If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?
Don"t listen to people who say that young people today often think only of themselves. It"s not true at all.

Alice Hamilton, 17
I"m going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It"s going to be terrific —I"ll
spend the whole summer living in a tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I"m going to sleep under the stars.
It will be a nice sport, and I"ll be able to do something good at the same time!
Jason Moore, 18
This summer, I"m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and
sell them to families that are not very rich. They"ll teach me what to do, so I"ll help people and also have a chance
to learn how to build houses.
Trish Anderson, 16
I"m going to teach kids who have trouble reading. I"ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every
day, I"m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and
reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you looking forward to watching the matches? If
so, here are some suggestions you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas (赛场) have rules for audience which are written on the back of the tickets. Read
your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don"t
walk about when a game is being held. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other
rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don"t criticize (批评) the performance of players and
coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate (交流) with players. But you
should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them; don"t go on for
too long. After an excellent performance, applaud (鼓掌) warmly.
Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is being held and the players need to focus all their
attention. Different sports have different rules for the audience. Enjoying artistic gymnastics (艺术体操) requires
silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Using flash (闪光灯) to take photos is
quite disturbing to tennis players. Mobile phones can not be used in shooting centers.
To be a good spectator (观众), you should take time to learn the game — related rules and audience
manners of each event. |
| 1. According to the writer, it"s good manners to __________. |
| [ ] |
A. applaud for the excellent performance of players properly
B. complain about the bad performance of players from time to time
C. arrive at the sporting arenas just before the start of the event
D. walk here and there when a game is being held |
| 2. According to the passage, in which of the following events CAN"T we use flash to take photos? |

It"s easy to make you embarrassed (窘迫的). You may run into the wrong classroom and everyone
looks at you. Or you have a piece of cabbage in your teeth! What do the American and British teens find
embarrassing and how do they react (回应) to it?
One big embarrassing thing for them is answering personal questions. If you ask "How old are you?"
or "How much money do you make?", they"ll get angry. It"s polite to stop asking. If you meet someone
for the first time, talk about something not personal, such as your neighborhood or school. British people
love to talk about weather.
British and American teens feel embarrassed if they still rise their parents"money to buy clothes or
have to ask their parents before making a decision,because others will laugh at them.
In some situations, if you look bad in public, don"t worry. A child may forget and call his or her teacher
"mom" in class. A good laugh is a good way out of it! Sometimes you find that you don"t have enough
money when you pay at the supermarket. Just put some things back quickly. If you explain too much,
you"ll attract a lot of attention!
Honesty always works best. If you forget the name of a person, or don"t know how to clean the toilet
after using it at your friend"s home,just ask them about it. |
| 1．Which of the following questions may make British or American teens angry? |
| [ ] |
A．It"s cold, isn"t it?
B．How do you like your neighborhood?
C．How much pocket motley do you have?
D．What do you think of your school? |
| 2．You"d better _______ if you don"t have enough money to pay at the supermarket. |

not remember. But if we had 1 a book and had written in it an account (叙述) of what we did each day, we
should be able to give an answer to the question.
It"s the 2 in history. Many things have been 3 because we do not have any written account of
them. sometimes men did 4 the most important happenings in their country, but often the material was
destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all 5 the people of that time
and place did not know 6 to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China
4,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written records for those who lived 7 them. But we
know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not
learned to write.
Sometimes, of course, 8 the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have
heard about it from older people,and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most
important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many 9 . For most people are proud
to tell what their fathers did in the past. Such 10 stories are often very helpful where there are no written
records. |
