At the U.S. Open championships in Flushing Meadows, New York last week, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) held an unusual youth press conference (新闻发布会). I say "unusual" because the main idea wasn't to promote the sport for young children. Yes, there was a youth tennis exhibition in which a group of fresh-faced kids from the area showed off their well developed skills. They used junior racquets and larger, low-pressure balls on a half-size tennis court－a way the organization supports as a means to help children have early success and stick with the game.

But the event's real purpose was to help parents realize the importance of introducing kids to all kinds of athletic programs rather than focusing specially on one. This may sound like something easy to do, but it's not. In today's achievement-oriented (成功向导 ) environment, children are being pushed to specialize in a single sport－whether it's tennis, hockey, soccer, or gymnastics － at ever-younger ages. Tom Farrey, executive director of the nonprofit Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program, says year-round sports programs are now offered down to age 5, too early an age for a child to limit himself or herself to a single activity. While parents naturally want the best for their child, they are being pressured by coaches to let him or her stick with one thing.

The result: More kids under age 12 are suffering injuries or, worse, burnout. According to the Aspen Institute's report, Project Play, fewer kids today are staying involved with sports than five years ago, partly because of forced specialization. Today's children are already on track to live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents because of obesity and related diseases, and this trend is only worsening matters.

Multi-sport participation, however, leads to better performance (because kids get a chance to develop different sets of skills ) and greater enjoyment of the game, says Farrey. The headlining athletes at the event repeated the idea that having kids do more than one sport is a plus (good for them).

1.According to Tom Farrey, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Having kids do more than one sport is an advantage to their future career.

B. A child should limit himself to a single activity under the age of 5.

C. Parents are being pressured to let their kids stick with one sport.

D. Multi-sport participation leads to most kids' worse performance.

2.The underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A. introducing kids to many different sports instead of only one

B. inviting kids to only one sport instead of trying different ones

C. taking kids to only several different sports instead of too many

D. leading kids to any sport they like instead of trying many kinds

3. Fewer kids are staying involved with sports now than five years ago partly because they _______.

A. become too fat to take part in sports

B. have too much school work to complete

C. get too many injuries when they do sports

D. are pushed into specialized sport too hard

4.What's the best title for the passage?

A. The Importance of Doing Sports

B. The Necessity of Physical Education

C. Stop Specializing in Sports So Early

D. Develop Children's Athletic Abilities

There have been nine secetary0generals of the United Nations (联合国秘书长) since the first one was appointed (任命) in 1946. But somehow, Kofi Annan has been the one that people tend to remember the best.

Annan, born in Ghana, was the first black African to ever hold the job. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Just as the New York Times put it, Annan “redefined (重新定义) the UN”.

During those 10 years—from 1997 to 2006—the world was at its worst. This period witnessed the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the Sept. 11 attacks of 2001, and the US’s invasion (侵略) of Iraq in 2003.

On its own, the UN has little power. However, Annan combined that power with his own to achieve great things. He kept the world from falling apart from attacks and wars. He also fought for women’s rights and the educational rights of children, and fought against the spread of HIV in Africa.

It was because of these things that he and the UN were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, for their work toward “a better organized and a more peaceful world”. Annan also put “people” at the center of everything the UN does. He took the trouble to relate to (建立联系) others—young or old, senior or junior, ambassador (大使) or security guard (保安).

Maybe what Annan did was more than just redefine the UN. Indeed, as Antonio Guterres, current secretary-general of the UN, said, “In many ways, Kofi Annan was the UN.”

1.According to the passage, we can learn that ______.

A. secretary-generals are not usually remembered by people

B. people believe that Annan has been the best leader of Ghana

C. Annan is the only black man to win the Noble Peace Prize

D. Annan is the first black African secretary-general of the UN

2.The underlined word can be replaced by “______”.

A. saw B. made

C. prevented D. happened

3.What did Annan do to redefine the UN?

A. Women and children were kept from being attacked.

B. He stopped the spread of HIV and found the cure for AIDS in Africa.

C. He made the world a better and more peaceful place.

D. He has every country get the same rights in the UN.

4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A. Annan has trouble in communicating with others.

B. People are believed less important than others by Annan.

C. The current leader of the UN thins highly of Annan and his great achievements.

D. People in higher position easily get more support from the leaders of the UN.
