9 . Many years ago, I met a man whose unique psychology helped me to get away from a life of struggle and uneasiness for great happiness, for peace of mind, and for a measure of success I otherwise would not have attained.

He was George Robert White, who lost his parents at eight, badly off for a long time. However, his God-given beliefs made him both a material and a spiritual millionaire at thirty. As a young man, Mr. White took over the leadership of a small plant, and throughout his career he donated a large part of his net profits to charity. Despite his unusual business practice, he built that tiny concern into a world-famous corporation, and became the multi-million-dollar manufacturer.

Before I met him, my path to success was the ordinary road over which most American businessmen travel—endless hours of hard work, social contacts, wise investments. But where was the resulting happiness that my material gain was supposed to have afforded me? I discovered that I had no more peace of mind.

I took the advice of Mr. White to open the pathway to happiness and freedom of mind. “Personal and business success, built upon materialism alone, are empty shells over disappointment and saddened lives,” he emphasized, “Cast your bread upon the waters and it will come back in abundance. ” If we are to be happy, to be successful in every aspect of the world, and to live truly full lives, we must share ourselves, as well as our material gain, with our fellow men.

Since Mr. White’s death, I have made great efforts, as his successor, to stick to his code of morality. Two dollars out of every three earned by our corporation is shared with others. My reward and my blessings have come to me in the form of personal satisfaction and peace of mind that had been foreign to me.

1. What was Mr. White’s unusual business practice?

A．His concern about the poor.

B．His leadership of a small plant

C．His way to deal with the net profits.

D．His becoming a millionaire at thirty.

2. How was the author’s life before he met Mr. White?

A．Busy and uneasy.

B．Wealthy and full.

C．Successful and happy.

D．Struggling and hopeful.

3. What was Mr. White’s advice?

A．Be a breadwinner.

B．Be ready to share.

C．Build personal reputation.

D．Seek material abundance.

4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To call back his own life.

B．To introduce Mr. White’s lifestyle.

C．To show his concern about charity.

D．To express his gratitude to Mr. White.

10 . Risky play gives children a feeling of thrill and excitement. Risk is an essential part of a balanced childhood. Exposure to healthy risks, particularly physical, enables children to experience fear, and learn the strengths and limitations of their own body.

For this generation of children, always from scheduled soft play, to school, to club, to sofa, we’ve got a lot of work to do. As parents, many of us are unused to allowing even the tiniest degree of danger to enter the lives of our children. Surely it’s the job of a good parent to keep them safe.

That’s why roaming-distance — how far children play from home — has decreased by 90% in the past 30 years. We are a nation of stubborn helicopter parents, managing a schedule of activities and waiting below our children on the monkey bars in case they should slip. It’s no wonder that the virtual risk of computer games is so appealing and addictive—the real world seems rather mild in comparison.

So how can we put some of that danger and excitement back into the lives of our children? The answer is step by step and in an age-appropriate way. First, the outdoors is key. Outdoors time every day is essential, and don’t just head to the neat and controlled environment of the play area. Permit your primary-age children to leave your sight. Risky sports are a reasonably controlled way to allow your children to feel fear. Horse riding or skiing might be expensive, but what about skateboarding, tree-climbing or rock-climbing? Your child could fall at some stage, and they will probably feel out of control — but wow, they’ll feel alive. Water, too, is an essential healthy risk. Let them climb in streams, slide in mud and fall over in the sea wearing all their clothes. Your job as an adult is to manage the risk.

1. What is the author’s concern about the children according to the passage?

A．They are exposed to too many risks.

B．They are addicted to computer games.

C．They are unwilling to experience the fear.

D．They have less access to enough risky play.

2. What has caused the decrease in roaming-distance?

A．The balanced schedule of activities.

B．Doing too much homework.

C．Parents’ overprotecting.

D．The shortage of safety measures.

3. What does the author advise parents to do?

A．Forbid kids to play risky games.

B．Permit kids to climb trees or skateboard.

C．Accompany kids all the way outdoors.

D．Encourage kids to play in a cleaner environment.

4. What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Letting your kids experiencing healthy risks will benefit their growth.

B．How to manage the risks for your kids is the parent’s job as an adult.

C．Parents should keep your kids free from risks step by step.

D．It’s the parents’ responsibility to play with your kids in risky sports.
