"Tear'em apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee(裁判)!"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior. in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "adversary"; "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one's intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, "Are they wet enough now？"
In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense？ It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term "opponent" with' "associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate "is "colleague"; "friend"; "companion". Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent."
Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view？
A．Aggressive behavior. in sports can have serious consequences.
B．The words people use can influence their behavior.
C．Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.
D．Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.
M: Oh？ Well, you have two options in this course. You can either take a final examination or you can write a research paper instead.
W: Excuse me, Dr. Anderson. That's the point I need. you to clarify. What kind of research paper did you have in mind？ A study？ A report？ A book review, perhaps？
M: A report. A summary really, based upon current research in the field.
W: How long should the report be7
M: Length is really not important. I should think that it would take at least ten pages in order to develop the topic, however.
W: And should we check the topic with you before we begin writing？
M: You may, if you wish. But the only requirement is that it relate to current trends in United States foreign policy. Are you considering writing a paper, Jane？

Slang(俚语) is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define(下定义). Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition, it is also hard to distinguish (区别)it from such similar things as colloquialism (口语) , provincialism (方言) , jargon (行话) or trade talk (行业话).
Usually, slang tends to be transient (短暂的). Thus their children often laugh at parents when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course, the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (晦涩的) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding.
It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is "accepted by the dictionary". This is not really the ease. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives (派生) its respectable synonym (同义词)out of use, or when it gets a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise.
Such things have happened. The term "hot dog" was once a slang term, but it couldn't be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order "a sausage sandwich". Similarly "vanity", originally a slang contraction (缩写) of university, has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz, when it means a particular kind of music, is scarcely a slang form, since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music.
What can readers know about slang from this article？
A．Nobody has defined and recognized slang, although they are used by a generation after another generation.
B．Slang tends to be transient though they have found their way in dictionaries.
C．Having difficulty in defining slang and telling slang from similar things, people still use slang frequently.
D．Slang can be totally beyond the understanding of the old.
