重点句子分析
1. They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others.
who引导定语从句，修饰先行词athletes, who在定语从句中作主语。
2. One of the best players had been injured, and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems.
had been injured 是过去完成时态。过去完成时指先于过去某动作发生前完成的动作，即“过去的过去”，用“had+过去分词”表示。在这里，had been injured 与后半句the team captain had to leave...形成参照，指这名优秀队员受伤在前，队长因心脏问题离队在后。

重点句子分析
3. Losing two important players was big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart.
单个的动名词短语作主语，句子谓语动词用单词形式。
4. The Boys and Girls club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.
which he started in Chicago 是which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the Boys and Girls Club, which在定语从句中作宾语；
“since+过去时间”作时间状语时，句子通常用现在完成时，有时根据语境也可以用现在完成进行时，如本句中的has been helping. 现在完成时是过去发生的动作或状态持续到现在并且已经完成，强调对现在造成的影响。现在完成进行时则强调动作从过去某一时间开始，一直持续到现在，或者刚刚终止，或者可能仍然要继续下去。
