Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela Shiffrin's life. Her dad ski raced all through college and her mom raced and coached skiing. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her driveway on plastic skis.
Mikaela loved skiing. From ages 8 to 11, she did hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the skills of slalom skiing (障碍滑雪). When Mikaela was 11, she began to learn at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing. According to Burke Mountain Academy headmaster Kirk Dwyer,“What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment (投入) to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.” At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13 and 14 year olds. And she won!
By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race. “Living away from home four and five months at a time can be difficult,” Mikaela says.“But it can also be exciting. I'm getting to see the world.” When Mikaela began ski racing in Europe, her mother, Eileen, stayed with her. She worked as her high school teacher while they were on the road. “She has always been a super hard worker,” says Eileen.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full time job. Even her off season is work time. “If you want something, just try your best,” she says. At the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18 year old Mikaela Shiffrin became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
4.According to the text, Mikaela ________.
A.learned to ski by herself
B.was born into a skiing family

D.got to know slalom skiing at the age of 14

C.Mikaela was a hard working girl
D.Mikaela was a slow learner
6.Who helped Mikaela with her school lessons when she traveled to Europe
A.Her mother. B.Her father.
C.Kirk Dwyer. D.Taylor Shiffrin.
7.What would be the best title for the text
A.The 2014 Winter Olympic Games
B.The Burke Mountain Academy

D.A young skier's fight for success
C
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At the start they only fight with their fists.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead.
Of course he is not really dead.With any luck he is not even hurt.Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching a fire, are professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen (特技替身演员).That is to say, they perform tricks.
There are two sides to their work.They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.For example, they fall from a high building.However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫).Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft plastic.
But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing (特定时间).For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high.His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.
8.Stuntmen are those who ________.
A.often dress up as actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D.often fight against each other for their lives
9.Stuntmen earn their living by ________.
A.playing their dirty tricks
B.selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows
D.jumping from fast moving trains
10.Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance
A.Strength. B.Exactness.
C.Speed. D.Carefulness.
11.What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman
A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C.Parachutes must be of good quality.
D.The cliff is too high.
D
Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated (表明) that it can lead to burnout (精疲力竭). Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
12.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ________.
A.to make sport less competitive
B.to increase their sense of success
C.to reduce their mental stress
D.to make sport more challenging
13.According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that ________.
A.it can help them learn more about society
B.it enables them to find faults in themselves
C.it can provide them with valuable experiences
D.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
14.According to the passage parents and coaches should ________.
A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport
B.help children to win every game
C.train children to cope with stress
D.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport
15.The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.
A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B.to persuade children not to worry about criticism
C.to stress the importance of positive support to children
D.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

Of course he is not really dead.With any luck he is not even hurt.Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching a fire, are professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen (特技替身演员).That is to say, they perform tricks.

参考范文:
Sports are good for our health. They can make us strong, prevent us from getting goo fat and keep us fit. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day because sports can make them relax.
At the same time, they make our life richer and more colourful. We can enjoy ourselves by watching or taking part in all kinds of sports or matches, such as swimming, skating, ball games and so on.
Sports are also very useful in teenagers' character building. For boys and girls, what is learned on the playground often has a deep influence on their character.
