If you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match; football players exchange jerseys(运动衣)after ninety minutes of knocking each other around; even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event, from spelling bees to golf(高尔夫球),act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship(体育精神),a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match.
Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years, you might see some players celebrate a goal(进球)with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It’s the golden rule of sports.
Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting, for example, it’s more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition—as in life—you may not always win, but believe me, sportsmanship will help you get through, and there is always the next match.
1.What match do you know will last ninety minutes?
A. Tennis. b. Football.
C. Golf. D. Spelling.
2.The underlined word “bees” in the passage means .
A. fly. b. competition.
C. guess. D. research.
3. Why do you think good sportsmanship is really important?
A. It’s all part of sports.
b. It’s all part of celebration.
C. It’s the golden rule of sports.
D. It’s how to stay cool.
4.Winning the game will make it possible for players to .
A. celebrate a goal. b. exchange jerseys.
C. shake hands. D. feel great .
5.The passage mainly tells us that sportsmanship gets you through no matter whether .
A. you win or lose. b. you play or learn.
C. you are happy or not. D. you feel hard or not.
