But in actual fact sports and games can be of great value , especially to people who work with their brains most of the day , and should not be treated only as amusements. Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.   Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character　as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team end not for himself On the football field, he　will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.   [ ]21.Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

A． the ball which is to be played B. the speed and direction of the ball that is coming . a) the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on D. the arms and legs working together [ ]23.The detailed description of tennis in paragraph 2 imply that _________ A. the writer loves the sport very much B. tennis is one of the most popular games in the writer’s country C. the writer knows tennis better than any other sports D. the writer thinks tennis is a good example to express his view [ ]24. According to the writer , a child’s character __________. A. Is very useful in sports and games B. can be trained and improved in the sports and games C.has a deep effect on sports and games D. can be learned from books at school [ ]25.Usefulness,courage, discipline and love of their country are said to be some of __________.Children’s good qualities A. the subject children learn at school B. the sports and games children like to play C.the practical skills displayed by children in sports and games D.Children’s good qualities Passage Two People will do anything to see a free show_even  if it is a bad one, When the news got round that a variety show would be presented at our local cinema by the Bird Seed Company, we all rush to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come.. The only funny thing we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programmed . He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what the actually said was: “This is the Seed Bird Company.

Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of personality and Social psychology. "If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards." A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades. In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. [ ]31. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _____. A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B. the amount of monetary rewards for students' creativity C. the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D. the effects of external rewards on students' performance [ ]32. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their student? A. They have no doubts about them. B. They have doubts about them. C. They approve of them. D. They avoid talking about them. [ ]33. Which of the following can best raise students' creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B. Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C. Giving them rewards they really deserve. D. Giving them rewards they anticipate. [ ]34. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _____ . A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students. B. Punishment is more effective than rewarding. C. Failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards D. Discouraging the students' anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency [ ]35. The phrase "token economies" (Line 1, Para. 5) probably refers to _____. A. ways to develop economy B. approaches to solving problems C. systems of rewarding students D. methods of improving performance IV Wording Spelling (10 points, 0.5 point for each) 36. 庆祝 n. c 37. 致命的、毁灭性的 adj f 38. 潜力、潜能 n p 39. 严厉的，严格的  adj. s 40. 入侵，侵略 n. i 41. 承认;坦白，供认   vt./vi. c 42. 仪式，典礼 n. r   43. 发火花；2.闪耀 vi. s   44. 有生气的，有力的 adj. d 45. 缺点，欠缺  n. d   46. 和…结婚 vt.
