【正文】 hey can39。t. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to bee actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to bee president. American parents often encourage their children to bee involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children bee mature young adults. As we all know, school work is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What39。s more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to municate effectively. As a rule, Chinese parents don39。t educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so. Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.（1）From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to .

There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach39。s decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little munity that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year39。s holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn39。t back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach39。s decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our munity,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they39。ve learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one39。s action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.（1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A.very good players on the teamB.addicted to alcohol and drugsC.three junior students and two senior studentsD.scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol（2）What did the girls do to support their coach39。s decision?
