Criticism from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create

10、too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed 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

11、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,

12、 that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome

13、of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worried more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome a

14、nd find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows 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.5Accor

In the childrens opinion, they had something that they couldnt

19、explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred(激起) Maggies anger, however, so that she often said to her husband. “Its mercy that brother of yours doesnt come oftener.”In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight oclock in the evening, and he stayed for

20、six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed, after

21、his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “Youll be getting on with the supper, Maggie”. Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they

22、sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though

23、rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train, just after two oclock.Maggies children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had in their mothers words, “lost two wives and taken a third”. They wondered about those two unfortunate, los

24、t ladies. They asked each other what their fate(命运) had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.9. Maggie never prep

25、ared anything special for James because _.A. he was a man difficult to pleaseB. she never knew when he was comingC. she was too busy looking after her childrenD. he never stayed long enough for a meal10. What do we know about James behavior?A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.B. He was un

26、selfish, especially towards his brother.C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the children.D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.11.

27、inD. James thanked her for the nice supper12. The children did not realize that two of James wives _.A. were dead B. suffered from loss of memoryC. had run away from him D. might reappear one dayD No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain: you are familiar to the mosquito, a

28、lthough you probably wish you werent. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种). Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one. No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves. She? Yes

29、, she. Do you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, its true. And its not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce. Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite? She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物) carefully. First, she uses sensors to find he

30、r victim. These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角)and her three pairs of legs. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you are not attractive, shell reject you for another one. The n

31、ext time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen. You are special. If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip. Long nose tip? Whats that? Its a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquitos eyes. It c

32、ontains six sharp instruments called styles. She thrusts all six styles into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, shell get a full dinner in about a minute. All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening. Why does a mosquito bite itch（痒)? The itch is not really from the bite. lts from the saliva(口水) the mosq
