lower level education,children see it as a

of escaping the
classroom,but as they grow older ,it’s simply
looked upon as a huge
waste of time and
energy.
However,engaging in acts of
physical activity from a young age is very
important for both
the

and
physical

,in
middle
childhood(ages6-10)children tend to be
in a stage of development where they think very
literally
and will absorb everything
you teach, do and say,.It is during this stage of
development that they
are most likely
to be taught healthy eating habits,develop
exercise programs and have an interest
in
46
sports.
Physical

III. Reading comprehension
Section A
Direction: For
each blank in the following passage there are four
words or phrases marked
A, B, C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that
best fits the context.
With the sudden
urge for social engagements in the modern world,
many events and activities
are being
promoted to attract teens and adults. While adults
feel out of place in a space filled with
younger aged teens, teens often find
themselves having to ___51___ between two extremes
being
presented by society: either
teens decide to attend these events and are
heavily pressured to
”take
just one sip ,” or ___52___ the popular
act of drinking. The legal drinking age is
currently
eighteen, but the illegal
drinking age is as low as zero. Most people have
their first drink by the
time they’re
13. Unbelievably, that first drink can be
th
e ___53___ of a troubled life.
A few reasons for teens drinking are
peer pressure, enjoyment, ___54___, sadness,
boredom,
rebellion and insomnia. But
the main reason for doing so is “to ___55___ the
law.” Teenagers
become ___56___ with
alcoholic beverages from the moment they enter
high school. That means
that a large
quantity of teens under the age of eighteen have
used alcohol before. Teens feel as
though drinking before the legal age is
a big deal, so they all try to ___57___ the rest
of the
“legal ”society. Being a
___58___ and not following the rules is an
important role of a teen’s life,
though
no one wants to face the consequences of being an
adult.
Despite the fact that it is
legal for young teens to purchase alcohol, they
are able to get it
through
their parents’ liquor cabinets,
___59___ store clerks, or older friends who
purchase it for
them. As we all see, it
is not hard for teens to obtain alcohol. Since
there seems to be no ___60___
of under
age teen drinking in society, why then not just
lower then drinking age? Drinking can
make teens “feel good,” but this
feeling lasts only for a short time. Teenagers on
shows like
Gossip Girl get drunk
regularly, but those shows rarely ___61___ the
problems alcohol can cause.
Teenagers
often think that drinki
ng will give
them more energy, but ___62___ isn’t an energy
drink; it’s a depressant. Alcohol
___63___ damages the brain and body, and for this
to happen at a
very young age, is
saddening. Drinking stimulates poorly made
decisions by teens, and ___64___,
many
teens end up pregnant or dropping out of school.
They may even get hurt or ___65___ in
severe accidents caused by their being
drunk.
