It was the end of the school term and my son Tom had less than three months left before he would finish his six years at high school. During this time he had developed a love for basketball. Sadly, because of my work over the last twelve months, I had only been able to attend a few of his games; however, I was determined to get to his last game for the school term.
Tom’s team came out in the first 10 minutes with a burst of goals that saw them leading by just over 20 points at the end of the first half. The second half changed as the other team quickly played themselves back into the game. Tom’s team started to miss an increasing number of shots. It was at that point that the coach called his first time out.
The noise of the spectators (观众) became quiet as the coach spoke to them. He had the team standing in a half circle, but he squatted (蹲) down, looking up at them and fiving some very calm and clear instructions on what they needed to do in the last couple of minutes. As he stood up to allow the team to return to the court, I saw him give some further words of encouragement to all of them.
You could see that he knew that the team was fighting to save the game and that he needed to lift them up. By squatting down he placed himself in a position where he was talking up to them, rather than down or at them, and as the players went back onto the court his words of encouragement served to lift their energy and spirits.
Well, Tom’s team went on to win the final by 5 points. As I drove away I thought about what can happen to us all in our everyday life. One of my favourite quotes is about the half filled glass of water --- “Is it half full or is it half empty?” Like the coach, the answer to this quote all depends on how you look at things.
1.Why did the writer come to see his son play basketball?
A. Because his son would graduate from high school.
B. Because he felt sorry for never watching his son play.
C. Because it was a final his son played a key role in.
D. Because he had a strong interest in basketball himself.
2.By squatting down, the coach wanted to _____ .
A. talk about what the players were doing wrong
B. make the players feel better
C. prevent spectators from hearing what he said
D. show his anger at the bad performance of the players
3.What is the writer’s attitude towards the coach?
A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Interested. D. Unconcerned.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. A father should care about his son at school.
B. Playing hard is rewarded with a close match.
C. What a coach says has the most influence on players.
D. Looking at things positively is important in hard times.

Me : Hello Dad! I’ve an exam today.
He : All the best son! I’m getting a strong feeling. You’ll rock it today. May god bless you!
Me : Thank you dad. Bye! And I hang up the call.
My friend standing beside me chuckles, “Do you do this before every exam?” I answer, “Yes, I feel good and encouraged, and so do they.” It hardly takes a minute to call up your parents, but it gives a lot of confidence and makes their day too.
Not calling up parents is indeed a common mistake college students make. For me the most common mistake is treating it like school. When I went to university, most of the people around me came straight from school. They had the thought like children who were being forced to do something. They skipped classes, sat at the back talking during lectures and even didn’t do the reading! They were still in “school” mode, thinking that the point was to get through it with the least effort.
For my part, I was there after working in a beer factory for three years. I knew that I had gone to university because I wanted to learn. I wasn’t there because my teachers at school made me go, or my parents made me go, or because my friends were all going. I had chosen to go. I think that this put me in a different mind. I read all the set texts and I went to all the lectures and seminars. Don’t get me wrong. I had fun too, but I was there to learn and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it and it was rewarding to learn about the authors, their works, the critic's opinions etc.
The kids around me thought that reading six novels for a module and going to a lecture for each novel was too much work. They would read one novel, go to the lecture for that one and write their essay on that one book. They thought that they were really clever to work out an easier way of doing it. But they were tricking themselves out of an education!
There are other mistakes that may cause future regrets for the college students. A large number of them focus too hard on getting good grades, showing no interest in out-of-class side projects. Some complain that they are too busy because of school. As a matter of fact, they do not seriously treat all the free resources that universities have to offer.
1.The writer begins the passage with a dialogue in order to __________.
A. show off his writing skills B. expect his friend to admire him
C. lead in the topic naturally D. show he likes making phone calls
2.What do most university students usually do in the opinion of the writer?
A. They attend every class for free chatting.
B. They show little interest in active learning.
C. They avoid reading books all the time.
D. They highly praise independent learning.
3.Why did the writer want to go to college?
A. Because his parents forced him to. B. Because he learned from his friend.
C. Because his teachers asked him to. D. Because he was dying for knowledge.
4.What do the underlined sentences in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. They lost their learning chances without noticing it.
B. They made up excuses for their laziness in learning.
C. They often pretended to be working hard at everything.
D. They told lies about what they were doing in college.
5.According to the passage, college students are supposed to __________.
A. stop being hard on themselves academically
B. make the most of the university they go to.
C. have some relaxation after taking classes
D. feel thankful for what they are doing now

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say '"thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
1.When did the story probably happen?

D. Because she taught Mark to help people in need.
3.What's the best title for this passage?
