Questions 1-5arebasedon the following passage:
Attention-deficit disorder (ADD) happens with about 5% of children in school. These children show signs of not paying attention or doing things without thinking first. They may not be able to follow more than one direction at a time. Their actions can be quick and they talk like they are in a hurry. Doing these things is called “being hyperactive.” Many of the children who are looked at for ADD seem hyperactive. They tend to bother other students at the wrong times. Sometimes a child with ADD is labeledaslazy,excited,oratroublemaker.Manytimestheproblemisnottheirfaultandthey can not control it. About half of the children with ADD usually stop their ADD behavior by the time
they become an adult. Those that do not lose their ADD behavior continue to have a hard time staying on one task for very long. There are many reasons why a person may have a hard time focusing on a task for very long. A doctor will need to see or hear about how the person acts in a lot of different
places. The medical history of the person is important, too. There are tests that can be given to help in seeing if the person has ADD. Sometimes medicine can help a person with ADD. It can help the person to focus on a task longer and to cut down on responding to distractions. The medicine must be given bya doctor andtheperson with ADD carefullywatched to seeifthemedicineis helping.

PassageTwo
Questions 6-10are based on the following passage:
The strong tie between organized sports and the competitive ethic (准则)has given greater importance to men′s sports than to women′s, since man′s role in the United States is viewed as more competitive and aggressive than woman′s. As one high school teacher stated more than two decades
ago: “Our culture does not require girls to compete against each other in physical activity to achieve theacceptable female image. Ourculturedoes requireboys to do so.” During the last fifteen years, however, this has been changing, and a stronger emphasis on equality for women has emerged in all facets (方面) of American life, including organized sports. High schools and colleges have been urged to give more emphasis to women′s sports and to spend more moneyon them. In fact,laws governing equalityhaverequired manyschoolsto do so.
It is still true, however, that most Americans believe men′s organized sports are more important than women′s. In high school, and to a lesser extent in college, males earn popularity and recognition through competing in organized sports, while females often earn these same things by being cheerleaders. The cheerleader does not compete. Rather, she is part of a group of pretty girls who lead the people watching football or basketball games in cheering for the school team, which is composed of competitive young men.
The difference in roles between the males and females at major sports events reflects differences in traditional roles later in life, when men are expected to compete for economic success and women aresupposed to give men emotionalsupport as wivesand homemakers.
