People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children keep healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have38effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been39at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad40of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main 41of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children42aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that43is everything. Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout44at other players or cheer when their child behaves45. As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is46or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 47, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to48this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches49should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better50. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to51themselves whether they win or not.

Section B (14%)

Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

China news, Nanjing, Nov. 14 – “People who suffer from mental illness are able to draw. Actually, they can draw very well,” said Guo Haiping, a contemporary artist in Nanjing.

Recently, Guo spent three months living with the mentally retarded people at Nanjing Zu Tang Shan Psychiatric Hospital. When he was there, he taught them how to draw pictures. In three months, he collected more than 100 paintings drawn by the mentally retarded people, the Yangtze Evening News reported.

The paintings shocked the artistic circle. This has raised a question to the normal people in society: how can we give up our prejudices against the mentally retarded people and view them from a totally new perspective ?

Before, the mentally retarded people in Nanjing had never touched painting brushes, nor did they know any painting techniques. Now, artists have begun to speak highly of their paintings. After seeing their works, Guo Haiping said this group of people and their works should “deserve more attention from society.”

“In China, no one believes that they can draw paintings. We have so many prejudices against this group of people and we really don’t know anything about their mysterious mental world,” Guo said.

At Nanjing Zu Tang Shan Psychiatric Hospital, Guo let the mentally retarded people see some paintings and gave them water color brushes, color pencils, oil chalk and clay. He told them they could do whatever they wanted with these materials. He didn’t teach them how to draw. He just encouraged them to pick up some of these materials and draw something. About 100 mentally retarded people in the hospital participated in the activity. During the three months’ stay in the hospital, Guo Haiping had seen them complete more than 300 works.

Guo Haiping also came to know about these mentally retarded people and their mental world through the event. He had collected all the patients’ paintings and made them into a book. Many works drawn by the patients will be exhibited in Beijing this month.

53. You can most probably read the passage in ________.

A. a newspaper B. a hospital guide C. a science book D. a medicine book

54. The underlined word “mentally retarded” means ______.

A. depressed B. talented C. cautious D. slow-minded

55. Nobody in China believes the mentally retarded people can draw paintings because _______.

A. they think the mentally retarded people’s works are boring

B. the mentally retarded people really have no such special ability

C. they know little about the mentally retarded people’s mental world

D. the mentally retarded people’s works have never been collected by artists

（B）

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

56. The main purpose of this passage is to.

A. persuade the readers to make a commitment

B. explain to the readers what personal values are

C. inform the readers how to be truly happy

D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices

57. According to the passage, living by your being values, you would.

A. gain a lot of power B.formpositive personality C. seek all human virtues D. fill your own needs

58. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means.

A. a feeling of emptiness B. an absence of one’s mind

C. a break of continuity D. a state of confusion

59. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Having values are better than being values.

B. A calm person does not choose to complain.

C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.

D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.
