Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students.It is my 1 (honorable)to be here to give a talk to all of you.I have studied in this school for five years.In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me 2 to all of you here, and it is “reading”.I can always gain knowledge from reading.Reading doesn't not 3 up a lot of time but I gain a lot.Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you.
I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 4 (write)by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan.While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence.In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the 5 of success.In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 6 training hard.Because of his efforts, he successfully entered NBA.
However, he did not stop his training. 7 , the training was even stricter, 8 prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!' While the criticism against him diminished, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal--the championship of NBA.Finally, he succeeded.
People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball' not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence.While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well.Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him.As long as we work hard, 9 is impossible.Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality.Nobody is born wise.Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement.My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 10 .When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community.Let's work hard together!Work for our future!Thank you

Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that ff countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athlets, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.
One country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side's victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: "This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished. "The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals , or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.
According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.
A. brought about goodwill between the nations
B. made only false national pride
C. hardly showed any international friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
What did the manager mean by saying, "... Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished"? ________.
A. His team would no longer take part in international games
B. Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisions
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society
D. The society should be dismissed
What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? ________.
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved
B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game
D. International contests lead to misunderstanding between nations.

Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
"We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
"There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month._________________
