I can 1 remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a 2 can do strange things to people. It 3 to me the other day that I might not have come to 4 life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the 5 of them made me appreciate more 6 I had leftLife, I believe, asks a continuous series of 7 to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me----a 8 to live, you might call it---- which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with 9 .The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have 10 and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say 11 _ in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, 12 imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the complex pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most 13 things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was 14 me and I was 15 . “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words 16 in my head. “Roll it around!”By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought 17 : playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I 18 a successful game of baseball, which we called ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of 19 and then tried to reach them, one at a time.

Service animalsBSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was the Olympics the scene of a tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is fartoo much that encourages aggressive patriotism.24.

The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. International contests will lead to misunderstanding between nationsIII.任务型阅读It's no surprise that sports can greatly benefit a child physically, psychologically, and socially. A 2008 Women's Sports Foundation Report concluded that children's athletic participation has something to do with increased levels of family satisfaction, great achievement in study, and an overall better quality of life for children. And a study published in last month's American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that kids who are active at age 5 wind up with less body fat at ages 8 and 11.But one hotly debated discussion focuses on the kinds of sports kids should play, with parents incorrectly thinking, "Lizzie is so quiet. We should enroll her in basketball and soccer to try to get her to open up.” But increasingly, experts are suggesting the healthier instinct might be, “Lizzie is so quiet. Maybe we should see if she likes playing with a big team like softball or if she likes ballet or swimming, where she can work more on her own terms."Participation in any sport is going to provide kids with life skills the ability to focus and to concentrate, the ability to handle pressure in tough situations, and the ability to stay calm when things aren't going just right," explains Orlando-based youth sports psychology expert Patrick Cohn. Those lessons will cany over into future, non-sports endeavors.Team sports certainly offer benefits not as easily obtained via individual activities, as players learn how to communicate and work with others, and there's the potential to develop leadership abilities. Team sports also help kids develop their social identity. Our sense of worth is developed through what we achieve and a sense of belonging.Individual sports offer distinct advantages, too, li ke developing a child’s sense of independence. "Here, you don't depend upon teammates,says Cohn. "You take full responsibility, whether you do well or perform poorly.” Many of Cohn’s young clients complain about pressure from teammates or coaches to make zero mistakes or carry more of the team than they may want to; these kids may enjoy a solo sport like tennis or gymnastics.Individual activities keep kids from comparing themselves to the best players on the team, a habit that does little to help confidence levels. Instead, it encourages them to compare their skills to their own past performances. With individual sports like swimming or track, it's easier for the child to participate on his own, at his leisure, without having to round up a bunch of like-minded peers.Above all, while some children thrive(健康成长) on the excitement of competition, others are more likely to benefit from the freedom of individual sports, and finding the right balance can be necessary for children’s enjoyment. What parents think is encouragement, children often consider as限时41完形填空26-30 CABDD 31-35 CABCB 36-40 AABCD 41-45 ADCDD阅读理解BBD CCA任务型阅读1. academic2. opinions/views3. match4. beneficial5. effect/influence/impact6. identity7. responsibility8.
