32、as been D. had been Part II: Reading Comprehension (1) My Wonderful Lousy Poem When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry. Buddy, you didnt really write this beautiful, beautiful poem! Shyly, proud bursting, I stammered（结结巴巴地说）that I di

33、d. My mother poured out her praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius! I glowed. What time will Father be home? I asked, I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished. My mother said she hoped he would become around seven. I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his

34、arrival. First, I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish（花体 字）. Then I used colored crayons（蜡笔）to draw an elaborate border around it. Then I waited. As 7 oclock drew near, I confidently placed it right on my fathers plate on the dining-room table. But my father did not return at seven. Seven-fifte

35、en. Seven-thirty. I could hardly stand the suspense(悬念). I admired my father. He was head of Paramount Studios（派拉蒙电影公司）in Hollywood but he had begun his motion picture career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate this wonderful poem of mine even more than my mother. This evening it was almost

36、8 oclock when my father burst in. He was an hour late for dinner. His mood seemed thunderous. He could not sit down but circled the long dining-room table with a drink in his hand, calling down terrible oaths（诅咒）on his employees. Imagine, we would have finished the picture tonight, my father was sho

37、uting. Instead that moron suddenly gets it into her beautiful empty, little head that she cant play the last scene. So the whole company has to stand there at $ 1,000 a minute while this silly little blank walks off the set! And now I have to beg her to come back! He wheeled（旋转）in his pacing（踱步）, pa

38、used and glared at his plate. There was a suspenseful silence. What is this? He was reaching for my poem. Ben, a wonderful thing has happened, my mother began. Buddy has written his first poem! And its beautiful, absolutely amaz If you dont mind, Id like to decide for myself. Father said. I kept my

39、face lowered to my plate as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of decision. I think its lousy, he said. I couldnt look up. My eyes were getting wet. Ben, sometimes I dont understand you, my

40、mother was saying. This is just a little boy. Youre not in your studio now. These are the first lines of poetry hes ever written. He needs encouragement. I dont know why, my father held his ground. Isnt there enough lousy poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet. I couldnt

41、 stand it another second. I ran from the dining-room up to my room, threw myself on the bed and sobbed. When I had cried the worst of the disappointment out of me, I could hear my parents still quarreling over my first poem at the dinner table. That may have been the end of the anecdote but not of i

42、ts significance for me. A few years later I took a second look at the first poem, and reluctantly I had to agree with my fathers harsh judgment. It was a pretty lousy poem. After a while, I worked up the courage to show him something new, a short story. My father thought it was overwritten but not h

43、opeless. I was learning to rewrite. And my mother was learning that she could criticize me without crushing me. You might say we were all learning. I was going on 12. As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been. I had a mother

44、 who said, Buddy, did you really write this? I think its wonderful! and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with, l think its lousy. A writer in fact every one of us in life needs that mother force, the loving force from which all creation flows; and yet the mother force alone is in

45、complete, even misleading, finally destructive. It needs the balance of the force that cautions,Watch. Listen. Review. Improve. Those conflicting but complementary（互相补充的）voices of my childhood echo down through the years wonderful . lousy . wonderful . lousy like two opposing winds battering（连续猛击）me

An Important Lesson （2）BCDAC Biomechanics the application of engineering principles to the motions of the human body stands at the heart of much of the current work in training athletes. At the U.S. Olympic Committee Biomechanics Lab

56、oratory in Colorado Springs, experts use a computerized “force platform” to measure both the magnitude (大小) and direction of body forces as an athlete runs, lifts and throws. This information can tell an athlete such as a discus(铁饼) thrower whether he performs better when more weight is placed on th

57、e front or back foot. The U.S. Cycling Federation relies on biomechanical analysis to measure the force applied to pedals by cyclists. “We can tell if one leg is using more force than the other and how effective a riders pedaling motion is,” says Edmund Burke of the federation. Marathoner Tony Sandoval benefited from biomechanics in a different way troubled by tendonitis (腱炎) and unable to figure out the cause, he went to specialists who analyzed his running movements and found he was rotating his ankle excessi
