1 . Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercises, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.

Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports respect the other players on their team. They respect the players on opposing teams. They respect coaches and they also respect the referees (裁判) or other officials involved in their games.     1     They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.

Kids usually learn sportsmanship — good and bad — from the adults in their lives.     2     If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.

    3     some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.

Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life!     4     Being a good sportsman in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sportsman in the workplace.

So be a good sportsman in whatever you do!     5     When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fun, getting exercise, and improving your skills.

A．Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.

B．On the contrary, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.

C．The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

D．Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.

E．we can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.

F．Starting as a good sportsman earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

G．If you’re a good sportsman on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sportsman in the classroom.

2 . Painting

The art of creating pictures using colors, shapes and lines is called painting. Museums and galleries show the paintings of professional artists. But painting is also a popular form of entertainment and creative expression.

    1     Experienced painters usually use a brush to apply oil paints to a canvas cloth surface. Young painters usually use watercolors on pieces of paper. Very young children may use finger-paints to create paintings.

Painters can use their art to express devotion to a religion, to tell a story, to express feelings and ideas, or simply to present a pleasing picture. Religious paintings often show a god or a scene from a sacred text. Other common subjects have been famous legends and events in history, as well as scenes from daily life. Artists also paint portraits (肖像), or pictures of people.     2     All of these types of paintings show the human figure in some way.

Some kinds of paintings do not focus on people. In landscape (风景) paintings, the focus is on scenes from nature. Artists also paint still objects such as fruit and vegetables.     3     Some artists communicate their ideas through pictures that do not represent any objects.

    4     Paintings dating back 15,000 years have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.

    5     Samples of painted pottery (陶器) from at least 5,000 years ago have been found in China and Iran. The ancient Egyptians decorated their temples with beautiful paintings. People in ancient Greece painted on decorative objects such as vases in addition to the walls of temples.

A．These works are called still lives.

B．These works can communicate a special feeling.

C．Humans have been making paintings for thousands of years.

D．People of all ages create pictures using a variety of materials.

E．Cave paintings generally show animals that early humans hunted.

F．The design of a painting is the plan of its lines, shapes and colors.

G．Sometimes artists make portraits of themselves, which are called self-portraits.

Last summer holiday, tired having to ask my parents for pocket money, I decided to find a summer job. The only job I managed to find was cleaning up table and desks at a restaurant.

I’ll never forget what tired I felt the first day, nor will I forget sit down for lunch with his co-workers that noon. We sat together and talk about our days. Suddenly I was a member of the restaurant, and it was felt good to be so included.

The little job has given me so many. From starting there as a shyly student, I’ve been able to grow into a person that can go up and greet anyone, at work or nowhere else.

10 . IQ is set at around 20 years old and later effort will not improve it much, recent research finds. The complexity of people’s jobs, higher education, socializing and reading all probably have little effect on cognitive (认知的) ability.

Naturally, these activities have many other benefits, but little influence on IQ. However, education is particularly important at an early age when the brain is still developing. By early adulthood, though, most people’s IQ has settled down.

While some studies have suggested that cognitive activities in later life can improve IQ, Professor William Kremen, the study’s first author, thinks otherwise, “The findings suggest that the impact of education, occupational complexity and participation in cognitive activities on later life cognitive function likely reflects the opposite. In other words, they are largely the results of young adult intellectual capacity.”

The study included 1,009 men now in their 50s and 60s whose IQ was assessed when they were around 20 years old. They were given tests of abstract reasoning, verbal fluency and memory, along with other cognitive measures.

The results showed that most of the difference between the men’s IQs in mid-life was explained by the difference between them at around 20-years-old. In comparison, the complexity of the job they had, the intellectual activities they engaged in, and their education in the meantime hardly had any effect on their IQ. Brain scans also showed that IQ at age 20 was associated with the surface area of the cerebral cortex, which is the brain’s gray matter, the part that performs the higher functions of thinking, perceiving and language.

Most of the benefits of education for IQ likely happen before young adulthood, said Professor Kremen. “Our findings suggest we should look at this from a lifetime perspective. Improving cognitive reserve and reducing later life cognitive decline may really need to begin with more access to quality childhood and adolescent education.”

1. What does Kremen’s study mainly focus on?

A．Who has high IQ.	B．How is IQ improved
C．What determines IQ.	D．When is IQ fixed.

2. What is the key factor affecting a person’s cognitive ability according to the study?

A．Higher education	B．The intellectual capacity around 20 years old
C．Occupational complexity	D．Cognitive activities in adulthood

3. Why are the men in the study given the tests?

A．To evaluate their IQ in mid-life.

B．To improve their cognitive abilities.

C．To introduce cognitive measures to them.

D．To find out reasons for their IQ differences.

4. What does Kremen suggest people do?

A．Get engaged in complex jobs.

B．Keep on learning for a lifetime.

C．Have a high-quality adolescent education.

D．Join in as many cognitive activities as possible.
