Memo

To: All Staff
From: Jalie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee

Date: May 20, 2010

A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select

a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents

asking for more information about it. Here is a memo for your reference when you answer the phones.

Sports 1：Basketball

We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should

be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong

Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There

will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

Sports 2: Gym

We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First,

it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.

Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, shipping , jogging,

outdoor aerobics, all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on

duty for each of the activities.

Sports 3: Hiking

Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes

later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group

of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $75/hr. Students are advised to bring plenty of water and

sunscreen.

Sports 4；Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will

go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the

pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45 pm to 3:45 pm).Only students skillful at swimming can take up this

activity. The pool will have two life guards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost

is $10 per visit.

Keys to the comprehension

1. A。細節理解題。根據文章第二段中We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible.可知選項A正確。根據文章第三段中First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00pm.可排除選項B；根據文章第四段中The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.可排除選項C；根據文章最后一段中Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity.可排除選項D。

2. B。推理判斷題。根據文章第一段的描述，“Sports for Life” programme這個項目并沒有對某一類孩子作出限制，所以選項B正確。根據文章第二段中Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park.可排除A項；根據文章第三段中Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.可知，在Sports 2: Gym中學生才可能在樹蔭下乘涼，故排除選項C；根據文章第三段和第四段可知，只在Sports 2: Gym和Sprots3: Hiking中提到讓學生帶水，故可排除選項D。

3. D。總結歸納題。根據文章第二段至第四段可知，每一項活動都有教師陪同，故選項D正確。根據文章第四段中The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.可排選項A；根據文章第三段中Three activities, shipping ,jogging , outdoor aerobics, all of which are free of charge, will be arranged.可排除選項B；只有Sprots3: Hiking在Kowloon Peak舉行，故可排除選項C。
