The 2020 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.

But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure. When Liu Xiang, China’s track hero, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics due to injury, he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans. But things are different now. In the 2020 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient Chinese attitude toward the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit.

China didn’t win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing the athletes who failed to finish on top of the podium(领奖台), the majority of fans were happy with their efforts. “Reacting in the right way when an athlete misses out on gold shows the maturity of a person, and is also a challenge for a country to face up to in the process of development,” commented CRI.

Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans’ hearts, even if she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo micro blog have increased 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans appreciated her

straightforward character and attitude toward competition.

“The warm support from Internet users shows that public attitude toward c ompetitive sport and the Olympics have gotten to a higher level,” said an article in the People’s Daily.

24. From passage 2, what can we know about Liu Xiang?

A. He is still a famous athlete.

B. He didn’t complete his event in the Beijing Olympics.

C. The audience desired him little.

D. He was required to give up the competition.

25. What does the underlined word “lenient” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. unhappy

B. serious

C. complaining

D. tolerant

26. People like Fu Yuanhui because of her ________.

A. kindness to the fans

B. winning a bronze medal

C. attitude to competition

D. Weibo mirco blog

27. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage?

A. Learning how to face up to challenge.

B. Winning gold medals is important.

C. Changing attitude to athletes is a must.

D. Getting as many gold medals as possible.

C

During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.

Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked.

I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and

she always told me that I should behavemyself. I was annoyed with her. Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought, "She should be feeling sorry for me."

One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears.

My mom sat down next to me and said softly, "Yes, I do feel sorry for her.

I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught."

I looked up at her, "What are you talking about?"

Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything."

She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food."

It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom's words. Now I am

a happy and successful woman.

D. She told the author this and wanted her to help Tiffany.

34. What do we learn about the author's mother?

B. She cared for other people's children more than her own.

C. She thought that life lessons were as important as money.

D. She was so poor that she couldn't give the author much money.

Television is everywhere around us. Yet it is great for learning English.

The pictures make it easier to understand than radio and because you can see who’s talking, and get a better idea of what people mean. Just watch their “body language”! Watch programs that you find enjoyable and entertaining.

36

Here’s the https://www.360docs.net/doc/d3470477.html, guide to learning as much as possible while watching English television:

37 Learning English should be fun –– not something that you have to force yourself to do. If you have a passion for football, watch matches or

the sports news.

Keep a notebook near to your television. 38 This is especially useful. You can look for programs with sub-titles in your own language.

Try to watch English television regularly. Even if you can only watch

15 minutes a day, you’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. English television is normally aimed at native English speakers. 39 If the programs that you’re watching are full of unknown words, just concentrate on understanding

the general meaning.

Keep a note of television programs and presenters that you find easy to understand and try to watch them regularly. 40 Soon you will impress your friends with your English skills.

A. Don’t watch the programs too easy for you.

B. Better watch programs that you find interesting.

C. Programs often include many difficult words.

D. English learning has little to do with watching TV.

E. Whatever you watch will help you improve your English.

F. Doing this will increase your confidence in learning English.

G. You can take down any new words or expressions that you hear.
