Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember thatmany summer days were spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say,some of the stories got quitefiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we wouldwear old Halloween masks so the to an alien was remarkable!I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a (35)with mischievous delight.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates theimagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45. What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.B. The ability to think creatively is invaluable.C. The ability to think creatively helps children develop.D. The ability to think creatively is a natural part of childhood.。

He was studying childbehaviour and wanted to (31) bad behavior back to its source. Derek tookchildren of different ages and put them in a(n) (32) empty room; there were only a few toys and a small (33) to lie down on.He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day. Forexample, he would play music at a loud or soft (34); adjust the lightingto be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. Hehad a(n) (35) of several hundred (36) stimuli.It was interesting to watch the children's behaviour (37) in response tothe changing environment. Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of(38) behaviour, but some of them created a serious (39)in the room and had to be removed.The reactions were all fascinating, and Derek recorded everything that happened. He is now t ryingto (40) the meaning of these results and the implications for childbehaviour. Hopefully, his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour.Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limitedto human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such ashappiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions wasmore limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent inall other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotionsare very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and isreprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knowsit has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression.In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves,lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting outagainst the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals inthe wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. Forexample, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, somedisplay pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many showlove. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capableof feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, andit's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made t hroughoutmuch of history?A. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. argumentativeC. narrativeD. descriptive43. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. The Limited Emotional Lives of AnimalsB. A Monopoly on Emotional BehaviorC. Emotions are UniversalD. Animals are People Too44. What is meant by "puppy-dog eyes" (Para 2)?A. Eyes that are full of emotion.B. Eyes that show no emotion.C. Eyes that belong to a puppy.D. Eyes that look like a puppy's.45. Which of the following does the author NOT present in order to support the topic?A. Popular opinion.B. Personal opinion.C. Scientific evidence.D. Biological research。

How empathy unfolds
1 The moment Hope, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears welled up in her own eyes and she crawled off to be comforted by her mother, as though it were she who had been hurt. And 15-month-old Michael went to get his own teddy bear for his crying friend Paul; when Paul kept crying, Michael retrieved Paul’s security blanket for him. Both these small acts of sympathy and caring were observed by mothers trained to record such incidents of empathy in action. The results of the study suggest that the roots of empathy can be traced to infancy. Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy.

Background information
➢ Emotional Intelligence is a book written by Daniel Goleman and published in 1995. The theory of emotional quotient (EQ) was based on earlier work done by other psychologists in the 1970s and 1980s – a quotient is the number that is the result of dividing one number by another, so EQ is a score for behaviour involving emotions. The EQ concept claims that emotional intelligence is as important as the traditionally recognized intellectual intelligence. A high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) does not represent all the elements for a successful career or life.

Warming Up
Script
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered to allied forces led by the United States. The allies fought many costly battles against Japan. The bloodiest and most deadly was the Battle of Okinawa. US officials said the battle was one reason they decided to use atomic weapons on Japan. They said the human cost of fighting was too high.

You may spoil your only son by excessive attentions, but you cannot love him more than you would all your other children if you had any. Parental love is not like bread that can be broken to pieces and split amongst the children in equal shares. If I am suffering now for my two sons, I am not suffering half for each of them but double ...” 9 “True ... true ... ” sighed the embarrassed husband, “but suppose a father has two sons at the front and he loses one of them, there is still one left to console him ... while ... ”

Warming Up
A small museum on a US Marine base in Okinawa shows pictures and historical objects from the battle. Mark Waycaster is the curator of the museum’s Battle of Okinawa area. He says Japanese General Mitsuru Ushijima’s plan was to hurt the morale and strength of the Americans. His goal was not to win. “His intentions is to bleed the American forces so bad that the United States sues for peace.” Many American and Japanese troops were killed or injured in Okinawa. Japanese forces fought fiercely. Some fought to the death, refusing to surrender even when they knew they could not win. This was one reason US officials gave for their decision to drop atomic bombs on the city of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

The author
Background information
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman’s brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds” — the rational and the emotional —and how they together shape our destiny.

Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy.

When we're adults, we longfor the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you wantto be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older,and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to questionwhy everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to actlike children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploringnature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45. What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.B. The ability to think creatively is invaluable.C. The ability to think creatively helps children develop.D. The ability to think creatively is a natural part of childhood.。

Warming Up
Now skim the text, and find the definition of empathy and sympathy in the passage. (Para. 3) Empathy originates from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.
Sympathy is felt for the general plight of another with no sharing of what that other person is feeling.
Warming Up
Now decide whether the feelings or actions described below are a result of sympathy or empathy.

Background information
➢ Emotional Intelligence is a book written by Daniel Goleman and published in 1995. The theory of emotional quotient (EQ) was based on earlier work done by other psychologists in the 1970s and 1980s – a quotient is the number that is the result of dividing one number by another, so EQ is a score for behaviour involving emotions. The EQ concept claims that emotional intelligence is as important as the traditionally recognized intellectual intelligence. A high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) does not represent all the elements for a successful career or life.

It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness,all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotionsare very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knowsit has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression.In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals inthe wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capableof feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, andit's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41.

War
1 The passengers had had to stop at a small station in order to continue their journey by the small oldfashioned local train. 2 At dawn, a bulky woman in deep mourning was hoisted in – almost like a shapeless bundle. Behind her, puffing and moaning, followed her husband – a tiny man, thin and weakly, looking shy and uneasy. 3 Having at last taken a seat he politely thanked the passengers who had helped his wife and made room for her. The wife pulled up her collar again to her eyes, so as to hide her face.

Warming Up
A small museum on a US Marine base in Okinawa shows pictures and historical objects from the battle. Mark Waycaster is the curator of the museum’s Battle of Okinawa area. He says Japanese General Mitsuru Ushijima’s plan was to hurt the morale and strength of the Americans. His goal was not to win. “His intentions is to bleed the American forces so bad that the United States sues for peace.” Many American and Japanese troops were killed or injured in Okinawa. Japanese forces fought fiercely. Some fought to the death, refusing to surrender even when they knew they could not win. This was one reason US officials gave for their decision to drop atomic bombs on the city of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B.
