My eight-year-old son's soccer team in Washington DC was put together several years ago. The team has won 1 one game in the last three seasons. Yet, despite the endless 2 , soccer is my son's favorite activity. He plays soccer at every 3 , even at break time and at the aftercare (病后护理), and although he doesn't play as well as the best players in his school, this hasn't 4 him in the least.
This has been repeated often, but I 5 it first-hand: soccer is about friendship as much as it is about learning to control the ball and make successful 6 . Watching the children, I see that winning is a distant 7 goal for them. What they enjoy is each other's presence and the fact that they're in this game 8 .
Actually, I went through a phase of giving my son suggestions such as: Why aren't you more 9 once you have the ball? He 10 my sudden torrent (滔滔不绝) of guidance. \"Mom, I play midfield or defense, not forward. And 11 , soccer isn't about being aggressive. It's about 12 .\" After hearing that, I paused and 13 . How strange it is that I, who never played any sport for a single day of my life, wanted my son to be a(n) 14 footballer! Isn't it extraordinary that kids don't necessarily 15 their attempts to have impressive results? They love the activity for itself. Becoming an adult means a gradual 16 of that spirit. To stand out or 17 , people develop a spirit of competition. How often have I become 18 —professionally and personally—when things haven't gone the way I wanted?

(2)考查名词。句意:我敲开了修女的房门去寻求帮助。A. direction“方向”; B. help“帮助”; C. permission“许可”; D. advice“建议”。因为当时作者还是个5岁的孩子,对于尿床不知该如何是好,所以只能寻求大人的帮助。故选B。
(3)考查名词。句意:他们反而让我去,提着打湿的床垫在宿舍走。A. pride“骄傲”;B. comfort“安慰”;C. shame“羞辱”;D. apology“道歉”。根据下文可知修女们在宿舍大声嚷嚷给尿床的人让道\"可知,他们是要羞辱作者。故选C。
(4)考查名词。句意:他们反而让我去,提着打湿的床垫在宿舍走。A. toilets“厕所”;B. offices“办公室”;C. classrooms“教室”;D. dormitories“宿舍”。作者尿床是在宿舍发生的,所以根据逻辑推理可知,修女让她在宿舍。故选D。
(5)考查动词。句意:她们大声嚷道\"给尿床的人让路\而且怂恿同学们笑我并大声说些难听的话。A. forced“强迫”;B. persuaded“说服”;C. encouraged“鼓励,怂恿”;D. reminded“提醒”。根据上文\"Make way for the bed - wetter\"说话的语气可知,修女们故意让其他孩子嘲笑作者。故选C。

(12)考查动词。句意:因此,我决定除掉累积的痛苦和残忍,用快乐和成功来代替他们。A. associate“联合”;B. replace“代替”;C. compare“比较”;D. fill“填”。根据下文可知,要用快乐和成功代替之前的痛苦说明作者决定改变她的生活状态,符合文意。故选B。
(13)考查名词。句意:我开始参加运动然后赢得比赛。A. sport“运动”;B. debt“债”;C. shape“形状”;D. trouble“麻烦”。根据下文\"I decided to take the 15 I used in sport\"我决定把运动中的准则理念运用到生活的其他方面,中的sport可知她之前参加了运动。故选A。 (14)考查形容词。句意:我不像丈夫和修女说的那样是个无用的人。A. guilty“有罪的”;B. useless“无用的”;C. desperate“绝望的”;D. horrible“令人恐惧的”。根据上文中\"I started to read books about how to think highly of yourself.\"我开始阅读关于怎样能给自己高度评价的书,可知,她的丈夫或其他人对她的评价很低,他们都觉得她是没用的人。故选B。 (15)考查名词。句意:我决定把运动中的准则理念运用到生活的其他方面。A. skills“技巧”;B. tips“建议”;C. principles“准则,理念,原则”;D. methods“方法”。下文中的\"my determination to keep 16 \"(一定要坚持)是作者的原则或是座右铭。故选C。

(18)考查动词。句意:无论你的过去是什么,都不要因为现在的你而抱怨它。A. aim“瞄准,打算”;B. blame“责备”;C. repeat“重复”;D. make“制作”。根据上下文可知,对于过去的痛苦经历作者并没有抱怨,而是通过改变自己来成就更好的自己,所以她告诫其他人不要抱怨自
