At the U.S. Open championships in Flushing Meadows, New York last week, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) held an unusual youth press conference (新闻发布会). I say "unusual" because the main idea wasn't to promote the sport for young children. Yes, there was a youth tennis exhibition in which a group of fresh-faced kids from the area showed off their well developed skills. They used junior racquets and larger, low-pressure balls on a half-size tennis court-a way the organization supports as a means to help children have early success and stick with the game.
But the event's real purpose was to help parents realize the importance of introducing kids to all kinds of athletic programs rather than focusing specially on one. This may sound like something easy to do, but it's not. In today's achievement-oriented (成功向导 ) environment, children are being pushed to specialize in a single sport-whether it's tennis, hockey, soccer, or gymnastics - at ever-younger ages. Tom Farrey, executive director of the nonprofit Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program, says year-round sports programs are now offered down to age 5, too early an age for a child to limit himself or herself to a single activity. While parents naturally want the best for their child, they are being pressured by coaches to let him or her stick with one thing.
The result: More kids under age 12 are suffering injuries or, worse, burnout. According to the Aspen Institute's report, Project Play, fewer kids today are staying involved with sports than five years ago, partly because of forced specialization. Today's children are already on track to live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents because of obesity and related diseases, and this trend is only worsening matters.
Multi-sport participation, however, leads to better performance (because kids get a chance to develop different sets of skills ) and greater enjoyment of the game, says Farrey. The headlining athletes at the event repeated the idea that having kids do more than one sport is a plus (good for them).
1.According to Tom Farrey, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Having kids do more than one sport is an advantage to their future career.
B. A child should limit himself to a single activity under the age of 5.
C. Parents are being pressured to let their kids stick with one sport.
D. Multi-sport participation leads to most kids' worse performance.
2.The underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. introducing kids to many different sports instead of only one
B. inviting kids to only one sport instead of trying different ones
C. taking kids to only several different sports instead of too many
D. leading kids to any sport they like instead of trying many kinds
3. Fewer kids are staying involved with sports now than five years ago partly because they _______.
A. become too fat to take part in sports
B. have too much school work to complete
C. get too many injuries when they do sports
D. are pushed into specialized sport too hard
4.What's the best title for the passage?
A. The Importance of Doing Sports
B. The Necessity of Physical Education
C. Stop Specializing in Sports So Early
D. Develop Children's Athletic Abilities

For much of my childhood, my mother filled the evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn't when one evening my mother announced she'd start a new project.
"I'm going to telephone neighboring every night," said my mother.
"Every night? But you don't even these people. "

A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.
This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.
Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.
1.Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?
A. She is independent of others in daily life.
B. She can solve problems usually for men.
C. She is more tolerant to stress.
D. She is soft and tender to others.
2.How many respondents like tough women?
A. about 21,265. B. about 16,700
C. about 10,600. D. about 6,200
3.Why are there more tough women nowadays?
A. Because tough women are more lovely.
B. Because of the fierce competition in society.
C. Because girls often love fathers more.
D. Because more women want to be independent.
4.What problems may tough women have in their life?
A. They may have difficulty with marriage.
B. They often suffer gender confusion.
C. It’s difficult for them to be friends.
D. They have different characteristics from traditional female images.

Nobody can avoid making a mistake at some point in their life. We might as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore wise to work out some strategies for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn’t said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn’t come up to the standards that a client or customer expected. You may feel that it was a genuine mistake which couldn’t be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should quickly try to remedy(补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS-Timing, Action, Briefness, Sincerity.
The time of a letter of apology is important-it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only worsen the problem. In this case “Better late than never” is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also essential to detail the action you plan to take to correct whatever you did wrong.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice. Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time “once again, I am so sorry for…” or “as I said earlier, I am really sorry about…”
1.What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Advice on making fewer mistakes.
B. Strategies for making an apology.
C. Advice on writing a letter of apology.
D. Importance of a timely letter of apology.
2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means you ______.
A. don’t have to take the mistake you made seriously
B. don’t waste time worrying about what happened
C. forget about what happened
D. analyze who was at fault
34. 3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. It’s important to apologize timely.
B. A mistake is not always easy to clear.
C. People are always unwilling to apologize.
D. People should think twice before apologizing.
4.What will be discussed following the last paragraph?
A. The sincere tone of the letter.
B. The proper length of the letter.
C. An apology email, choice of the 21st century.
D. The importance of saying “sorry” more than twice.
