It seems that many young people still think that smoking is cool. There are many reasons for this, for example, films．Many actors smoke in films and this can lead the young to think that smoking can be cool.

Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them. I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.
I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isn’t a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day.
I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it’s just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!
Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them. It’s never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. That’s why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don’t get down. They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they don’t shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you.
Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we can’ t let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.
1.The underlined phrase “get onto you” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. point out your mistakes B. take up your time
C. worry about your future D. look into your privacy
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talent.
B. Sports give us the best way of spending free time.
C. We can get more out of winning than losing.
D. We should take pleasure in doing sports.
3.What is the best title of this passage?
A. Are we too caught up? B. To win or to gain?
C. Are sports really great? D. For honor or for health?

Maybe you think that many parents have a lot to learn about what their children are doing online. According to a recent survey by Symantec Company, which makes many kinds of security(安全)software for home and business computers, there's a "huge difference between parents and their kids".
Parents of children under the age of 18 were asked to estimate(估计)how much time their kids spent online each week. The parents said about three hours a week on average(平均).The kids－ages 8 to 17－who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week.
"I really think that's because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents don't even know they're online," says Symantec's Bill Rosenkrantz. "Remember, cellphones, PDAs and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You don't have to sit in front of a computer screen."
And what are the kids doing on the Web? "They're doing things, like downloading music, they're going to social networking sites, they're actually shopping online when parents don't think they're doing those kinds of activities," says Rosenkrantz. "They're also, we think, doing some things with research papers and other kinds of activities with homework maybe where they're getting some information online and they really shouldn't be." Nearly a quarter of the kids (23 percent) night do things their parents would not agree.
So how does a modern parent deal with this type of situation? "The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend fine with their children online," Rosenkrantz， says. "Sit down with them and understand what they're doing. Secondly, have a dialogue about it. Have a dialogue about what's an acceptable activity, what's an unacceptable activity, and set some ground rules－time online, things you can and can't do. Really have those conversations. That's the most important ." There are a lot of bad people on the Internet. That's why it's so important for parents to know what their kids are doing online.
1.The data(数据)in the second paragraph are used to show .
A. parents don't exactly know kids' online activities
B. time spent online changes with children's ages
C. children always spend too much time online
D. children spend more time online than their parents
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Some kids surveyed may go against their parents' rules.
B. Most parents know what their kids are doing online.
C. Special home computers are being made by Symantec.
D. Parents are too busy to pay attention to their kids.
3.In Rosenkrantz's opinion, the key to the situation is that parents should .
A. shorten their kids' time spent online
B. know their kids' online activities
C. use security software in computers
D. have a dialogue with their kids
4.What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise a piece of useful security software.
B. To call parents' attention to kids' online behaviour.
C. To warn children of the risks online activities.
D. To give reasons for kids' bad Internet habits.
