24、Playing for Peace

John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.

The World Peace Game is played on a cube （立方体）of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned （指定的）country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.

You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter's students, agrees. "Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know? The weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is a big earthquake, she says. "But I say to myself, I need to fix this." The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.

The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.

It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions （版本）of the game as well.

Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn  "how to make people not experience so much pain. " He adds, "I think I now hope the game helps people be kinder. " One of his former students, Irene Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.

【1】How is the World Peace Game played?

A.Students team up to play the game online.

B.Students answer 50 questions during the game.

C.Students come up with solutions to 50 problems.

D.Students list the dangerous conditions of four countries.

【2】The word "daunting” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________".

A.frightening B.surprising C.attractive D.simple

【3】What do you know about the World Peace Game from the passage?

A.The design o£ this game needs to be improved.

B.John Hunter educates his students through this game.

C.John Hunter limits this game to students in his school.

D.This game helps students easily become leaders in the future.

25、   When I was in primary school, I got into a major argument(争论) with a boy named Michael in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.

I was convinced that I was right and he was wrong, and Michael was just as convinced that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class, placed Michael on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. And she asked Michael what color the object was, “White,” he answered.

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between Michael and me, this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go stand where Michael was standing and told him to come and stand where I had been. We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint（视角）it was white. Only from my side it was black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day. You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective.

【1】What was the argument about between the author(作者) and Michael at first?

A.The color of the object. B.The answer of a math question.

C.The author was not sure. D.The time of beginning class.

【2】The author feel ________ when he heard Michael’s answer.

A.happy B.unbelievable C.tired D.helpless

【3】What’s the meaning of the word underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.确信 B.辩解 C.怀疑 D.猜测

【4】What did the teacher put in the middle of her desk?

A.A round and colorful object. B.A white and black bottle.

C.An object with two mirrors D.An object with two colors.

26、   A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专业人员). If sports aren't going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛) the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?

There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.

Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.

Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.

Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.

You're probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun.

【1】The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A.introduce the topic B.make a survey

C.share knowledge of sports D.ask for advice

【2】The underlined word "They" in Para 4refers to ________.

A.reports B.problems C.sports D.rules

【3】In the writer's opinion, sports can bring people ________.

A.happiness, health, friendship and fun

B.fashion, health, friendship and fun

C.happiness, wealth, health and courage

D.health, courage, friendship and value

【4】The best title for this passage is ________.

A.Sports are very interesting B.Sports are good for everyone

C.Sports make people go outside D.Sports teach people rules

27、You Can Be a World Memory Champion!

Every year, people with amazing memory skills compete in an event called the World Memory Championships. The tasks require huge powers of memory retention: remembering the order of 52 cards in a deck (副); memorizing the names of 110 people after looking at their pictures; and other tasks. Completing any of these tasks may not seem easy for the normal person, but scientific proof seems to show that even someone with normal skills can, through training, improve his or her memory skills and become a memory champion.

One memory champion explained his methods of recalling the order of the cards in a deck. Firstly, he connected a person, an action and a thing with each card. For example, the king of hearts is Elvis Presley, eating, a chocolate sandwich. The three of spades (黑桃) is Rocky Balboa, boxing, Madison Square Garden. The ten of hearts is William Shakespeare, writing Hamlet, a broken pen. Take a person from the first card, an action from the second card, and a thing from the third card so that any group of three cards creates a vivid (生动的) image that is easier to recall. For example: king-ten-three becomes Elvis Presley writing Hamlet in Madison Square Garden – a memorable image.

Still, even having created images for each group of three cards, it is difficult to keep them in order. This is done using the loci method, or what some call a “Memory Palace” – a term created by Frances Yates in his 1966 book The Art of Memory – which is a simple but effective method discovered by the ancient Greeks.

But are there people with naturally amazing memories? The winner of the 2011 World Memory Championships was 21-year-old Chinese Wang Feng. He said he had a “normal memory as a child,” and no special talent except for the hard work and attention to detail.

Although many still think that people have either good or bad memories from birth, that need not be true. By using the methods of grouping, connecting with vivid images, and the loci method, we can all improve our memories. Who knows – you might even become the next World Memory Champion!

【1】According to Paragraph 2, ten-king-three can create an image of ________.

A．William Shakespeare eating in Madison Square Garden

B．Hamlet eating a chocolate sandwich with a broken pen

C．Rocky Balboa writing Hamlet with a broken pen

D．Elvis Presley boxing in Madison Square Garden

【2】Why is loci method useful for memorizing the cards?

A．It connects the images with their time order.

B．It reorganizes the cards to build a vivid palace.

C．It uses the terms from a book to create a new image.

D．It helps memorize the order of the three-card groups.

【3】What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To praise the winners of the World Memory Championship.

B．To help people win the World Memory Championship.

C．To show a good memory is more a matter of training.

D．To explain methods of remembering a deck of cards.
