For years, youth sports pushers tried to get us hooked: organized sports, they said, offered a natural high and would build character in our children.【71】But there are high-functioning cokeheads, too. Like every American, I have close friends whose families struggle with a youth sports addiction. So let's talk about the dark side of the youth sports epidemic.
First off, when they're spending every spare second at soccer practice, children lose that crucial downtime they need for exercising their imaginations, as well as their limbs. And Dr. Lenny Wiersma, co-director of tile Center for the Advancement of Responsible Youth Sport, warns that when kids miss out on "the old sandbox and informal games," they also lose opportunities to develop peer interactions that are "organized and regulated by themselves."
【72】The Michigan study cited above also found a sixfold increase in the time children spent on "passive, spectator leisure," as more and more kids found themselves dragged off to watch their siblings' sports events.
Organized youth sports also cut into relaxed family time.【73】That's not to speak of all the exhausted parents who put their own interests--and relationships--on hold for a decade, devoting every free minute to hauling their kids from game to game. Of course, organized sports isn't the only culprit.【74】
The pressure can leave even high-achieving kids exhausted, demoralized and at risk of "self-destructive behaviors," Harvard's admissions office warns. Harvard now urges that applicants "take some sort of timeout before burnout becomes the hallmark of their generation." Parents: Just say no. Rip up that T-ball signup sheet; throw out the expensive soccer cleats. If you want an activity that develops character and physical skills, encourage the kids to help build houses with Habitat for Humanity.
But the rest of the time, let them do what generations of American children did before them: climb trees, build backyard forts, play hopscotch and endless games of tag.【75】
A. Some children possess genuine athletic talent, and in the youth sports programs they really stands out and become more confident.
B. It's time to give childhood back to our children.
C. Like secondhand smoke, a child's involvement in youth sports can have detrimental side effects on others.
D. And it's true that organized youth sports work out fine for some families.
E. It's just one reflection of the middle-class American insistence on over-scheduling our children, rushing them between soccer practices, piano lessons, French lessons and SAT prep classes.
F. The same study found that families today spend a third less time eating dinners together, and 28% less time taking family vacations.

No two clouds are ever alike. But it is still possible to group clouds and to give them names. We can recognize the different kinds of clouds and watch them for signs of changing weather.
As a rule, the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather is likely to be. To predict the weather, there are three things about clouds you should look for: movement, color, and change.
Clouds can tell you if storm is on the way. For example, small feathery cirrus clouds (卷云) can become thick and move lower. This means rain is on the way. If there is a sudden, cool breeze (微风) thunder (雷声) clouds appears, then a storm is about to break out.
According to the first paragraph, we can say that ______.
A．the weather always remains the same in a day
B．a fine day can't last for long
C．we rarely think about the weather
D．the weather changes a lot

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：M: Lisa, do you think it's good that Miss Rice's been nominated to be chairman of the department?
W: Yes, I do. Rice is so well liked. She really gets along with people well. She really knows how to handle them.
M: That's true. And I do think it's nice that it's a woman that's been nominated. You know women have had trouble for such a long time. But in the long run I think it's important that a man is the head of the English department.
W: Why? And what's so special about a man?
M: Because men are stronger than women.
W: I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think we should look at it as to who is more qualified.
M: But I think men are basically, inherently stronger than women.
W: Don't be so chauvinistic, Garry. Look at Thatcher, for example. She is an exception to the rule.
M: I think that she's just lucky enough to beat the men at their own game.
W: Well, Garry. That's because women aren't so accepted, it may be putting Rice in a difficult situation if she is made department head. And that's why we have to support her, even bring up false arguments.
M: Well, I'm just wondering how her fellow male colleagues in the university are going to react to a woman as the department head.
W: That's a good point, and I think that since we all know she's qualified, so with our support she can do it.
M: OK, I will try.
Which of the following is NOT the reason that Lisa thinks Rice is qualified for the position?
A．She is well liked and has good qualifications.
B．She gets well along with other people.
C．She knows how to deal with and handle people.
D．Women are more likely to be accepted by others.
