大学英语3重修复习资料Coaching Your Kids in Sports and Extracurricular ActivitiesMany parents ― especially fathers ― enjoy coaching their kids’ sports teams and leading children’ scout troops （童子军）. It is a great way to get to know your child in a social envir onment, and to actively involve yourself in your child’s life outside the home. Sports and other extracurricular activities are vehicles by which your child learns how to interact with other people and how to observe the fairness of games and activities. They learn valuable childhood lessons during these activities, and who could blame you for wanting to be a part of it?Some children are excited about the prospect of having Mommy or Daddy involved in their activities, and others fight against it as though it were the worst thing in the world. I was a member of the latter group of kids because I wanted to express my independence and learn how to handle myself without the watchful eyes of my parents. I’m sure I hurt their feelings in my adamancy （固执）on the issue, but they respected my feelings once I reached a certain age.If you are thinking about coaching or leading an activity, it’s important to talk with your kids and determine their feelings. Find out how they react to the prospect of your involvement, and ask why they feel the way that they do. Your decision on the issue is entirely up to you, but it is still a good idea to ask your children what they think.But not matter how they feel, there are a few guidelines that you should follow when coaching and leading activities. These guidelines will help create a better relationship between you and your child, and prevent any problems from arising in the future.1. Treat your child exactly the way you treat the other children.As an authority figure, it is your job not to play favorites, which includes your child. If you favor your child above the others, you will create tension in the team or group, and the other players will become hostile toward your child for getting the advantage. It i sn’t that you should pretend that you aren’t a parent, but choose teams fairly and give everyone an equal opportunity in the activity.2. Make time for the activity.There is nothing worse for a child than to have their parent fail their team. If you commit to coaching or leading, ensure that you can meet every obligation and that you have time in your busy schedule to stay active with the group. If you think that you might have conflicts with time, then wait for another opportunity.3. Enjoy the activity.If you want to coach your son’s basketball team, but you hate the sport, then you probably won’t be very good at it, and you will make your son miserable. Coaching a sport just to have time with your child isn’t the right way to go. If you want to help with an activity or sport, make sure that it’s something that you enjoy and that you are knowledgeable about.4. Don’t tell lots of stories.If you spend half of practice regaining the group with stories from your childhood and how you played the sport, then your child will be embarrassed. Keep it completely focused on the kids during the activity, and save your stories for the home. It will make for a better relationship with your child and a higher team morale （士气）.5. Be prepared to deal with other parents.Even if you coach or lead fairly, be prepared for angry phone calls accusing you of playing favorites. Unfortunately, parents are often more passionate about kids’ activities than the children, and you should be cognizant （认识到的）of what you are getting yourself into. Keep your cool and handle every situation calmly.6. Cultivate the talent of every child.Your job as a coach or leader is to assist everyone with their talents and to encourage everyone to work and play bet ter. It is not your job to be your child’s personal cheerleader, or to spend more time cultivating their talents than those of the other kids. Talk with your child about this, and make sure that he or she is comfortable with the scenario.7. Never take practice home.If you have a bad practice, or if things went poorly at the scout meeting, leave it on the field or in the community center. You can’t punish your child for the problems with activities. Home should be a place where your child feels safe and welcome, not a continuation of soccer practice. Leave practice on the field. Make time for the activity.Keep “War Stories” to a minimum.1. It can be assumed that the target audience of this article is parents.2. By doing sports and other extracurricular activities children can learn how to interact with other people and how to observe the fairness of games and activities.3. Your decision on whether to coach or lead an activity is entirely up to what your childrenthink.4. In coaching or leading an activity, you should be fair to every player.5. The worst thing for a child is that his parent leads his team to failure.6. Telling stories from your childhood and how you played the sport can help to stimulate thechildren and boost their team morale.7. As a coach or leader your job is to be your child’s personal cheerleader.8. When the author was young he fought against his parents’ involvement in his activitiesbecause he _____________.9. If you want to help with an activity or sport, make sure that it’s something _____________.10. In case any problem comes up during the activity, you should leave it _____________.选词填空Attitudes towards __1___ are changing in much the same way that attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.

