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

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 |
