5 . Life is competitive - some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.

Being a “good” winner

No one likes a “show off”.

No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.

No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.

To be a good winner you need to:

◆Be modest(谦虚的).

◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.

◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.

◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.

Being an even better loser

Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.

To be an even better loser you need to :

◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.

◆ Congratulate the other team.

◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.

It’s Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.

1. What should a better loser do when losing?

A．Let out his anger to his parents at once.

B．Express his negative feelings in the game.

C．Try harder to improve himself in the next game.

D．Behave badly to his team members or competitors.

2. Which one is not proper if we succeed?

A．Going on improving our skills.

B．Telling our team members to aim higher.

C．Thanking our team members for their efforts.

D．Putting down others to make ourselves look good.

3. What is the passage written for?

B．Offering advice on what we can do to win.

C．Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.

D．Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.

10 . You Life is What You Make It

Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher’s certificate last year. His parents wanted him to get a good job in Shanghai. But he was inspired by the idea of living independently away from home. So he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books, clothes, and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living and teaching in a village.

However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tian’s hopes. The school was much smaller than he expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living In the village was also more challenging than he had thought. The power and water supplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook. The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind, but he quickly gave up the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.

The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher. The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese. To make school life healthier and livelier for his students, Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school — music, art and PE. It is not surprising that PE is the kids’ favourite subject!
