4. 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的时间 2019 年及建议 各个运动场所向坎顿的这所学校学习的内容可知，此处作者是表 达个人愿望。
(2019·济南市高三一模) Can I talk about salary at work? In a word: yes. As HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post: Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co－workers? Yes. Even if you have a company policy against it? Yes. The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under federal labor law. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment, including issues related to safety and pay, even when you’re not protected by a union.
The sign, posted by the Canton Little League， read： PLEASE REMEMBER ·These are kids. ·This is a game. ·The coaches volunteer. ·You don’t play for the Red Sox(an American professional baseball team)．
Asking about money outright can be tough, so one trick I’ve picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny. For instance, you might volunteer your salary first and ask “Does that sound about right to you？” by way of comparison. Or, let’s say you’re interviewing for a promotion to become a manager. You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying, “I’m seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65，000 to $70，000—does that seem accurate to you？” This way, even if your colleague isn’t comfortable sharing their salary outright, they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.
Adults should try to set up youth leagues so more kids play with and against kids from nearby schools and neighborhoods. They should make it easier for kids to play a sport for just a few months so that they can try other sports. Kids shouldn’t play one sport year－ round.
And everyone should stop worrying about which team wins or loses. A friend of mine who coached a lot of youth teams once told me, “When you coach kids, it’s not how many you win or lose, but how many sign up for next season.” According to the Aspen Institute’s latest “State of Play” report, fewer kids are signing up. Research indicates a smaller percentage of kids aged 6 to 12(37 percent) are playing team sports on a regular basis than in 2011(42 percent)．
First, kids who play are just kids. They are not mini professional athletes. So youth sports leagues and coaches should take it easy on them. Kids don’t need long schedules and lots of faraway games or high－pressure tournaments.
Maybe in 2019 every field or gym where kids play should have a sign like the one in Canton. All you would have to do is change the name of the team.
1. How might the author feel seeing the sign on the fence?
D. Kids are focusing more on succeeding than trying.
4. What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?
A. Give praise.
B. Express a wish.
C. Offer sympathy.
Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable, since there’s such a taboo about discussing money matters, but it’s an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work. One barrier, however, stems from how we think of our own financial worth. Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness, a statement about their skills, experience, or value. At the end of the day, if we can all separate our self－worth from our salaries a bit more, it’ll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.
2. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的“They should make it easier for kids to play a sport for just a few months so that they can try other sports.”可知，作者建议成年人应该宽松对待孩子的体育 训练。 3. 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的两个数字对比可 知，参加团体体育项目的孩子数量在减少。
I had to laugh, especially at the joke about the Red Sox. But I think the sign is a good reminder to everyone connected with youth sports—kids, parents, coaches and the folks who run the leagues— what is important about the games.
3. What can be inferred from the Aspen Institute’s report?
A. Kids today are less athletic.
B. Fewer youth leagues are being set up.
C. Youth group sports are losing popularity.
A. Relieved.
B. Worried.
C. Confident.
D. Disappointed.
2. What’s the author’s advice for adults?
A. Go easy on kids. B. Choose youth leagues carefully.
C. Encourage kids to stick to one sport. D. Make a year－round schedule for kids.
5. What makes co － workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries?
A. The safety issue. B. The federal labor law. C. The wrong idea about salaries. D. The reflection of their worthiness. 6. What does “taboo” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A prohibited practice. B. A religious belief. C. A gal custom.

(2019·邢台一中二模) I was speaking to the faculty(全体教师) at John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Canton, Massachusetts, a couple weeks ago. I arrived early and decided to take a walk. There was a Little League field nearby. I spotted a sign on the fence(围墙)．
