¡°It was all his own idea,¡± says Pat, the wife of California high school football coach Bob Peters.  Bob had __1__ made a ¡°motherhood contract (ºÏͬ)¡± ¡ªdeclaring that for 70 days this summer he would __2__ the care of their four children and all the housework. __3__ he didn¡¯t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was very confident.

    After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to __4__. ¡°I was beaten down,¡± admits Bob. ¡°Not only is motherhood a __5__ task, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.¡±

    Bob and Pat were married in 1991.After the marriage, Pat __6__ a secretary to help put him through university. __7__ Bob has been the football coach while Pat raised the kids. __8__ two years ago Pat went back to work. ¡°I had been __9_ children so much,¡± she __10__, ¡°I couldn¡¯t talk to a grown-up.¡± She continued to run the household, __11__¡ªuntil Bob signed the contract.

    Bob tried hard to learn cooking, but the meals he prepared¤ª were __12__. For the last three weeks, the family __13__ a lot¡ªsometimes having MacDonald¡¯s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.

    __14__ housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean __15__ the bed is made. ¡°I found __16__¡ªI shut the doors,¡± he says. Soon the kids were wearing their shirts inside out. ¡°When we went to __17__ Pat at work, I made them wear their shirts __18__ side out so they would look clean. ¡±

    The amount of usable water has always been of great interest in the world. __1__ springs and streams sometimes mean control, particularly in the __2__ areas like the desert. The control is possible even without possession of large areas of __3__ land. In the early days of the American West, gun fights were not __4__ for the water resources(×ÊÔ´), and laws had to be __5__ to protect the water rights of the __6__ and the use of the water resources accordingly.

    The __13__ water supply forecast is based more on the water from the __14__ than from the below.

With special equipment, some scientists are studying the ways in which the mountain snow can be __17__, and with the help of a repeater station, they send the __18__ data (Êý¾Ý) to the base station. The operator at the base station can get the data at any time by __19__ a button. In the near future, the forecast and use of water __20__ probably depend on the advance knowledge of snow on mountains, not of water underground.

    ¡°Maybe I should __7__,¡± I thought as I moved on. __8__, I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran __9__ and decided not to __10__ in track next year. It wouldn¡¯t be worth it, __11__ my foot did heal.

The birthrate in Europe has been on¤ª a steady decrease since the 1960s.  European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century. Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, ___1___ cash encouragement, some women just don't want to be ___2___ holding the baby. ¡°What we know is that it's good for the___3___ if men and women share the burden of having children,¡± says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. ___4___ Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) ___5___ day off work.

Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers ___6___ to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (²ú¼Ù). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months' paid leave, with a warning: use it or ___7___ it.

Kindlund admits that men are under ___8___ to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. ¡°It's not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,¡± he says. ¡°But it's good for the father and for the child if they can ___9___ a relationship.¡±

In Norway, a(n) ___10___ policy has worked wonders.70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___1___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still ___2___ away. A mother who has not ___3___ the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins ¡°Twinkle, twinkle, little star¡± or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

One explanation is the law of over-learning, which can be stated as follows: ___4___ we have learned something, additional learning increases the ___5___ of time we will remember it.

In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and ___6___ ourselves of poems such as ¡°Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but ___7___ The law of over-learning explains why cramming (Í»»÷ ѧϰ) for an examination, ___8___ it may result in a passing grade, is not a ___9___ way to learn a school course.  By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over-learning, ___10___, is usually a good investment toward the future.

Don't Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports

When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach (½ÌÁ·) said that I had lots of potential (DZÁ¦), and I became captain of my ___1___. That was before all the fun was taken out of___2___

At first, everyone on the team got ___3___ playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the ___4___ started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra so their daughters could have ___5___ one-on-one training, got angry when she didn't give them more playing time in our ___6___. The coach was replaced.

The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was ___7___ I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the___8___. Of course, all teams run drills; they are ___9___ But we ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble___10___. Younger people shouldn't be doing exercises ___11___ for 18-year-old. ¤ª

I was very thin ___12___ I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn't eat much, because I was afraid of being too ___13___ to run. I feared making mistakes, and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual___14___

Is all this pressure necessary? I ___15___ up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That's ___16___, because they had so much potential. They were just burned- out with all the pressure they ___17___ from the coach or their parents.

I continued playing football at school and ___18___ my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing ___19___ him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I ___20___ down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it's a lot easier to do it well.

Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. ___1___ I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his ___2___ qualities. First of all, I respected his ___3___ to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and dearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he ___4___ what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an ___5___ way, introducing such aids (¸¨Öú) to___6___ as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he___7___ sang a song in class in order to make a point clear ___8___ , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them ___9___ the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would ___10___ a student to a game of chess(¹ú¼ÊÏóÆå). ___11___ , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of ___12__: agriculture, diving and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for ___13___ on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was ___14___ by his lively sense of humor(ÓÄĬ).
