Section C 26 Sport is not only physically challenging
16、, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an【 B1】 _ amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be【 B2】 _, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.
17、Burnout has【 B3】 _ 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【 B4】 _ can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to work together with others,

Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their【 B5】 _ to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a【 B6】 _ in themselve
19、s. Coaches and parents should also be careful that youth sport【 B7】 _ 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 todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who wi

27、Cabin Fevers And Other Aches on a Plane? AOn the first leg of this seasons holiday travel tour, I had the delightful experience of watching my 20-month-old touch nearly every surface on our airplane, from numerous armrests and people we passed in the aisle to our fingerprint-stained window. As a som
28、ewhat uncontrollable germaphobe(洁癖 ), it took everything I had not to dip my son in hand sanitizer(消毒剂 )and then physically restrain him. But I was flying alone with two children and he was happy eating those snacks off the floor, and so, for the sake of my fellow passengers, I let him handle pretty
29、 much anything he wanted. Hence, I wasnt surprised when his nose started running shortly after we arrived at our destination, followed by the inevitable cough, which his older brother also picked up. Our “vacation“ ended at a CVS Minute Clinic, with ear infections for both kids. BComing down with a
30、cold, cough or other illness after air travel is a common refrain, even from adults who dont try to lick the seatback tray table. But is the plane really to blame? Not particularly, says aviation medicine specialist Mark Gendreau, vice chair of emergency medicine at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, M
31、ass. “You do have a higher risk of contracting a viral infection while traveling, but you have to remember that its really the door-to-door experience thats exposing you to germs: the crowds on the subway to the airport, the escalator, the security line, getting on and off the aircraft,“ he explains
32、. “Its almost impossible to say where, exactly, you get sick.“ CIn fact, experts point out that the environment of a plane is probably less risky, health-wise, than many other crowded, confined spaces. Given airliners improved ventilation systems, germs arent being constantly circulated through the
33、plane, stresses Gendreau. Instead, he says, you are most likely to pick up a bug from close contact with a sick person or by touching a surface thats been coughed or sneezed on or otherwise contaminated, such as an armrest or an overhead bin lock. DStudies have shown that the highest risk of germ tr
34、ansmission on a plane, by far, comes from those around you, particularly those seated within two rows, says Michael Zimring, director of the Center for Healthy Travel at the Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. “The closer the proximity and the longer the time youre confined with someone in a closed c
35、ompartmentand usually its at least a couple of hoursthe better the chance of catching a cold,“ he says. EResearch published last May in the journal BMJ studied a packed, long-haul 747 flight from Los Angeles to New Zealand that had at least nine passengers who were later confirmed to have swine flu.
36、 Researchers found that the three additional travelers who appeared to have contracted the virus on the flight were all sitting within two rows of an infected person; that put the chance of transmission at 3.5 percent within two rows and roughly 1.9 percent for anyone in the same section of the plan
37、e. F“Theres no doubt that planes are pretty germy,“ says Charles Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona who studies how diseases are transmitted in indoor environments. “There is no requirement or regulation for the cleaning and disinfection of airplanesits up to individual
38、airlinesand it just doesnt get done regularly,“ he said. The dirtiest spot on board? By far, the re-strooms, according to Gerba, who says that in the course of his research, he has identified E. coli bacteria on almost every toilet surface, with the worst offenders being sink handles and faucets, so
39、ap dispensers and door handles. GOf course, just because such germs are there doesnt mean theyre a problem. “There is definitely an unpleasant factor, but its one thing to say theres a virus or bacteria on a surface, and another thing for that to make you sick,“ says Katherine Andrus, assistant gene
40、ral counsel for the Air Transport Association, a trade group representing major U.S. airlines. “Most of us, if were relatively healthy and have good immune systems, dont have to worry that much about all of the surfaces in the world that may be contaminated.“ She adds that frequent, proper hand wash
41、ing goes a long way toward preventing illness in any crowded environment. HThere are several other steps you can take. Zimring, author of “Healthy Travel: Dont Travel Without It,“ says its important get enough sleep, eat healthfully, exercise and get a flu shot to build up immunity before traveling.
42、 Gendreau suggests the following to stay healthy while flying: IDrink up. Proper hydration(水合作用 )is critical to optimal immune function. Given that the relative humidity in a passenger cabin can be as low as 10 percent on long flights, its essential to drink as much water while in the air as possibl
43、e; avoiding alcohol will help, too. Staying well hydrated can also help prevent mild altitude sickness, with symptoms such as headache, lightheadedness and nausea(恶心 ), which people often mistake for a post-flight cold or flu. JPack a hand sanitizer. Soap and water do a great job, but the restrooms
44、sink handle, soap dispenser and doorknobs may be contaminated with germs. So use alcohol-based sanitizer after leaving the re-stroom and throughout the rest of your flight. And think twice before you rub, scratch or otherwise pat your face during a flight; those simple acts can provide ample opportu
45、nity for the transmission of bacteria and viruses. KBe wary about that tray. Air carriers with flight turnover times of less than an hour do not routinely disinfect the trays or other surfaces such as the armrests and windows. So wipe them down with an alcohol-based sanitizer when you first take you
46、r seat. LKeep the air turned on at your seat. When people cough, sneeze or speak, they eject up to 30,000 droplets, which can travel several feet. To minimize the chance of infected droplets landing on you, turn your air vent to medium flow and position it so that the air current is directed just sl
47、ightly in front of your face. That will help direct germs away from your eyes, nose and mouth. MAs for me, I think I will run with my germaphobic tendencies from now on, forbidding floor snacks, using a great amount of sanitizer on both my children and wiping down our immediate surroundings as soon
48、as we board. The travel might not be happierfor me or for my fellow passengersbut if its even slightly more healthful, I think its worth it. 47 It is pointed out that the infection possibility is closely related to the distance and the time spent with others in a closed compartment. 48 An aviation m
49、edicine specialist believes its impossible to identify where a passenger get infected. 49 Because of my fellow passengers, I let my little son deal with anything he desired, even though I usually do not. 50 During flying, drinking enough water is of much significance for immune function to be in its best state. 51 As it is not obligatory for airlines to clean the planes, planes undoubtedly abound wit
