| A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door. The boy asked, "Daddy, how much do you make per hour?"

"Maybe I was too hard on you just now," the man went into the room and said. "Here's the $10 you asked for." "Oh, thank you, Daddy!" He said.

| I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m., the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45 minutes' lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town. By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets. |

| 3. The underlined word "delighted" means ______. |
| A. sure B. sorry C. surprised D. pleased |
| 4. Which of the following is true according to the story? |
| A. The writer was too busy to have time for a rest during the day. B. The buses running between his office and Richland Hills were always on time on Thursday. C. He could buy the tickets neither before nor after work hours. D. It always took him about twenty minutes to get to the cinema by bus. |
| 5. What's the title of the story? |
| A. How to Get a Ticket B. Tickets Sold out C. A Wonderful Film D. The Way to the Cinema |

| The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting (捕猎) wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than ＄3000 a year. The starts earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions (网球锦标赛) can make more than ＄50000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals (个人的) like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment (设备) does not simply say "Buy our thing". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as …". Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time. |
| ( )1. A "professional" sportsman is someone who likes sports very much. ( )2. The word "sport" now usually means "organized" games. ( )3. An advertisement for sports equipment just says "Buy our thing". ( )4. The sport stars can earn as much money from advertising as from sport. ( )5. This passage mainly talks about sport and money. |
