English is the mst widely used language in the histry f ur planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. Mre than half f the wrld’s bks and three quarters f internatinal mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vcabulary — perhaps as many as tw millin wrds.
Hwever, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is n egg in an eggplant, neither pine nr apple in a pineapple and n ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English fr granted. But when we explre its paradxes(矛盾), we find that quicksand can wrk slwly, bxing rings are square, public bathrms have n baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dn’t fing, grcers dn’t grce, and hammers dn’t ham? If the plural f tth is teeth, shuldn’t the plural f bth be beeth? One gse, tw geese — s ne mse, tw meese?
Hw can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are ppsites? Hw can verlk and versee be ppsites, while quite a lt and quite a few are alike? Hw can the weather be ht as hell ne day and cld as hell the next?
English was invented by peple, nt cmputers, and it shws the creativity f human beings. That’s why, when stars are ut, they can be seen; but when the lights are ut, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?

A recent study cnducted by the Natinal Cllegiate Athletic Assciatin (NCAA) shwed that while sprtsmanship amng players has imprved ver the years, sprtsmanship in the fans and parents has reduced. It has always interested me why peple in the stands ften feel they have invested mre than the actual participants. Is it the time and mney invested int private lessns and travel teams? Is it the cllege schlarship we need ur children t earn? Is it the fear f seeing ur kids fail? In any event, we, as parents and fans, shuld all take a step back and determine if we are helping ur kids, r undermining the experience.

Instead f being upset with what my kid is nt ding well, r hw an fficial has “cheated” ur team, I shuld fcus n helping my kid learn t respect the ther team. I shuld watch my language and the negative cmments that culd cme frm my muth. I shuld respect the fficials and nt argue every call that is made. Perhaps mst imprtantly, I shuld supprt my kids’ team, win r lse.
Life is tugh, and life is nt fair. Like life, sprts are tugh and nt always fair. Yet sprts can be a wnderful training grund fr life’s challenges. Just like we win sme and lse sme in sprts, we als deal with plenty f successes, challenges and failures in ur lives.

A recent study cnducted by the Natinal Cllegiate Athletic Assciatin (NCAA) shwed that while sprtsmanship amng players has imprved ver the years, sprtsmanship in the fans and parents has reduced. It has always interested me why peple in the stands ften feel they have invested mre than the actual participants. Is it the time and mney invested int private lessns and travel teams? Is it the cllege schlarship we need ur children t earn? Is it the fear f seeing ur kids fail? In any event, we, as parents and fans, shuld all take a step back and determine if we are helping ur kids, r undermining the experience.

Perhaps mst imprtantly, I shuld supprt my kids’ team, win r lse.
Life is tugh, and life is nt fair. Like life, sprts are tugh and nt always fair. Yet sprts can be a wnderful training grund fr life’s challenges.
