It seems that the Englishman just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it? Taking all amateur(业余)and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.

 The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. The rugby, in which an oval-shaped ball is used can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring,butit enjoys great popularity among the British.

 Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world. Table-tennis or “ping-pong” surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or in Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.

9:The main purpose of paragraph one is to tell us that the English_______.

10:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?

11:From the second and the third paragraph, we know that_____.

— Can you believe that she is an orphan?

— Oh, he must be feeling very lonely after the ______ of her parents.        

A. absence               B. loss                C. outcome        D. shade

Want to learn a foreign language well? Come to Teenagers Abroad! We invite you to join us on an amazing journey of language learning.

Our Courses

   Regardless of your choice of course, you’ll develop your language ability both quickly and effectively.

   Our Standard Course guarantees a significant increase in your confidence in a foreign language with focused teaching in all 4 skill areas----speaking, listening, reading and writing.

   Our Intensive Course builds on our Standard Course, with 10 additional lessons per week, guaranteeing the fastest possible language learning(see table below)

Evaluation

  Students are placed into classes according to their currnt language skills. The majority of them take on online language test before starting their programme. However, if this is not available, students sit the exam on the first Monday of their course.

  Learning materials are provided to students throughout their course, and there will never be more than 15 participants in each class.

  Arrivals and Transfer

  Our programme offers full package----students are taken good care of from the start through to the very end. They are collected from the airport upon arrival and brought to their accommodation in comfort. We require the student’s full details at least 4 weeks in advance.

Meals/ Allergies(过敏)/ Special Dietary Requirements

   Students are provided with breakfast, dinner and either a cooked or packed lunch(which consists of a sandwich, a drink and a dessert). Snacks outside of mealtimes may be purchased by the student individually.

   We ask that you let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements as well as information about any medicines you take. Depending on the type of allergies and/or dietary requirements, an extra charge may be made for providing special food.

Dear Mr / Ms,

       I would like to suggest that the starting time be changed at our school. Classes at Sebastian Valley Middle School simply start too early in the morning. Getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night is almost impossible when classes begin at 7:30 am. In order to shower, dress, get organized, eat a quick breakfast, and meet the school bus by 6:45, I would have to get up at 5:45.

       Early in the morning, students are too sleepy to learn well. Without enough sleep, young people cannot think clearly or enjoy learning. According to a report called “Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?” from Sebastian Valley Times, “Sleepiness disturbs concentration, reduces short-term memory, and causes bad feelings.”

       Researchers have learned that teens normally fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Teens who stay up late at night have trouble getting up early in the morning. Studies show that some schools have already adjusted school hours to better match the teen sleep cycle (周期); as a result, students in these schools are learning better on the new schedule.

       Some of my classmates argue that starting school an hour later will prevent them from taking part in after-school athletic programs. A solution would be to carry out these programs before school instead of after school. The students who are involved in sports and clubs would continue to arrive at the usual time. The rest of the student body could get a little more sleep and arrive an hour later.

       Teens usually have a later sleep cycle, and learn and behave better when rested. So I would like to suggest that we have a meeting to discuss the problem and listen to all the students’ voice.

       Thank you for considering this request!

Tom Sullivan, Grade 8

When we were kids,my little sister Madison and I were the M & Ms—my parents' two daughters._36_So it was quite a surprise when my mom and dad sat us down to let us know that baby number three was on the way when I was 10 years old.However,as soon as my brother Mac was born,he completely stole my heart and I have learned a few things from having a young brother.

_37_

Having a baby in your life means watching your parents endlessly change diapers（尿布）,make bottles,and wipe spit-ups every once in a while.I was allowed to do those things and I learned just how important it was to take care of this little life before I even hit middle school.

You watch a child grow up.

_38_I remember how excited my family was when we discovered how fast of a reader he was in kindergarten. I'll never forget telling him bedtime stories before he went to sleep at night.It's cool to think about the entirety of his life and how far he has come.

You teach your brother life lessons.

From a young age,my brother watched my sister and me overcome personal challenges,go to high school,and, worst of all,get our hearts broken._39_Watching his sisters go through life's difficulties has taught him how he should act when he gets older.

Now Mac is 11 years old.I have no shame in telling people that one of my best friends is an 11-year-old boy.In fact,our family without him is unimaginable._40_

A.You stay in the know.

B.You learn about responsibility early on.

C.We received a lot of attention,and we liked it that way.

D.All I can say is that my family wouldn't be happy without Mac.

