According to the Journal of the American Medical Association,
33、over the past 30 years fractures（骨折） increased by 56 percent in girls and 32 percent in boys, due to overuse of the forearm. This shows that kids who get hurt always continue to play because of fear of their parents or coaches being disappointed or upset.Parents and coaches obviously feel the need t
34、o push their children to do their best. But is that sometimes too much? A coach named Marilyn in Detroit says she recently was at an indoor game where one of her players hit the side board. The players father immediately yelled at him for playing poorly, rather than asking how he was feeling. such s
35、ituations are common. When a child gets pressured from an adult, it can affect his or her confidence.

36、 whats right and wrong. But if all theyre getting is negative feedback, how do they know what theyre doing right? Everyone knows that if you want to get better at something, you have to practice and practice. But recently studies from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that too much
37、training can lead to overuse injuries. In some cases, parents and coaches do in fact acknowledge their kids injuries, but then decide to do nothing about it.

His year-end release Let the Bullets Fly has just broken the box-office record for a domestic（国内的） film with some 700 mil
42、lion yuan ($107 million) in gross receipts. He does not need others to tell him how great he is - not any more. That does not mean he is not proud of Bullets. Its just that Bullets, for him, is fun. He is aware of all the political interpretations of his story that have turned up across the Web and
43、mainstream media. “No, I did not mean to put political meanings into the story,” he says straightforwardly. The Goose Town, the central setting for the movie, has come to symbolize China for some film buffs with a political leaning. Yet, Jiang repeatedly uses the location as an outing to the dark wo

46、ations(表现力). He prefers scripts read to him by someone who can turn the words alive. His storyboards, as drafts for each shot, tend to be rough. But his verbal description of each scene is so vigorous the listener can quickly recreate each frame in his or her minds eye. The only filmmaker whose work Jiang admits as having an impact on him is Martin Scorsese. 51. The passag
