It will be hot—hot enough that most locals will have cleared town for cooler places. But because athletes competing at the 2004 Olympics have no choice but to stay in the hot weather, many plan to turn to science to stay cool.?
Some will put their hands in ice water just before competing and nearly all will be wearing fabrics(織物) designed with hot weather in mind.?
“Normally we warm up before exercise,”said Gordon Sleivert, director of sports science and medicine at the Canadian Sport Center in Victoria, British Columbia.“But in this case we're taking the warm out of warm up. It's like pre-cooling.”
Experts are predicting(預測) the average high this August in Athens will be 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with temperatures often reaching above 100(the average temperature in Sydney for the 2000 summer games was 64).?
Although some events, such as the marathon, will start early(1 a.m.) to avoid hot weather, other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures.? Drinking lots of water will help athletes keep cool, but humidity(濕度) remains a problem. The body's ability to cool down is weakened by damp air since sweat drips off the skin rather than evaporates(蒸發(fā)),resulting in dehydration(脫水) without the cooling.?
“Getting hot is a real problem because when our brains heats up, the brain waves are more like when you're really sleepy. Everything feels harder,” said Sleivert.
The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. why it is very hot in Athens?
B. the hot weather is a big problem for Olympic athletes?
C. how important science is to every athlete?
D. the Olympics will be put off because of the hot weather?
The underlined sentence “other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures”in the fifth paragraph means _______.?
A. Olympic athletes will put off their competition time?
B. some events in the Olympics will have to be put forward?
C. competitors can't reach their limits in the hot weather?
D. competitors will have to try their best to compete under any condition?
The following things will be likely to happen in the hot weather EXCEPT _______.
A. dehydration?
B. being sleepy?
C. that the blood in the body can become less and less?
D. that the body's ability to cool down is weakened

Identifying young people with the potential to be great athletes has become a serious, business around the world. Many countries, including Australia, have sophisticated(復雜) programs for identifying and nurturing(培養(yǎng)) talent.
The AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) already runs a program that identifies potential winners starting from the age of 12 based on their physical and physiological(生理的) abilities.
Could genetics improve these programs? The problem is that no one gene test is ever going to do an accurate job of identifying someone with the physical attributes of a sporting champion, says Professor North.
"We can think of the elite athlete as what I'd call a complex phenotype(表現型)," she says. “There are going to be a large number of different genes involved. Any one single test is unlikely to be highly predictive.”
Professor Peter Fricker, director of the AIS, agrees. Although he is intrigued in the possibilities of genetic testing, he says using such tests to identify athletes would be difficult. "The feeling I have is that it won't be that easy," he says. "Talent selection is not just about your genes."
Since 2004, the AIS has been forbidden by government from any involvement in genetic work, including genetic testing. But Professor Fricker thinks that is likely to change in the near future. "There's been a shift in view more recently," he says.
When it does, the AIS will resume its work on the genetics of sports performance, Professor Fricker says. They would be particularly interested in looking for more genes that might help shape elite performance, but also for genes that increase the risk of injury.
Last year, the Human Genetics Society of Australasia issued a position statement on gene testing for sport, after concerns that people could use tests to steer children into particular sports.
“The Human Genetics Society thinks there are not enough data to use these tests for determining what sport kids should do,” said Professor David Thorburn, president of the society.
He stressed that genetic tests should not be performed on children, except in very specific medical circumstances.
57.The aim of the AIS’s program is to .
A.predict how genes are connected with injuries
B.find potential great athletes
C.find out what qualities a professor has through gene tests
D.turn an athlete into a champion by transferring genes
58.By saying “Talent selection is not just about your genes”, Fricker means .
A.effort is more important than genes in most cases
B.you can’t choose an athlete just depending on genes
C.to research one’s genes takes a long time
D.most people don’t believe in genetic tests
59.The underlined word “resume” in Para. 7 can be replaced by .
A.stop B.complete C.reduce D.continue.
60.What’s Professor David Thorburn’s attitude towards genetic tests?
A.Genetic tests have a negative effect on children.
B.Genetic tests, under certain conditions, can be conducted on children.
C.Genetic tests can reduce the risk of athletes’ injuries.
D.People could use genetic tests to decide what sport kids should take.

Sport is not only physically challenging,but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches,parents,and other teammates,as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological,and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can,for example,learn how to cooperate with others,make friends,and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware,at all times,that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find flaws(缺陷)in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting,young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement(正面強化)should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again,criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
72.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ____________.
A.to make sports less competitive
B.to make sports more challenging
C.to reduce their mental stress
D.to increase their sense of success
73.According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that____________.
A.it can help them learn more about society
B.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
C.it enables them to find flaws in themselves
D.it can provide them with valuable experience
74.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________.
A.without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence
B.in order to make them remember life lessons
C.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development
D.so as to put more pressure on them
75.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ____________.
A.to persuade athletes not to worry about criticism
B.to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to young athletes
C.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement
D.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
