The end

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware of well-known cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and fair play aren’t the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behavior.

What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee, they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than their behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together.

Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are part of sport.

However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players.

(Adapter from “New English File – Advanced” by Will Maddox)

The word “bolstered” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. inspired.

B. represented.

C. energized.

D. reinforced.

What do you often do after school? In my school, there are a lot of clubs which students can take part in after school hours.

The club that has the biggest number of members is the swimming club called “Blue Dolphins”. I myself love swimming so I am a member of this club. I go to the swimming pool twice a day and swim for about an hour. I’m really interested in swimming breaststroke because it helps me move as fast as I can. I’m also fond of backstroke. I swim backstroke when I want to relax, breathe and let my body float freely. It’s very relaxing.

The second club I would like to mention is the charity club. Its name is “Golden Heart”. Members of the club often do community service. This month, they are conducting a clean-up campaign to protect the environment around the school. They collect trash, clean the toilet area, and grow plants. I am not a Golden Heart’s member, but I participate in their activities whenever I can.

If you can sing, dance or play musical instruments, the musical club “Heartstrings” is definitely for you. The president of the club is Mike, my best friend. He is not only good-looking but also sings beautifully and plays the guitar very well.

In conclusion, we should do as many activities as possible in our free time to have good health and a fresh mind to prepare for lessons in class. Spending all our time studying is not a good idea.

Question. The writer is fond of backstroke when ________

A. he has a competition

B. he is hot

C. he is tired

D. he want to relax
