第三节：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tried to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become and engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
36. Generally speaking, children’s skills______.
A. come from their parents
B. have nothing to do with their education
C. may be different
D. have something to do with their marks in the exams
37. The writer of this passage doesn’t seem to be satisfied with______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children
B. the education system
C. children’s kill
D. children’s hobbies
38. Doing some cooking at home helps children________.
A. learn how to serve their parents
B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D. become a good cook
B
Almost every family in American or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper each day. Some people buy as many as two or three different newspapers.
Why do people read newspaper Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to, we can look through the newspaper. In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or room that they can rent or even when looking for a person who is lost.
39. This article tells us________.
A. most people read newspapers
B. all people read newspapers
C. every person in America or England reads newspapers
D. all families read newspapers
40. Today we can read in our newspapers about important events that______.
A. took place hundreds of years ago
B. took place in faraway countries soon after they happened
C. will take place in foreign countries
D. will take place in the world
41. Things such as _____ can be found in newspapers.
A. weather reports and films or concert guides
B. requirements for a job or a house
C. information about a lost person
D. all of the above
42. Which is not true according to the passage
A. The habit of reading newspapers is found among many people.
B. Newspapers not only supply us with news from all over the world but also give us a lot of information.
C. Hundreds of years ago news was not wholly true because many people were dishonest.
D. If you can’t find a place to live, you can put a notice in the newspaper.
C
The word “sports” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting 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 time playing football, 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 ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30 000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International gulf and tennis champions can make more than 500 000 dollars a year. Of course only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn money from advertising from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simple says “buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt or shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
43. From the passage we can learn that______.
A. people spend too much money on sports
B. the development of sports is slower than any other activity
C. most people enjoy sports because they can earn money
D. nowadays sport is not merely (单单的) a pastime for people
44. Nowadays, the word “sport” means______.
A. what people do in their spare time
B. hunting wild animals and birds
C. organized games
D. something people are paid to do
45. People play sports for______
A. fun B. different purposes
C. money D. keeping fit
46. What surprises people most is that_______.
A. the stars get more money from advertising
B. the word sport meant hunting animal
C. professional sportsmen are paid for what they do
D. only a few sportsmen can earn＄500 000 a year
47. How do the famous sportsmen earn money from advertising
A. Simply say “Buy our things”
B. Sell watches and food themselves
C. Allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them
D. Only advertise things like watches and food

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia.

The word “sports” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting 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 time playing football, 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 ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30 000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International gulf and tennis champions can make more than 500 000 dollars a year. Of course only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn money from advertising from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simple says “buy our things”. It says “Buy the same shirt or shoes as…” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
