Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at the school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues like unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country. So what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on child’s character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils’ time is spent in classes study lessons, the ordinary day school can’t give many practical training for their lives in the future. So it is how the pupils do in the spare time that really prepare them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. Unless each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it naturally to work for the good of his country instead only for his own benefit.

答案

小题1:at 后删the
小题2:like 改为 as
小题3:So 改为But
小题4:study改为 studying
小题5:many 改为 much
小题6:how改为what
小题7:prepare改为 prepares
小题8: Unless改为 If
小题9:naturally 改为 natural
小题10:instead 后加of

解析

试题分析：
小题1:at 后删the，在学校用at school
小题2: like 改为 as, such 和as 连用
小题3: So 改为But，前后句是转折关系
小题4:study改为 studying，spend some time doing sth.
小题5:many 改为 much, training 不可数用much 修饰
小题6: how改为what，do 后需要宾语用what
小题7:prepare改为 prepares，prepare的主语是一件事情用单数
小题8:Unless改为 If，句子意思应该是“如果每个人学会为团队工作。。。。”
小题9:naturally 改为 natural, find+it+形容词
小题10:instead 后加of， instead是副词，不能直接接宾语

What is even more important is _小题2: as the earth cooled, water which is fundamental to the 小题3: （develop） of life appeared and stayed on the surface. The continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve 小题4: (harm) gases into the oceans and this produced a chain reaction which made it possible for life to develop.
Many millions of years later, the _小题5: （arrive） of small plants encouraged the development of early shellfish 小题6: all sorts of fish. Then, with the first green plants appearing on land, land animals appeared and dinosaurs developed and existed on the earth for millions of years.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.
What is a big dream ? （1）     Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to.（2）
Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
（3）
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. （4）     In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. （5）
A.Family and Friends
B.How Big Dreams Die
C.Does a big dream show one’s future ?
D.They simply fail until they succeed.
E.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F.Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong
G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
