Don't Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports

When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach said that I had lots of potential, and I became captain of my 36 . That was before all the fun was taken out of 37 .

At first, everyone on the team got 38 playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the 39 started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra money so their daughters could have 40 one-on-one training, got angry when she didn't give them more playing time in our 41 . The coach was replaced.

The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was 42 . I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the 43 . Of course, all teams run drills; they are 44 . But we ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble 45 . Younger people shouldn't be doing exercises 46 for 18-year-olds.

I was very thin 47 I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn't eat much, because I was afraid of being too 48 to run. I feared making mistakes, and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual 49 .

Is all this pressure necessary ? I 50 up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That's 51 , because they had so much potential. They were just burned-out with all the pressure they 52 from the coach or their parents.

I continued playing football at school and 53 my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing 54 him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I 55 down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it's a lot easier to do it well.

Television ,the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound,1. And the word "television" means "seeing far".

Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.

The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.

The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast "live" from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic "moon walk" to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.

The seriously depressed person sees himself in a very negative way. He is sure that he is alone and hopeless. He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortcomings which he exaggerates. He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future. He becomes less interested in what is going on around him and doesn't get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite common. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and common.

Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide.

So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness. Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide. But the relationship is striking. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed. Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to commit suicide than is the non-depressed person. The greatest risk occurs during or immediately after hospitalization. After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very depressed person. Almost twice as many women as men suffer from depressive illness. Almost twice as many women as men attempt suicide, but three times more men than women succeed.

C. no men and women commit suicide

D. depressive illness is most obvious in men

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.

66.The story took place in ____.

A. spring B. summer C. fall D. winter

67. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because___.

A. he wanted to make extra money.

B. he saw that Robin was young and rich.

C. he was going to row across the river anyway.

D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor.

68. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _____.

A. worn-out B. very expensive C. handmade D. much too big

69. From the way he looked, it was evident that Robin was ____.

A. a wealthy merchant's son B. a country boy

C. a soldier D. a foreigner

70.How did Robin appear as he walked into the town?

A. He was cheerful and excited. B. He was tired.

C. He seemed very sad.

D. He seemed frightened by the strange surroundings.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.

"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens　going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. "

But Hyde couldn't go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.

Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn't needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.

"Just about that time, "Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He'd blown his engine. Now he had to stop. "

"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn't have a driver's license(执照). "

That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

71. The meaning of "panicked"in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.

A. shame B. hate C. anger D. fear

72. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?

A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.

B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.

C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.

D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.

73. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.

B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.

C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.

D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.

74. The driver of the Firebird ______.

A. took a wrong turn on the way

B. had some trouble with his car

C. was stopped by the police officer

D. paid for the expenses of the accident

75. What is probably the best title for the article?

A. Losing His Way? B. Going My Way? C. Fun All the Way? D. Help on the Way?
