26、Football is my favorite sport. I loved to watch it, but I had never played in a football game before I went to college. I didn’t have enough confidence and I wanted to know whether I could do well in a team, which was why I hardly did sports in company with others. I just loved practising playing football in the backyard of my house.

About one month after I went to college, one day some of my classmates said they’d play a football game with some players of another class. I really looked forward to but never thought I’d join them to play. That day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates. However, just about ten minutes after the game started,one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play. The other members looked worried. Then one of them came to me and asked, “Can you play?” At first, I shook my head, but then I nodded.“Great! Come and play.” he said. I followed him, having no idea at all what to do. To my joy, he asked me to play in defense(防守). Defense was my favourite because I found it more fun and less complicated(复杂的). Then the game began again.There weren’t a lot of big kids on the offensive line(攻击线) of the other team and I suddenly became confident. About five minutes later,the ball was kicked toward the guard. I thought it was a good chance for me.I quickly ran past the guard and got the ball. When the guard came to the offensive line. I kicked the ball. I scored and all my classmates cheered. You may not believe it, but I scored twice that time. The final score was 6-2 and we won. My teammates thought that I did very well and none of them believed I hadn’t played in a game before.

That game really changed me. I am a really confident person now and often play football games with my teammates.

27、“Eating together” is a statement that doctors use regularly when they talk with families about maintaining normal weight. Children who eat regular family meals tend to have lower rates of obesity. A new study takes a look at why.

A team led by Jerica Berg asked the families of 120 children to record eight days of meals. Berge’s team sorted the interactions occurring at the table into two broad groups—those relating to the emotional atmosphere at the meal, such as how much the family members seemed to be enjoying the time together, and how many uncomfortable silences occurred—and those involving food specially, such as how many unpleasant feelings emerged from discussions about food, and how much the parents controlled what and how much children ate.

Children who were overweight had family meals that included more negative emotional interactions compared to children who weren’t overweight. Their meals tended to have a warmer, more communicative atmosphere. For example, these children were encouraged to eat foods to get stronger or run faster, while heavier children experienced more negative pressures including threats and being made to feel guilty about those who can’t afford to eat three meals a day. If parents talk constantly throughout the meal about food, and lectured the children about homework or attempted to control what the children ate, the youngsters were also more likely to be heavy. Also, the researchers found heavier children tended to have shorter meals.

In the meantime, the current data suggests that simply sitting down at the same table at the same time isn’t enough to influence obesity. And it’s up to family doctors to help families understand how to take full advantage of breaking bread together.

【1】What were classified into two groups by Berge’s team?

A．Feelings emerging from discussions about food.

B．Features of family meals influencing weight.

C．Emotional atmosphere during the meals.

D．Conversations happening during dinner.

【2】What did parents with overweight children not do at the table?

A．They told the children to eat to grow healthier.

B．They talked with the children about homework.

C．They tried to take control of food that children ate.

D．They asked the children to finish meals quickly.

【3】What may the author talk about in the following paragraph?

A．Listing ways to cook delicious meals.

B．Showing how families diet in a healthy manner.

C．Giving reasons of why children are overweight.

D．Introducing ways to make the most of eating together.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．How obesity spreads across family members

B．How dining with parents affects obesity in kids

C．Why parents should eat together with children

D．Why more children are becoming overweight

28、Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.   

In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought (干旱). The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.

Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals (节日). For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.

【1】Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _______________.

A．to stop the drought in 1967

B．to support government officials

C．to pass a special law in the state

B．It is not used in festivals.

C．Its plan was changed in 2000.

D．It lasts for two weeks.

【4】What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?

A．There exist some undesirable effects.

B．It helps little to save energy.

C．It brings about longer working days.

D．Radio and TV programs become different.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams，as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying，confusion，feeling stressed while looking at difficult questions，feeling blank，sweating，sleepless，etc. Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have. Therefore，it's extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear，so that they can take their examination confidently，finally earning good grades. Here are a few tips on ways to overcome exam fear.

There are many students who take studies lightly，leaving everything to be studied at the last minute. As a result，when exams are around the corner，they feel scared，as they don't know where to start，and what to study. So the easiest way of overcoming this problem is to start studying much before the exam. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don't make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding，the chances of forgetting are more. Therefore，it is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides，that the exams are coming does not mean that you have to sit with your books for the entire day，and students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind. However，they should avoid watching too much TV and addicting themselves to the Internet，in which way，they are more likely to waste time.

Apart from the tips above，here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example，before the exam，avoid studying anything new or having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied and how much they have studied，both of which will make you more nervous. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions，ignore them for the time being，and attempt those you find easier. Once you have completed them，go back to the difficult ones.
