One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomachaches. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.
What caused so much pain? Sports day! Sports day might be necessary at some schools, 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 nightmare(噩梦). Even for those who enjoy running but fall behind in front of so many students and their parents, it can prove a disaster.
Why do we put our children through the painful and difficult event every year? Some may say competition is helpful to build character; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in pain.
Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm(热情), lots of shouting — and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes.
I wish that sports day could be given up or replaced(代替) with some other events. 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.What can we learn about the writer’s son from Paragraph 1?
| A．He talked with some mothers. |
| B．Something was wrong with his stomach. |
| C．He had difficulty in sleeping. |
| D．He comforted his classmates. |
Sports day is still a yearly event in this school probably because __________.
| A．this is a competitive city school |
| B．children enjoy watching sports |
| C．it helps children lose weight |
| D．it is a tradition of the school |
What does the writer think about team games?
| A．They should include more stressful races. |
| B．They are less fun for those who love running. |
| C．They should be given up at primary school. |
| D．They are acceptable only to some children. |
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I couldn’t wait to see his new house and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me if I didn’t get A’s in my exams and unhappy with my friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think out things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this friendly and interesting person now? What had made him so critical before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And I’m happy to be with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.Why did the writer feel bitter(痛苦) about her father when she was young?

| A．the writer’s son |

These days the subject of safety on campus is talked about quite often. Some students’ mobile photos are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running motorbikes or cars.
These problems are common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students don’t take care of their own things. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fighting. And thirdly, the campus guards don’t carry on their duties well..
In order to have a safe campus, all the students should be very careful about their own things. They should also mind their behaviors and act politely. The campus guards are supposed to be devoted（致力于）to the safety on campus, and it is their duty to safeguard a safe campus to help provide a good environment for the students.According to the passage, some students’ _________ are lost.

Most people are writing blogs (博客). Others are reading them. The word “ blog” is a short way of saying Web log almost like QQ Zone (空间).

A blog has both good and bad points, of course. People choose to write what they think in blogs, for they know that their friends will read what they write.
