it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament (锦标赛) last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way
to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something
wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.
Fifteen-one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation
after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw
fouls (假摔以使对方犯规).
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn't a game
where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so
officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties (处罚) on themselves.
"It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right
thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for
calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied:"You might as well praise a man for not robbing
a bank."
So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score-he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed
up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he
said.
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off (开球), Zach counted his clubs-four times.
B. Zach returned the medal that he had won.
C. Zach's grandparents encouraged him to play fair.
D. Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.
B. players are superior to coaches
C. referees have to watch each shot
D. players needn't care about medals
B. Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.
C. Little did Bobby care about the penalty.
D. Observing rules demands no praise.
B. He lacked self-confidence.
C. He felt a little too nervous.
D. He was no good with numbers.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. With an obese (very fat) or overweight population of 66% percent of adults, teaching your kids healthy eating habits is one of the most important things you can do for them as a parent. Most parents and children claim that breakfast is part of their everyday routines. But for many more than you might think, it's not. Children who eat breakfast have higher math grades, have improved reading scores and basically perform better in school. They also tend to have healthier bodies in general, with better-controlled weight levels. When you take them to the grocery store with you, it's doubtless that your children will request the most sugar-filled, fat-injected products on the shelf. But these are not the ones to have in your home-you should avoid buying them at all. Be sure your kids have healthy snacks. Yes, kids like white bread. But any kid can get used to the taste of whole grains. It just takes a little practice. Look for white bread, and add other whole grains into their diet. Start toasting their sandwiches. When it's toasted, it'll be that much harder for them to tell the difference in taste. It's simple, it's true, and it's something you already know: kids who get plenty of exercise are healthier kids. Set limits on the amount of time your child may spend in front of the television or computer screen. Sign them up for plenty of sports and outdoor activities. And best of all, get involved in sports and exercise with them. One of the best things you can do to establish healthy eating habits in your kids is to have them yourself. You can tell your kids every day to eat healthy foods, but if you don't do the same thing yourself, the lesson will never stick.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Tomatoes are the world's most popular fruit rich in nutrition like Vitamin A, C, fibre and lycopene (番茄红素). Researchers have found that consuming lycopene helps in preventing cancer. Tomato also helps in keeping the skin healthy and young by protecting from harmful rays. Since lycopene is present in the cellular wall of tomato, it is better to consume cooked tomato to have higher concentration of lycopene. So tomatoes are a wonderful fruit. Then how to grow tomatoes? First, there should be regular and even watering in the fields where tomatoes grow. You can also add fertilizer to have better results. Plant the tomato plants with enough space(for example 2 to 3 inch space)between each other to lessen spreading of disease and pests and help the fruits get enough sunlight. Provide support like pole when the plants grow up to prevent from disease and to increase the crop product. In order to make your tomatoes grow well, you should take some useful tips. For example, choose variety based on the season and soil type that you are growing. Planting site should have enough sunlight to have more fruits. Prune(修剪)the tomato plants if necessary to maintain a manageable size. Check tomato plants regularly for any kind of pests and diseases. To people's regret, tomatoes possibly suffer from some diseases during their growth. So you must try your best to prevent them. Soil should be free from debris(残骸)of earlier plant remains and should be treated first before tomato plantation like solarizing(晒) to prevent from pests. It is always better to choose resistant plant varieties and follow crop rotation(轮作)as far as possible.
