Tattooing has been around for thousands of years The act of making a permanent design or mark

on the body was originally (26) to provide magical protection against disease and misfortune Later, it was used to show a person's social status The Romans, for example, used to tattoo slaves and criminals

With the arrival of Christianity in Europe, tattooing was forbidden It virtually died out for hundreds of years, until European explorers came into (27) with American Indians and Polynesians in the 17th and 18th centuries Sailors would return from long voyage, decorated with

large and elaborate designs Many of these sailors later joined circuses, and earned a living by showing their tattoos to the public

Nowadays, tattooing is neither as unusual, (28) _as popular as it once was Tattoo parlors

do exist, but most people are unwilling to go through the rather painful procedure On the other hand, temporary tattoos are becoming increasingly common The design, (29) _lasts for three to six weeks, is painted painlessly onto the skin

Other people still prefer the original, permanent techniques, of course The world record for the most-tattooed person is held by Tom Leppard from Scotland His leopard-skin design covers 99.2% (30) _ his body surface!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

People think children should play sports Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with others However, playing sports can have negative effects on children It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or

called names while playing sports This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports They

think sports are just too aggressive

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children’s sports They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior This

behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback Parents and coaches

are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything At children’s sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television

As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children They also need to teach children better values They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not It is not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports Winning is not everything In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again
