C

Sport not only is physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism (批評) from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive (過度的）amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

　　The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to work together with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parent's and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷）in themselves.

　　Coaches and parents, should also be careful that youth sport participation doesn't become the work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting(環(huán)境), young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches direct their attention on the outcome（=result）and find fault with young people’s performances. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates (積極強(qiáng)化激勵(lì)) and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

74. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is________.

　　A. to reduce their mental stress　                 B. to increase their sense of stress

　　C. to make sports less competitive    　           D. to make sports more challenging

75. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that________.

　　A. it can create high levels of stress

　　B. it enables them to find flaws in themselves

　　C. it can provide them with valuable experiences

　　D. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

76. According to the passage parents and coaches should________.

　　A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

　　B. help children to win every game

　　C. train children to deaf with stress

　　D. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

77.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to________.

　　A. teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

　　B. persuade young children not to worry about criticism

　　C. stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children

　　D. discuss the skill of mixing criticism with encouragement

Governments and health officials around the world continued to take steps Tuesday against the outbreak of swine flu that has killed scores of people in Mexico and spread to the U.S., Europe and possibly Asia.

By early Tuesday, the swine flu outbreak in Mexico had caused in 152 deaths and more than 1,600 illnesses. So far, at least 113 cases have been proved worldwide, including 64 in the United States; six in Canada; 11 in New Zealand and two each in Spain the United Kingdom and Israel. None has yet resulted in death.

The World Health Organization on Monday raised its alert level from three to four on its six-level scale. The move means the U.N. agency has determined that the virus can transmit from human to human.

"In this age of global travel, where people move around in airplanes so quickly, there is no region to which this virus could not spread," said Fukuda, assistant director-general of the WHO.

Governments around the world struggled to prevent further outbreak. Some, like China and Russia, banned pork imports from the United States and Mexico. U.S. President Barack Obama said the outbreak was a cause for concern, not for alarm. The government urged travelers to avoid non-essential travel to Mexico.

The latest WHO report listed only seven proved swine flu deaths in Mexico but it was not clear why there was the discrepency.

Mexico City has closed all schools until at least May 6 to help curb(control) the spread of swine flu and ordered 35,00 public venues to close or serve only takeaway meals. In addition, bars, clubs, movie theaters, pool halls, gyms, sport centers and convention halls have been told to close until May 5. Armed police officers are also guarding hospitals in Mexico City while roads and schools in the city of 20 million people are deserted. Officials also have talked about shutting down the bus and subway systems.

57.How many people were found catching swine flu in Spain?

A. 2.                   B. 11.                 C. 6.                   D. 64.

58.When learning the outbreak of swine flu, the WHO was ____.

A. calm              B. nervous        C. shocked        D. careful

59. Fukuda’s words suggest that _____.

A. he likes travel by air

B. global travel hasn’t been affected

C.this virus can spread quickly because of global travel

D. planes must be forbidden to take to prevent swine flu

60.The last paragraph mainly tells us _____.

A. Mexico has taken measures to control swine flu

B. Mexico City is too dangerous to live in

C. the normal life in Mexico has been changed

D. people in Mexico are badly in need of help

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks star; but I, watching him, saw someone else. That was my elder brother, Bob, who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade; he had to get up every now and then and run around the room. And sure enough, he grew up to be a starting player for an N.C.A.A. championship lacrosse（長曲棍球）team. He was a Nike-endorsed marathoner, too, and reached the top of Mt. Everest, unguided, in his 50s.
And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games. We did watch some of his marathons, but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s. When Bob was in his glory days, our Shanghainese-born parents were bent on getting him into medical school. There was a loving aspect to it: I can remember my father working through math books with him, lesson by lesson, at the big blackboard in the attic. Bob never did become a doctor, though; and neither did I. It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today could be the fittest 58-year-old on the planet. His doctor estimates his biological age at 35; he’s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas. And, like Jeremy Lin, he’s charming. No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh. He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building, and it’s true. To know him is to cheer for him.
And yet my parents did not cheer for him. What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics, like Jeremy Lin’s mother? What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate? It’s hard not to wonder.
And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things? Amy Chua, the tiger mother, recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word. How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular, Gie-Ming Lin, encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?
【小題1】Bob’s glory days were those ________.

A．when he was doing well in math
B．when he was in second grade
C．when he was made mayor of his building
D．when he showed his talents in sports
【小題2】From the passage we can tell that Bob is ____________.
A．a(chǎn)ctive and optimistic
B．clever and determined
C．brave and helpful
D．considerate and independent
【小題3】Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?
A．Bob was always ignored by his parents
B．Bob could also have been a sport star.
C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.
D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.
【小題4】From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ___________.
A．parents should always study together with their children
B．parents should know how to educate their children properly
C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong
D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents
