Put the chairs in a row back to back. The chairs should be in twos. The game is easy. When the musical starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out (淘汰). Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

23、To Friend or Not To Friend
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
【1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.
A. parents feel secure about their privacy online
B. social networks successfully fill the generation gap
C. parents have realized the importance of social networks
D. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate
【2】Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______.
A. they hide something from their parents
B. they are unwilling to be watched by parents
C. their parents tend to fall behind in technology
D. their parents make negative comments on them
【3】The passage is mainly about _______.
A. privacy online
B. social networks
C. the generation gap
D. parents’ friend requests
【4】The passage is written mainly for _______.
A. parents B. teenagers
C. teachers D. researchers
24、Read Across America Day
Read Across America (RAA) is a day held annually on March 2nd that encourages children in every community to read and also encourages parents and teachers to celebrate the joy of reading. It’s a holiday that has been celebrated since 1998 and falls on the same day as children’s book author Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
This holiday dates back to May of 1997. This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA) came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children. They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies (鼓舞士气的集会), then why couldn’t the same thing be done for reading? So they decided to turn to a Read Across America program that was officially launched on March 2, 1998, and ever since it has continued to grow in size. Today, more than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors (资助者) and more than 3. 3 million NEA members support the effort every year.
This holiday is celebrated in numerous ways. All over the country, libraries, schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their communities. Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read. The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations. This includes Dr. Seuss hats, RAA bookmarks, special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs.
While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community, there are some books that always seem to pop up. Below is a partial(部分的) list of some of the books read by elementary, middle school and high school students.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success — but I was a failure.
Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a theatrical producing company, and had been going to small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But the country was in a depression then. So, jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home. To bring some money into the house, I finally got a job as a recreation room director.
I desired to be a drama star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was, it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to relieve the dullness of my job by teaching some of the town's youngsters music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes. I gave this country girl a name — Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children at three o'clock when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in. “Ophelia,” he said, “we're going to have a bankers' meeting here. I understand that in the evenings you've been teaching some children drama and dancing and singing. Would you let the children perform for the bankers?”
I said, yes, of course. He started to walk away, but then he stopped and turned. “Oh, by the way, M he added,” the speaker Harry Stone, the manager of the great country music station from Chicago is flying here. If he's late, would you mind acting Minnie Pearl?”
I told Jim I'd do it. That night we performed for the bankers. The children sang and danced to old-time and popular songs. We finished the program, and Jim came to me. “The speaker's not here yet. Ophelia, you'll have to help us.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience and said, “I'd like to give you my performance of the country girl.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Unexpectedly one of the bankers in the audience, Bob Turner, who knew Harry Stone, recommended me to Harry.
