As the parent of two teenagers who have played multiple sports over the years, I’ve seen the good, the bad, the ugly and the absolutely cruel.

However, when I think about the value of sports and why my kids continue to play sports teach kids lessons to become successful adults. Through sports, kids learn how to work in teams, have to take risks, how to challenge themselves to be better, and how to behave when they lose—and when they win.

Whether kids play soccer, baseball, football, or cheer, they learn they are part of a team where one person depends on another. When my son plays baseball, he’s not the only one who needs to play well; he depends on his defense to make the plays in the field. When my daughter plays tennis, she depends on her partner to cut off the ball at the net and win the point, and the tennis team depends on each person in order to win the overall match. Sports also teach children to trust and respect the decisions of someone who understands how the entire team needs to work in order to succeed.

Sadly, though, youth sports have suffered from the “winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing” attitude. They have become too much of a refection of professional sports. Winning is a happy result, but the lessons from losing are even more important. When my daughter loses tennis match, her coach reminds her that you learn more from losing than from winning. Losing makes you focus on improving your skills and your strategy. We’re going to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.

I believe that participating in youth sports is much more than building a sound body winning a scholarship to college. Sports are the best way to shape and build more self-motivated and happier children and help them become more self-motivated and happier adults.

1.What is the author’s attitude to youth sports?

A. What sports the author’s kids take.

B. What the author’s kids do in sports.

C. How sports benefit the authors kids.

D. How the author’s kids continue to play sports.

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Teenagers don’t have to win every time.

B. Winning is the only goal for teen players.

C. Teenagers should work together to succeed.

D. Winning is not the most important in sports.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Youth Sports Build Better Adults

B. Teenagers Suffer from Youth Sports

Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times. Janet Croft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention(CDC)in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies(僵尸).”

One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated.

Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8:30 am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP),those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock(生物钟).Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems.

The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents aren’t aware of this. In the same study,7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Owens.

Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands.”

Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too. Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don’t sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.

1.What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2?

A.The students’ brain health is worrying.

B.The students are fond of computer games.

C.The students are so used to staying up very late.

D.The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes.

2.According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by

A.increasing their course load

B.affecting their circadian clock

C.affecting their performance at school

D.disturbing their relationships with classmates

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast.

B.Physical and mental health are equally important to teens.

C.It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning.

D.Teachers should take measures to raise students’ interest in learning.

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Parents are unaware of their kids’ sleep condition.

B.Being overweight is very common among American teens.

C.Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead.

D.Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens’ study.

First introduced in 1927, The Hardy Boys Stories are a series (系列) of books about the stories of brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, teenaged detectives who solve one mystery (神秘) after another. The cover of The Hardy Boys says that the author of the series is Franklin. Over the years, though, many fans of the books have been surprised to find out that Franklin is not a real person. If Franklin never existed, then who wrote The Hardy Boys Stories?

The Hardy Boys are written through a process called ghostwriting (鬼手写作). A ghostwriter writes a book according to a fixed formula (公式). Although ghostwriters are paid for writing the books, their names do not appear on the published books. Ghostwriters can write books for children or adults, the content of which is various.

The idea for The Hardy Boys series was developed by a publisher named Stratemeyer. He noticed the increasing popularity of mysteries among adults, and thought that children would enjoy reading mysteries about younger detectives of their age. He first developed each book with an outline (提纲). Once having completed the outline, he then hired a ghostwriter to turn it into a book of over 200 pages. After finishing a draft (草稿) of a book, he or she would send it back to Stratemeyer, who would make a list of corrections and mail it back to the ghostwriter. The ghostwriter would improve the book according to Stratemeyer’s suggestions and then return it to him. Once Stratemeyer approved the book, it was ready to be published.

The Hardy Boys had a number of different ghostwriters producing books. However, the first ghostwriter, Leslie, proved to be the most influential. Although he was using prepared outlines as guides, Leslie developed the characters through his imagination. He was also responsible for the details in the story. For example, Leslie created Bayport, the Hardy Boys’ hometown, based on where he grew up.

Although The Hardy Boys were very popular with children, not everyone approved of them. Critics thought their stories were not real, since most teenagers did not have the same experience as Frank and Joe Hardy. Besides, many teachers and librarians are against the ghostwriting process, saying it was designed to produce books quickly, but not to create quality literature. Some libraries even refuse to include the books in their children’s collections.

1.Which of the following people was a real ghostwriter?

A.Franklin B.Stratemeyer C.Leslie D.Joe Hardy

2.A ghostwriter is someone who _______.

A.only writes loving stories for adults B.doesn’t receive praise as the author

C.writes the content of his books freely D.doesn’t receive money for writing

3.According to the passage, it can be inferred that Leslie _______.

A.hated writing according to a fixed formula B.didn’t respect the art of ghostwriting

C.was unsuccessful in his writing career D.was a man of imagination and creativity

4.Some teachers and librarians dislike ghostwritten books because they _______.

A.believe the books were poor in quality B.consider mystery stories bad for adults

C.think the books were too expensive D.believe Stratemeyer cheated readers

5.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A.Ghostwriting: Create Quality Literature B.Who Was Leslie?

C.The Hardy Boys: Ghostwriting a Series D.Why Were The Hardy Boys Published?
