One particular 23 with Coach John changed my life forever. A friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for a new bike, new clothes and the 24 of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to 25 up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing. When I told John, he was 26 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” He shouted. “Your 27 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head 28 , trying to think of the right 29 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 30 in me. “How much are you going to make at this job, son?” He asked. “3.5 dollars an hour,” I replied. “Well,” he asked, “is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?” That simple question made 31 for me the difference between 32 something at once and having a 33 .

Parkour is a sport with the aim of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using chiefly the abilities of the human body. It’s more similar to martial arts (武术) than to a sport. Parkour focuses on how any obstacle is dealt with, whether the obstacle is either physical or mental. Inspiration for parkour came from the “Natural Method of Physical Culture” developed by Georges Hebert in the early twentieth century. French soldiers in Vietnam were inspired by Heber’s work and created what is now known as parcours du combatant (障碍训练课程). David Belle, who was introduced to this method by his father Raymond Belle, a Vietnamese soldier who had practiced it, had taken part in activities such as martial arts and gymnastics, and sought to apply his athletic skill in a manner that would have practical use in life. After moving to Lisses, David Belle continued his journey with others. “From then on we developed,” says Sebastien Foucan, who helped to spread parkour, “and really the whole town was there for us; there for parkour.” Over the years as devoted practitioners (实践者) improved their skills, their moves continued to grow in scale, so that building-to-building jumps and drops of over a storey(楼层) became common in media description, causing much misunderstanding on the nature of parkour.” Although many practitioners say parkour isn’t an extreme sport, it does carry risk with it. The practice of running, jumping, and leaping from a variety of urban structures (roof tops, staircases, raised surfaces, walls, etc.) and landing on concrete, of course, carries the potential for injury. Some of the most common injuries include sprained (扭伤的) ankles and injuries to the knees. According to one practitioner, “One of the biggest differences between parkour and other so-called ‘extreme’ sports is that it is not concerned only with physical skills, but also with one’s mental and spiritual pleasure.” 1. The second paragraph is mainly about _______. A. Belle’s devotion to parkour B. the origin of parkour C. the use of parkour during wartime D. the practical use of parkour in life 2. What do we know about David Belle? A. He used to be a French soldier in Vietnam. B. His attitude toward Hebert’s work was negative. C. He and Foucan held different views on parkour. D. He attempted to make full use of his athletic skill in life. 3. What do we infer from the passage? A. The practitioners think parkour is worth the risk. B. Parkour needs specially designed training places. C. The practitioners are often blamed by the media. D. Parkour was developed in the early twentieth century. 4. Parkour requires _______. A. only the abilities of human body B. move from one point to another C. the ability to deal with mental problems D. the ability to remove obstacles physically and mentally 5. According to the passage, which of the following is parkour? A. B. C. D. |

It might understand more than you think. A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word—learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn"t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can"t talk back. Still, it wouldn"t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 56. What’s the best title of the passage? (No more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 57. The underlined words “a border collie” in Paragraph 2 refer to _______________. (No more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________ 58. Why does Rico seem smarter than the average dog? (No more than 15 words) __________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the writer advise us to do by saying “it wouldn"t hurt to sweet--talk...”? (No more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________ 60.

My legs were too short to reach the floor from up there on the big chair. I was so afraid. My legs started to shake. It was the first time I had been to the principal’s(校长的) office. And I knew what she was going to ask me. Why had I been running on the concrete(混凝土) in the playground? Why hadn’t I followed the school rules? The principal’s secretary was sitting at her desk. She kept asking me questions like whether I liked school and what grade I was in. I didn’t want to talk to her, so I just gave one-word answers. Then she asked what my dad did. But I didn’t really know what he did, so I made something up. “He plays basketball for the Boston Celtics,” I said. The secretary just looked at me, and said nothing more. Just then, the door to the principal’s office opened. There she was, the woman that everyone called “the witch”. Was she really that bad? I was surprised to see her office walls were bright yellow, and there were some nice pictures on the desk. She told me about the pictures. I was surprised that she had a family and a kid, just like me. Then she asked how my family was. It turned out that she had known me since I was only a few weeks old. I was happy to hear that. If she knew my mum, then I wouldn’t get into much trouble. She cleaned the cut on my knee and told me to be more careful. She also told me about the rules of the playground.
