There was a pilot and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the plane when it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes (降落伞). They all became worried and started to make excuses.

“I must go and mend the machine.” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do, so he just jumped out. The first person stood up. “I’m a doctor,” he said. “I help people live longer and I save lives” He also took a parachute and jumped out. The next person said, “I must have a parachute. I am a very clever person, and I have to attend an important sports game. I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out. Two men were left, an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old, but you’re still young.

Sam loved soccer. Ever since he could remember, his family had been spending Saturday mornings watching soccer games. Finally he was old enough to join the beginner team. He was feeling nervous. Sure, he had watched a lot of soccer games, but that didn’t mean he was good at kicking the ball.

Now the morning of Sam’s first game was here. Everyone was running towards the ball. Sam was running too, but it was hard to keep up with the other players. The ball kept rolling back and forth . Just after a few minutes, Sam was tired. A real game felt so much longer than practice.

Sam was about to stop and take a short rest. Suddenly, the ball stopped right in front of him. Sam knew what he had to do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. Then he gave the ball a hard kick. The ball flew into the net (球门网) for a goal. Sam scored his first point! Sam saw some kids jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red T-shirts, not blue ones like Sam’s. Sam looked at the goalkeeper (守门员) in the net. It was his teammate Bryan.

Sam felt his face turn very hot and red. He had kicked the ball into the wrong net! Now the other team was winning the game. It was 1-0. Bryan threw the ball back out onto the field and the players all ran after it. Sam didn’t move. He would never want to play soccer again.

Bryan ran over to Sam. “Great kick!” he said. Sam looked at his face in surprise. Bryan smiled. “Now run down there and kick another one just like it so we can tie!” Sam felt better. “Go!” Bryan called. And Sam ran towards the ball.

Do you always focus on studying and getting “A” grades in school? Most Chinese students work really hard. But in the United States, you might be considered (被认为) bookworm if you can’t socialize (社交). Socializing is as important as your grades. If you just study all the time and don’t socialize, your life won’t be complete (完整的), how does one socialize with students in the US?

Lots of high schools often have soccer games during the autumn term. I didn’t know anything about soccer, but I joined some of the soccer games in order to have fun with my friends. I thought I could learn the rules from others. However, to my surprise, some American students don’t even know the rules but still go to the games in order to socialize. They cheer for the soccer players and have fun together.

The other common way to socialize is to join after-school clubs. You can choose clubs that you are interested in and make a lot of new friends. For example, one of my friends started sketch (素描) club. I was interested in sketching, so I joined the club. There I met lots of students who were also interested in sketching. We soon became friends with each other.

Socializing is an important thing in the US. But grades are still important, too. An all-around student should have the ability to balance (平衡) his or her studying and socializing.

(     ) 12. You might be considered _______ if you cannot socialize the United States.

A. a good student B. a bookworm C. a lazy student D. hard-working student

(     ) 13. How many ways to socialize are mentioned in the passage?
