    We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
    “Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
    Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful(糟糕的) lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
    When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
    At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出） “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
    In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.

    Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary（纪录片）

    　　Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.

    　　The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.

    　　Combining footage (镜头) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.

    　　"We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."

    　　While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.

    　　Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

    　　At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.

    　　James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年轻人).

    　　"We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."

    LeBron James achieved his goal set at 8 when         .

           A．he won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics

           B．He won a national championship in high school

           C．he became a collage student

           D．he was interviewed by Kris Belman

    Which of the following is unlikely to be included in the description of James?

           A．Friendly.  B．Faithful.   C．Hardworking.   D．Self-centered.

    More Than a Game is           .

           A．James’ favorite story about his childhood

           B．a documentary filmed by James’ classmate

           C．a film made by Belman

           D．an article a bout James’ high school life

    We can learn from the passage that More Than a Game is        .

    American children are not the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending 3 hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

    ? From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children were not getting enough exercise and that it made no difference whether they live in a rich or a poor country. “With regards to physical levels, we didn’t find much of a difference between rich and poor countries,” Guthold said, “Growing up in a poor country doesn’t necessarily mean kids get more physical activities.”

    ? The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outdoors for at least 5 days a week. Children spending 3 or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games or chatting with friends were classified as sedentary.

    ? The researchers found only a quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30% of girls were sedentary and didn’t get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.

    ? Girls from India were the most active with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active with 4 percent getting enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary while the most sedentary nations were St .Lucia and the Cayman Islands.

    ? People show deep concern for kids’ lack of physical activity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated（认为）that urbanization could be a factor as well as easy access to cars and TVs.

    A. are a diligent student spending much time doing homework

    B. have at least an hour of exercise outdoors 5 days a week.

    C. like watching TV and playing computer games

    D. spend longer hours sitting or lying without moving

    2.Which of the following statements is true as to Guthold’s finding?

    A. Most children around the world don’t meet the exercise recommendation.

    B. Girls in every country are no more active than boys.

    D. Only 4% of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.

    3.All the following statements are wrong except _______.

    A. Children in poor countries get more physical activities.

    B. Girls in Egypt are more active than those in India.

    C. Couch potatoes are those children addicted to snacks.

    D. Children in Myanmar are less sedentary than those in St .Lucia.

    4.What would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the paragraph that follows?

    A. The suitable amount of physical activities for students.

    B. Some of the factors for the popularity of cars and TVs among the kids.

    C. The reasons behind the lack of physical activities.
