          To be a good teacher, you need some of the talents of a good actor: you must be able to
    hold attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong,
    pleasing voice which is fully under your control; you must be able to act what you are teaching,
    in order to make its meaning clear.
         A good teacher doesn't sit still before his class; he stands all the time he is teaching; he walks
    about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express
    his feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice
    always changing according to what he is talking about.
         The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed
    be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's
    work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly
    the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he
    uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt
    words seem natural on the stage.
         A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play-they
    ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say so.
    The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience. He can't learn his part by heart, because
    their brains couldn't keep discipline: they couldn't keep strictly to what another has written.
    1. If you want to be a good teacher, you should______.            .
    A. act out what you have learnt strictly 
    B. be a good actor on the stage
    C. sit all the time while teaching     
    D. suit the need of different students
    2.The underlined word "talents" in the first paragraph means_____.          
    A. methods      
    B. gifts      
    C. wishes      
    D. interests
    3.The main difference between students and audience in the theatre is that
    students _______.         .
    A. move around the class                
    B. keep silent all the time
    C. take an active part in class            
    D. like body language
    4. If Tom Hanks, a famous actor, would like to be a good teacher, he may need training in ______.   .

    A. how to use body language          
    B. how to repeat his lines
    C. how to be more quick - minded      
    D. how to be attractive

         What is the relationship between violence and sports? Psychologists say that there are many
    reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol.Many fans drink a lot at games.When
    people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says,
    "Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive. "
         David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, "These are often celebratory riots- a large number
    of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don't often seem dangerous
    in the beginning, but things get violent quickly. "
         Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd.When individuals are in a large
    group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt, a social
    Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never
    do alone.People in crowds feel anonymous - no one knows who they are.Crowds also
    make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions.They just follow the crowd.
    Social psychologists call this a "mob mentality".
    Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, "Some people don't even come to celebrate.They want
    to drink hard and make trouble.Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there.You
    get a mob mentality.People think it's OK to do almost anything.They think, 'There are so many
    of us and not enough of them. '
    Social psychologist Dr.Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent
    violence.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.Officials should also think
    of games as "big parties." Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they
    are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums."When you know someone is watching,
    you are much less likely to behave badly. "
    1. Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs?  

    A. There's a connection between violence and sports
    B. One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol.
    C. There are many reasons for violence at sports events.
    D. David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion.

    2. Which of the following does NOT belong to a "mob mentality"?
    A. "I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy. "
    B. " It's safe to do what many people are doing. "
    C. "There are so many of us and not enough of them. "
    D. " No one knows I'm doing this. "
    3. The last paragraph is mainly about ______.

    A. how to turn games into big parties
    B. why to install cameras in stadiums
    C. how to prevent violence at sports events
    D. how to avoid oneself behaving badly

    4. What lesson can we learn from this passage?
    A. Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are.
    B. Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet.
    C. Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something.
    D. Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.

          The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about
    the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an "education" through games
    and other entertainment.
          A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz",
    he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance
    music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that  they need to learn  about advertising.
          Its inventors say eight to twelve  years old is the age kids d evelop their critical thinking
    abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
          The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To
    know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get
    the child to do.
    Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They
    can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through
    ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in
    the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
         The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else
    ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
    One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business.
    The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion
    dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
         The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence
    parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
    A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value.
    First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for
    children.
    1.What is the best title of the text?
    A. The guide of Admongo          
    B. An education website for children
    C. A popular online video game      
    D. A website aimed at children
    2. Why did the government start the website?
    A. To attract the biggest market of buyers.  
    B. To sell the products of its company.
    C. To help children know about advertising.  
    D. To advertise the video game for children.
    3.What can players do in the website game?

    A. Choose hair styles for their character.    
    B. Travel to a supermarket.
    C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant.    
    D. Play video games during the trip.

    4. Children are important for advertising because they are __________.
    A. important for the society            
    B. the most potential buyers
    C. easily influenced by ads            
    D. easily affected by poor products

            1   This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times, around the time
    of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions:
    Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent of their year's income
    in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October.    2   The first
    time this happened was in 1867 when Macy's famous shop in New York, stayed open until
    midnight on Christmas Eve.
        By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree.     3   In the northern
    countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass
    balls give people hope that spring will come.
        Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys.
    Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them.    4  
       On Christmas Day a traditional meal is eaten, usually a turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some
     people hate Christmas.     5   They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions.
    Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year and forward to the new one.

    A. This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD.
