We're Looking for You!
Nationwide, we now have more than 3,700 coaches signing with The First Tee as well as volunteers. But you don't have to be a golf professional or even a good golfer. With The First Tee Coach Program, we provide the training you need.
Developed with input(投入) from leading experts in the field of positive youth development, our program focuses on making participants stronger and more confident through exploring options and decision-making, inspiring the golfers of tomorrow to look to the future, set goals, and unlock their potential.
We also need more volunteers to make The First Tee possible. Opportunities include:
Assistant Coach: assist in our weekly golf clinics. All that we request is that you make a 7-week commitment (one day per week), for 2 hours each week. Each clinic is led by the one of our trained staff members who creates a written lesson plan for our volunteers to follow.
Database Manager: input the data of participants, volunteers, and community relation records and update chapter information for Home Office and community relations. The database manager is expected to update the data a minimum of every other week.
Equipment Manager: organize and sort donated equipment, get rid of unfit equipment, and arrange equipment for distribution(分配) to participants at least once a week.
Greeter: register participants, hand information to parents, greet visitors, answer phone calls and provide general program information.

When "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: "Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!"
The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture(动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
Yet "Apes" is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including "Water for Elephants," "The Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.
In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
4.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard
A.To see famous film stars. B.To oppose wearing fur coats.
C.To raise money for animal protection. D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.
5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The cost of making "Apes." B.The creation of digitalized apes.
C.The publicity about "Apes." D.The performance of real apes.
6.What does the underlined phrase "keeping tabs on" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Listing completely. B.Directing professionally.
C.Promoting successfully. D.Watching carefully.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors
A.They may be badly treated. B.They should take further training.
C.They could be traded illegally. D.They would lose popularity.
C
Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal inspires people to work hard.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support people receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel that way, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that will keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. Surround yourself with people who encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.

Mary waited her turn anxiously in the empty dressing room. Never had she been so nervous before. This dancing competition was of importance to her. "If I can win today," she said to herself, "I can dance on the national stage next month."
Three months ago, her left arm was seriously injured in a car accident. After the medical treatment, she began to recover slowly. She practiced over and over again in order to get back her dancing skills.
"Hi, Mary," her friend Jessica rushed in the room. "How is your arm Is it going to influence your performance "
"I guess it can be tolerated(忍受), for I am to win the match," said Mary with a firm look.
"Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong. She can be your real well-matched e on!"
After Jessica left, Mary decided to practice her most difficult spin(旋转). "If I don't try harder, I won't grasp this chance," she thought. But her arm began to hurt, making her worried. "Mary, what makes you think you have a chance tonight " she said to herself. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up.
A slim girl hurried in and put down a bag on the chair. Then, she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary, she smiled politely and said, "Hi, I'm Linda. I am the next one!" Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable. "This is just my competitor. Because of her, I may lose tonight." Her mind was wandering when Linda let out a scream, "Oh, I can't find my music tape(磁带)!" Linda searched her bag but in vain. "It may be missing on the way." With these words, Linda then rushed out.

4.答案：D

5.答案：B

9.答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据后文“that will keep your workout on track”可推知,如果你厌倦了在健身房里浪费时间和变得无聊,参加一个令人愉快的团体健身班可以让你的锻炼保持在正轨上。故画线单词意思为“令人愉快的,快乐的”。故选C。

15.答案：C
解析：标题归纳题。全文以选拔赛为线索展开故事,第一次落选是由于埃莉喜欢炫耀。她听了教练的忠告后,在训练中学会了帮助别人,逐渐有了团队意识,在第二年的选拔赛中获胜。因此文章的标题是Gymnastics tryouts(体操选拔赛)。故选C。
第二节
答案：①-⑤CDBGF

第三节
答案：
My Favorite Sport
When it comes to my favorite sport, what I'd like to say is that I like swimming best.
I was often taken to a pool to practice swimming by my mother when I was young. Whenever I saw my mother dive into the swimming pool, I couldn't help following her bravely. Gradually, I became interested in swimming. Swimming serves as a good way to relax myself. What's more, I become stronger and stronger because of the frequent swimming.
I find so much fun from swimming and it greatly enriches my life.
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. Mary opened the box and found that it was just the music tape Linda was looking for. "What if I hide the tape It is likely that she will have to give up the competition and I will have a better chance to win." Once the idea struck her, she felt ashamed of herself. She rushed out to look for Linda, but Linda was nowhere to be found. Mary came back to the dressing room and waited in the room.
Paragraph 2:
But until it was Mary’s turn to get on the stage, Mary still didn't find Linda. Mary walked on the stage with her heart beating faster and faster. But what troubled her more was Linda's absence. Once she finished dancing, she rushed back to the dressing room, seeing that Linda was sitting there, so Mary told Linda that she found her tape under the chair and encouraged her to go to the stage. It was Mary's kindness and honesty that moved Linda, and they have been good friends ever since.
