The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league with 32 teams in. How does one choose which team to support? Some people choose the team of their hometown, or where they now live, or the team that their parents or their parents or their friends follow.

A boy student from Oklahoma wrote a letter to each of the owners or presidents of the 32 NFL teams. He would see what answers he got, and then choose his team.

Bill was home from school sick. It was the week before Christmas. He was “kind of bored” and needed something to do. So he asked his parents if he could write to every professional football team. Bill wrote the 32 letters by hand.

A letter to the Carolina Panthers’ owner Jerry Richardson was one of those posted. Bill wrote in his letter, “My family and I love football. They are fans of different I don’t have a team to cheer for yet. I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for lifetime!”

A few weeks later, Bill’s mother was pulling into her driveway when a delivery man arrived with a box from the Panthers. When Bill came home, he excitedly opened the box. Inside he found a signed Carolina Panthers helmet（头盔）as well as a handwritten note from Jerry.

The team owner had written to Bill, “We should be honored（光荣的）if our Carolina Panthers became your team. We would make you proud of your joining us.”

Bill was overjoyed with what he got. He decided that from then on he would support the Panthers. He keeps the letter from Jerry in his bedroom. His mother says, “It’s not the helmet they sent us. It’s what they told us.” That is what mattered to Bill and why he chose to become a Panthers’ fan.

My Experience in the Park

Last weekend my classmates and I went to a nearby park for relaxation.

As we entered the park, we found so many tourists enjoying the beauty of spring. Some were taking photos of colorful flowers. Some were sitting comfortably in the sun chatting. When we came to an arch bridge, we noticed a grandpa struggling to push a wheelchair onto the bridge. A grandma was sitting in it. Seeing this, my classmate and I rushed forward to give them a hand. Two of us tried hard to push the wheelchair, while another classmate walked across the bridge with the grandpa. The elderly couple were very grateful and spoke highly of us. Some tourists standing nearby also praised us with their thumbs up.

We enjoyed the natural beauty of spring today, and most importantly, we were happy that we could be of help to others.

They are gifts of 51 ， family and time spent together happily.

Commercials can 52 the audience if they are made effectively. What makes a commercial 53 is human interest, and usually there are some common 54 。 A good commercial for me is when I can forget it is a commercial for something I have to buy and instead 55 it with an experience in my own life or the lives of others. It can make me think and pass on a few of those thoughts to other people.

Dear Mr. Hill,

We are appreciative of your interest in our products. If you visit our website, you’ll see many favorable product reviews. I’ve attached our company catalogue showing our entire line of products.

We designed the Top Everest line to be most elegant luggage you can find anywhere in the world. Some customers want the luggage to be as neatly-fitted and lightweight as possible, so we asked our designers to do just that. You cannot find a more neatly-fitted and lightweight luggage than ours.

In addition, most of our customers want the luggage to be the toughest and most long-lasting, so we chose the toughest and most long-lasting materials for the Top Everest line and subjected our first products to the most severe tests. We had them run over by steamrollers（压路机）。 We also had trucks run over them. Only a few products survived these tests. We recovered only those that survived the tests, finalized their design, and put them into production. You can count on our products. If you want to purchase our products in a large quantity, we will give you a 10% discount. I am sure your store will make more profits than ever. On April 6 I need to go on a business trip in Texas. I can drop by your store to meet with you and discuss our products in detail.

If we can be of further service, or if you need to get more information, please call us at 356-589-6987 at any time. We value your business and want to help any way we can.

Envelope Budget

From McDonald’s to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick bite to eat. It was so easy to use my card for a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.

One day I sat down and calculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers! Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to give myself a strong budget to reduce my consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20 in my purse. That was my fast food budget for the entire week. If there was anything left over at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast food stops that week.

The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic. I would purchase a small. It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a whole meal, I would pick the part that I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I never really felt unhappy because it was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.

Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.

Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of 5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.

59、 According to Paragraph 1, the author 。

The British love word-play and they’re enthusiastic about defending the use of their language. In recent years, books about the grammar, pronunciation and punctuation（标点）of English have been written by the dozen, and sold extremely well, reflecting people’s love of the English language. People want to defend the “correct” use of their language, but also to preserve its ability to evolve along with society. Lynne Truss’s book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas. Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in a sentence. “Eats shoots and leaves” is a perfectly normal description of a panda’s diet: he eats the shoots and leaves of bamboo trees. But the position of the comma（逗号） turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner)， he shoots (a gun)， and he leaves (the building)。 It’s a silly joke, but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

Published in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical reader of this kind of book as the humorless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies—it must be appealing to a wide range of people. The book’s winning secret is this: it makes some serious points about language and punctuation, but also has a light-hearted dimension, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public debate on Truss’s ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss.

In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is in decline, and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. Truss’s book also appeals to those who think that texting and blogging（博客） is lowering the standard of literacy. Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.

63、 The title of the book Eat, Shoots & Leaves is a joke which shows 。

A. a funny feeling B. a trend in writing

C. a grammatical point D. a fact about animals

64、 The book has been successful because 。

A. it presents a new research on English

B. it solves a serious English language problem

C. it shows the British like to teach English to other people

D. it causes concern for proper use of language in a fun way

65、 What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The English language was better in the past.

B. The English language is being improved by technology.

C. There is often dissatisfaction with the standard of English.

D. There have always been debates on the use of punctuation.

66、 What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Difference a Comma Made

D. Public Debate about Language Standards

Role-Playing in Child Development

Playing is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. There are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person.

Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in children’s brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activities enable children to develop their oral language skills. They become able to organize others and to give directions.

Children’s social skills can also be developed. When engaged in group activities, children have different roles. Some are leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another person’s point of view.

Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters children’s imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate（模仿）real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play.

Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional（情感的） pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the first that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently lessons. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children master their fears.

Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are better prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretend.

67、 From the author’s description in Paragraph 4, we learn that children often 。

A. involve daily-life activities in groups

B. act out the activities that their parents do

C. perform daily tasks instead of their parents

D. change real-life situation when role-playing

68、 The author believes that role-playing may help children 。

A. develop a better awareness of grammar

B. receive benefits from their emotional pain

C. improve creativity by using their imaginations

D. understand how to be both leaders and followers

69、 The underlined word “master” in Paragraph 5 probably means 。

A. ignore B. confirm C. overcome D. predict

The Tower and the Glory

A large man jumps onto my shoulders. He is quickly followed by another slightly smaller man who catches my belt and moves up. Another follows. Then I begin to move slowly from on side to another dangerously.

A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain. The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. 71 It has become an annual event in some areas of the country. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16, 2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

72 It is a formation of several people in which two or more people support a level of higher people, who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the people in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting in a triangular structure. 73

At first I’d like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the club’s president indicated a little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower. For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position, people began to climb up me to the tower without warning. 74 My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.

My performance in the “hands” section was obviously satisfactory. 75 I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.

A. Building a good human tower takes team work and skills.

B. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three- level tower.

C. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.

D. Once a tower is built, try and see if the group can hold it for a count of 30.

E. Since then it’s been popular, with groups competing to build higher structures.

F. Before long I was called forward and given the great honor of the President’s Belt.

G. I hoped to change my position because I knew that this activity required particular skills.
