A researcher was appointed（任命）to study the performance of some top refer
28、ees.The researcher organized an experimental match involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the match. Changed to a standard mat
29、ch of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze（分析）the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they wer
30、e, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the best is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be a best speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average spee
31、d for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rush to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He als
32、o says that FIFAS insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical（挑剔）.56The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to .Areview the decisions of referees at the 2002 World CupBana

No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimport
37、ant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back wit
38、h the complexities(复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal(焦点的) point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe“. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the
39、 early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience. “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.“ It may have been a
40、 sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities h
41、ad centered on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.60.
