Don’t complain in the NBA

The NBA has a new rule(规则) this season. It’s called “zero tolerance（容忍）”. NBA referees(裁判) are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call(裁决). A player who does can be given a foul (犯规). Two fouls, and the player is out of the game.

The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it. During an exciting, close game, each side may win. They think it’s only natural to get angry if a call goes against you.

But I like the “zero tolerance” rule and wish other sports would follow the NBA’s example. Won’t it be more enjoyable if football, soccer and tennis players stop arguing the calls and just played the game?

Why do I like the new rule? The biggest reason is that it sets a good example to younger players. When kids see stars shouting at the referees and arguing every call, they think it’s part of the game. But shouting at referees and arguing calls should never be part of any kid’s games. Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and try to improve their skills and play their best.

All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance. You can’t control what the other players or trainers(教练员) do. And you certainly can’t control the calls the referees make.

Finally, no one from NBA to 8-year-old children should forget that being a basketball referee is a hard job. The referee has to make lots of sudden calls. They cannot be slow or wait. Chances will never come back. Not even the best referee gets every call right.

Maybe if the players, trainers and fans who shout at the referees have to wear a whistle(哨子) and call a few games, they won’t complain loudly about the “zero tolerance” rule.

【解析】

试题分析：文章围绕这NBA新规来展开话题，球员们不赞成，但是作者却赞成，并列举了原因，

1.allowed根据新规则NBA referees(裁判) are not letting players complain too long or too loudly about a referee’s call(裁决)，可知不允许球员长时间或者大声抱怨裁判的裁决。Be allowed to do...被允许做某事

2.2】or or 否则，新规定中球员不能抱怨裁判的裁决两次，否则就认为是犯规，将会被罚出球场。

3.3】out根据A player who does can be given a foul (犯规). Two fouls, and the player is out of the game.可知球员抱怨裁判的行为认为是犯规，如果有两次犯规就会被罚出球场。

4.4】dislike有此The players don’t like the new rule and want the NBA to change it.得出，not like=dislike（不喜欢）

5.5】against第二段中During an exciting, close game, each side may win. They think it’s only natural to get angry if a call goes against you.提到在分数不相上下的时候，双方都有可能赢球，但是如果裁判的裁决对他们不利的话，他们很自然的就会生气。against对...不利

6.6】stop根据第三段可知作者赞成新规则，他认为如果球员们停止对判决的讨论，单纯的去打球，那么将会好得多。Stop doing停止做某事

7.7】sets根据it sets a good example to younger players. 可知作者认为新规定给年轻的球员树立了一个好榜样。set an example to...给...树立一个榜样

8.8】improving第四段最后一句Kids should be taught to forget about the referees’ calls and try to improve their skills and play their best.可知作者认为孩子们在比赛过程中，重点不在于讨论裁判的判决，而是应该提高自己的技能，赛出自己的最好水平。pay attention to 重视，to为介词，所以improve要用动名词形式，去e加ing，improving。

9.9】else第五段第一句All players need to learn that you control only one thing in a game, and that’s your own performance.可知在球场上运动员们唯一可以控制的就是自己的表现。nothing else没有别的东西，此题可翻译为所有的运动员除了自己的表现，别的什么都控制不了。

10.0】remember最后两段说了当裁判的不易，所以作者希望大家记住做一个篮球裁判是很不容易的。
