Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety
11、or stress for young athletes (运动员). 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 lear
12、ning 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 skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that th
13、eir feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game sho
14、uld not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays 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
15、with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement 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.26.

17、out societyB) it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC) it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD) it can provide them with valuable experiences（D）28. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _.A) without realizing criticism may destroy their self
18、confidenceB) in order to make them remember lifes lessonsC) believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD) so as to put more pressure on them（A）29. According to the passage parents and coaches should _.A) help children to win every gameB) pay more attention to letting children
19、enjoy sportsC) enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD) train children to cope with stress（B）30.

20、ss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementD) to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout（B） BAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one po
21、int the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years oldreplied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember
22、, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
23、Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists, Why?Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social rote to another usually i
24、nvolves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of
25、American homes. It is called television, Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communica
26、tion through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.31

But raising kids
32、takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-li
