                                 C

Dr Julie Coulton, a British psychologist,focuses her research on the ex?traordinary function of the play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of Helsinki shows that pla?ying outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.

Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and at the same time, to ask schools and kindergar?tens to assure the small playground outside. Recent statistics (數(shù)據(jù))and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent out?side.

As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses. Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do to make their children eat healthy and balanced.

Children need a space where to develop their creativity and parents should encourage them all the time. Too many rules hold back the children's personality and creativity and prevent them developing the desire to know, to find out, to learn.

If you tell your child so many times : " Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there... ,,, he will lose the desire to do something, even any?thing. Parents must watch their children without suffocating(窒息)them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically ex?plain them your reasons and they will understand.

Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take deci?sions. Playing is connected to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to express their feelings.

9. What is worrying the scientists is that    . •

A.  most parents pay no attention to their children's playing

B.  most schools and kindergartens have no playgrounds

C.  most parents encourage their children to watch TV or go surfing

D.  most children spend more time on TV or the Internet than on playing outside

 10.  Children who watch TV or surf the Internet too much may suffer all the

following EXCEPT_________ .

A. eye problems                  B. weight problems

C. lack of creativity            D. lack of interest in their lessons

11.  The author advises, us_____ .

  A.  to allow children to do whatever we want them to do

B.  never to forbid children to do anything they want to do

C.  to explain why when you don't let children do something

D.  to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety

12.  Which would be the best title for this passage? ^C3f

  A.  How to develop the brain of your children better

 In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain quali?ties(品盾)of character,especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

  Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

  At the same time,however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(過錯)in others. He notices their good points. In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

  There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默),too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how to share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

  When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

(   ) 1. In the opinion of the writer,which of the following qualities is the most important in choosing a friend?

  One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know,you would be submerged(淹沒)in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

  The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again!Of course,we spent lots of time arranging the trip,but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

  The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(領(lǐng)事館),one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in or?der to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a ho?tel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

  Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest,was a rare gift for the fresh air and absolute silence,beautiful views, hospitable(好客的)hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this,we were very lucky that our mistress was English. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

  Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide?book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So,if you're also planning a "single" trip,don't forget to take an English-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue. (   ) 5. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

A.     Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.

B.     Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.

C.     Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

D.     Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

(   ) 6. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains      

A.     the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome

B.     the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

C.     what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip

D.     the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

(   ) 7. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?

A.     Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?

B.     Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?

C.     How did the author prepare for his trip?

D.     What tools did the author use for his traveling?
(   ) 8. From the text we can know the author      

A.     enjoys traveling everywhere in the world

B.     likes being accompanied by tour guides
