WarnB. adviseC. describeD. advertiseBSport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism(批评) from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive(过多的) amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has suggested 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(关键的) years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate 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(反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw (mistake) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be careful that youth sport participation does not bee work for children. The oute of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the oute and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.60. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Mental stress should be reduced.B. Sports should be made less petitive.C. Stress should be made less.D. Sport can be mentally challenging.61. According to the passage, young people like sport because _.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it enables them to criticize themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves62. According to the passage, parents and coaches should _.A. enable children to enjoy sportB. help children to win every gameC. train children to deal with stressD. understand the meaning of sport63. The authors purpose in writing the passage is _.A. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutB. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismC. to stress the importance of encouraging childrenD. to discuss the skill of bining criticism with encouragementCCaloundra, a city in Queensland, Australia gives away, on average, 7,000 trees per year to its residents(居民). The local councils Free Tree Program, which has been running for the past 16 years, allows residents to have two free native trees. Nursery Manager Phil Rolton, who has worked at the councils nursery for the past 23 years, has given away thousands of those trees. “ We give most of the trees away at the free tree days organized throughout the city. However, residents can also e into the nursery at certain times to collect their trees” Phil said. “All the trees, we give away are natives. I speak with people about how they live before I give them the plants to make sure what they are getting suitable. I try to make sure they always get plants that are native to their area. When residents receive their trees, we give them a native plant book which covers information on how to care for the plants.”As well as supplying plants for the free tree days, the nursery also grows trees to be used for beach protection, environmental projects and for parks and gardens. “Trees that are hard for us to find or expensive to grow we grow here at the nursery. We also grow a lot of endangered species to improve our environment,” Phil said.64. Why do you think the city gives away trees for free?A. Because there are more than enough trees in the city.B.

What can we infer from the passage?A. The nursery receives money from the government.B. The nursery makes a lot of money every year.C. The Free Tree Program wont last long.D. Very few residents get free trees from the nursery. DLong ago there was a giant (巨人) who loved to kill humans, eat their flesh, and drink their blood. He was especially fond of human hearts. “Unless we can get rid of this giant,” people said, “none of us will be left,” and they held a meeting to discuss ways and means.One man said, “I think I know how to kill the giant.”, and he went to the place where the giant had last been seen. There he lay down and pretended to be dead.Soon the giant came along. Seeing the man lying there, he said, “These humans are making it easy for me. Now I dont even have to catch and kill them. They die right on my path, probably from fear of me!”The giant touched the body. “Ah, good,” he said, “This one is still warm and fresh. What a tasty meal hell make! I cant wait to roast (烤) his heart.”Carrying the man home, the giant dropped him in the middle of the floor right near the fireplace. Then he went to get some firewood.As soon as the giant had left, the man got up and seized the giants skinning (剥皮) knife. When the giant appeared in the entrance, the man swiftly plunged (使插入) the knife into his heart. The giant screamed and fell down dead.Yet the giant still spoke, “Though Im dead, though you killed me, Im going to keep on eating you and all the other humans in the world forever!”“Thats what you think!” said the man, “Im about to make sure that you never eat anyone again.” He cut the giants body into pieces and burned each one in the fire. Then he took the ashes and threw them into the air for the winds to scatter (分散). The cloud of ashes turned into countless mosquitoes, and from their midst (中间) the man heard the giants voice laughing and saying, “Yes, Ill eat your people until the end of time.”68. What do you suppose the giant loved to eat most?A. A human body. B. Human blood. C. A roast human heart. D. Human flesh.69.

Here “the end of time” probably means _.A. until nightfall B. until daybreak C. forever D. until some dayEWhat should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They cant make their own choices.Kids in America would be very surprise to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults. When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy. By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school. Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”. Now the child makes almost all his/her decisionswhat to do after school; who are his/her friends; sometimes even when to e home at night. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his/her parents. Now he or she can e and go where he/she likes. The only rule is when they e home at night.Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work?Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices, and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. Before we know it we will bee independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun!72. The first paragraph tried to tell the readers _. A. Chinese kids dont know what to do B. Chinese kids always have many questions C.
