One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers.That morning, my 11?year?old son had stomach pains, retching (干嘔) into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.

What caused so much pain? Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highly?competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩夢).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.

Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.

Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.

I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less?competitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.

1.What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?

A.He talked with some mothers.

B.He comforted his classmates.

C.He had difficulty in sleeping.

D.He suffered from stomachache.

2.Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because________.

A.this is an independent school

B.it is a tradition of the school

C.it helps children lose weight

D.children enjoy watching sports

3.What does the author think about team games?

A.They should include more stressful races.

B.They are acceptable to different children.

C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.

D.They are less fun for those who love running.

4.What is the author's attitude towards sports day?

A.Critical. B.Neutral.

C.Positive. D.Ambiguous.

Dear Tom,

I’m glad to hear that you are considering make up with Peter. If I am you, I would consider a bike as a birthday present for him.

As far as I know it, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercises by riding a bike to build up his body. In the meanwhile, you can often go outing by bike together, which is helpfully in rebuilding your friendship. Beside, taking a bike is an environmentally-friendly means of transport. It’s convenient him to get around as well.

Apart from giving him the gift, you can also adopt other means, such as traveling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping. No matter how you do, being sincere was the most important. I really hope that you can be good friends forever.

Best wishes!

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society.Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment.Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.

However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”， efficiency comes with a price.When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes.With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.

With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done.However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example, many handicrafts (手工藝品) are now produced in a factory.

Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.

Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old.

It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on people's attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.

1.The underlined word “gadgets” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to“________”.

A.tools B.messages

C.barriers D.skills

2.Compared with home?made handicrafts, machine?made products ________.

A.lack great accuracy

B.lack the personal touch

C.are of high value

D.are quite welcome

3.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?

A.It can destroy old traditions.

B.It can lead to social progress.

C.It can be used to correct mistakes.

D.It can be used to preserve old products.

4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

A.Progress can suit the needs of daily life.

B.People review the past with great regret.

C.Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.

D.People's attitude decides the use of technology.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.

1.The first paragraph tells us ________.

A. what the feeling of having no friends is

B. we always need friends around us

C. making friends is a need in people’s life

D. we need to be alone in our life
