19．Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together．Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred．There is probably some truth in both opinions，but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood．Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes，but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests．
One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final．There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refuse the final decisions．They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'victory was unfair．Their manager was in a rage when he said："This wasn't hockey．Hockey and the international Hockey Federation are finished．"The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years．
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia，after a doubtful end to their contest．The game had ended in disturbance．It was thought at first that the United States had won，by a single point，but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play．A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other，and another player popped it into the basket．It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match．An appeal jury（申诉仲裁） debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand．The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals．
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game．The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals，or in non-national terms，might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（爱国）．

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active．Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task．Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone．（37）GSome people fight laziness by removing the temptations （诱惑） that surround them．A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness．（38）FComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy，such as a good dinner or a film．
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home．Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately．（39）DBe the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal．Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task．It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people．

Make the right changes．When reducing unhealthy foods in your diet，it's important to use healthy foods．Using healthy fats instead of dangerous trans fats（反式脂肪酸）will make a positive difference to your health．（17）GFor example，it's not wise to use fried food instead of bread．

（18）AKids love to chase one another through the water and to splash and jump around．But it is important to teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings in the water，so that they do not accidentally knock into others，injuring them．Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous．

11．It was an extremely hot day．My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr．Blickez's farm and through some woods，because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down．
The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean （凶暴的） Hereford bull （公牛）．Mr．Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town，maybe even in the county and we believed in him．But the hotter it got，the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said．For one thing，we remembered Mr．Blickez liked telling tall tales； for another，Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull．Finally，I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm，and Mr．Blickez agreed．
On our way across the farm，we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole．The sun shone brightly across the cool waters．We couldn't wait to get there．Suddenly，Walt shouted loudly．Elsie had run to him and was licking （舔） his back．I immediately hid under the fence．However，when I looked up，I saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull at all．She was just a friendly young cow，and she was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still．
When we discovered the truth，we were so happy．We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in．The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed．After that day，we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called"big mean bull"．

10．Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States．Lately，however，people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country!Usually considered shy and seldom seen，these lions are becoming more noticeable．In addition，the lions appear to be moving east．They were even reported in the suburbs of Boston，Philadelphia，and Chicago．
It seems certain that these"kings of the mountains"are moving．Why？Scientists are not sure．Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west，younger wild cats are leaving the area．These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food．
"The young males are looking for new homes，"says Lynn Sadler，who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento，Calif．"People tend to create too many barriers，such as buildings，fences，roads，and noise．As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources，these barriers get in their way．"
The sightings have made people increasingly watchful．Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats．But at least a few of the meetings have been real．The building of new roads，t he growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoo r activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion．
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion，an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats：Never leave pets or pet food outside； properly care for farm animals； and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another．
"To be fair，"says the expert，"mountain lions are trying to regain their homes．They were here first．Now we need to find ways we can live together．"
28．Mountain lions are moving probably becauseC．
A．the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet
