Passage 1
Criticism has been increasing for years about the lack of civility on the part of some parents who take an intense interest in their youngsters’sporting activities. Evidence is seen in a recent headline in Christian Science Monitor: “Stiffer Penalties for Head-Butting the Referee”. The article goes on to detail how adults of the baby boomer generation seem prone(易于) to express their distress at official rulings in youth sports through physical attacks on officials.
It’s apparently not unknown for a referee to face a drawn gun or to be run off the
road following a game. As to why there is increasing violence on the part of parents, it is suggested that the trend reflects a total increase in sports violence among player, coaches and fans. Rage is a fairly route thing on the roads, in offices, in schools and seemingly anywhere you turn today.
At the same time, though society is increasingly “zero-tolerant”of misbehavior of any sort, be it real, perceived or ever threatened. Kids barely out of kindergarten become media sensations as they face serious charges for threats or other conduct that might have been dismissed with a scolding in an earlier era. So it shouldn’t come as any great surprise that punishments now await those who attack sports officials. Fourteen states now have specific laws protecting sports officials, and another 14 states are preparing similar rules to enforce spectator conduct.
Some youth leagues now require parents to sign “ good-behavior” agreements if they are to attend events. But organizations representing officials are pushing for more legislative protections. What might have been a wrist-slapping misdemeanor is now a serious thing, with violators of new laws facing as many as three years in prison and stiff fines. It seems either that or players, coaches and fans will be left to judge their own games.
1. What is discussed in the passage
A.Young players tending to attack sports officials
B.Parents of young players using violence on sports officials.
C.Sports officials losing their jobs because of violence.
D.Youngsters unwilling to listen to their parents.
2. Why are some parents becoming violent toward referees
E.Because they have more money than before.
F.Because they are baby boomers.
G.Because they love their children.
H.Because they have seen others use violence.
3. What do some youth leagues ask parents to do
I.To pay money when watching games.
J.To use less violence while watching games.
K.To ask their children to obey the rules.
L.To promise before watching a game not to use violence.
4. According to the writer, what might happen if the situation remains unimproved
M.Fewer people would like to watch games.
N.Fewer youngsters would like to play games.
O.Fewer referees would like to continue their jobs.
P.Less money would be earned by the leagues.
5. Which of the following misbehaviors best explains the word “ wrist-slapping”
(underlined in Paragraph 4)
A. Abusing
B. Beating
C. Hitting
D. Striking
Passage 2
Most Americans will tell you that character education in school is a good idea.
According to pollsters, 90% of us want schools to teacher core moral values. But what should “character education” look like And more important, does it work Take a look at Traut Core Knowledge School in Fort Collins, Colorado. Traut Core is a public school with a waiting list of 500 students. A strong focus on 12 core values throughout the school culture has contributed to high academic achievement at Traut Core.
The school now ranks first in reading and in the top five in math out of the 26 schools in the district.
Private schools are also on the list. The Montrose School in Natick, Massachusetts has daily homerooms that focus on character discussion and leadership, and the school provides many opportunities for service to others. At Montrose, moral development is inseparable from academic achievement.
Wake County Public School in North Carolina is a case study in how to get comprehensive character education programs going in every school. Beginning in 1992, the district appointed a task force with broad representation from the community. Public meetings were held, surveys sent out, and other efforts made to ensure that character education in the schools would be built on the shared moral values of the citizens in this large and diverse district.
Today, character education is part of the mission of every Wake County school.
The district provides in-service training and resources for teachers, encourages parental involvement and evaluates the results.
Higher academic achievement, lower dropout rates, fewer discipline problems,
a more positive and caring school environment-who doesn’t want schools like these
And who wouldn’t like to see students who are more caring, respectful, honest and responsible

Passage 3
We received your letter dated 2nd July, expressing your dissatisfaction with the present level of our sales in Nigeria. We shall try to explain as briefly as possible how it is that our competitors are doing so well so that you may see why it is that we are not. We shall also suggest ways of improving the present situation. Our difficulties may be summarized as follows.
Our competitors pay for extensive advertising in newspapers and magazines that reach every corner of Nigeria. We receive no financial help for advertising and do not receive sufficient commission (佣金) to pay for it ourselves.
The company referred to in your letter sent a two-man team on a tour of six provinces in a specially equipped lorry containing the models they wished to publicize. Their agent had arranged displays in the towns they were due to visit and announced them in the local press. With such backing from the manufacturer, high sales are inevitable!
What sells well in Europe does not necessarily sell well elsewhere. Our competitors know this and plan accordingly. They give maximum publicity to three or four models that are sure to sell well here. We would suggest that you do the same and concentrate on the 98cc Speedy, the 250cc Hunter and the 350cc Hawk.
In spite of the excellent containership(集装箱船) service between England and West Africa, we still have to wait far too long for orders to be shipped. Once they have placed an order, customers are impatient to receive it. Our present commission of 10% does not allow us to undertake sales tours in other regions. Nigeria covers an area of over 350,000 square miles and our present commission will not cover the expense of such trips.
1. What’s the purpose of writing this letter
A.To express the dissatisfaction with the sales in Nigeria.

K.we have publicized our models on sales tours
L.we think it is no use advertising there
to the author, what sells well in Europe________________________.
A. sells well elsewhere
B. does not sell well elsewhere
C. may not sell well elsewhere

Passage 4
Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show that we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “No “ more often than not, Of course, deciding to have no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.
As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no matter how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.
No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life Having worked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really do love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love Next time you feel that you have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feelings by bringing home gifts, remember that we can’t buy our children’s affections. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word These are things every parent can provide.
