阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为31-40的相应位置上。
Sports should help a man to learn fairness， not only in games but also in and for life. If two teams play 31 game， one team must lose. If a dozen teams attend an athletic competition， 32 team will get the most points and all the 33 eleven teams will get 34 points. If a school team comes out last， that is no loss of face. 35 that team and that school must do is admit that it 36 (lose)。 The only intelligent reaction 37 defeat must be： next year we will do our best to come out on top， because from now on our team will devote 38 to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.
Lessons 39 (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more 40 (value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school： in speech， dramatic and musical contests， in “house” activities， and， especially， in the student council.
