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 said that I had lots of potential(潜力), and I became captain of my team. That was before all the fun __25__(take) out of playing.
At first, everyone on the team got equal playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the pressure started. Some parents, who __26__(pay) the coach extra __27__return for their daughters? private one-on-one training, got angry when she didn't give them more playing time in our matches. The coach was replaced. The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was run. We ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble __28__(breathe). Younger people shouldn?t be doing exercises __29__(design) for 18-year-olds.
I was very thin before I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn't eat much, because I thought to __30__ that I was afraid of being too full to run. Finally, I ended up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of __31__ stopped playing football completely. That's sad because they had so much potential. They were just burned-out with all the pressure they felt from the coach or their parents.
I continued playing football at school and rediscovered my love for it. I joined a private team and the coach told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I calmed down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it's a lot __32__(easy) to do it well.

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week.

The researcher organized experimental matches which __42__ four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in __43__.
Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the matches. When __44__ into a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a(n) __45__ high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to have a detailed analysis of the matches, and __46__ are that the errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident.

III. Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and
D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing is beyond the joy of discovering for yourself something that is a big __51__ to you. It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally -- or a sudden insight, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal __52__ are the \-- but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That is __54__ you.
A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at __55__ stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a(n) __56__ where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and __57__ learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to __58__ a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is __59__ just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out,
understanding and synthesizing(综合), which forms the __60__ of many skills applicable to both academic and non-academic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a __61__ satisfying experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an __62__ number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disturbing. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is __63__. But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with __64__, and nobody is supposed to view the research paper as an obstacle that is impossible to overcome. __65__, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach and you will find great pleasure in it.

PEOPLE NOBLE SMUGGLER This Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler（偷运者）. During World WarⅡ, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto（聚居区）. She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children?s real names buried in jars in her neighbours? gardens.（The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.）At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valorand Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her. You risked your life to save the children.
I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don?t ask if they can swim，you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children. How did you persuade parents to give up their children？
I had to answer honestly that I didn?t even know if we would get past the guards. What was the most frightening moment？
When I saw a priest（牧师）in charge of an orphan age for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them
out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them. How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out？
I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside. Did you tell your own two children what you did？
I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn?t do more.
——Samantha Levine
