dinner table.Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolor1 ed pages.It was mygrandfathers journal and now belonged to my father.My grandfather had passed away in the months leading upto my birth.I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his lifesjourney.I was now about to enter his world,through the words he had left behind.Within minutes,I wascaptivatedbythe power of the written words.In the magical script(笔迹)before me,I was transported to another age whenfood was an everyday art,planned,prepared and enjoyed in the company of others,and a time when people hadthe heart to pause their own lives to embrace(拥抱)each others struggles.All this was conveyed to me in thebeauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writers mind and understand the world they livedin.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today.We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for apublic looking for entertainment,and hungry for information.No wonder,there are nearly 200 million bloggers onthe Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second.Instead of adding to ourcollective wisdom,most of these writings reflectthe superficiality(肤浅)and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays,it also prevents us from exploring what is indeedimportant.Writing humbles(使谦卑)us in a way that is vital for our character growth,by reminding us about thelimits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.Writing frees us by helping us explore theunknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us.I saw all of this in the writing of mygrandfather.And Ive seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity.Their writingreflect deep thought on issues of human importance.4.The underlined word“captivated”in the second paragraph can be replaced by“_”.A.puzzledB.frightenedC.attractedD.defeated5.In the authors grandfathers age,people _.A.lived a hard lifeB.cared about each otherC.were fond of writingD.treated food as an art6.The author begins the text with her grandfathers journal in order to _.A.show her respect to her grandfatherB.present the importance of good writingC.express her interest in reading as well as writingD.raise the problems with todays writing7.In the last paragraph,the author is trying to _.A.discuss what good writing is likeB.express her strong desire to learn writing skillsC.stress the effects of her grandfathers journal on herD.show her admiration for her grandfathers writingCIts a little before8 a.m.when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicagos Jenner ElementaryAcademy for the Arts.He walks down the hall toward the office to sign in.Its the same routine hes had asJenners art teacher for nearly a quarter century.“Its going to be a good day,”a colleague calls out.“Its a goodday.”They hug.It seems like a typical Friday.Except its not.After 23 years at Jenner Elementary,Schergen isretiring.Even on his last day,there are still art projects to finish.Schergen leaves behind a richlegacyat this school.Hes won grants(拨款)for art projects.He turned anempty classroom into a museum.Hes pushed his students to make art about their lives.And he was awarded aGolden Apple the most honorable teaching award in Chicago.But it wasnt always easy.For years,Schergentaught in one of the citys toughest neighborhoods.“When I first got my room,I noticed there were bullet holes inthe window.That made me nervous,”he says.So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it“look kind offunny”.“I didnt even tell my wife for a whole year,”he says.“I didnt want her to know.”With one hour to go,Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes,one of his best helpers,has watched him say goodbye all day.He wanders in thedoorway.“Ah,come here,son,”Schergen says,signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you formaking these last days special and being a help to me.”When Deontae leaves,a reporter asks Schergen:When your kids ask why youre retiring,what do you tellthem?“I just tell them that grown people have dreams too,”he says.“I have other things in my life I have to do.Its time.Its just time.”8.Why is it a special Friday for Schergen?A.He was retiring on that day.B.He won an honor for his school.C.He was interviewed by a reporter.D.He received a Golden Apple award.9.What does the

TeacherB.Time for Art ProjectsC.A Teachers Final Day at SchoolD.The Last Art ClassDSport is not only physically challenging,but can also be mentally challenging.Criticism from coaches,parentsand other teammates,as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stresscanbe physical,emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.Burnout hasbeen 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 wherevaluable experiences can take place.Young athletes can,for example,learn how to cooperate with others,makefriends,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 parentsand coaches criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work forchildren.The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport andother life lessons.In todays youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win insteadof enjoying themselves and the sport.Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and findfaults with youngsters performances.Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome.Researchindicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again,criticism cancreate high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.12.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_.A.to make sport less competitiveB.to increase their sense of successC.to reduce their mental stressD.to make sport more challenging13.According to the passage,sport is positive for young people in that_.A.it