But over time, the American dream of owning a house in the suburbs has become an environmental nightmare .“Suburbs are laid out so that you can’t get to most places without a car,” says Phili p Langdon, who studied suburban developments in 18 states for his book, A Better Place to Live: Reshaping the American Suburb. Typical suburban zoning places houses at a distance from retail and commercial buildings ― making a car a necessity. With cars co mes air pollution; shopping districts with huge, paved parking areas; and houses fronted by big garages instead of congenial porches. Cars aren’t cheap, either. According to figures fromthe American Automobile Association, a typical suburban family has two vehicles, whichtogether eat up about 25% percent of the household’s after-tax income.Suburbs also use more developed land to house people than urban areas, because each family has a separate dwelling and yard. Most yard space is devoted to growing lawns thatare inhospitable to native wildlife. And per acre, far more chemicals are applied tosuburban lawns than to the nation’s farmland.Lastly, suburbs aren’t ideal places for socializing. Although the majority of Americans arenow suburbanites, “there is a lack of gathering places and community life,” says Langdon.“Life is more satisfying when you can get together with people.”1. According to the author, living in suburbs is ________ to living in urban areas now.A) not a healthy alternative C) not an environmental alternativeB) a healthy alternative D) an environmental alternative2. A car is a ________ for suburban living.A) substitute B) necessity C) token D) sign3. The word “suburbanites” means ________ in suburbs.A) plants B) animals C) surroundings D) people living4. Yard space which is devoted to growing lawns is not an ideal place to host ________.A) human beings B) plants C) guests D) animals5. It can be inferred that an ideal residential area should have ________ for socializing.A) churches B) supermarkets C) gathering places D) communities1. C2. B 3 D 4 D 5 CPassage TwoEarthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-relatedfatalities (死亡) have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction hasbeen beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due tofalling down of buildings and the effects of rock slides, floods, fire, disease, gigantic seawaves, and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakesthemselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur on two specific areas, along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains. But they may, however,it happens anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the fear and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquakeprediction may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns ofmovements in the earth’s surface, and other unusual phenomena, scientists have shownincreasing success in predicting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, aworldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to preparefor the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and do away with the destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become betterunderstood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible destructionbefore it occurs.1 Most destruction brought about by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT________.2 Most destruction brought about by earthquakes is the results of the following EXCEPT________.A) the collapsing of buildings and the fire it causesB) the floods and huge sea waves resulting from earthquakesC) the disease that often follows earthquakesD) the panic brought about by earthquakes3 ”This element of the unknown” in paragraph 3 refers to the fact that ________.A) earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculationB) millions of people have died during earthquakesC) earthquakes may occur anywhere at any timeD) there are other phenomena resulting from earthquakes4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A) A worldwide earthquake warning network has been set up to avoid majorearthquakes.B) Unusual behavior of animals may be an indication of possible earthquakes.C) It seems possible now for scientists to predict when and where earthquakes willoccur.D) Most earthquakes take place on some specific areas of the earth.5. The author believes that the prediction of earthquakes ________.A) should be more accurate in future C) is as a matter of factimpossibleB) is of some help D) is really reliable6 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author is chiefly interested in________.A) controlling earthquakesB) making earthquakes harmlessC) getting prepared and handling the possible destruction beforehandD) having a better understanding of earthquakes1 D 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. CPassage threeQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Perhaps the most important defining characteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here is not limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. These are seen by anthropologists (人类学家) as examples of culture: culture itself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner, culture has three principal aspects: behavioral, perceptual and material. The behavioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interact with each other. Inchild rearing (养育) , for example, parents and children tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is the manner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parents have a limited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significance parenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the material component of culture — the physical objects that we produce.Most of what goes into making up culture is a result of learning —modifying behavior in response to experience within an environment. Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no other organism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as much on learned behavior for its survival.While the survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded by instincts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learn how to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but a minimal (最小限度的) role.The ideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely by a complex system of symbols that includes language. Humans have evolved an extremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species. Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible.1. What is the definition of culture by anthropologists?A)Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a whole.B)Customary manners of behavior and thought related to the environment.C)Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with each other.D)The different ways people perceive the physical world.2. According to the passage, the behavior of making tools for producing materialobjects should fall within the category of _________ component of culture.A) behavioral B) perceptual C) material D) artistic3. Learning is most essential for _________.A)all the organisms to surviveB)all the organisms to acquire learned behaviorC)human beings to respond to experience within an environmentD)human beings to survive and live in a society4. What’s the element to human culture?A)Communication in language.B)Biological adaptation to the environmentC)Safeguarding by instinctsD)Learning to survive5. Which of the following statements is True?A)The capacity for learning can only be observed in human beings.B)Biology plays an important role in humans’ living in a social and physicalsetting.C)Human behavior and thought do not have anything to do with culture.D)If there were no language communicatio n, humans couldn’t have created thepresent culture.1.
