　　Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all “game”ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
　　Thint some of the games you played when you were in a primary school, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seech games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic and practical rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as tarns and cooperating.
　　Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games to help them make preparations for work they will do as grown-ups. For example, some Saudi Arabian children show preference for a game called bones, which sharpens the precise hand-eye coordination needed in hunting.
　　Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympics, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition and make a presentation of their talents. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a precious gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who has earned it and should be praised. For countries facing the pressure of natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
　　Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it–some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope and power through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
　　Next time you play your favorite game or sport, thint why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
　　1. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________________.
　　A. be a team leader B. obey the basic rules

　　3.  Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to __________________.
　　A. bring fun to poor kids B. provide soccer balls for children
　　C. give poor kids a chance for a better life D. call on soccer players to help poor kids

　　Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think constantly. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes to construct your own ideas. Otherwise, you might be controlled by others’ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
　　The word “critical”here contains a special meaning. It doesn’t mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen–beyond the pictures on TV which are often not consistent with reality, the untrue and controversial reports in the newspapers, and the faulty and contradictory reasoning.
