28、Honesty may seem to be the best policy and a value that parents teach their children. However, a new study has suggested that parents lie to their children more often than we think.
“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying occurs to our children,” said researcher Kang Lee of the University of Toronto, Canada. “Our findings showed that even the parents who attached much importance to honesty with their children got involved in it.”
Researchers ran two studies in which parents and students commented on nine situations where a parent lied to a child to either shape behaviour or make it happy. For instance, a parent is embarrassed by a child's crying and says, “The police will come to make sure that you behave if you don't stop crying now.”
To control the emotion of the child, the parent told the child, “a favorite uncle has just died and become a star to watch over you.”
The researchers tested about 130 parents, mostly moms, asking whether they had told similar lies. More than 70 percent said they taught their children that lying is unacceptable. Even so, nearly 80 percent of the parents admitted they had told at least one similar lie.
Researcher Heyman suggested the reasons can be benefiting the parents themselves or protecting the child from scary issues, such as lying about a murder in the news.
“Children sometimes behave in ways that are likely to harm their long-term interests,” said Heyman. “It is common for parents to try out a number of strategies, including lying. When parents are dealing with the demands of getting through the day, concerns about possible long-term negative influences on children's beliefs about honesty are not necessarily at the front position.”
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．Many parents get used to teaching children by lying.
B．Most parents don't lie to their children.

A．Children may feel happy with the lies.
B．Parents want to free themselves from trouble.
C．Parents need to protect the children from bad things.
D．Children sometimes don't want to know the truth.
【3】According to Heyman _____.
A．negative effects of lying aren't paid enough attention to.
B．children won't be misled about honesty by lying.
C．it's unusual for parents to use lying to educate children.
D．it's strange that some people worry about children's beliefs.
【4】The purpose of this text is to ______.
A．show that children learn to lie from their parents.
B．tell parents the importance of children's honesty.
C．show how to educate children by lying.
D．show parenting by lying is common.
29、The Greatest show on Earth
The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sports in the world. Every four years, many countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honour in sport. As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honour, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.
The Olympic Games always start in a bright colour and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first, for it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.
The runner with the Olympic torch (火炬) then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (宣誓) on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.
The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field，but there are a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in different sports，like riding，shooting，swimming，and cross－country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.
More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as men.
【1】Why is there honour for the losers as well as for the winners?
A.Because losers and winners should be equally treated.
B.Because failure is the mother of success.
C.Because losers need encouragement.
D.Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.
【2】Which of the following is a long－established practice in the opening ceremony?
A.Runners enter the stadium with torches.
B.Each team puts on a wonderful display.
C.The Greek team marches in first.
D.Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.

C.An officer from the host country. D.A Greek sportsman.
