7、)三、Section B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)High School Sports Aren“t Killing AcademicsA In this month“s Atlantic cover article, “The Case Against High-School Sports,“ Amanda Ripley argues that school-sponsored sports programs should be seriously cut. She writes that, unlike most countries that outperform the Unite
8、d States on international assessments, American schools put too much of an emphasis on athletics. “Sports are embedded in American schools in a way they are not almost anywhere else,“ she writes. “Yet this difference hardly ever comes up in domestic debates about America“s international mediocrity (
9、平庸) in education.“ B American student-athletes reap many benefits from participating in sports, but the costs to the schools could outweigh their benefits, she argues. In particular, Ripley contends that sports crowd out the academic missions of schools: America should learn from South Korea and Fin
10、land and every other country at the top level of international test scores, all of whom emphasize athletics far less in school. “Even in eighth grade, American kids spend more than twice the time Korean kids spend playing sports,“ she writes, citing a 2010 study published in the Journal of Advanced
11、Academics. C It might well be true that sports are far more rooted in American high schools than in other countries. But our reading of international test scores finds no support for the argument against school athletics. Indeed, our own research and that of others lead us to make the opposite case.
12、 School-sponsored sports appear to provide benefits that seem to increase, not detract (减少) from, academic success. D Ripley indulges a popular obsession (痴迷) with international test score comparisons, which show wide and frightening gaps between the United States and other countries. She ignores, h
13、owever, the fact that states vary at least as much in test scores as do developed countries. A 2011 report from Harvard University shows that Massachusetts produces math scores comparable to South Korea and Finland, while Mississippi scores are closer to Trinidad and Tobago. Ripley“s thesis about sp
14、orts falls apart in light of this fact. Schools in Massachusetts provide sports programs while schools in Finland do not. Schools in Mississippi may love football while in Tobago interscholastic sports are nowhere near as prominent. Sports cannot explain these similarities in performance. They can“t
15、 explain international differences either. E If it is true that sports undermine the academic mission of American schools, we would expect to see a negative relationship between the commitment to athletics and academic achievement. However, the University of Arkansas“s Daniel Bowen and Jay Greene ac
16、tually find the opposite. They examine this relationship by analyzing schools“ sports winning percentages as well as student-athletic participation rates compared to graduation rates and standardized test score achievement over a five-year period for all public high schools in Ohio. Controlling for
17、student poverty levels, demographics (人口统计状况), and district financial resources, both measures of a school“s commitment to athletics are significantly and positively related to lower dropout rates as higher test scores. F On-the-field success and high participation in sports is not randomit requires
18、 focus and dedication to athletics. One might think this would lead schools obsessed with winning to deemphasize academics. Bowen and Greene“s results contradict that argument. A likely explanation for this seemingly counterintuitive (与直觉相反的) result is that success in sports programs actually facili
19、tates or reflects greater social capital within a school“s community. G Ripley cites the writings of renowned sociologist James Coleman, whose research in education was groundbreaking. Coleman in his early work held athletics in contempt, arguing that they crowded out schools“ academic missions. Rip
20、ley quotes his 1961 study, The Adolescent Society, where Coleman writes, “Altogether, the trophy (奖品) case would suggest to the innocent visitor that he was entering an athletic club, not an educational institution.“ H However, in later research Coleman would show how the success of schools is highl
21、y dependent on what he termed social capital, “the norms, the social networks, and the relationships between adults and children that are of value for the child“s growing up.“ I According to a 2013 evaluation conducted by the Crime Lab at the University of Chicago, a program called Becoming a ManSpo
22、rts Edition creates lasting improvements in the boys“ study habits and grade point averages. During the first year of the program, students were found to be less likely to transfer schools or be engaged in violent crime. A year after the program, participants were less likely to have had an encounte
23、r with the juvenile justice system. J If school-sponsored sports were completely eliminated tomorrow, many American students would still have opportunities to participate in organized athletics elsewhere, much like they do in countries such as Finland, Germany, and South Korea. The same is not certa
24、in when it comes to students from more disadvantaged backgrounds. In an overview of the research on non-school based after-school programs, researchers find that disadvantaged children participate in these programs at significantly lower rates. They find that low-income students have less access due
25、 to challenges with regard to transportation, non-nominal fees, and off-campus safety. Therefore, reducing or eliminating these opportunities would most likely deprive disadvantaged students of the benefits from athletic participation, not least of which is the opportunity to interact with positive
26、role models outside of regular school hours. K Another unfounded criticism that Ripley makes is bringing up the stereotype that athletic coaches are typically lousy (蹩脚的) classroom teachers. “American principals, unlike the vast majority of principals around the world, make many hiring decisions wit
27、h their sports teams in mind, which does not always end well for students,“ she writes. Educators who seek employment at schools primarily for the purpose of coaching are likely to shirk (推卸) teaching responsibilities, the argument goes. Moreover, even in the cases where the employee is a teacher fi
28、rst and athletic coach second, the additional responsibilities that come with coaching likely come at the expense of time otherwise spent on planning, grading, and communicating with parents and guardians. L The data, however, do not seem to confirm this stereotype. In the most rigorous study on the
29、 classroom results of high school coaches, the University of Arkansas“s Anna Egalite finds that athletic coaches in Florida mostly tend to perform just as well as their non-coaching counterparts, with respect to raising student test scores. We do not doubt that teachers who also coach face serious t
30、radeoffs that likely come at the expense of time they could dedicate to their academic obligations. However, as with sporting events, athletic coaches gain additional opportunities for communicating and serving as mentors (导师) that potentially help students succeed and make up for the costs of coach
31、ing commitments. M If schools allow student-athletes to regularly miss out on instructional time for the sake of traveling to athletic competitions, that“s bad. However, such issues would be better addressed by changing school and state policies with regard to the scheduling of sporting events as op
32、posed to total elimination. If the empirical evidence points to anything, it points towards school-sponsored sports providing assets that are well worth the costs. N Despite negative stereotypes about sports culture and Ripley“s presumption that academics and athletics are at odds with one another,
33、we believe that the greater body of evidence shows that school-sponsored sports programs appear to benefit students. Successes on the playing field can carry over to the classroom and vice versa (反之亦然). More importantly, finding ways to increase school communities“ social capital is imperative to th

39、n School Without Studying, only to be told by the librarian that it belongs to fictions. Apparently, the student is daydreaming about gain without pain, which is anything but realistic. What the cartoon tries to convey is that no shortcut to learning does ever exist. Many examples can well illustrat
40、e this theme. A case in point can be Albert Einstein, though a genius, but for his earnest efforts and diligence in learning, he would not rise above his peer and become a great scientist. Moreover, as the old saying goes, no pain, no gain, and learning is no exception. Seldom can students have exce

Therefore, as college students, we should have a right attitude towards learning, and make earnest efforts in school as there is no shortcut to learning.2.1建立和谐社会成为了一种潮流和趋势 2我心中的和谐社会是
