A

When I was young, my family got our first computer. As years went by, I wanted to get a new one, and my father agreed. We went to many stores and looked at many flyers (小广告). At last we bought an HP computer.

During the first week, I noticed that our computer had some problems. I tried to fix it, but failed. Finally I had to phone the HP company. After five hours’ hard work, the computer still did not work. My dad didn’t have a choice but to return the whole thing.

A few days later, we decided that I should go on the internet and order some parts to build a new computer by myself.

It was not an easy thing for me to deal with it, but in the end I finished. From these setbacks (挫折), I have learned, and now believe if the computer that

I bought from the store didn’t have problems, then I would not learn how to build a new one. Even though I spent lots of time on it, I know it wasn’t a waste of time.

I now have a self-built computer, and I am very pleased. 25. The writer wanted to have a new computer because ____________.

A. he has much money B. the one he had was cheap C. his dad would like to D. the first one was too old 26. ____________, they telephoned the HP computer company. A. Before they bought the HP computer B. A week after they bought the computer

C. A week before they bought the computer D. A few days before they bought the computer

27. Which of the following is true according to this passage? A. The HP computer was very cheap.

B. The writer built a new computer by himself at last. C. The HP company managed to mend the computer at last. D. Dad didn’t like the newly-built computer at all.

B

Sometimes, kids feel that they don’t like sports because they may not understand how to play them or they haven’t had much practice doing them. Sports can seem complicated because of all the rules and special equipment (设备). Even the fields and courts they are played on come in different shapes and sizes and have confusing – looking (令人困惑的) lines drawn on them.

People spend many years learning about their favourite sports and practicing how to do them well. So don’t feel bad if you don’t know the difference between a “corner kick” and a “goal kick” in soccer. If you want to learn more about a sport, you might ask your mum or dad about the programmes that introduce kids to new sports. These may be better than just joining a team that starts playing games right away without much explaining first.

Gym class and programmes at school can also be a way to try new sports with a mix of kids. Another way to learn about a sport is to watch instructional videos or DVDs or check out library books that explain the rules and offer advice for kids to learn to play them.

If you have an older friend or family member who’s good at a sport, you might ask him or her to help you practice. Some sports are just good to understand, even if you never want to play on a competitive team. For example, you might play softball or volleyball, just for fun, at a summer picnic. 28. Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. Sports Are Good for You B. What Sport Is Most Suitable for
