Question

Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them. I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.
I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isn’t a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day.
I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it’s just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!
Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them. It’s never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. That’s why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don’t get down. They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they don’t shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you.
Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we can’ t let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing

ADB
1.猜測詞義題。根據劃線部分所在句子和后面幾句的意思可知，當教練批評的時候，不要失望，反而，教練不理會你的錯誤時，就意味著他放棄了你。故劃線部分的意思是“指出錯誤”。故選A。
2.并不是只有有天賦的人才能在運動中得到快樂，A錯；第二段第二行只提到運動是一種不錯的度過下午的方式，B錯；根據最后一段可知，參與最重要，輸贏不重要，C錯；根據第二段前兩句可知，作者極力推薦讀者參加運動，即使自己不是最棒的，因為體育運動能帶來快樂。故選D。
3.主旨大意題。文章開門見山指出，許多人參加運動是為了獲得勝利和榮譽，其實得到的會更多。在文章末尾，作者再次強調，只需盡力，不要太擔心輸贏。作者建議讀者參加運動來活得快樂。文章強調的是運動帶來的好處，勝利并不重要。故選B。
