A shop owner told me a story, that moved people in the neighborhood deep. One day, a hungry homeless dog came and the owner gave it up some food to eat. To his surprise, it comes to his shop whenever he opens a door. The owner has gradually realized that it doesn’t come for food and repays him. Every day, it sits besides the goods outside the shop and acts for a guide. When customer come near, it barks to remind the owner come out to serve them. Thus, the dog has found a home and the owner had a faithful employee.

The Japanese like parties.From ancient times, a party becomes enlivened (活潑) when someone starts singing and others keep applauding.Having such a custom, the Japanese can easily sing in front of others without feeling embarrassed.This seems to be one of the reasons that karaoke has been largely accepted in Japanese society.

It is now widely recognized that the use of karaoke started at a snack bar in Kobe City, one of the three biggest cities in Japan.It is said that when a guitarist could not come to perform at the bar due to illness, the owner of the bar prepared tapes of accompaniment recordings, and people enjoyed singing to the tapes.

It was at that time that karaoke appeared.Holding a microphone and singing a song to the accompaniment of an “orchestra (管弦樂隊(duì))”， you can feel like a professional singer.For soldiers living in a stressful society, there is no other entertainment activity that can make them feel so refreshed.

It is a typical way to relax for Japanese businessmen.They use it to take away their stress after work.However, there is an obstacle to this: since most Japanese houses are still made of wood, it would be very annoying to the neighbors to sing into a microphone at night.Seizing upon the opportunity, businessmen created the karaoke box, a roadside facility containing karaoke equipment.Karaoke boxes are soundproofed rooms, closed with a door, placed on roadsides where people can sing.The first “Karaoke box” was placed in a rice camp in the countryside in 1984.It was built from a converted freight car (改裝的貨運(yùn)車).Now, the karaoke boom has even spread abroad and it has also been attracting the attention of the countries trying to improve their literacy rate (識(shí)字率) as a good educational tool.

One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers.That morning, my 11yearold son had stomach pains, retching (干嘔) into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.

What caused so much pain? Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highlycompetitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩夢(mèng)).Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.

Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.

Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.

I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other lesscompetitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.

【1】What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?

A.He talked with some mothers.

B.He comforted his classmates.

C.He had difficulty in sleeping.

D.He suffered from stomachache.

【2】Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because________.

A.this is an independent school

B.it is a tradition of the school

C.it helps children lose weight

D.children enjoy watching sports

【3】What does the author think about team games?

A.They should include more stressful races.

B.They are acceptable to different children.

C.They should be abandoned at primary schools.

D.They are less fun for those who love running.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards sports day?

A.Critical. B.Neutral.

C.Positive. D.Ambiguous.

One neighbor of my is aunty Anabel. Everyone in the neighborhood knows her for the “queen of the neighborhood”. You may ask what. Well, it’s because she used to cooking for the entire neighborhood whenever there was festival. I remember the day that Mr. Carter celeberated his 90th birthday. In order to make sure everyone knew about it, he made Mrs. Carter bake small cookies. Then he walked around and give every house one cookie. Believe it or not, but it was an invitation. As soon as my aunty heard the news, she got all neighbor together and started a huge barbecue party for him. There wasn’t one person who willing stayed home that day.
