Sportsmanship is just as important in everything we do in life as it is in games and sports. Some
rules for good sportsmanship are given below. If your follow all of these rules, then you are, no
doubt, a good sport.
Show
consideration


31


others
.
Helen
took
turns
with
her
older
sister
and
mother
in
washing the dinner dishes. However, she always left the pots and pans for either her sister or mother
to do. “I don’t like to wash pots and pans,” she’d say. Probably her sister and mother didn’t enjoy
washing pots and pans

32
. Helen was being a poor sport
—
she was thinking only of herself and
not showing consideration for others.
When you have an unpleasant job to do, remember it is also unpleasant for others. Don’t pity
yourself or try to get someone else to do it for you. Go


33

with your difficult, dull tasks, and
help others when they are doing an unpleasant task. Also, follow the golden rule of doing for others
as you would have them do for you, and then you can be sure that you are showing consideration.
Follow the rule of

34


game
. In playing a game, there are certain rules which all must follow in
order that the game be played fairly. If one doesn’t follow these rules, he is not allowed to continue
playing.
There are rules for doing many things in life in addition to playing games. There are rules for
doing your school work, crossing the street, participating in fire drills, driving a car,



35


wild
flowers in certain places, putting out campfires, and many other things. These rules are made not
only for your own good, but also for the good of others. It is just as important that you follow these
rules in daily activities as it is for the football player to follow the rules in a football game.
Work with the team
. Ted gave up an opportunity to win the silver cup for himself because he
didn’t want to take the chance of having his team lose the game
.
He was more interested in the
happiness of all Kenmore students than in his personal happiness

36
winning the cup.
Even though you are not always playing a game, you are nearly always working or playing
with a kind of team. Y
our class in school is a team. A
committee which is asked to do a certain thing
in the classroom is a team. The group of friends with whom you spend much time



37

of
school is a team. Y
our family is a team.
It is just as important for you to help each of these teams to accomplish whatever it sets out to
do as it was for Ted to do what he did to help his basketball team win the game. Usually, each group
has a certain goal or goals it is attempting to


38

. It is your job to support the “team” in every
way you can to help it reach its goals.
Be
a
good
loser
.
One
of
the
important
rules
of
good
sportsmanship
is
to




39
disappointment, defeat, or bad luck with a smile. Then start trying harder than ever to do what it is
that you want to do successfully next time.

A
good loser


40


complains, makes excuses, sulks, or hits back with words when he fails
at something. Doing any of these things can bring no good to anyone. They may be harmful to the
loser in the future. The thing to do is to clear your mind of the old disappointment and give all of
your thought and energy to new goals ahead.

III. Reading Comprehension
(40%)

Section
A:

There
are
2
passages
in
this
section.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
true-false
questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false(F).

Passage 1

The air surrounding us is important to everyone. Without air, we could not exist. Everyone
understands that. But air is necessary in many other ways---ways that are not always so obvious or
widely known.
For
example,
if we
did
not
have
air,
there would
be
no
sound. Sound
travels
through
air.
Where there is no air, there is no sound. Without air, there would be no fire. There would be no
automobiles, since motors need air in order to operate.
Without air, there would be no wind or clouds. There would be no weather, as we know it. The
night time would be very cold and the days very hot. We would be forced to seek shelter from the
sun, as there would be no atmosphere to prote
ct us from the sun’s deadly rays.

The atmosphere is all the air surrounding the earth. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of all
that air against the surface of the earth. If we did not have atmospheric pressure, we could not have
automobile tires. The tires would swell or burst if they did not have the pressure of the atmosphere
against their surfaces.
Large and powerful, the atmosphere consists of an ocean of gases hundreds of miles high. It
presses down on our bodies with a force of more than fourteen pounds per square inch. The narrow
column of air which rests upon our shoulders weighs almost 2,000 pounds. But our bodies are built
in such a way that its weight does not crush us.
In this huge ocean of air there is more energy than in all the coal, oil, and gas we have on earth.
Electrical
energy
is collected
in
the
atmosphere
as water
is collected
and
stored
in
a
dam.
The
existence of electricity in the air has been known for centuries. Men have gazed in wonder at the
bright patterns of lightning in storm clouds. But a thorough study of electricity in the atmosphere
was not possible until the development of radio and radar.
One scientist, Dr. Sydney Chapman, has tried to explain the electric field which surrounds the
earth. He believes that the great storms on the sun create large amounts of electric energy. This
energy is contained in a very light gas called hydrogen. The earth pulls the gas toward it, and a ring
is formed around the earth several thousand feet above its surface. The great space ring is a powerful
current of electrical energy. Sometimes the ring comes down and curves into the lower atmosphere,
causing strange electrical effects.
Dr. Chapman’s ideas explain many things. It has long been known that there is an electric
field inside the earth.
It moves in much the same manner as the electric energy contained in the
atmosphere. Scientists now believe that the electric energy in the atmosphere causes the electric
energy inside the earth to flow.
If we can learn to control the energy in the atmosphere, we will have an unending supply of
energy. Many scientists are trying to learn how to control it. In the meantime, even those of us who
are not scientists have begun to pay attention to air. We realize that air does not contain the same
elements that it contained years ago. Automobiles, airplanes, factories, and atomic explosions have
added dust and waste gases to the atmosphere. It is time to learn how to protect our atmosphere, the
roof over the world of man.























51. The atmosphere consists of oceans and gases hundreds of miles high.

52. There is more energy in all the coal, oil and gas on earth than we have in air.
53.
Many of the facts about electricity in the atmosphere could not be learned before the radio and
radar were developed.
54.
Now people are beginning to pay more attention to the earth’s atmosphere.

55. Air contains the same elements that it contained years ago.

Passage 2

Changes
in
the
volume
of
unemployment
are
governed
by
three
fundamental
forces:
the
growth of the labor force, the increase in output per man- hour, and the growth of total demand for
goods and services. Changes in the average hours of work enter in exactly parallel fashion but have
been quantitatively less significant. As productivity rises, less labor is required per dollar of national
product, or more goods and services can be produced with the same number of workers. If output
does
not
grow,
employment
will
certainly
fall;
if
production
increases
more
rapidly
than
productivity, employment must rise. But the labor force grows, too. Unless gross national product
(total final expenditure for goods and services corrected for price changes) rises more rapidly than
the sum of productivity increase and labor force growth (again modified for any change in hours of
work), the
increase
in
employment
will
be
inadequate
to
absorb
the
growth
in
the
labor
force.
Inevitably the unemployment rate will increase. Only when total production expands faster than the
rate of labor force growth plus the rate of productivity increase and minus the rate at which average
annual hours fall does the unemployment rate fall. Increases in productivity were more important
than growth of the labor force as sources of the wide gains in output experienced in the period from
the end of the war to mid-sixties. These increases in potential production simply were not matched
