考生们不难发现，空格中的单词填写难度参差不齐：有最简单只填一个单词的第6格，也有长达七个单词的第16格，总体还是中规中矩地落在四至六个单词的范围里。最有难度的无非是第11格的flare-ups，但考生即便不认识，也可以根据读音判断拼法。第14格要注意词性，workout作为一个名词出现，应当连在一起。
附原文：
You probably know that asthma can cause breathing problems. So can kids with asthma play sports? You bet they can! Being active and playing sports is an especially good idea if you have asthma. Why? Because it can help your lungs get stronger, so they work better.
Some athletes with asthma have done more than develop stronger lungs. They’ve played professional football and basketball, and they’ve even won medals at the Olympic Games! Some sports are less likely to bother a person’s asthma. Golf and yoga are less likely to trigger flare-ups, and so are sports like baseball, football, and gymnastics.
In some sports, you need to keep going for a long time. These activities may be harder for people with asthma. They include cycling, long-distance running, soccer, basketball, cross-country skiing, and ice hockey. But that doesn’t mean you can’t play these sports if you really like them. In fact, many athletes with asthma have found that with the right training and medicine, they can do any sport they choose.
But before playing sports, it’s important that your asthma is under control. That means you aren’t having lots of symptoms or flare-ups. To make this happen, it’s very important that you take all asthma medicine just as your doctor tells you to, even when you are feeling OK.
Your doctor will also tell you some other things you can do to avoid flare-ups. This may mean skipping outdoor workouts when there is lots of pollen in the air, wearing a scarf or ski mask when you play outside during the winter, or making sure you always have time for a careful warm up and cool down.
Make sure your coach and teammates know about your asthma. That way, they will understand if you need to stop working out because of breathing trouble. It’s also helpful if your coach knows which steps to take if you have a flare-up. Listen to your body and follow the instructions your doctor gave you for handling breathing problems. And if you keep your asthma in good control, you’ll be in the game and not on the sidelines!
