My basketball coach at Princeton used to say, "On the court, you can tell who is selfish(自私的)."

   When my sister Michelle brought Barack Obama home to meet the family, she said to me, "I want you to take him out to play, to see what type of man he is when he’s not around me." So I invited Barack to play basketball with a few friends of mine.

    I was very nervous although I had already met Barack a few times. I was thinking this guy seemed like a good guy. We played a hard five-on-five. He was thin but not weak. He played extremely left-handed. He dealt with everything perfectly. He wasn’t the best guy out there or the worst guy. I liked the fact that he was confident but wasn’t proud. Barack was very team-oriented (有团队精神的), very unselfish. He played as if he was one of us —he wasn’t trying to be president of Harvard Law Review. But the best part about it was that when we were on the same team, he did not pass me the ball each time. He wasn’t trying to suck up to my sister through me. I was glad to give my sister the good news, "Your boy is straight."

    He isn’t selfish, which is the greatest praise you can give both a player and a leader. America has got a guy who is running a government in an efficient (有效率的) manner. That’s the same guy I got to know playing basketball when he was visiting my family.

1. Why does the author begin the passage with his coach’s words?

 A. He wants to remember and thank his coach.

 B. He wants to show that he is a basketball player.

 C. He wants to tell his sister about the words.

 D. He wants to use the words to test a person.

2.Why did Michelle ask the author to take Barack to play basketball?

 A. To see whether he was confident.

 B. To see whether he was good at sports.

 C. To see whether he was selfish or not.

 D. To see whether he could get along with others.

3.During the basketball game, Barack ______.

 A. played best all the time        B. was strong enough to play

 C. was not confident             D. wanted to be the team leader

4. The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be replaced by "______".

 A. please (使满意)   B. know about       C. help       D. look for

  Of course,what is an ideal(理想)holiday for one person may be a very unpleasant one for another.The sportsman likes a kind of holiday which his lazy friend would find worse than his daily work;while the lazy man’s ideal holiday would leave the sportsman quite unsatisfied.

  If I were allowed to choose my own holiday,I would have no doubts;I would go on a voyage(远航)in a modern passenger ship with a swimming bath.Even if my sportsman friend and my lazy friend came with me,they would both be happy;one would have plenty of games,swimming and dancing;the other could sit in a comfortable chair all day,looking at the sea and drinking lemonade(柠檬水)or beer.In a ship,one can do as one likes.If one day I find an interesting book in the ship’s library,I can spend the whole day reading it,and nobody will stop me.Perhaps the next day I shall want some exercise.Well,then I can play games with other passengers until I am hot and sweating and ready for a bath.I can go and sleep in my cabin at any time of the day or night,I can get cheap drinks during most of the day,and I can eat as I like,choosing among a variety of foods.

  But what I like even more about a sea voyage is the chance to meet new and interesting people from many countries.What other kind of holiday gives us such a chance?Freed from(从……解脱)all the duties of life at home,we can talk,play games,swim,drink,sing and dance with our new friends.They can tell us about their own countries,their daily lives and amusements,their hopes and their fears.And in return we can tell them all about ourselves.

  But perhaps the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new ports in strange lands,and going ashore for a few hours to see strange places,eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us.Whenever I think of my ideal holiday,it is the picture of a mysterious foreign city that comes to my mind.

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

  The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.

  Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

1.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ______

A.to reduce their mental stress

B.to increase their sense of success

C.to make sports less competitive

D.to make sports more challenging

2.According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that ____ .

A.it can help them learn more about society

B.it enables them to find flaws in themselves

C.it can provide them with valuable experiences

D.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

3.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ______ .

A.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

B.without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence

C.in order to make them remember life's lessons

D.so as to put more pressure on them

4.According to the passage parents and coaches should _____________ .

A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

B.help children to win every game

C.train children to cope with stress

D.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

5.The author's purpose in writing the passage is ____________ .

A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

B.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism

C.to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children

D.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement
