Canyoning (蹦谷运动)
The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.
It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.tyf.com) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).
Diving (潜水)
Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills.
Surfing (冲浪)
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are warmer.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.
Rock climbing
The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, while large areas of Scotland are a climber’s ideal place.

In one game, with the score tied and time     2    (run) out, he was playing a defensive position. The other team’s star player got     3    ball but my son was in his way. Somehow, when they met, the result was that the star player     4    (fall) on the ground and my son got the ball. He ran with     5    and had a clear path to the goal. His coach jumped up and down     6    (shout) “go” and most of the parents cheered for victory.
When my son kicked the ball several yards towards the goal, he     7    (sudden) stopped and went back to the star player, helping him up. When we all got     8    (enthusiasm) about the game and forgot about basic values of fairness and fun, my son helped a player of the other team.

    1    The Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Ohio did the study. It was published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine. The study found a sixty-three percent increase in the number of people treated for rock climbing injuries in American hospitals. The study said forty thousand people were treated in emergency rooms.    2    The ankle was the most common body part to be injured.    3    The average age was twenty-six. Fifty-six percent of the injuries were to people twenty to thirty-nine years old. Women made up twenty-nine percent of the injured population. That is more than that in past rock climbing studies.    4    But many people think it is worth it. John Bachar said rock climbing felt like being on another planet. Dean Fidelman says it is a continual challenge and a beautiful form of movement. And, for Sarah Bowman, she has just started her way up the rocks.Dean Fidelman said that he believes a climber’s ego(自我价值感) can be his worst enemy on a rock.    5

Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.

Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore big boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500.

Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for a special course.“It’s traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard (硬纸板) for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said.“We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the neighborhood. The youngest person to ever took part was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old woman. A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.

       “Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.
1. What can we learn about Alex Quinones?

A．He finished the race in less than a minute.

B．He won the race with the help of 2 boats.

C．He failed the race last year.

D．He set a new record this year.

2. For what purpose did the students join in the race?

A．To go across the lake to school.

B．To test their balance on the water.

C．To earn a good grade for a course.

D．To win the prize money of $500.

3. What can we learn according to the fourth paragraph?

A．More than 20 teams failed to cross the lake.

B．The students who fell into the water had to quit.

C．The students kept silent when the other racers competed.

D．The youngest competitor competed instead of her mother.

4. According to Canaves, this race can help the students ________.

A．understand designing better

Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much 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 faults in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should 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 faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support 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_____________.

A．to make sport less competitive

B．to increase their sense of success

C．to reduce their mental stress

D．to make sport more challenging

2. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that_____________.

A．it can help them learn more about society

B．it enables them to find faults in themselves

C．it can provide them with valuable experiences

D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

3. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes_____________.

A．believing that criticism does good to their early development

B．without realizing criticism may destroy their self­confidence

C．in order to make them remember life’s lessons

D．so as to put more pressure on them

4. According to the passage parents and coaches should_____________.

A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport

B．help children to win every game

C．train children to cope with stress

D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport

Long ago, poems were recited out loud instead of being written down. Back when the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.

Now, poetry competitions have been revived (恢复). This year 120, 000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest, performing poems from memory for $100, 000 in prizes.

The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to school－wide contests, and then they competed in city and state competitions. Finally, the 50 state champions, along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington D.C. last week for the last showdown. After the 51 champions competed against one another, 12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had one last chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a $20, 000 scholarship.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud, because they realized that bearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.

It’s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It’s the tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life. “Each time we hear somebody recite a poem, we understand again what we found fresh and interesting about it,” said National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.

Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, but memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants (选手) understand those poems in a new way. Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public－speaking skills that can help them for life.

1. From the first paragraph, we can know ________.

A．the Greeks were the first to write poems

B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting

C．poems were spread orally in the past

D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing

2. How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington D.C.?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．Six.

3. According to the passage, hearing a poem recited in a new voice can ________.

A．bring a new life to listeners

B．help listeners find their interest

C．make listeners learn the words

D．offer something new to listeners

4. What influence the beauty of poems?

A．The word order and the tone of voice.

B．The attitude of the person performing them.

C．The tone of voice, the pauses, the gestures and the attitude of the person reciting them.

D．The pauses and the gestures of the person performing them.

9 . It was the men’s figure skating final of the Winter Olympics when I was 16.I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains: American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. As a Northern Californian, I was for my fellow countryman. He also grew up in Northern California. We'd skated on the same ice. Brain performed successfully. The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up.

But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brain sat in front of the camera, surrounded by a group of journalists. Brain was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics,

I thought, I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words.

What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I'd freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet, there was so much I would love to say, about my family and all the support they'd given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion.

I worked very hard the next few years — on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. And they got to know me. Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself, to be honest and gracious and do my best, just like on the ice, to answer their questions.

So when my big moment came four years after Brain's, I was ready. Remember: when you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.

10 . Reasons Why Physical Education is Important in School

Are you looking for information about the importance of physical education in schools and why it should be emphasized? Do you want a healthy active lifestyle for your kids? Then this article can help you convince your kids that exercising and participation especially in school PE classes are important.

● It's a link to good health.

    1     It's only in physical education classrooms that students learn the value of taking care of themselves through proper healthy eating and regular exercise.

●It's preventive measure against diseases.

    2     Without any forms of diet management and control with the numerous processed foods students intake every day, a student's health can easily be at risk of many diseases. Physical education in schools is a preventive measure to teach students the value of regular exercise.

●    3    

Physical health allows students to function even better in classrooms. A good cardiovascular(心血管的) system developing from regular exercise promotes excellent blood and oxygen circulation. This means more nutrients circulate throughout the body which includes the brain. This circulation produces longer attention time during classes allowing longer concentration and better absorption.

● It builds self-esteem

Students who are active in physical activities like basketball, volleyball and running are more confident with themselves according to most social school studies.     4     In school, the physical education program introduces these sport activities to students allowing them to make choices of which sport areas they want to get involved in.

●    5    

Most physical education programs are holistic. The program allows students to interact together to a common goal, that is, to win and excel physically. It not only brings out the competitive sides of students working with both body and mind but also promotes sportsmanship.

●It promotes a physically active lifestyle.

The purpose of physical education is to instill(逐渐灌输) in students, at an early age, the value of self-preservation and choosing a lifestyle that is good for both the mind and body.

A．Physical education plays a vital role in students' development and growth.

B．It's a program for muscle strength and fitness.

C．It's probably because of the dedication made to a sport that brings out the best in students.

D．It develops cooperation, teamwork and sportsmanship.

E．The value of physical fitness cannot be overstated too much.

F．It promotes academic learning.

G．Many doctors today agree that obesity is a serious health risk.
