But recently, the over-competitive nature youth sports seem to have taken on has led to cause for _1_. Those who

2、 are strongly against competition point out that in a competition, only one wins while the rest _2_. They argue that competition leads children to define themselves by the outcome, tying their self-esteem(自尊心) up with their ability to _3_ others. They further argue that competition causes anxiety, a

3、ffects learning and causes children to view others as_4_ to their success. Competition restricts participation and _5_ success. A “win-at-all-costs” mentality can cause children to pay little attention to honesty and fair play. On the opposite side of the debate are those who view competition as a _

4、6_ part of American society. They argue that placing kids in a competitive situation such as sports helps prepare them for a(n) _7_ life in our society that is full of competition. _8_ is a normal part of human nature and part of everyday life. Other arguments _9_ competitive sports are that they pr

5、ovide challenges, help kids develop skills, and teach them how to get along with others. The third side of this debate says that a little competition cant be that _10_, as long as competition does not get out of hand and take on a “win-at-all-costs” mentality. They claim that competition in itself i

6、s not bad and it can serve as a _11_ of social comparison, necessary for adolescents to see how _12_ they are. Their advice is to introduce competition _13_ while focusing more on mastery and cooperation during childhood. The gradual shift toward competition will allow children to build skills, part

7、icipate fully, and focus on _14_ rather than winning. It is important that you consider all of the possible _15_ of competition before you put your child in a competitive situation. 1.

15、al issue. I was eager to start, but something made me stop. “What is an environmental issue?” one kid asked. “What if we dont care about the environment?” another complained. “Its not like it affects me.” These comments astounded me. I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others

16、did too. From the surprised look on my teachers face, I could tell she felt the same way. In no time, I finished my essay. In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing, it will damage the environment. There are so many

17、things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby (I dont). There are other ways to help the environment. Plant a tree. Dont waste water. I cant stand it when a persons excuse for not caring is “Nothing is going to ha

18、ppen in my lifetime, so why should I care?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we dont deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children? Or your childrens children? When my teacher told me to read my ess

19、ay to my class, I was a little embarrassed because I didnt want everyone to call me “tree-hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you care about the environment, Im a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were. 26. Why do the students call their teacher “tree-hugger”? A.

20、She likes hugging trees. B. She knows a lot about trees. C. She grew up in the countryside. D. She cares a lot about the environment. 27. At the beginning, the author stopped writing _ .

23、 get a job. One in every three Italians say they are willing to go abroad, sometimes even to other continents to get work. Currently, about 300,000 young Italians may be living abroad. Although emigration has always been a choice for Italians, especially for those who left the country at the beginni

24、ng of the twentieth century, more young Italians think leaving their home country is the only way to escape economic difficulty. These young Italians, however, are not poor farmers or laborers but bright university graduates and other talented young people. Many of them want to go to richer places,

25、like northern Europe, but they are also prepared to go elsewhere. Most of them describe a feeling of unhappiness and frustration. They are not sure which direction their country is heading and feel no longer proud of being Italians. Many leave because they think that getting a good job is possible i

26、n other countries where all doors are open to you if you are young and dynamic. However, in Italy everything is boring and old-fashioned. Italys economic system is largely based on family structures and the elderly who dont want to give up power. Corruption(腐败) is also a big problem that simply wont

27、 go away. The Italian government is aware of the problem and says it must create new opportunities for its younger generation. But even if it starts working on a new style economy right away it may take years before things in Italy really change. The government has already passed laws which will mak

28、e it easier for doctors, lawyers and other academics to start a career in Italy. Many economic experts claim that Italy is doing a lot for its older generation but very little for its youth.

33、ising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under fin

34、ancially,” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than 100,000.It su

35、rprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than 3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They liked comparison shopping and would ro

36、utinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldnt afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see th

37、ings they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches wish that their legacy, a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents, should enrich the whole community and last for generations

41、ractive to the parents.C. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the HatchesD.

42、d revenue to “three different orders of people: those who live by rent, those who live by wages, and those who live by profit”. Each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the social structure more complicated.Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century betwe

43、en the upper middle class and the working class. There were small-scale industrialists as well as large ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees, skilled and unskilled workers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. Farmers and peasants continued in all cou

44、ntries as independent groups.During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a persons social position. Intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their worki

45、ng-class parents. But they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the “new rich.”They often sent their sons and daughters to special schools to acquire social training. Here their children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often f

46、ound marriage partners from among them. In the same way, a thrifty, hardworking labourer, though not clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in the hope that he would move in a “white-collar” occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a m

47、ove up in the social scale.In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the growth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook.

The opinions are obviously different. ks5u Genera
