The NBA has a new rule this season .It’s called “zero tolerance.”  NBA referees(裁判)are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a ref’s call. A player who does can be given a technical foul(犯规. Two technical fouls and the player is out of the game.

       The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. They think it’s only natural to get upset during a close, hard-fought game if a call goes against you.

       But I like the “zero-tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s example. Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable if players stopped arguing the calls and just played the game?

       The biggest reason I like the new rule is that it sets a good example for younger athletes. When kids(and coaches and parents)see professionals such as Rasheed Wallace of the Detroit Pistons yelling at the refs and arguing every call ,they think it’s okay to do the same. They think it’s part of the game.

       But yelling at refs and arguing calls should never be part of any kids’ games. Kids should be taught to forget about the ref’s calls and concentrate on improving their skills and playing their best.

       Secondly, all athletes need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance .You can’t control what the other players or coaches do . And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make.

       Finally, everyone, from NBA all-stars to 8-year-olds, should remember that being a basketball referee is a tough job. The ref has to make dozens of split-second(即时的)calls. No hesitation. No second chances. Not even the best referee gets every call right.

       Maybe if the players, coaches and fans who scream at the referees had to wear a whistle and call a few games,          .

     One day, when we had been riding in the burning sun for five hours, we came to a narrow, shaky bridge
where a railway crossed a stagnant (发臭的) pond. For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced
wooden sleepers under our wheels, and nothing to stop us from falling into the steaming bot below if we
overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as hc approached the bridge
and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.
     "What's up?" he shouted, from the other side.
     "I'm not riding over that thing. If I fail, I'll be there with that cow!"
     "There's nothing to it. I just did it, didn't I?"
     "You're stronger and taller. My feet can't touch the ground. You do it for me!"
     Mat said strength didn't come into it and rode off,leaving me staring down into the sickly brown soup. He
would be waiting for me around the next corner, but I knew he would oive me at least ar hour before coming
to help. The sun burned my face; sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body;
mosquitoes flew into my mouth when I breathed. To stand still in this place was to kill myself; anyway, to sit
around waiting for Mat to help was more than my feminist pride could take. I rode back along the track a f'ew
hundred yards to get a good run-up (助跑) and over I went. Mat was right: all the obstacles were in my mind.
