make a difference紧要，有关系

例句：It will make a very big difference.
      这将造成很大的差别。

      It do not make a blind bit of difference.
      这根本没关系。

2.Then athletes say they are more likely to want treatment by someone of their own sex.

“be of+ 表示年龄（ age ）、大小（ size ）、颜色（ color ）、重量（ weight ）、高度（ height ）、价格（ price ）、意见（ opinion ）、形状（ shape ）、种类（ kind ）和方法（ way ）等的名词”，表示“具有……”，说明主语的特征。例如：

　　When I was of your age， I entered the war.

　　当我是你这个年龄的时候，我就去打仗了。

　　These flowers are of different colors.

　　这些花的颜色都不同。

　　注意：在此结构中，如果后面的名词前有不定冠词 a / an ，则这个冠词相当于 the same .例如：

　　The two boys are of an / the same age.

　　这两个男孩同龄。

3.They say the concern is that players might see the training room as not the place even for well-qualified women.

see as把...看做,想象

例句：I see it as a portent of things to come.
      我把它看作是将要到来的事物的前兆。

4.We tried to use the power of cricket coaches in that instance to reach young boys and, once again, to educate them about healthy relationships and to model healthy and respectful behavior toward women and girls.

这句话的主干是We tried to use the power of cricket coaches...to educate表示目的。about后面跟的是教育的内容。
