选修七Module1 测试一、阅读理解( 15*2 '=30')ASports is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging.Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated 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（缺陷）in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not becomework for children. The outcome of the gameshould not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's 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 regardless of the outcome. Research indicates 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．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is to ______ .A．reduce their mental stressB．increase their sense of successC．make sports less competitiveD．make sports more challenging2．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that ______ .A．it can help them learn more about societyB．it enables them to find flaws in themselvesC．it can provide them with valuable experiencesD．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves3．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ______ .A. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentB. without realizi ng criticism may destroy their self-con fide nceC. in order to make them remember life's lessonsD. so as to put more pressure on them4.

It was odd,_because the dream began before I even knew what a city was. But I could see this city, by a big bay, with boats on the water and houses all around. Sometimes I saw silver things flying in the sky. It was a pretty place.Once I asked my sister, Mary, where the city was. She told me that there was no such place. She said that long ago there might have been a city like that, but not now. Then she told me not to talk about the dream to anyone.Mary did not want meto talk about anything that might makepeople think I was different from them. Where we lived, people were always looking out for strange things. They even thought it w as strange that I was left-handed. So I did not talk about my dream to anyone, and as I got older I did not have it so often.And I never told anyone that I could talk to my cousin Rosalind without seeing her. I wasn't sure if talking like that was strange. After some time I thought perhaps I was just like everyone else. Until the day I met Sophie.One day I had done off by myself as I often did. I went down a cart-track from our farm until I came to a high ridge. This ridge was very long, and ran all the way round the land, as far as you could see. I had often gone along the top of it, but I hadn't been down the other side. Somehow the land on the other side seemed strange, like another country. But today I played a game.The rain had worn away some of the bank on the other side and I could push myself down the path made by the rain. I did this twice, rushing down the ridge and landing in the soft sand at the bottom. The third time I landed, a voice said, “ Hello. ”9．The sentence “It was odd, because the drea m began before I even knew what a city was.” suggests that _______ .A. the dream began as soon as I fell asleepB. my dream was always the sameC. I had not seen a cityD. my dream always started in a city10．I was able to slide down the ridge because ______ .A. heavy rain had made paths down its sideB. the ridge was made of soft sandC. he had played the game many times beforeD. the ridge was very long11．The underlined word “odd” means “__________ ”．A. familiarB. excitingC. strangeD. amusingDEat Your Vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please ” and “thank you ”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say.As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives ：Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl was to save $1,000 , invest （投资） it at8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!Be careful of credit cards. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that whenyou buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a newbicycle that costs $150, rather than paying the cash, give him someregular pocket moneyand explain that by putting aside, say, $5 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dolla r heor she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot，” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.Explain your values. “Values and money are deeply intertwined ，” says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financia lly Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buysomething, explain why you really don't want to buy it. “You might say, I'd rather savethat moneyfor your education ，” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.12．The writer gives some basics to help in a proper way _____ .A. parents teach their children how to deal with moneyB. children follow their parents' instructionsC. children manage their moneyD. parents save their money13．The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something his parents should _______________ .A. give him some regular pocket moneyB. en courage him to put money away for itC. explai n to him the importa nee of inv estme ntD. tell him to save some money by using a credit card14. The underlined word ________________________ “incentive ” in Paragraph 6 means “” .A. honorB. praiseC. exciteme ntD. en courageme nt15. What leads the writer to write this article?A. Pare nts want to know how to educate their childre n.B. He wan ts to share his good ideas about money matters.C. He thi nks money man ageme nt the most importa nt for childre n.D.
