8、game of the season. Sure, youre not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (奖杯)?If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. Shes a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesnt have to be t

9、he best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a t

10、rophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.Others say that theres no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how t

11、hey played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.”Barish argues that when we single out only the best o

12、r even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be p

13、lenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks theres nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners

17、e next Mozart, a new study suggests. Researchers compared pairs of identical twins, and found that no matter how hard one twin had practised, the other twin who had practiced much less still had an equal level of ability in certain musical skills. This may be because some aspects of musical talent a

18、re built into the genes (基因), the researchers said. Miriam Mosey, a scientist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and her team looked at the DNA of 1, 211 pairs of adult identical twins, who share almost 100 percent of their genes. Identical twins are born from the same single egg and often look v

19、ery similar in appearance. They also examined the DNA of 1,358 pairs of fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎), who share an average of 50 percent of their genes. Those who played a musical instrument or sang reported how many years they practiced, and for how many hours a week.Mosey then tested their musical abil

20、ities to see if practice had an effect on ability. She looked at how well people could tell differences in pitch (音调).Like most people, Mosey used to think that those who put in more practice time would earn higher scores on their ability than those who practiced less. But when she compared lifetime

21、 practice scores with musical abilities between identical twins, Mosey found no relationship between the amount of practice time and her level of musical ability. Two twins could have an equal level of musical ability, no matter how much more one twin practiced compared with the other. The researche

22、rs concluded that genetics play a larger role than practice in certain aspects of musical talent.Mosey and her colleagues made another interesting finding: Genes may determine a persons motivation (动机) to practice. The majority of participants who reported practicing a lot also shared a high percent

23、age of the same genes.8What do you know about identical twins?AThey often look different.BThey are usually very alike.CThey share same interests.DThey share 100 percent of their genes.9Which will Mosey and her colleagues agree with?AThose who practice more will have higher musical ability.BFraternal

24、 twins have more musical talent than identical twins.CThose who practice more are likely to have similar genes.DTwins may obtain similar musical ability if they practice enough.10You may find this passage in a(n)_.Aeducation magazineBscientific magazineCsocial reportDmedical report二、七选五Youve got mai

28、is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other.
