teammates, as well as pressure to win can create 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 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, that their feedback 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 that youth sport participation does not become work for children. the outcome 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 worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and 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.1. according to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _.a. it can help them learn more about societyb. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesc. it can provide them with valuable experiencesd. it enables them to find flaws in themselves2. according to the passage parents and coaches should _.a. help children to win every gameb. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsc. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsd. train children to deal with stress3. the authors purpose in writing the passage is _.a. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenb. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismc. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementd. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout bdo successful businessmen need an office? increasingly the answer seems to be no. chris ward, author of the book out of office explains how president barack obamas first inauguration (就职) speech was written by 27-year-old jon favreau sitting in starbucks; how richard tait, creator of cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how michael acton smith invented the childrens virtual world moshi monsters in his local caff nero; and how jk rowling, the novelist behind harry potter, believes a caf is the best place to write. it is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces such as cafs than renting an expensive office. offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job. thanks to mobile communications, wifi and cloud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop pcs, the traditional office is becoming redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to special locations. but many of us from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers can operate almost anywhere. that freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make ones career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient. 4. the second paragraph mainly wants to tell us_. a. obama didnt write his inauguration speech by himselfb. people dont have to work in an office c. a caf is the best place to writed. many writers like to write in a coffee shop5. which of the following careers is tied to special locations? a. software engineers. b. copywriters. c. surgeons. d. fashion designers.6. the traditional office is becoming redundant due to the following except_. a. mobile communications b. wifi and cloud storagec. heavy-duty equipment d. the misery of a daily commute7. what can we infer from the text? a. many people hate commuting daily. b. the tradition office will no longer exist.c. working in public places will reduce efficiency. d. chefs can work anywhere.cblind tasting is a very strange activity. contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. it involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. i tasted seven champagnes(香槟) blind with a group of professionals recently. there was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. that sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. but it happens all the time when wine is tasted blind. because im interested in how wines really taste instead of how i think they should, i taste wine blind as often as i can, especially when assessing similar young wines. but blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely different. the most difficult master of wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality. now that the mw is behind me, i taste wine completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. so my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when i act as a judge, with hugh johnson, in the oxford vs cambridge wine-tasting competition. this is the most extraordinary match, always held before the boat race but taken just as seriously nowadays. this years taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the oxford and cambridge club on pall mall in london. 8. which of the following is true about blind tasting?a. blind tasting is the professional way to identify a wine.b. blind tasting usually has the right result.c. blind tasting means tasting a wine with ones eyes covered.d. blind tasting is tasting a wine without seeing the label.9. why did the professionals get shocked at the result of their blind tasting? a. they got all the results correctly. b. they didnt recognize their favorite at all.c. the writer made no mistakes. d. champagnes can not be tasted blind.10. which of the following interests the writer most? a. assessing young wines. b. master of wine exams. c. tasting wine blind in public. d. oxford v cambridge wine-tasting competition.11. what can we infer from the last paragraph? a. the boat race is taken more seriously than the wine race.b. the oxford v cambridge wine-tasting competition is held annually.c. i didnt act as a judge last year.d. pall mall is chosen as the competition place for the first time. dbangkok has become the worlds top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit thailands capital city this year, according

why cant we be more like them? its not the big things that make someone extraordinary. here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day: 16 just because youre the boss, doesnt mean you are right every time. learn to back up your decisions with reason. use logic to explain things, not authority. by doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.they are generous with compliments（恭维）. remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. not even a thank- you._17_ so every chance you get to praise someone, do it. a simple, “that was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves. 18 they are helpful. never hesitate to help someone. its fairly simple but it goes a long way. dont be non-committal（不负责的）and say something vague like, “can i help you?” because they might just say, “no, im good.” 19 “i had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. i think i have figured a way to make it work.” offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial.theyre in charge of their emotions. sometimes it is very important to stay silent.
