They don,t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages,in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the pick-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children 's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled(困惑)at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident(自信)too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend(假装)to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone,or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they Imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

A. They are not interested in games.
B.They find children's games too easy.
C. They don't need a reason to play games
D. They don't understand children’s games.
46. Why does a child like playing games?
A.Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game. For years, business people in Western Europe were worried. They knew they could not compete against business from the U. S. The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European country.
Some European people realized that European nations needed to join together to help each other. If they could forget their language differences and the differences in customs, they might become strong competition against other countries.
In 1958, six of the European countries—Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Italy got together and decided to cooperate. They called their group the European Economic Community, or the Common Market. These countries agreed to join their resources together.
Within a few years, the European Economic Community had worked so well that its members were more prosperous than many other European nations.

It is helping Western Europe to again take its place as a leader among the industrial nations of the world.
