完形填空。                                                                      The House Fairy
     As young parents, my husband and I felt that at age 6 and 8, our children were old enough to be cleaning
their rooms and making their beds. But they thought   1   . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified
shouting were landing on   2   ears. I felt frustrated (沮丧的), and very often a whole afternoon"s scolding
would end with their   3   into tears, I realized I needed to   4   my methods of "mothering".
     One day while they were at school, I had great fun   5    their rooms. On their desks, in plain   6   , I left
the cards: "Dear Bill (the other card was   7   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I"m sure you
like it clean. Love, the House Fairy."   8   arriving back, the children were   9   excited to receive the little note
from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from
the House Fairy  10   for them, thanking them for their nice "gift" of a clean room and   11   asking them to play a certain violin   12   . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas   13  .
     Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little   14  : "If you can finish your homework today and  15  
it before dinner, I" d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight." Sometimes some colored
markers or other little items would be left in  16  of jobs especially well done the day  17 
     18   I can"t remember how long "the House Fairy" continued leaving her love notes. When they were no
longer age appropriate (合适的), we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the  19 
 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans
could be posted.
     We all benefited from and   20   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I
believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

     This August has seen athletes doing their sweaty part in the "Good Luck Beijing" sports events.
Some foreign athletes have commented on the passion of Chinese spectators (观众).
     Not all the spectators, however, came out looking exactly good. Girls holding umbrellas on beach
volleyball stands. Spectators crying sharply during the hockey matches. These can be unintended disturb.
To avoid them, we"d keep in mind some special manners:
     Beach volleyball
     1. Dress down for beach volleyball. It"s also a good time to show off your colorful top and sexy
shorts.
     2. Use protective cream for your skin. Wear sunglasses and bring something to drink. But don"t carry
something that blocks others" view.
     3. Look all you want at the body shapes around you, but save some attention for the players" skills.
     Archery & shooting
     1. Sit at the back or on either side of the field. For safety"s sake, do not risk out of there.
     2. Above all, keep quiet during the match. Put your cellphone on vibrate or turn it off.
     3. Do not use the flash on your camera, because it can disturb the athletes.
     4. When the athletes are aiming at the target, keep your voice down.
     Baseball, basketball & football
     1. Drinks in glass bottles or cans are not allowed.
     2. Don"t bring a whistle. Referees use them and you can puzzle the players.
     3. Players can be tense when taking a shot. Keep the cheering down at critical moments. Do not
use the camera flash.
     4. If you easily get nervous, bring some snacks. Keep your mouth moving to calm you down.
     Cycling & marathon
     1. Spectators should keep off the track. Control your pets.
     2. Cyclists or runners might look tired, sweaty and thirsty, but, do not hand them a bottle of water,
a cool towel or anything else. Any help from spectators can disqualify (剥夺资格)an athlete.
     3. Again, if a cyclist or runner falls, do not rush over to help. The best thing to do is to contact
medical personnel.
1. When watching beach volleyball matches, you should not ______.
A. bring anything to drink
B. use an umbrella on stands
C. wear sunglasses
D. look at the body shapes
2. You"d better not ______.
A. eat anything when watching matches
B. use camera flash when watching cycling
C. shout loudly when watching archery
D. stay where you sit when watching shooting
3. If you go to watch marathon, you can not _______.
A. bring your pets
B. give athletes something to drink
C. cry sharply
D. ask medical personnel to help athletes
4. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. how spectators disturb athletes
B. how spectators help athletes
C. dos and don"ts while watching matches
D. some rules for sports events

     Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they
are used. If fire didn"t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away.
Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn"t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not
warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier-and some do exist-is
not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are
therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.
     In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go
out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are
letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as
your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
     In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a
car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
     In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For
example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in
a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and
decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you
have to try to overcome it.
1. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if ______.
A. they were not well educated at school
B. they had never played with fire before
C. they had no sense of pain
D. they were fearful of pain
2. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because ______.
A. they have gained experience
B. they are warned of the danger and take quick action
C. they jump out of the way in time
D. they are calm in face of danger
3. What is implied but not stated in the passage?
A. Too much fear is harmful
B. Fear is always something helpful
C. Fear is something that can be avoided
D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life
4. The best title for this passage should be _______.
A. No Pains, No Gains
B. Pain and Actions
C. The Value of Fear
D. The Reason Why People Fear

                                            A letter to Edward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
     Dear Mr Expert:
     I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always Promised myself that I"d get out as soon as
possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I"m really proud of the independence
I"ve achieved.
     Here"s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like
mine-so much so that they make mine theirs.
     It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it
for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and
stay out forever.
     I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm-but this is
my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can"t I seem to ask my
friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
                                                Joan Edward"s reply to Joan
     Dear Joan:
     If your family didn"t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble
letting others know your needs now.
     And if you"ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛), you may
fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere
you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it"s okay to put your own needs first from
time to time.
     Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, "I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over."
1. We can learn from the first letter that Joan Edward _____.
A. lives away from her parents
B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr Expert quite well
D. hates her parents very much
2. We can infer from the first letter that _____.
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan"s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn"t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
3. According to Mr Expert, why can"t Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
4. The underlined word "conflict" in the second letter means _____.
A. dependent life
B. fierce fight
C. bad manners
D. painful feeling
5. The second letter suggests that Mr Expert _____.
A. is worried about Joan"s problem
B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C. advises Joan on how to refuse people
D. encourages Joan to be brave enough

     My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn"t know who I should talk
with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend"s house.
Though I knew I wouldn"t tell her about my parents" situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the
house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood.
Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
      I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would
be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I"d stay with him until the power was
restored. He was quite happy and said, "Great opportunity."
      "What is?" I asked.
     "To talk, you and I," he said. "To hold a private little meeting about what we"re going to do with your
mom and dad, and what we"re going to do with ourselves now that we"re in the situation we are in."
     "But we can"t do anything about it, Grandpa," I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could
share my feelings and someone who was in the same "boat" as I was .
     And that"s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in
the dark, we talked about our feeling and fears of life---from how fast things change, to how they sometimes
don"t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could
safely talked about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
      Suddenly, the lights all came back on. "Well," he said, " I guess that means you"ll want to go now. I really
like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!"

     In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing
that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one
person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
     I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied (依赖) on how well they
performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs.
In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly
forgotten.
     However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a
culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame
competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from
their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem
to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: " I may
have lost, but it doesn"t matter because I really didn"t try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the
belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their
worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are
based on the mistaken belief that one"s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with
others. Both are afraid of not being… Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解)
can we discover a …meaning in competition.
1. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Opinions about competition are different among people.
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.
2. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward.
B. It builds up a sense of duty.
C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It encourages individual efforts.
3. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competitionj most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
4. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?
 A. One"s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B. One"s success in competition needs great efforts.
C. One"s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One"s success is based on how hard he has tried.
5. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back.
B. Competition should be encouraged.
C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
