未分类题One of the misconceptions about elite sport is that great athletes have nothing in common with normal human beings.【C1】______they are seen as supermen who have【C2】______above the flaws and anxieties that【C3】______the lives of others. The superman misconception also【C4】______how we think about teams.【C5】______a team establishes a dynastic supremacy, instead of【C6】______that it is always in a state of constant change, we pretend it has a【C7】______collective personality. We turn the team into a superman. A winning team does not, in【C8】______, require everyone to play well all the time—or even any of the time.

It is nonetheless【C4】______, and worthy of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes【C5】______a crisis is more subtly depicted than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of 'dwellings' has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible,【C6】______that building rates have【C7】______? And doesnt it mean that there isnt really a housing crisis? First, in the 1960s and 1970s, while councils happily knocked【C8】______new estates, they were also busy pulling down lots of old '【C9】______' houses too. Social housing helped people move from broken old crowded houses into【C10】______new flats or houses, typically with much more【C11】______. Meanwhile, new homes were built on green fields. Average household sizes【C12】______dramatically, even as the average house got bigger. Though the housing stock【C13】______by less than the rate of building,【C14】______got a lot more space in which to live. In recent decades,【C15】______, everyone has got a lot less space.

But there is another【C6】______The proportion of Japans population has almost twice as many over-65s as children.【C7】______Japan spends less on education. And because the Japanese are the worlds healthiest, care【C8】______are also lower than in other nations. Japans economy has been growing slowly for two decades now. But【C9】______the falling population, individual income has been【C10】______strongly-outperforming most US citizens. With 127 million people, Japan is【C11】______empty. But fewer people in future will mean it has more living space, more agricultural land per head, and a higher quality of life. Its【C12】______on the planet for food and other【C13】______will also lessen. Japan isnt alone in population【C14】______: Russia, Romania and Hungary all【C15】______the trend. For many more, it is being【C16】______by immigration. But the global population is increasing slowly.
