38、s to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK.“If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.Others say that theres no harm in giving

39、 awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City.“A trophy is one way to encourage kids effort

40、s.”Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved player with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson.We are sending the message that winning is everything.“Winning is only part of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK.“Playing sports also teaches kids about team

41、work and the importance of exercise.” There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish.Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl.For now, he thinks theres nothing wrong

46、et,they like games that depend a lot on luck,so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages,in which each stage,the choosing of leaders,the picking-up of sides,or the determining of which side shall start,is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups ca

54、 people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to d

55、ie.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to th

56、e heart and arteries (动脉).Over time, this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may

57、 be harmful.”The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study,“You dont actually

58、 have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldnt actually do too much.”32.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “”. A.hardB.regularC.practicalD.flexible答案:A解析:词义猜测题。此处指像马拉松一样的锻炼,所以strenuous应与hard意思相近,表示“艰苦的,费力的”。regular“定时的”;practical“实用的”;flexible“灵活的”。33.The au
