A.honour B.chooseC.value D.stress答案:B解析:词义揣测题。依据第六段可知,Barish认为,当我们选择出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他们奖杯时,给孩子传递了一个错误信号:获胜就是一切。CChildrenhavetheirownrulesinplayinggames.Theyseldomneedareferee(裁判)andseldomtroubletokeepscores.Theydon’tcaremuchaboutwhowinsorloses,anditdoesn’tseemtoworrythemifthegameisnotfinished.Yet,theylikegamesthatdependalotonluck,sothattheirpersonalabilitiescannotbedirectlycompared.Theyalsoenjoygamesthatmoveinstages,inwhicheachstage,thechoosingofleaders,thepicking-upofsides,orthedeterminingofwhichsideshallstart,isalmostagameinitself.Grown-upscanhardlyfindchildren’sgamesexciting,andtheyoftenfeelpuzzledatwhytheirkidsplaysuchsimplegamesagainandagain.However,itisfoundthatachildplaysgamesforveryimportantreasons.Hecanbeagoodplayerwithouthavingtothinkwhetherheisapopularperson,andhecanfindhimselfbeingausefulpartnertosomeoneofwhomheisordinarilyafraid.Hebecomesaleaderwhenitcomestohisturn.Hecanbeconfident,too,inparticulargames,thatitishisplacetogiveorders,topretendtobedead,tothrowaballactuallyatsomeone,ortokisssomeonehehascaught.Itappearstousthatwhenchildrenplayagametheyimagineasituationundertheircontrol.Everyoneknowstherules,andmoreimportantly,everyoneplaysaccordingtotherules.Thoserulesmaybechildish,buttheymakesurethateverychildhasachancetowin.28.WhatisTRUEaboutchildrenwhentheyplaygames?A.Theycanstopplayinganytimetheylike.B.Theycantesttheirpersonalabilities.C.Theywanttopickabetterteam.D.Theydon’tneedrules.答案:A解析:由第一段中的“Theydon’tcaremuchaboutwhowinsorloses,anditdoesn’tseemtoworrythemifthegameisnotfinished.”可知,孩子们对嬉戏的结果以及是否结束并不在意,说明孩子们玩的嬉戏随时都可中止。29.Tobecomealeaderinagamethechildhasto.
