"Tear’em apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee(裁判)!"

They are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent(无害的)enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed(流血).Books have been written about the way words affect us. It has shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.

    The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy":“ one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control one's mind, and every action, no matter how bad, may be considered correct . I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he didn't consider them wet enough. The player rubbed his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?"

    In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which is different from normal behavior.

Therefore, I believe it is time we promoted the game to the level where it is by setting an example. Replacing the term “opponent” with “ associate” could be an ideal way to start.

    The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend”;“companion.” Think it over!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate' rather than "opponent."

We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store.  21  we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than  22  and making a sale.

One lesson stands out in my  23  . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was  24   a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me  — too poor to  25  to buy anything. He looked  26  the toy section, picked up this item and  27 , and carefully put them  28  in their place.

Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes  29  and the dimple(酒窝) in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 30  to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his  31  and look around. He did.

After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy  32 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”

“How much you got?” Dad asked.

The little boy held out his hand and  33  it. His hand was creased(起皱) with  34  lines of dirt from holding his  35   too tightly. In his hand  36  two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.

“That’ll just  37  it,” Dad said as he  38  the sale. Dad’s reply still  39  in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a  40  .

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutchmen in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption average more than 3 ounces.

For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.

During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol levels.

  41. The passage is mainly about           .

A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries

B. the changes in people’s diet

C. the daily fish consumption of people in different culture.

D. The effect of fish eating on people’s health

  42. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths         .

A. in the countries with good production of fish

B. in the countries of the yellow-skin race

C. in the countries with high consumption of fish

D. in highly-developed countries

  43. The underlined part “This relationship” may refer to the connection between        and the level of heart disease.

A. the amount of fish eaten            B. regular fish-eating

C. the kind of fish eaten              D. people of different areas

  44. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A. Ads.           B. Movies.          C. Briefs.          D. Health and diet.
