All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season.
People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.
Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time．
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character(性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面).

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of "school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year-round schools don"t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year.
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them “summer school” could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp,” “extra time” and “hands-on learning.”
小题1:According to the first paragraph，the summer learning gap ____| A．helps children to gain weight | | B．leads children to work harder | | C．improves children"s memories | | D．affects children"s regular studies |
小题2:Compared to traditional schools，students in the year-round ones _____| A．perform better and have more learning gains | | B．have much less time for relaxation every year | | C．have generally the same number of class days | | D．hold more classes with more free weeks off |
小题3:Which of the following statements is true?| A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation. | | B．Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap. | | C．There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar． | | D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation. |
小题4:Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?| A．They cherish the children"s rights of freedom very much. | | B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”． | | C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap. | | D．They can"t afford to the further study during the vacation. |
小题5:What would be the best title of this passage? | A．Opening Summer Camps | | B．Forbidding Summer Schools | | C．Spreading Year-Round Education | | D．Minding the Summer Learning Cap |

Hidden in a small street in the south end of Springfield, not far from buildings torn apart by the tornado（龙卷风） earlier this year, Frigo’s is an Italian restaurant right in our own backyard.
Frigo’s is not a tiny place. It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.
There’s some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic（大蒜）. Above the largest refrigerator case, there’s a chalk board covered with desriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.
I stepped into Frigo’s almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo’s is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.
I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost＄4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was＄4.99 and didn’t have salad dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great—great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.
I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe’s Favorite (＄5.25-＄6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.
I have a feeling that I’ll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo’s soon.
小题1: Who would be most likely to go to eat at Frigo’s?| A．People who want to eat quietly in a nice restaurant. | | B．People who want to enjoy home-made food | | C．People who like traditional American food | | D．People who are fond of Italian food |
小题2: Which of the following cannot be seen at Frigo’s?| A．A chalk board covered with descriptions of sandwiches | | B．Refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts | | C．Shelves filled with olives and different kinds of pasta | | D．Customers eating happily around tables |
小题3:How much did the writer pay for his first meal at Frigo’s?| A．＄4.75 | B．＄5.25 | C．＄9.74 | D．＄4.99 |
小题4:We can infer that “Joe’s Favorite” and “Dante” are the names of .| A．sandwiches | B．salads | C．cheese | D．peppers |
小题5:We can infer from the passage that the writer .| A．seldom eats out in a restaurant with his family | | B．feels very happy that be has found Frigo’s | | C．dislikes eating sandwiches | | D．lives a very relaxing life |

Never before had I imagined I should have the opportunity to live with so many girls．Would they 36 such a single “Hi” from me? I was about to greet my new roommates， 37 they did not seem to have the same 38 attention that I had．They just dealt with their own 39 ， sorting out their clothes，and making arrangements for their university life．Thus tranquility（宁静）
became the 40 atmosphere in the dormitory．
To my surprise， 41 such a situation，I did not feel a sense of 42 ．With time going on，we got to know each other deeper．I was 43 to find that in deep soul we all had great dreams and belonged to the same 44 ．
However，not long before the 45 was disturbed by my own upset of mind for study pressure．What I was 46 about seemed to have 47 to do with them and what they were doing and talking about seemed so far away from me．However，one incident changed my 48 and made me treasure this kind of 49 better and more confident in our friendship．
One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 50 ．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 51 a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 52 of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 53 light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
I know 54 that we all like tranquility，both in environment and in our mind．It is the care that 55 all the misunderstandings and unpleasantness．
