the people that the sun would shine, the crops would grow and the empire would peoper only if the
gods were appeased by human sacrifices and blood offerings from all levels of their society. The
priests practiced forms of self – mutilation, such as piercing their tongues with thorns and
flagellating themselves with thorn branches. They collected the small amount of blood produced by
these practices and offered it to Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl, their chief gods. They insisted that
all Aztecs needed to make some sort of daily sacrifice. Warriors were promised a place of honor in
the afterlife if they died courageously in battle.
The Aztecs were constantly at war in order to have enough captives from battle to serve as
sacrificial victims. The prisoners were indoctrinated before their deaths into believing that they, too,
would find a place of honor in the afterlife and that their death insured the prosperity of the great
Aztec nation. After being heavily sedated with marijuana or a similar drug, they were led up the step

hearts were removed from their bodies as an offering to the gods.

A. They were cruel and inhuman C. They wanted to deter crime
B. They believed they had to pacify the gods D. They wanted to force the citizens to obey

dealing with success and failure. Professional athletes demonstrate the importance of working hard to achieve a
goal, or practicing (7-regular)_____________ to become good at something. This is a good example for
children to follow.
However, professional athletes are not always good role models. For one thing, when young athletes reach
a level of fame, it comes with media attention, large (8-finance)__________benefits and social attention. This
can lead children to believe that money and fame are an important part of sports. Children might focus more on
these aspects than on the fun of the game or on the challenge of learning how to play (9-
good)______________. Then there are those athletes who behave badly. For example, some cheat to win their
games or take drugs to improve their performance. This kind of behavior sends the wrong message to children.
Athletes are people who are held at a lofty place in the society owing to their popularity and wealth. These
attributes are what makes people want to look up to them and model various facets of their lives along those of
the athletes. We can thus be led to conclude that (10-profession)__________ athletes can be very good role
models for children, as long as they focus on the positive aspects of playing sports.
