• 2．When my son first began competing in school chess tournaments，I often chatted with other parents.Occasionally，I would ask if they played chess themselves.Normally，the reply was no.When I volunteered that I was learning to play，their tone was cheerfully joking，"Good luck with that!"If this game is so good，why are adults ignoring it？Seeing someone playing smart phone games，I preferred to say，"Why are you having your kids do chess while you play？"
     Sure，we parents had work to do，work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying.But I was also wondering if we were sending an unnoticeable message that learning was for the young.During one tournament，I saw a group of parents playing chess!Just then，a group of kids passed me， "Why are adults learning chess？"One asked，in an apparently joking tone.
     I was tired of sitting on the sidelines.I wanted in，and that is why I got a membership card and started throwing myself in."Early on，I was nervous，even the master can sometimes play badly，"as one Grandmaster put it"a fan never".And a fan I was.It was three hours of concentration and thinking with my phone off.It felt like a gym where I was trained to solve problems with focus，memory，logic，and occasional headaches.And of course hours of absence of digital devices would never be no good for thinking sharply.
     Being a beginner can be hard at any age，but it gets harder when you are older.The phrase"adult beginner"has an fairly gentle pjye.aiy.It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already learned.
  
  （1）What can we learn about other parents from their remarks？

  
  A．They were ignoring other learners.
  B．They agreed on the idea of learning chess.
  C．They gave congratulations to the adult lessons.
  D．They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.
  （2）How did the child in the second paragraph perceive adults learning chess？

  
  A．Laughable.
  B．Imaginable.
  C．Understandable.
  D．Sensible.
  （3）What do the underlined words"sitting on the sidelines"mean in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．Not being noticed.
  B．Not being involved.
  C．Expressing confusing ideas.
  D．Following what others do.
  （4）What did the writer think of his experience of learning to play chess？

  
  A．It helped him remain calm.
  B．It made him proud of himself.
  C．It helped him train his brain.
  D．It made him look rather funny.

• 9．Tom's family was a small family on the coastal line of a small village.Tom was 11 years old.He was tall，dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams.He had always dreamt of living in a city.He was always his dad's charm，as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom.All he could re-member about his mom was her scars，red and white scars on her face，neck and hands.He always felt unpleasant to see his mom's face.But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old.Not wanting to burden him with it，Tom's parents kept it a secret.

      When Tom turned 16，he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village.The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy.
      Three years later，then came Tom's graduation ceremony.His parents didn't want to be absent from such an important occasion，so they managed to be there without informing Tom.
