While staying with a family, I found their teenage son, David, aged 16, didn’t share his true feelings with his parents. If his parents were present when I asked him how he felt about things, he would look down or away or say something unrelated such as, "Today, I will go out. "or "Okay, I guess. "However, when we were alone he would open up and tell me how he felt. For example, while sitting at the dinner table, I asked him how he felt about his history class and the teacher. He thought for a moment but said nothing. I thought he was afraid to answer in front of his parents, so later I asked him again in private. He said, "On a scale (級別) of 0-10, it is a big fat zero. He is the most boring teacher I have ever had. "I asked him why he didn’t tell me this earlier. He said it was because his parents didn’t want to hear that. They just wanted to hear that everything was wonderful and they always told him to stop complaining.
     This made me think a lot. My belief is that children are born with the desire to share feelings. I also believe they are born with perfect emotional honesty. Unfortunately, such valuable things are disappearing gradually. It really is a great loss, which I believe, will negatively affect both the children’s ability to know about themselves and their success in future relationships.
     I see the situation as a missed opportunity, an opportunity for parents to get closer to their children, an opportunity to understand their children and to help them feel understood; however, communication gaps (分歧) have been made. Parents are more interested in "correcting" their children’s ways of expressing themselves than in getting to know their children.

1. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. David is not good at talking B. David likes showing his true feelings in public

C. David hates his parents　　 D. David dislikes his history teacher

2. According to the author, children who don’t show their true feelings ____________.

A. won’t succeed in their future careers

B. will not have good relationship with their parents

C. won’t have clear ideas of themselves
D. will have no difficulty getting along with others

3. The author thinks that parents should ____________.
A. stop complaining about their children

B. try to understand their children’s true feelings

C. find more ways to communicate with their children
D. correct their children’s ways of communication

    Ball Management

Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting for their opponent to find a ball to serve(發(fā)球).

Behavior & Attitude

Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you play, so try to have fun and stay positive.

Pace

Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready after making an attempt at returning the serve.

For Spetators(觀眾)

Cheering

While it is seen as proper etiquette(禮儀）to remain silent during the live play, loud and spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a high level when the crowd is actively involved.

Leaving and returning to your seat

During live play it’s expected that all spectators will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看臺) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other audience.

Photography

The issue of camera shutter(快門) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography should be avoided during live play.

1.During warm-ups, tennis player ______________.

A. ought to hit a full pace

B. can place their shots anywhere

C. should not practice competitively

D. had better run around the whole court

2.According to the text, during tennis matches, _____________________.

A. players can slow the game down when tired

B. players don’t have to keep a ball in their hand

C. the receiver shouldn’t return the serve if not ready

D. loud cheers are not allowed even after hard-earned points

3.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________________.

A. flash photography is acceptable on the golf court

B. tennis fans can use flash photography during matches

C. the noise from cameras is not permitted in tennis matches

D. tennis matches require a less degree of quiet than golf ones

4.What’s the text mainly about?

A. Some tips for tennis players to win a match.

B. What to do while watching tennis matches.

C. How to behave properly in tennis matches.

D. Rules tennis players must obey in matches.

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.”

Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life?” and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．

Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．

It’s important to visualize（想象）yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties（不利）of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself, without realizing it, to stay off planes．

Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．

When the day arrived, I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it, and I still use the techniques I employed that day．

1.According to the passage, if you want to be successful, the first thing for you to do is   ________．

A．find the right methods                   B．be careful about everything

C．know your ability                        D．have a clear goal

2.If you have a target, you will ________．

A．wander like a sleepwalker

B．know well what you are doing

C．do the same work every day

D．put it into words

3.The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that________．

A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel

B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal

C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying

D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A．Define Your Coal

B．Visualize Rewards of Success

C．Overcome the Fear of Air Travel

D．Sleepwalking Through Life
