　　Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging．Criticism from coachers, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes．Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout．Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable．

　　The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself．The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place．Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skill that will be used throughout their lives．Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children．Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves．

　　Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children．The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons．In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport．Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances．Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome．Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism．Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout．

(1)

An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ________．
[　　]
A．	to make sports less competitive
B．	to increase their sense of success
C．	to reduce their mental stress
D．	to make sports more challenging

[　　]
A．	it can help them learn more about society
B．	it enables them to find faults in themselves
C．	it can provide them with valuable experiences
D．	it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

(3)

Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________．
[　　]
A．	believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development
B．	without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence
C．	in order to make them remember life’s lessons
D．	so as to put more pressure on them

(4)

[　　]
A．	pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

　　Ben

　　When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

　　Evn

　　I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

　　Ted

　　I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

　　Joan

　　I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂热)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

　　Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if country play games together they will learn to live together．Others say that the opposite is true：that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred．There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the view that sport encourages international brotherhood．Not only was there the terrible incident with the number of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests．

　　One country received its second-place medal with great anger after the hockey(曲棍球)final．There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser objecting to the final decision．They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side’s victory was unfair．Their manager was angry when he said, “This wasn’t hockey．Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished．” The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years．

　　The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest．The game had ended in quarrel．It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play．A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another beat it into the basket．It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match．The judges discusses the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand．The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals．

　　Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honor or money rather than for the love of the game．The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individual(个人)，or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism．

(1)

According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________．
[　　]
A．	brought about good will between the nations
B．	made only false national pride
C．	hardly showed any international friendship
D．	led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

[　　]
A．	His team would no longer take part in international games
B．	Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decision
C．	There should be no more hockey matches organized by the society
D．	The society should be dismissed

(3)

[　　]
A．	how false national pride leads to undesirable incidents in international games
B．	that sportsmen have been more troublesome than they used to be
C．	that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship
D．	that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games

(4)
