四、阅读理解
Life is competitive-some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there
are “winners” and “losers”, and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner
or aneven better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a “Good” Winner
No one likes a “show off”.
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆Be modest(谦虚的).
◆Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an Even Better Loser
Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.
To be an even better loser you need to:
◆Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆Congratulate the other team.
◆Keep any negative(消极的) thoughts to yourself-at least until you are away from the game.
It’s OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
( @45@ )1. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. We are either losers or winners.
B. We should face winning and losing properly.
C. We can do nothing about winning and losing.
D. We are always competing with others not ourselves.
B
( @46@ )2. What should a better loser do when losing
A. Let out his anger to his parents at once.
B. Express his negative feelings in the game.
C. Try harder to improve himself in the next game.
D. Behave badly to his team members or competitors.
C
( @47@ )3. Which one is not proper if we succeed
A. Going on improving our skills.
B. Telling our team members to aim higher.
C. Thanking our team members for their efforts.
D. Putting down others to make ourselves look good.
D
( @48@ )4. Who is probably a bad sport
A. Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B. Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C. Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D. Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
A
( @49@ )5. What is the passage written for
A. Telling us what we can learn from losing.
B. Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C. Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.
D. Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.
