  College sports, especially football and basketball, are a big industry.Nationally rated teams and television broadcast rights can be worth millions of dollars.

  This could be seen as a good deal all around.Colleges invest their players and, in return, the schools earn money and attention.The athletes often get free education, and they gain experience that might lead to a chance to play professionally.

  But critics question the morality(道德)of a situation where college athletes may seem valued more as athletes than as college students.They say that some players who finish college never really learn anything except their sport.

  The National Collegiate Athletic Association governs college sports in the United Strates.For the past few years, this organization has been increasing requirements for student athletes.That includes high school students who want to compete on division one teams-the top division college sports.

  College athletes are required to make continual progress toward earning their degree.New reforms aim to punish division one schools that do not graduate enough of their athletes.

  Yet finishing college is not always a goal for students who are good enough to play professionally.Is this short-team thinking? A sports career may not last very long, or lead to the wealth and fame that young players may dream of.

  Funs of American football may remember the retired New York Jets player Joe Namath.Last weekend, he graduated from the University of Alabama.He left that school forty-two years ago to play for the Jets.Now he is sixty-four.But he went back--in part, he says, because he had promised his mother to finish his education.

Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.

A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.

However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.

Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances(经济)prevent you from fulfilling(实现) your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.

It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.

Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”

When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.

60. What does the underlined words “all odds are against you” in Paragraph 2 mean?

  A. You are in hopeless situation.

B. You find everything seems strange.

  C. You are not feeling quite well.

D. You have all your friends against you.
