Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need tobe confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. 21．Parents in China, according to this passage, _______. A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their children C. have some problems in educating their children correctly D. are too poor to educate their children 22．The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______. A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children B. the education system C. children’s skills D. children’s hobbies 23．Doing some cooking at home helps children ______. A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to become strong and fat C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that they are clever 24．According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______. A. broken radios and television sets are useful B. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life C. an engineer must fix many broken radios D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios B Tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014. Tickets will range in price from ￡ 58 for first-round matches to ￡ 632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for ￡15． The Price of Football - World Cup 2014 Items Prices Items Prices Ticket ￡58-￡112 Final ticket 281-￡632 Sun cream ￡9.50 T-shirt ￡13 McDonald’s meal ￡11 Water ￡1.28 Imported beer ￡3.83 Domestic beer ￡1.91 Coffee ￡2.55 Average dinner ￡29 “It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.” According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower． All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase （ 阶 段 ） will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo． A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between￡46 and￡797 a night, while packages range from￡2,999 to￡14,999． 25．How much should a Brazilian student pay for the opening match? A．￡15 B．￡58 C．￡112 D．￡632 26．From the passage we know that Thierry Weil_______. A．feels proud of what they achieved in South Africa 2010 B．feels worried about the sales of the tickets for Brazil 2014 C．holds the belief that Brazil 2014 will be the greatest world cup D．believes that more fans will attend Brazil 2014 than South Africa 2010 27．What will FIFA do if there are not enough tickets available for requests before Oct.10, 2013? A．They will sell the spare tickets to the applicants． B．They will sell on a first-come, first-served basis． C．They will choose the applicants based on a random selection draw． D．They will sell them the tickets to be sold on Dec.8． C SPORTS EVENTS BASKETBALL: Central Sports Centre.

Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb( 大 拇 指 ). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster （怪物）is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not. In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project. 32．A greenhorn now refers to ____________. A. a person who is new in a job B. a new soldier. C. a young horse D. a cow without horns 33．A person with a green thumb is a person _______. A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are of green color C. whose garden is greener than others’ D. who is younger than his neighbors 34．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ____. A. he sees a dangerous animal B. he reads a sad play C. his friend gets a prize that he wants D. he can't get something 35．The main idea of the passage is ________. A. a greenhorn B. a green thumb C. the Green Revolution D. the word “green” and its story 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Every one complains（抱怨）. Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world, you still complain sometimes. Sometimes you complain: without even realizing it, but rarely is it ever helpful. 36．Here are some tips to stop complaint and give up the negative thoughts:37 ． When you find yourself thinking or saying a negative comment about something or someone, stop and force yourself to say something positive instead. Seek the help of a cheerful friend to change you when you complain and help you to see the positive in the situation. Make a list of things that we are grateful for. We often complain about the things we don't have without noticing those things we already have. Be grateful for what we have in our life because we are lucky simply for being ourselves. 38． Learn to adapt to the changes. There are many things we can't change.39． Always find the positive side of each situation, regardless of however difficult the situation is.
