I have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.

At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.

My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.

Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.

I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”

I am all for parent spectators cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.

If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.

1.Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author　 .

A. told her to shut up　　 B. found another seat

C. asked Grace for help　　 D. refused to talk to her

2.In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel　 .

A. helpless　　 B. impatient　　 C. scared　　 D. ashamed

3.The author is against parent spectators　　 .

A. keeping silent all the time　　 B. saying unpleasant words

C. cheering on the players　　 D. leaving during halftime

4.Who are the intended readers of the text?

A. Parents.　　 B. Teenage players.　　 C. Soccer spectators.　　 D. Coaches.

To help make up for sleep lost during marathon night flights, migrating( 迁徙 ) birds take hundreds of power nap(小睡) during the day, each lasting a few seconds.

Every autumn, Swainson’s thrushes(画眉) fly up to 3,000 miles from their breeding grounds in northern Canada and Alaska to winter in Central and South America. Come spring, the birds make the long trip back.

The birds fly mostly at night and often for long hours at a time, leaving little time for sleep. So to get through these tiresome periods, thrushes, during autumn and spring when the birds are normally migrating, change their sleep patterns, staying awake at night and resting during day. But instead of sleeping for a long period at a time, the birds took several naps a day, each one lasting only 9 seconds on average.

The thrushes also mixed up their shut-eye sessions with two other forms of sleep. In one, called unilateral eye closure, or UEC, the birds rested one eye and one half of their brains while their other eye and half brain remained open and active, protecting them from danger.

The birds also occasionally slipped into another state, one that any college student who has ever been stuck in a boring lecture can relate to. Called drownsiness( 睡 意 ), this state is characterized by a partial shutting of both eyes that still allows for some visual processing.

“In terms of quality, drowsiness may be less useful than normal sleep, but it may also be safer.” said Fuchs.

What’s interesting is that even animals should make up for sleep loss. That a need for sleep cannot be lost even in these birds means the importance of sleep for many, if not all, animals, not to mention human.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Migrating Birds Travel for Long Hours

B. Migrating Need Help

C. How Birds Migrate during Autumn

D. Migrating Birds Take Many Daily Power Naps

2.According to the text, when having drowsiness, the thrushes______.

A. will rest one eye and the other active

B. will often sleep during day

C. will still be careful with the possible dangers

D. will not see anything in front of them

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. Sleep is important for human being.

B. Animals need sleep to rest.

C. Migrating birds need sleep only during day.

D. College students often have drowsiness in fall.

There is a tread in travelling that is sweeping the nation— it’s being called voluntourism. Foreign destinations are attracting American citizens who want to sightsee, while at the same time engage in community service.

Photos on a wall are of recent visits to an orphanage(孤儿院) in India. It’s a trip Jim Inners first made after looking a more meaningful way to see the world. Through the Austin-based Miracle Foundation, Inners has traveled to India three times as part of a growing trend called voluntourism, which combines foreign travel with charity work.

“You’re living. You’re not just sending a check to help somebody but you have a little girl, a little boy. You’re their life line to a new life.” said Inners

Silicon Labs co-founder Nav Sooch recently raised money to build a village for orphans in India and has traveled there several times. He says it’s possible to sightsee and serve the needy.

“I think it would be a shame to go to India and not see the Taj Mahal. It’s a wonderful place and I think you can have that as well as the real interaction with real people.” said Sooch.

“We’ve had all ages. We’ve had from 21/2 with a family all the way up to an 82-year-old and that’s the beauty of these trips.” says Barbara Joubert. She plans the 9-day journeys on behalf of the Miracle Foundation. She says it appeals to those who want to give back. “So the most basic work or what you’re doing there is loving the kids and it’s not hard.” said Joubert.

“Spending time with all these kids has been wonderful.” says Inners. Voluntourism will take Jim Inners back to “Pinky”, the girl who calls him Papa Jim.

1.According to the text, voluntourism_________.

A. is kind of travel organized by travel companies

B. is a way of earning money by traveling

C. is a certain travel while offering community service

D. is kind of travel to enjoy the local cultures

2.According to the text, the Miracle Fountain_________.

A. is intended to help the poor areas　　 B. mainly helps plan voluntourism

C. belongs to a large travel company　　 D. is organized to offer service in India

3.What does Inners mean by saying “You’re their life line to a new life.” in paragraph 3?

A. You’ll have to look after their future life.

B. You need to send money to help the poor.

C. You will allow them to be your family members.

D. You have a great effect on their future life.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To make voluntourism more popular.　　 B. To persuade readers to help the poor.

C. To give you advice on voluntourism.　　 D. To introduce readers voluntourism.

1.We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.2. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. 3.

4. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

5. A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as a fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

A. Typically, the original message has changed.

B. Finally everybody gets the meaning.

C. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem.

D. Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.

E. That’s what happens in daily life.

F. This process is also found among scholars and authors.

G. We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively.
