unit 12EducationPreviewEducation has long been given a priority in a civilized society。

It is mostly believed that the sole responsibility for educating students lies on teachers，and for any wrong—doing in students' behavior and any low achievement in students' performance teachers are to blame. Is it fair? Education is a constructive and cooperative job。

Virtually, parents have a critical role to play in the process of child education。

How should teachers and parents work together to provide better cultivation to children? Maybe，we need more parents to put more effort into their parenting and into creating the environment in which their children come to school ready and willing to learn.I．Text ReadingWarm—upHow should parents raise their children properly，and create a better circumstance for their children？Parents are the first teachers for their children. Parents' behavior，efforts they take，and the surroundings they create have critical impact on their children。

Many sports which nowadays are played all over the world grew up to their present-day form in Britain. Football is perhaps the best example, but among the others are horse-racing, golf, lawn tennis and rowing.Many people, both foreigners and the British, consider cricket to be the most typically English sports. It is true that cricket, unlike football, has until recently remained a specifically British game, played only in Britain, in some parts of the British Common-wealth and in Denmark. But it would be wrong to say that cricket is the most popular British sport which is, undoubtedly, football. Nevertheless, it remains true that for most Englishmen the sight of white-flannelled cricketers on the smooth green turf of a cricket pitch represents something that is traditionally English.Cricket and football, however, are merely the two most popular sports in Britain; there are many others. In the summer, lawn tennis probably comes next in importance to cricket. There are clubs in every town and in most parks there are public courts where tennis may be played for an hour for about one pound. Swimming is very popular and there are many public swimming pools. The annual Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge universities on the river Thames is, however, one of the most popular sporting events of the year. Golf is becoming increasingly popular and many clubs are having to turn prospective members away. Athletics is growing all the time.The most popular winter sport after football is rugby which remains a largely amateur game. Winter sports such as skiing are generally impossible in Britain due to the unsuitable climate, but more and more people spend winter holidays on the Continent in order to take part in winter sports.One reason for the great interest in sport in Britain is the Englishman's fondness for a little "gamble". Gambling has always been an essential part of such sports as horse-racing and dog-racing and, in recent times, doing the "football pools" has become a national pastime. But whether as gambler, spectator or player, most Englishmen have some interest in at least some sports.1. Which sport is regarded as typically British?2. Which of the following is the most popular sport in Britain?3. What sport comes next in importance to cricket in the summer?4. Considering the unsuitable climate, which of the following sports is impossible in Britain?5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?ii.1. Britain; the British Common-wealth; Denmark2. Oxford and Cambridge; Thames3. horse-racing; dog-racing; doing the "football pools"; gambler, spectator or player4. increasingly popular; turn prospective members away.Passage II: The Olympic SpiritThe Olympic FlagThe Olympic flag has a plain white background with no border. In the center are five rings forming two rows of three rings above and two below. The rings of the upper row are, from left to right, blue, black and red. The rings of the lower row are yellow and green.The rings are thought to symbolize the five continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America. It is widely believed that the colors of the rings were chosen because at least one of them can be found in the flag of every nation, though this has never been confirmed as the intention of the designer.The flag was presented by Games founder Baron de Coubertin at the 1914 Olympic Congress, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the IOC. It was first flown in Alexandria, Greece, but made its Olympic debut at the 1920 Antwerp Games. This well-worn flag was finally retired after the 1984 Games, and a new one flown at the 1988 Seoul Games.The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred flame burned at the altar of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1982.Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin by a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.1. When did Baron de Coubertin present the first Olympic flag?2. How are the rings of the lower row on the Olympic flag arranged?3. Where was the Olympic flag flown for the first time?4. When was the Olympic flame finally reintroduced to the Olympic Games?5.

Unit 12 ThanksgivingSoon they will be together again, all the people who travel between their own lives and each other’s. The package tour of the season will lure them this week to the family table.很快，所有在人生路途中漂泊的人们将相聚一堂。
