Top Pay.” “Im a great salesman.” Harry told himself. “I can sell anything.

If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job.” “Thats easy!” Harry said.He took the box of candy and left the office. Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the candy. He couldnt sell one. The candy was so bad he couldnt even give it away. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “Im sorry, sir,” he said, “I was wrong about myself.

However, playing sports can have bad effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem (自尊) or aggressive (好斗的) behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 20 million out of the 40 million kids who play sports in the US say they have been shouted loudly at or called names while playing sports. Thus, many children think sports are just too aggressive. Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches whom children usually admire, are the main cause of too much aggression in childrens sports. They think children copy aggressive adult behavior that is then further strengthened through both good and bad feedback (回馈). Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message thatwinning is everything. Children are even taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. To solve this problem, parents and coaches should act as better examples for children and teach them better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. Instead, they should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock oneself out to enjoy sports. If people make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again. 60. What is the main idea of this article?A. Playing sports must be dangerous to childrens health. B. Playing sports may have some bad results. C. Adults pay no attention to winning. D. Children shouldnt allow parents to do something bad in sports, 61. What does the underlined idiom “call names” mean? A. To have a telephone call. B. To give someone a sweet name. C. To name a person after someone else. D. To be rude to someone with bad words. 62. What is the main cause of more aggressive playing? A. Adults. B. Children. C. Other players. D. The media. 63. It can he learnt from the text that . A. you can enjoy sports so long as you win B. about 50 percent of children had some bad experience while playing sports C. children never copy their parents aggressive behavior though respecting them D. children should knock the other out to enjoy sportsCHOW TO ORDEROrdering from BookFirst is easy and safe.SELECTING YOUR BOOKSWhen you have found a book you would like to order, just click on Add to Basket and it will be added to your shopping basket.

Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supporting that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分心) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy (识字) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the numbers of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term “reading” referred to.68. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.B. Because there were few places for private reading.C. Because few people could read for themselves.D. Because people depended on reading for a living.69. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed _.A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of books D. an increase in the average age of readers70. Educationalists are still arguing about _.A. the
