Comprehension Passage # 4 ( Sportsmanship)

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

 

Sportsmanship means working in tandem to achieve a common goal. It also means team spirit, which teaches us the qualities  of punctuality, discipline, cooperation and obedience. Sportsmanship is to see how the goal can be achieved and not who has achieved it. Sportsmanship demands discipline. Sportsmen should not use unfair means to win a game. Sportsmanship  demands that they should not question their captain in any circumstance, for he knows what is best for the team. Games should not be played only for victory but also for simple pleasure. A sportsman should not feel depressed in defeat and lose his head over victory because it is an effort of the whole team; not only one person. People who lack sportsmanship are intolerant, narrow-minded, selfish and cannot have consideration for others as they are jealous of them. Therefore, to achieve a goal in life, one should have the spirit of a sportsman.
