A
I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1,1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.
I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University—coincidentally ,the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.
When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world. In fact , though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.
That’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.
I’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says—a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I’m an English major, so…”

Children who see their parents drunk are twice likely to get drunk themselves, a survey of young teenagers has suggested. Poor parental supervision also raises the chances of teenage drinking, said the Joesph Rowntree Foundation. If parents don’t know where their children are on a Saturday night, or let them watch films of violence, they are more likely to have had an alcoholic drink.
The survey also found the behavior of friends is also a powerful factor in drinking habits. The more time teenagers spend with friends, the more likely they are to drink alcohol.
In this survey of 5,700 children aged 13 to 16, carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, researchers found that one in five wanted to have a drink by the time they were 14. By the age of 16, half of those questioned said they had been drunk.
Pamela Bremner, scientist of the survey, said, “For the first time in the UK, this study shows what most influences young people’s drinking behavior.”
“It found that the behavior of friends and family is the most common influential factor in determining how likely and how often a young person will drink alcohol.”
Don Shenker, Chief Executive of Alcohol Concern, said, “Government ministers must also look at

some of the causes of why it is so easy for children to get alcohol, usually from the home.” “Governments should look to see if they’ve done everything they can to help the large supermarkets from continuing to sell cheap alcohol which encourages more alcohol sales and therefore results in more alcohol being stored in the home.”
The Royal College of Physicians also said it was not surprising that being able to get alcohol easily was an important factor on current drinking problems and drunkenness of teenagers.
A statement said, “This shows that the government needs to focus more attention on increasing the price of alcohol, and increasing education and national campaigns for both young people and their families on the dangers of alcohol.”
9. How many teenagers admitted that they had been drunk in the survey carried out by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation? A. About 5700.
B. About 1200.
C. About 2800.
D. About 4200.
10. Who should be responsible for the fact that some teenagers formed the habit of drinking besides their parents and friends, according to Don Shenker? A. teachers.
11.Which methods can help reduce the chances of teenage drinking according to the passage?
a. Parents should strengthen supervision. b. Parents should set a good example.
c. The government should increase the price of alcohol. d. The supermarket that sells alcohol should be punished.

FAMOUS US columnist (专栏作家) George F. Will once wrote: “Baseball is a habit. The slow build to the end of each game, the rhythm of the long season—these are the essentials and they are remarkably unchanged over nearly a century and a half. Of how many American institutions (制度) can that be said? ”
He is right. Baseball, only one word, is enough to make millions of people in the US think of many images—spring afternoons, cold beers and hot dogs.
As the USA Today newspaper put it, “A hot dog at the ballpark is always better than one out of
2024
the microwave. ”
Delicious treats aside, baseball is also a game for fathers and sons to enjoy. They play catch with each other on lawns(草坪)and in parks for many years. Fathers pass down favorite teams to their sons. Grandfathers share stories of games played long ago.
Many US children try to collect trading cards with the pictures of their favorite players on them. In schools it is as likely for friends to trade baseball cards as it is for them to trade lunches.
Baseball players are known as“the boys of spring”because that is the time of year at which the sport is most often played; indeed, the new season of MLB(Major League Baseball)began on April 3. And the players come in all shapes and sizes. To play baseball you don’t have to be tall like a basketball player or strong like an American footballer. You just need to want to have fun.
Besides, baseball games are not as fast-paced(快节奏的)as basketball games so they allow viewers to relax, talk and get to know each other.
Today, baseball is not the US’ most-watched sport, but it is its most historical. It has gone past being simply a game and has become part of the fabric(构造)of US culture.
As The Telegraph newspaper noted, “Baseball is as American as apple pie, red, white and blue(the colors of the US national flag)and Grandma’s house. ” 12. The main purpose of the text is to______.
A. tell us about the development of baseball in the US B. explain what baseball means to Americans
C. inform us of the differences between baseball and basketball D. introduce the beauty and tradition of baseball in the US 13. Compared with basketball, ______. A. baseball games have a faster pace
B. baseball players are usually stronger and shorter C. baseball is more enjoyable than exciting D. baseball is America’s most watched sport
14. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Selling baseball cards is popular among American school children.
B. Favourite baseball teams are usually shared by different generations in the same family. C. Baseball is relatively new compared to other sports in the US. D. Most baseball matches in the US are played on lawns and in parks.
