As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 36, I realized I had locked my phone and my 37 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 38. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the 39, to call a taxi for me. After I 40 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 41 to my school at this point.
A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was 42, and that he had not been able to 43 the taxi yet. I think both 44 and fear could be seen in my face.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 45 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 46 before the bell rang!
This experience made me 47 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has an unimaginable influence on those who receive them.

Phys ed （physical education） is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum（核心課程）， but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance（忍耐力）．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life．
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P．E．on the chopping block（砧板）, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added．
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country （越野）than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood．
According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
A．Lift weights B．Climb a rope
C．Cycle D．Have a balanced diet
What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P．E．on the chopping block”?
A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P．E．．
B．Schools welcome P．E．but do not have time for it．
C．Schools put P．E．in the first place．
D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P．E．．
Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A．More teenagers are overweight．
B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective．
C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life．
D．Phys ed programs need less money to support．
How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．One
What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model？
A．The Phys ed teaches group sports．
B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs．
C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life．
D．The Phys ed has more support from the government．

Eat to Excel
How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Premier League football club Aston Villa are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.
How fit is a footballer?
Could you run ten kilometers in 90 minutes? A professional footballer can. Footballers have to be strong, quick, skillful and creative in their moves. Every Premier League club makes sure it has a good coaching scheme and a well-planned fitness program. They also ensure that players have the practice and training that will prepare them for matches. What else do you think clubs pay special attention to? A good stadium? Anything else? What about the food they eat?
Eating the right thing
A good diet is a fundamental part of sport these days. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill’s sport and health experts have chosen a secret weapon --- organic food (food grown without chemicals). Fitness manager Jim Henry eats with his players and said: “I chose to switch to organic food for Aston Villa because I’ve read studies showing that organic food has higher levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.” He believes that the best way to get these is to eat the very best fresh food.
What to eat after the match
Head chef at Aston Villa, lan Edge, feeds players with the best food as soon as they finish an away match. He says: “Food is very important to sports stars and particularly after a game. There is an hour of opportunity when they need to eat to get the best muscle strength, so I hand out meals on the coach on the way home. If we can make one per cent difference to the players by using organic food, then it is worth it.”
Teaching healthy eating
Everyone at Aston Villa enjoys organic food at their training ground. But the club is also worried about the unhealthy diet among local children who prefer sweets and unhealthy fast food. As part of their work in the community, Aston Villa has opened up their kitchen and invited children from local schools to come and learn how to cook with the help of the Villa head chef. Villa midfielder, Nigel ReoCoker, visited the children on the opening day. “The kitchen promotes healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.” he said.
A final word from the kitchen
Head chef Ian says: “Footballers know how important food is to their profession and nine times out of ten, they go for the healthiest option.” Do you watch your diet? If you do and you keep yourself fit, you can be a winner!
Every Premier League Club provides footballers with ______________.
A. a good coach
B. a fitness center
C. proper practice and training
D. a delicious diet
According to Jim Henry, ___________________.
A. he believes the studies he has read about organic food
B. he will only eat organic food with his players
C. he thinks food is especially important after a game
D. he chose organic food as a secret weapon for footballers
We can learn from the passage that ___________________.
A. people can make one percent difference to players by using organic food
B. only a few footballers pay attention to the healthy eating
C. footballers in Aston Villa usually eat on their way to the match
D. footballers in Aston Villa usually eat some food within an hour after a match.
Why has Aston Villa invited children from local schools?
A. Because they want to teach kids how to cook delicious food.
B. Because they want to teach kids to play football.
C. Because they are fond of the kids in the community.
D. Because they intend to promote healthy eating.

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆廣東省六校高三第一次聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ____ .
|
A．repeated without any change |
B．treated as a joke |
|
C．made some changes by the parent |
D．set in the present |
2.According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ____ .
|
A．in a realistic setting |
B．heard for the first time |
|
C．repeated too often |
D．told in a different way |
3.The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____.
|
A．makes them less fearful |
|
B．develops their power of memory |
|
C．makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of |
|
D．encourages them not to have strange beliefs |
4.The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ______.
|
A．fairy stories are still being made up |
|
B．there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales |
|
C．people try to modernize old fairy stories |
|
D．there is more concern for children's fears nowadays |
5.One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
|
A．they are full of imagination |
|
B．they just make up the stories which are far from the truth |
|
C．they are not interesting |
|
D．they make teachers of history difficult to teach |
