As sixth graders, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn't sure where I belonged.
Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week. We were
supposed to do nice things 1 our friends without letting them know who was doing it.
We could leave 2 notes or cards either on their desks or in their backpacks. Before
doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we drew a name of a classmate
who we
were to secretly befriend over the next five days.
Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving 3 instead of notes.
Everyone was getting cool presents except me. My friend followed the teacher's 4
without a fault. I received nothing but handmade cards with nice words about me.
On the last morning, I finally got a package. When I opened it, the girls around all
5 . It was perfumed powder(香粉), an “old lady” gift. My face went red.
I tried to forget about the 6 gift, but when the same girls 7 it again during
the break in the bathroom, I joined in, “How stupid! My grandmother wouldn't 8
want it.” The girls laughed at my words and went out of the bathroom. Washing my
hands, I
let the water run through my fingers 9 I thought about my words. It wasn't 10
like me to say things like that.
“I'm your secret friend.” It was Rochelle. “I' m sorry about the gift,” she whispered to
me,
tears streaming down her face.
From a poor family, she was a target(靶子)at school for those with rich parents. Yet
she
just took all the horrible treatment silently.
I was sick to my stomach as my 11 words ran through my mind. She had
heard everything. How could I have been so cruel?
Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool
present. And I had ruined everything for her. I told her that I had only said those
things to
try to fit in(融入其他人).
“We aren't that different from each other, are we?” She smiled 12 . Her simple
words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine.

It is football time again. The qualifying rounds are being played to decide which
countries will send teams to the next World Cup. Some Soccer is becoming more and
more
popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.
The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their
teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope
an
attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a
boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.
Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is
action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom show their loyalty(衷心)
by
wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior.
They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing
deafening songs.
There is much rivalry(对抗 ) between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but
trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong
decision,
perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to
notice a
foul(违规) made by a member of the other team.
When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium
officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as prevention
against
fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the
worst
cases, riot (暴乱) police have to be called in.
Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violence of football. These football
hooligans(流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people
to
throw stones and bottles at them. They regard football not only as a sport, but as an
excuse
for trouble makings. Therefore, their behavior harms the reputation(名声) of the
game.
1. The qualifying rounds are played to_____.
A. make the game more exciting
B. attract soccer fans at club level
C. raise money for the organization
D. choose the teams for the next rounds
2. What do football fans hope to see?
A. A home game.
B. A defensive game.
C. An exciting game.
D. A closely matched game.
3. Riot police are called in_____.
A. to stop fighting happening outside the ground
B. to separate the opposing fans inside the ground
C. as prevention against trouble inside the ground
D. as prevention against fighting outside the ground
4. It is implied(暗示) in the last paragraph that_____.
A. football has a poor reputation
B. football hooligans are crazy about the games
C. football fans enjoy spoiling games
D. football can be an excuse for troublemaking

You either have it, or you don’ t — a sense of direction,that is. But why is it that
some
people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose
themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly
understood
how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply
worked
harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports
this
idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim
Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out
alone or
are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also says that young people should be taught certain skills to improve
their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
●If you are using a map, turn it so it connects with the way you are facing.
●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a
tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return,
go
back along the same route.
●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town,
streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know
how
far you have gone and note any landmarks to help you.
Now you need never get lost again!
