By Yu Juan 2010-9-14
Period 1 Welcome to the unit
背景材料導(dǎo)讀
A.
It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不舒服) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to(傾向)forget how they themselves felt when young.
For example, young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
Young people often make their parents angry about their choices in clothes, in entertainment(娛樂) and in music. But they do not mean to cause trouble; it is just what they feel to cut off from the older people’s world into which they have not been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like the music or entertainment or clothes or their ways of speech, this will make the young people very happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “Yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. But if you plan to control(控制) your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility(責(zé)任感), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They don’t need referee(裁判) and don’t have trouble keeping scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. However, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities can’t be directly compared. They also enjoy games that moves in stages(階段), in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the deciding of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled (迷惑不解) at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, (自信的)too, in some games, that it is his place to give orders, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he had caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

9. Why does a child like playing games?

B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
