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 international 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”.

　　5. 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

　　6. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______

　　A. are too eager to win B. are usually shorttempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their rivals as enemies
