Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older
2、 and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, and he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example i
3、s the football World Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention “Argentina“ to someone, and the chances are that hell think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “put Argentina on the map.“Sports f
4、ans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So,
5、 am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! (77) Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skilful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But its nice to know that you won and tha

11、risk of dying for a heavy smoker (between the ages of 35 and 55) is roughly equal to the risk run by a non-smoker 10 years older.Cigarette smoking-and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking-may aggravate(使恶化) or be partly responsible for the development of a wide variety of other diseases, which
12、include cancers of the mouth and throat, peptic ulcers (胃溃疡), and loss of teeth.(78) Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who dont.Take lung cancer for example:Britains lung cancer figures are the highest in the world, and still rising. Ni
13、nety people die every day, 33,000 in 1969. Almost all these deaths can be attributed directly to tobacco smoking. (79)The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are, at present remote, and it is impossible to estimate when, if ever, someone will find one. You would be foolish to rely on someone finding
14、 a cure before you needed it.One man in eight who die between the ages of 35 and 64 is killed by lung cancer. The figures for women in this age group are lower, about 1 in 20. This is partly because women smoke less, and have not smoked as long. But the figures are still very high.（分数：5.00）(1).Accor

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new expla
19、nation. He has proved everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot.“ Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (顶峰). For some people, the peak comes during the fore
20、noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John. Youll be late for work again.“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. (8
21、0) Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better.
