Although his family thought he would have serious difficulties living a normal life, he started walking before he was one year old. His mother would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. It took him a while to make the jump from walking to playing football, but he did make it.

In his school, the skillful youngster is not only the best player in his school team but also the captain of his gym team.\nHe knows that his disability means he'll never be able to play for a professional football team. So Gabriel is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympics sport. He proved to everyone there he could go head to head with any other boy. Watching him play is unbelievable.

As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains , no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.\nHe saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. \"Well,\" the trainer said, \"when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.\"\nHow could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn't.\nJust like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

But can you imagine that they can be made of bamboo? Do you want to know how a bamboo bike is produced? Do you want to make your own bike with bamboo? You can do it at the Bamboo Bike Studio in New York. People there can teach you how to make your own bamboo bike.\nThe studio is also helping build factories in Ghana , which is a country in western Africa. The factories will make cheap bamboo bikes.\nBamboo is as good as steel for building a good bike. Marty Odlin works at the studio. He says a bamboo bike is the wonderful everyday bike.\nIn Ghana, bikes are very popular. Few people have money to buy a car.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures--those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans . Now, however, there are more people who look for an excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.\nI would think bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles . You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other risky activities include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the water from the top of high places.\nWhy do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern world has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were often in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was harder than that of the present days.\nNowadays, to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.\n\n<question>:\nMore and more people today _ .\n\n<options>:\nA are trying activities such as bungee jumping\nB are climbing the highest mountains\nC are coming close to death in sports\nD are looking for adventures such as travelling into exciting parts of the world\n\n<answer>:\n",

Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health.\nTests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.\nOther tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.\nThere is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body's immune system that is the system which fights infection . In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group -- in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.\nAs a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.\n\n<question>:\nDoctors have found that laughter_.\n\n<options>:\nA keeps down blood pressure\nB has similar effects to physical exercise\nC decreases the heart rate\nD increases stress and pain\n\n<answer>:\n",

With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you _ .When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything.\nCommunication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say \"Hi\", and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.\nIf you looked up the word \"communication\" in a dictionary, it would say \"the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information, correspondence , means of communication: a letter or a message\". To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.\nWhen dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.\nHere is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.\nCommunication isn't a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.\n\n<question>:\nIn the writer's view, dealing with parents is _ than with children.\n\n<options>:\nA more difficult\nB much easier\nC less interesting\nD more interesting\n\n<answer>:\n",

Even if you just say \"Hi\", and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.\nIf you looked up the word \"communication\" in a dictionary, it would say \"the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information, correspondence , means of communication: a letter or a message\". To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.\nWhen dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.\nHere is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.\nCommunication isn't a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.\n\n<question>:\nAll the following statements are correct except \" _ \".\n\n<options>:\nA Communication is a two-way matter\nB It is better to say \"Hi\" to others than say nothing\nC If you don't agree with others, you'd better let them know\nD When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them\n\n<answer>:\n",
