VI. Reading comprehension
 The contestants came from schools all over the province, but I don't know if this included small places or not. It seemed that the students were coming from the cities. I do know they had to be in a local competition before coming to Nanjing Each school was represented by anywhere from one to six children.
 As you can see, they performed rather elaborate skits, some of which included songs and dances. The costumes and props were often quite elaborate, at each level. The first two days, Monday and Tuesday, were for primary school children. First, a school's pupils performed, then they had to answer some questions. First through fourth grade children had to answer questions about a cartoon-style picture. Fifth and sixth grade students had to watch a short educational TV segment, which had been made a few years ago by the Jiangsu Education Bureau and then answer questions about that. No matter how many students were in a group, the computer chose only one of them to answer the questions, though the other children could make suggestions to the selected one. In many instances, particularly for the junior and senior groups, it seemed to Richard and me that the lot often fell on the student least able to do well. The younger the participants, the more likely they were to listen to their colleagues. Senior students seldom listened to anybody, much to the chagrin of some of their colleagues who felt that they knew better how to answer the questions.
 Decide whether the following sentences are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).
1. There were from 1 to 6 representatives for each school.
2. Songs and dances are included in every performance.
3. Answering questions followed the performance.
4. Who to answer was decided by the computer.
5. Younger kids rarely listens to their colleagues.
TEST 2
(Time allowed: 45 minutes)
I. Reading comprehension
 The first two days were traumatic for me. The little children often could not understand the question. They can memorize anything, but in order to answer, you have to understand the question. That was a problem, particularly for the younger
children. The idea was to ask four simple questions (what colour is the lady's dress, how many people do you see, etc.) and then to ask some question that would elicit some sentences. It was a terrible feeling to stand there and see their little faces and know they did not know what you said.
 The junior middle school (sixth through ninth grades) students did much better. They did their performances, of course, and then listened to the recorded paragraphs or dialogues, which were read twice, very slowly, and then answered questions about the content. Again, the first four questions were to be fairly simple, with the fifth question to elicit a more extensive response, perhaps based on their own experiences as related to the concepts or experiences from the tapes! Most of them did fairly well, so those two days were less stressful. It was still necessary to speak a little slowly and to be selective in our vocabulary, but most of them could do it. The award ceremony you see there was the way they did it. Each school had one representative and all those at the third level came up and got' a little clear plastic statuette, then the second level, and then the first level. They didn't name any single winner, so everyone got something and no one group was singled out, though the numbers were posted, so they did know who got the! highest scores.
 Answer the following questions.
1. What canthe little children do?
2. Why was the first two days traumatic?
3. Who are the junior middle school students?
4. How were the first four questions in comparison with the latter ones?
5. Was there any winner in the competition?
