Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.The newly formed Wild Network a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screen and into fields, woods and parks.Organizers say it is the UKs biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general wellbeing.A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS sustainable development unit.Andy Simpson, chairman of the Wild Network, said: The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers（板栗）, camping or snail racing, and observing autumn colour on trees.From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and bright-eyed.This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Dont You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to switch off your TV set, and go do something less boring instead.21. What is the main purpose of the campaign in UK?A. To save 30 minutes for watching TV programme each day.B. To encourage children to play outdoors.C. To see the documentary film, Project Wild Thing.D. To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.22. According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _.A. improving health conditionsB. keeping touch with natureC. learning more about wildlifeD. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time23. The underlined part “ to get children muddy and bright-eyed ” means “_ ”.A. to make children covered with mudB. to urge politicians to do more things for childrenC. to encourage children to take part in outdoors activitiesD. to help children identify common species24. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. A new campaign.B. Less screen, more play outdoors.C. A newly formed Wild Network. D. Children get to know wild things.B Many years ago in a small German town, a Jewish businessman had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the businessmans beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylenders wife and he would forgo her fathers debt. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her fathers debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.They were standing on a pebble-strewn path. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. No doubt she was caught in a dilemma.What would you have done if you were the girl? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的)and logical thinking. Read onThe girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn pathwhere it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy of me!” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.25. The underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 may mean _.A. pay offB. run outC. take over D. give up26. Which of the following indicates lateral thinking?A. The girl refused to take a pebble and fled at once.B. The girl exposed the cheat and found another way.C. The girl picked one pebbles and made it disappear.D. The girl picked a black pebble and accepted the result.27. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path on purposeB. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path by accidentC. The girl didnt know there were two black pebbles in the bagD. The girl replaced a black pebble in the bag28. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Keeping calm when facing a difficult situation.B. Thinking about a complicated problem in another way.C. Thinking twice before making a final choice.D. Coming up with a clever answer is easy.CFor centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the emotionsPeople who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killerFor example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killerHe seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someones life as nothingCold can affect other parts of the bodyThe expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feetThe expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to doFor example, you agree to be president of an organizationBut then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibilityYou are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to faceYou may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to youOr, to someone who has lied about you to othersA cold fish is not a fishIt is a personBut it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmthA cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyoneSomeone who is a cold fish could be cold-heartedNow a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathySeveral popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their loversOut in the cold means not getting something that everybody else gotA person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise-he was left out in the coldAnd it is not a pleasant place to be29When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_”AI give him the cold shoulder BI think he is a cold-blooded manCI think he is a cold fish DIm likely to get cold feet30If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _Ashe is a cold-blooded killer Bshe gets cold feetCshe is a cold fish Dshe is out in the cold31We can use the expression “_” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercyAcold-bloodedBcold shoulder Ccold feetDcold-hearted32The topic of this passage is about _Athe relationship between cold and our bodyBsome expressions about friendshipCsome expressions connected with coldDhow cold weather comes into beingD Fourteen year old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out firstThe contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “I couldnt be thinking about how many mistakes Id make it would distract me from playing,” he says. “I didnt even remember trying to impress people while I played. Its almost as if they werent there. I just wanted to make music.”Hawley is a winner. But he didnt become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph (胜利) but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. “They are interested in winning, but they are most interested in self - development, testing their limits.”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses theyve had and how much theyve learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses setbacks.”A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree“The worst thing you can do if youve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a long depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people dont give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things youve done on the way to a goal33.

According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _A. challenging their own limitsB. learning from othersC. defeating their opponentsD. avoiding setbacks35.
