阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　It is not unusual for us to gather with our nearest and dearest at weekends．But do you know that holidays, much like relationships, can be "made, maintained and broken" through conversations? Deborah Tannen, a Georgetown University professor, believes so．She offers suggestions to improve communication at the holiday table and beyond．Let's take a look．

　　A round dining table is best for promoting(促成)a lively conversation because everyone faces one another．

　　Don't seat grandparents at the ends of a rectangular(长方形的)table, even though it is the traditional place of honor．Elderly people may feel lonely there because they will be unable to hear or keep up with a conversation．

　　Women prefer to face each other and make eye contact when they talk．Men might look around at other things．"Guys may be more relaxed keeping their eyes on the TV," says Tannen．"They'll still be listening, though．"

　　Be aware that people have different ways of talking．Be aware of people who seem left out．If you feel you are doing ail the talking, hold back to give others a chance to join in．If you feel you aren't getting a chance to speak, try pushing yourself to start talking before it seems natural or polite．

　　Some families find that gatherings go more smoothly(顺利地)if they take part in an outdoor activity．Going to a park for a walk may be more enjoyable than sitting around chatting．

     In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (竞争性的)
sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
     Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the
end of the school year. They are also called field days.
     Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race
and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race (跳绳) and the three-legged race. In middle
and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田径项目).  They
are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.
     Students' parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days. They watch children
play. Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!
     Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the
USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much
pressure(压力) on the children. Some schools don't have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there
is much fighting and cheating.
