One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I 16 the car by the roadside, across the street from where she worked, and 17 her.
As I looked outside the car window 18 my right, there was a small park 19 I saw a little boy around two years old, 20 freely on the grass as his mother watched him from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face 21 he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up and without 22 run as fast as he could again, still with a smile on his face, as if 23 had happened.
However, with kids (especially at the early age)，when they fall down, they don’t perceive their falling down as a 24 , but instead, they treat it as a learning experience, as just another 25 . They feel compelled to try and try again 26 they succeed. The answer must be that they have not 27 “falling down” with the word “failure” yet. Thus they don’t know how to feel the state which 28 failure. What’s more, they probably think that it is perfectly Okay to fall down, and that it’s not 29 to do so. In other words, they give themselves 30 to make mistakes subconsciously. Thus they remain 31 .
While I was touched by the boy’s persistence, I was 32 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each 33 , he looked so confident and so natural. No 34 of fear, nervousness, or being discouraged — as if he didn’t 35 the world around him. His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.

What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 — the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength — in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers
included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit —making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (貧窮). In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同時) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (強調(diào)) international poverty and debt.
What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength”?
A. The festival has achieved growing success.
B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.
B. Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.
C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.
A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London
C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D. some superstars are concerned about global poverty
What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to have a good time
B. Charity events around the world
C. The Glastonbury Festival
D. Superstars’ performances in charity events

For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.
As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.
However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.
That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信貸緊縮) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
1.. The passage mainly tells us something about
A. the past and present of British pubs B. the decline of British pubs
C. the long history of British pubs D. the importance of British pubs
2.. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?
A. The credit crunch. B. The present closing time.
C. The ban of smoking. D. Having no spare money.
3... We can infer from the passage that
A. British people used to like drinking slowly
B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems
C. binge drinking means drinking less beer
D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking
4.. We can see from the last paragraph that the author ________
A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs
B. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs
C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems
D. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need
Finding the right school for your child is a process. You will want to read about the school, talk to any friends who are involved in the school and, most important of all, visit the school.
The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet. We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小冊子), the fee structure and an application. The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.
In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour, which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum(課程).
This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one. Every school has a different “school climate.” If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each “feels” different. You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.
●The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.
●Children must be three years old by August 31st.
●We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine. At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.
●There are scattered(零散的) openings available throughout the program due to attrition(學生流失). Once an opening occurs, students spend a day at ICS, part of which includes admission testing.
