.
