     Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries
play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true that international
contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some
truth in both arguments,   but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that
sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of
athletes,   but the Games were also destroyed by incidents caused mainly by minor national competition.
     One country received its secondplace medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There had been
noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,   as the losers objected to the final decisions.They were
convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents" victory was
unfair.Their manager was quite angry when he said: "This wasn"t hockey.Hockey_and_the_International_
Hockey_Federation_are_finished." The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could
result in the disorder of the team for at least three years.
     The American basketball team announced that they would not give up first place to Russia,   after a
disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United
States had won,   by a single point,   but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A
Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,   and another player popped it
into the basket.It was the first time the U. S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.Experts discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
     Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of
the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals,   or in nonnational terms,   might be
too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.

1. According to the author,   recent Olympic Games have ________.
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. caused only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

2. What did the manager mean by saying,   "…Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are
    finished."?
A. His team would no longer take part in international games.
B. Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D. The Federation should not exist.

3. The basketball example implied that ________.
A. too much patriotism was shown in the incident
B. the announcement to make the match long was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D. the American team was right in receiving the silver medals

4. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.

     Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the
classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
     What to Expect
     The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed
at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as
well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
     Accommodation Zones
     Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2,   3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts
do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的).
Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel
in London by Underground.
     Meal Plans Available
     ◇ Continental Breakfast
     ◇ Breakfast and Dinner
     ◇ Breakfast,   Packed Lunch and Dinner
     It"s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your
accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice,   cereal(谷物类
食品),   bread and tea or coffee. Cheese,   fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental
Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit
and coffee.
      Friends
      If you wish to invite a friend over to visit,   you must first ask your host"s permission.You have no
right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
      SelfCatering Accommodation in Private Homes
      Accommodation on a roomonly basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a
main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for
the longstay student.However,   it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay
and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

1. The passage is probably written for________.
A. hosts willing to receive foreign students
B. foreigners hoping to build British culture
C. travellers planning to visit families in London
D. English learners applying to live in English homes

2. Which of the following will the host provide?
A. Room cleaning.  
B. Medical care.
C. Free transport.  
D. Physical training.

     George Prochnik would like the world to_put_a_sock_in_it.He makes his case in a new book, 
 Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):
     "We"ve become so accustomed to noise,   there"s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that
silence might be beneficial.If you tell someone to be quiet,   you sound like an old man.But it"s never
been more important to find continuing quiet.Silence focuses us,   improves our health,   and is a key
to lasting peace and satisfaction."
     "We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a
little.During a Japanese tea ceremony,   the smallest sounds become a kind of art-the spoons making
a light ringing sound on a bowl,   the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor."
     "Deaf people are very attentive(专注的)in almost every aspect of life.If two deaf people are
walking together,   using sign language,   they constantly watch out for each other and protect each
other by paying steady attention to the other.They are connected yet also fully aware of their
surroundings.Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them.If we remove the
powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise,   we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us-of
little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps,   of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声).It"s astonishing
how beautiful things sound when you can really listen."

1. What does the phrase "to put a sock in it" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. to be quiet                  
B. to be colorful
C. to be full of love            
D. to be attentive to someone

2. What does Prochnik say about us?
A. We are used to quietness.
B. We have to put up with noise.
C. We do not think silence to be beneficial.
D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available.

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to Prochnik?
A. We need more sounds in our lives.
B. There is  nothing to be learned from the deaf.
C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is.
D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony.

4. It can be inferred from the text that________.
A. we can benefit a lot from old people
B. it is a good idea to use sign language
C. there is no escape from the world of sound
D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

     A piece of advice that I often receive is "as long as you do your best". I believe that this is good
advice _1__ it tells me that they trust my __2__ and will respect my decisions,  even if they are the

__4__ certain standards and try to __5__ goals that are unattainable. __6__, I can just worry about
doing the best I can. It is possible that I may have a __7__ that is not the highest paying or the most
respectable. But as long as I do the job to the best of my ability,   I will feel like I have accomplished
__8__. This is good because many kids have to live up to expectations that they can"t attain,   or do
something that they don"t really __9__ in order to make their parents 10  .
     The   11   with saying "as long as you do your best" is that when I know I could have done a better
