Each age has its pleasures and pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time on useless things. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責(zé)任) to think about. A child is usually fed, looked after and loved by his parents. He will never be expected to do anything in return. In addition(另外), life is always presenting(呈現(xiàn)) new things to a child, but the things have lost their appeal(吸引力) for the old because they are too well-known. Meanwhile, a child has his pains. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do. He is continually(不斷地)being told not to do a certain thing or being punished for what he has done wrong. After a child grows up, he starts to make his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, and he has to work if he wants to live fortably. If he spends most of his time playing in the way he used to play as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may be put in prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society. ( )1.

A. life is never enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happiness C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life D. one can be a happy person only if he can enjoy each age of his life ( )4.

Many old games have gone since modern games came out. Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games. It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar to m any of todays schoolchildren. They like to play puter games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games. An educationist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. Its sad." The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space. Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries. Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. It can help kids practise their jumping skills and develop coordination(協(xié)調(diào)性), and also help them meet lots of friends. It is mon these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies. "When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but todays children dont know what to play or how to play," a 40-year-old mother said. "They dont know what teamwork is." Being worried by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programmes to educate children on traditional games. ( )1. How are traditional games today? A.

I managed to visit the islands during my last two days and yet found myself wondering whether I could extend for a few more days. I rented a boat and came home after a days sailing, refreshed, looking forward to dinner.