E.I remember the first time Mac crawled,walked,and said my name.

F.Thanks,Mom and Dad,for turning the M & Ms into the Three Musketeers.

G.Nothing makes Mac more upset than a mean guy who hurts a girl's feelings.

Reader: For six years, I’ve run an office that has two employees: me and my boss. He used to be so appreciative that I didn’t mind doing a little extra, but about two months ago, he started being rude and demanding. Now he even yells when I don’t have time to bring his favorite wine to his home after work.

This change started when we met a wealthy new customer, who is a huge jerk (古怪的人) -- my boss’s new behavior is just like his.

My boss is a good man; he and his family have treated me like a little sister. Is there a good way to discuss this with him?

Karla: Sounds like your new customer has set a bad example to your boss. You need to remind your boss that you’re in his corner-- but you’re not his slave. My suggestions are as follows.

Start with a simple question in a calm moment: “Is everything okay?”

State the truth: “Until recently, I’ve felt like a valued teammate. But our relationship has become tense. Your expectations of me seem to have changed. Although I used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.”

Draw your lines: “If you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enough, let’s discuss that. Otherwise, I need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.”

Ideally, you’ll get an apology and a promise to do better. After that, it’s a matter of reinforcement (加强) . If he starts yelling, look at him with a calm expression. After he cools down, restate his request and add, “Is that correct?” For the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “I’m afraid I can’t take care of that for you.” If he keeps acting like a jerk, there are bosses out there who will better respect your time and talent.

Karla L. Miller is ready to hear your work dramas. Send your questions to wpmagazinewashpost.com.

8. We can infer that the reader’s boss used to be ____.

A. grateful and friendly    B. rich but strange

C. proud and hard-working    D. honest but self-centered

9. What does the underlined word “demanding” mean in the first paragraph?

A. appreciating too much    B. scolding too much

C. apologizing too much    D. expecting too much

10. When the reader’s boss asks her to do something unreasonable next time, she is advised to ___________.

A. quit her job    B. look at her boss calmly

C. refuse the request    D. discuss the job description

11. What sort of problem can be solved by Karla L. Miller?

A. How do I make a friend?

B. How do I kill my personal time?

C. How can I get along well with my workmates?

D. How can I get rid of wine?

       Banging the keys in frustration, I turned away from the piano. I tried to   36   the tears that were already welling up in my eyes. After an hour of   37  , I still couldn’t get the rhythm quite   38   on a Mozart piece that I had to present to my piano teacher the   39   day. To me, the piece had at first seemed fairly   40  . But, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to   41   it the way that it was supposed to be played.

       I decided to take a   42  , and come back to the piece later when I had   43  . For the most part, after a little bit of   44  , I could usually learn the music pretty quickly — however, it was always that one   45  , which might have appeared simple but was indeed difficult, that always got to me.

       After having dinner, I   48   to come back to the piano. Placing my fingers tentatively（犹豫不决地）on the   49   , I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully instead of trying to play the piece   50  . Using this new method, I exercised a great deal of patience,   51   that I often have trouble with. Instead of focusing on how hard the rhythm was, I focused on how I could   52   myself, little by little. Finally I could slowly see myself getting better.

Dear Alcohol,
    You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
    Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
    Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐). "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
    Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.
    I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.
    Sincerely,
    Anonymous

请阅读下面一篇China Daily英文报中的一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇l50词左右的文章，向该报投稿，阐述你自己的看法。

With the widespread use of technologies like GPS and Internet-connected cameras, parents can now keep an eye on their children wherever they are.      

The combination of high-tech tools and highly-protective parents has set off the creation of a GPS-equipped wristwatch that allows parents to listen in real time to what their children are doing. The device has caused complaints from teachers since some parents began equipping their children with the watch so they can listen in on what happens at school.      

A teacher surnamed You at a well-known primary school in Pudong New Area discovered someone was eavesdropping(偷听) on her lessons after a parent of one of her students posted something she said online while class was still on. You soon found out the parent had given her child a watch that could send out the sounds in the classroom to her mobile phone. Soon, other parents decided to equip their own children with the devices.      

You was annoyed to find out her students' parents were spying on her. It made her feel as if they distrusted her. After You told her fellow teachers what had happened, they discovered that some of their students were also wearing the watches.

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub，it isn’t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short for public house.

That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don’t have lots of spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.

This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously, with 11 p. m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking “, and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.

In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs.

As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be
working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

Fill in the blanks with the proper words.
