third said they were not thanked enough.

D. yet | | 阅读理解 | After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they attained that success.Most say their
achievement is the result of gruelling hard work and intense practice.Usually athletes say how hard it
is to win the big games.At the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the fact that losing the big
game, or, in my case, all the games, can be even tougher.
From the spectators"point of view, last year"s basketball season for my high school team was
nothing short of an embarrassment.And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season
had a bigger impact on me than any other, and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn"t be the easiest year, but did I ever think we would
lose every game?Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were
a young team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected, though, as our team"s
starting center was suspended for the season, and two key members decided to quit after two weeks.
At some point, quitting probably passed through every player"s mind, but, in the end, we all stuck it
out, vowing to work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us.Personally, I felt like it was
no longer worth giving my all.I thought, if even the coach doesn"t believe in us, why should I?But just
as my hope began to fade, a teammate called a meeting.He said, "Nobody thinks we"re going to win,
and heck, we may not, but, as teammates and friends, we_owe_it_to_each_other_to_give_it_our_all
_every_game."
Sure, it was a little clich? (陈旧的), but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader.It hit
me then that I may have been a captain, but I, like others in my position, certainly didn"t deserve the
role.As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you.It is one thing to be named
captain and feel great and go through the motions, but it is quite another to be a real captain and make
sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards.But in all
honesty, I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better
basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader and person. | | 1. What was the biggest problem with the author"s team last season? | A. Several key members were unable to play the games.

problem is growing."Teenagers really underestimate how much noise they are exposed to" Dr Josef
Shargorodsky said.__①__
The stu dy, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared national
surveys between the early 1990s and the mid2 000s.In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers
had some degree of hearing loss.__②__Most of the hearing loss was in one ear only.While it was
usually slight, one in 20 adolescents had more pronounced (显著的) problems-up 50 percent since
the first survey.
Hearing loss is very common in the elderly, Grimes said, but she added that it was concerning to
see it come into the younger age g roups.In babies and young children, hearing problems are known
to delay language development, which in turn influences performance in other areas.Slight hearing loss,
for instance, makes it difficult to distinguish between highfrequency consonants like "s" and "f"
__③__The science is less clear for adolescents, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing
could influence learning, said Grimes."We know from a lot of data that noisy classrooms are one of the
biggest challenges to learning."
The reasons for the rise are still uncertain.When asked about noise exposure-on the job, from
firearms or recreational activities, for instance-the teenagers didn"t indicate any change.But
Shargorodsky said, "We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise
exposure-they underestimate it."__④__Although it"s not clear that these devices are to blame,
Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the volume.But she pointed out the advice would
likely fall on deaf ears.She said the American Academy of Hearing had also contacted Steve Jobs,
the CEO of Apple, about adding a volume limiter on iPods, but never heard back. | 1. In which place should the sentence "Few people would call it noise when they listen
to music on their MP3 players, for instance." be put? | A. ①

D. Babies and teenagers are also facing problems of hearing loss. | | 3. Which of the following is TRUE? | A. The reasons of the hearing loss are known to the researchers.
