Most people may think that people who write computer code must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.
Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.
But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, consents. She said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”
Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.

Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.
From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.
Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.
In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.

Golf is big business in America,with a total economy estimated at nearly 70 billion dollars.The U.S.is also the world's biggest market for golf equipment,according to a report from Golf Datatech.The other top countries are Japan,South Korea,United Kingdom,Canada and China.But the industry is working on ways to make golf more appealing,especially to young Americans.
The CEO of the U.S.-based World Golf Foundation,Steve Mona,believes the current state of golf is healthy and stable.His group says about 20 million Americans regularly play the game.But Mona also sees the need for change,to get more people to discover and play golf.He said the industry has focused on ways to make the game faster,more playable and fun.
Some golf courses have expanded fairways（球道）so golfers have less chance of losing balls in water or trees. Others move up the starting point for young or new players,so they are closer to the hole.
Some new courses also have fewer obstacles than in the past,such as water ponds or sand traps.And the area near the hole is sometimes designed flatter,to keep the ball from rolling too much.
These changes could also attract adult golfers who want to play a faster,less difficult game.But with young people,Mona said it is important to get them interested at an early age.
Drive,Chip and Putting Championship
One program to do this is the Drive,Chip and Putting Championship,for girls and boys.
The name of the competition refers to golf's three main skills.Driving is when a golfer hits the ball far at the start of the game.A chip is a much shorter shot,usually taken close to the hole.Putting refers to hitting the ball softly in the area near the hole,called the green.
Junior Golf Champions
Girls and boys from all 50 U.S. states compete in the championship.Organizers say the program has been one of the best ways to bring young people to golf.But Mona said it is not enough just to get people interested."The challenge for us in the golf industry is we have to change interest into trial,"he said."And then change trial into actual participation in the game."
Sam Schmitz is studying professional golf management at Eastern Kentucky University.He also believes speeding up the game will get more people to try golf."For the younger generation,the biggest complaint about golf is how long it takes,"he said.A full game can last four hours.
16．What is the passage mainly about?

I returned home the other night, tired. My husband asked me how my evening was, “Great.” I told him. I had spent 90 minutes in a gym with 10 Ping-Pong tables and all kinds of players, all playing a little ball over the net. By 9 pm, I was excited, tired, satisfied. I had beaten two young men half my age and lost battles against other competitors. To an observer, the night was common. To me, it was a lucky thing that I hadn’t expected.
I had taken up Ping-Pong during college, and in my 30s took more advanced lessons. However, a serious accident hurt my leg, which made me unable to take exercise. Months later, I tried to play Ping-Pong but my leg pained for a week. I put the game out of my mind.
When I was 53, one day my bad leg was working a little bit better. Could Ping-Pong be possible for me, now---in my condition, at my age? I tried to play Ping-Pong again
Ping-Pong is a sport which requires endurance(耐力). Players need quick foot work and upper body movements to return balls, requiring faster response time than tennis.
Playing Ping-Pong offers benefits for the brain. A study of 164 women aged 60 and older showed that Ping-Pong improved cognitive(认知)function more than dancing, walking or gymnastics. “The great thing about our sport is that it can be played by anyone,” said Jimmy Butler, a four-time national USA Table Tennis Association winner. “I see 90-year-olds and 10-year-olds.”
Years passed and my endurance improved. People started to praise my shots. I won a game. Then I won agin. These days, I feel wonderful, I believe this sport is the fountain (源泉)of youth.
20．What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She was satisfied with herself that evening
B. She felt disappointed when losing battles
C. She l
