　　Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next move...acting as a team member...these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

　　Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate_life_into_exciting_dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作)．

　　Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.

　　Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

　　Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

　　Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

　　1. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.

　　A. be a team leader

　　B. obey the basic rules

　　C. act as a grown-up

　　D. predict possible danger

　　2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can________.

　　A. describe life in an exciting way

　　B. turn real-life experiences into a play

　　C. make learning life skills more interesting

　　D. change people's views of sporting events

　　3. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?

　　A. It inspires people's deep love for the country.

　　B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.

　　C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.

　　D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.

　　4. Iribarne's goal of forming the foundation is to ________.

　　A. bring fun to poor kids

　　B. provide soccer balls for children

　　C. give poor kids a chance for a better life

　　D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids

　　5. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Games ’benefit people all their lives.

　　C. People are advised to play games for fun.

　　D. Sports increase a country's competitiveness.

　　B

　　To err is human.To blame the other guy is even more human.

　　Common sense is not all that common.

　　Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?

　　These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature.To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this：“To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的)．”This saying mirrors an ideal people should be forgiving of others' mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite—find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.

　　Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company，“the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”

　　And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. Get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is “good”even if it isn't honest, then where is the place of the truth?

　　6. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?

　　A. To search for truth.

　　B. To achieve one's ideal.

　　C. To make fun of others' mistakes.

　　D. To criticize others for one's own error.

　　7. According to the author, what is a sign of a man's maturity?

　　A. Doing things his own way.

　　B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.

　　C. Making as few mistakes as possible.

　　D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.

　　8. Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?

　　A. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.

　　B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.

　　C. A company's next move follows a good plan.

　　D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.

　　9. What is the author's opinion about a good excuse?

　　A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.

　　B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.

　　C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.

　　D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.

　　10. What would be the BEST title for his passage?

　　A. A Mirror of Human Nature

　　B. To Blame or to Forgive

　　C. A Mark of Maturity

　　D. Truth or Excuse
