“Tear am apart!”“Kill the fool!”“ Murder the referee（裁判）！”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are made，they may seem innocent enough．But let’s not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed．Volumes have been written about the way words affect us .It has been shown that words having certain connotations （含义） may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent”as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.

The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary”: “enemy”; “one who opposes your interests”．Thus，when a player meets an opponent， he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times， winning may dominate one’s intellect， and every action， no matter how gross， may be considered justifiable．I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered them wet enough．The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, “Are they wet enough now?”

In the heat of battle， players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play．Off the court， they are good friends．Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.

Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated（提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate”could be an ideal way to start．The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion”．Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.

My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would 36 it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able

to 37 .

When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38 once too and that he would hate to 39 things that could be very 40 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he 41 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.

When he was 42 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was 43 him by getting rid of them.

As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to 44 him for giving my daughter all these 45 things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.

So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side –effect.

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.

Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.

Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.

71．What ate the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

A．A lot of care and the right soil. B．Frequent pruning and fertilizing.

C．Tomato plants grown alongside. D．Cages placed around the roots.

72．The writer planted the tomato because _________.

A．it cost only $1.25 B．the soil was just right for it

C．there was room for it in the garden D．the roses’ branches needed to be covered

73．This year the writer’s roses were __________.

A．removed from the rose bed B．picked along with the tomatoes

C．mostly damaged by too much sunlight D．largely hidden under the tomato plant

74．By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.

A．show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

B．show the hardship of growing the roses

C．express her liking for the roses D．express her care for the tomatoes

75．In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.

A．the roses cost the writer little money

B．the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoes

C．someone will help the writer make the decision

D．the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes
