完形填空。
If you're into sports, you've seen it happen-tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard
match; football players exchange jerseys (运动衣) after ninety minutes of knocking each other around; even
boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event, from spelling bees to golf (高尔夫球), act in this way. It's all part of sportsmanship (体育精神), a great tradition in sports and competition. It
means playing and being calm all through the match.
Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years, you might see some players celebrate a goal
(进球) with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it's always hard for people to say in
public that they made a bad play.
Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It's the golden rule of sports. Good sportsmanship means
that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game.
At the school sports meeting, for example, it's more important for you to know how to work as part of a team
and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition-as
in life-you may not always win, but believe me, sportsmanship will help you get through, and there is always
the next match.
