(3) The coach kept reminding the players to support each other.

【分析】首先明确英语失爆的规则：当一个爆破音（/p/、/b/、/t/、/d/、/k/、/g/）后紧跟另一个爆破音、破擦音或摩擦音时，前面的爆破音只形成发音阻碍不实际发音，即失爆。解题时需依据该规则，逐个排查每个句子中符合条件的爆破音位置，在其下方划线即可。
【解析】根据失爆规则，对各句子逐一分析：
(2) football中，爆破音/t/后紧跟爆破音/b/，发生失爆，故在t下划线；
(3) kept中，爆破音/p/后紧跟摩擦音/r/，发生失爆，故在p下划线；
(4) want中，爆破音/t/后紧跟爆破音/t/，发生失爆；project中，爆破音/k/后紧跟爆破音/t/，发生失爆，故分别在t和c下划线；
(5) don't中，爆破音/t/后紧跟摩擦音/k/（care的首音），发生失爆；effort中，爆破音/t/后紧跟摩擦音/k/（count的首音），发生失爆，故分别在两个t下划线；
(6) What中，爆破音/t/后紧跟爆破音/d/（do的首音），发生失爆；about中，爆破音/t/后紧跟爆破音/t/（teamwork的首音），发生失爆，故分别在两个t下划线。
【答案】(2) In football games, teamwork is key to scoring.
(3) The coach kept reminding the players to support each other.
(4) We'd better communicate well if we want to finish this project on time.
(5) Some people don't care about the small tasks, but actually every effort counts.
(6) What do they say about teamwork?
