A
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you eager to enjoy watching the matches or start serving as a volunteer? First, you need to know about audience manners.
The behaviour of courtside audiences is considered to be an important part of sporting culture. In 2004, after world champion Stephen Hendry lost to Ding Junhui in the China Open Snooker Championships, he complained of the noise from Chinesespectators. Perhaps you and your classmates could discuss how to behave while in the audience at the Olympic Games.
Most sporting arenas have rules for spectators written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other trash(垃圾).
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them.
Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is in progress and players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.
Enjoying artistic gymnastics requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behavior includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centres.
To be a good spectator, you should take time to learn the game-specific rules and related culture of each event.
56. What does the word “spectators” mean in the second paragraph? A. players
B. audiences
C. coaches
D. organizers
57. What should you do during an exciting game? A. Control yourself C. Praise the players
B. Keep quiet D. Cheer the players
58. When can’t you clap your hands? A. When players first appear C. When someone fails
B. When an excellent performance is over
D. When a player is finishing a very difficult performance 59.What is the best title of this text?
A. How to be a good audience of Beijing Olympic Games B. How to support players at Beijing Olympic Games C. How to control yourself at Beijing Olympic Games D. How to be a volunteer at Beijing Olympic Games
B
Are British people Europeans? This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white people as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is known as “the Continent”, a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very, very insular（孤立的）. They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe, and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need.
Where did British people come from? This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded（侵略）Britain at different times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B. C., but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: first the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, come of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and second the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”, i. e. the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.
60．The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A．talk about Europeans
B．discuss the origin of British people C．argue for the superiority of British people D．compare the Europeans with Africans and Asians A．most people think white people are Europeans B．there are many Africans and Asians living in Europe C．white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians D．the British people think of themselves as Europeans A．They are different from those people in the continent.
B．They sometimes fail to support the continental countries in time of need. C．They are separated geographically from the continent. D．They are considered very difficult to understand.
61．It can be known from the passage that ______.
62．Why do the British people feel very insular?
