Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn, t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension (停赛)of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱 国主义).26. According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have.A. created goodwill between the nationsB. brought about only false national prideC. hardly showed any international friendshipD. put an end to misunderstanding and hatredThe underlined word “disallowed” (in Paragraph 2) means "” .A. permitted to passB. considered as reasonableC. won by the other sideD. refused to acceptWhat did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federationare finished"?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should break up.27. The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen are often against the final decisionsC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipthat unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games28. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.BLike any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's stomach.In time, the labor pains come. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, MichaeFs little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days go by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric (JL帝I*的)specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.vKaren and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby, but now they plan a funeral. Michael keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, nI want to sing to her/ he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn' t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and shouts, nGet that kid out of here now. No children are allowed. Never disturb patients here.n The mother rises up strongly and said/ He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"Karen leads Michael to his sistefs bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings:" You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray" Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate begins to calm down andbecomes steady.“Keep on singing, Michael.n encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.”The next day, the very next day, the little girl is well enough to go home! Woman's Day magazine called it "the miracle of a brother's song”. The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!Never give up on the people you love.29.

No children are allowed to enter the intensive care unit.cA 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 talcs 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.33. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is.A . repeated without any change B. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parent D. set in the presentAccording to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story isA. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different wayThe advantage claimed (提出)for repeating fairy stories to young children is that itA. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefsThe author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadaysOne of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that.A. they are full of imaginationB. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they make teachers of history difficult to teachDChinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned a lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice by two different vans and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and aired by Southern Television Guangdong (TVS), showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct. 13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk.Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl's mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girfs parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her.Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have seethed with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping o
