Voice Your Opinion: Change is Needed in Youth Sports
Everywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis racquet (网球拍).And these kids are getting younger and younger In some countries, children can compete on basket-ball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. _ (46) And swimming and gymnasticsclasses begin at age four, to prepare children for competition. It&39;s true that a few of these kids will de-velop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams. _ (47) This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.
Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport.Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. _ (48) But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport for fun. Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don&39;t even understand the idea of compe-tition until they are seven years old. _ (49) The third, and biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have fun, be with friends-in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. A researcher&39;s found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. _ (50) Excessive competitiveness took away all the en- joyment.
Need to remember the purpose of youth sports-to give kids a chance to have developing strong, healthy bodies.

回答题Part B
Directions:
Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions responding to an article on the issue of social networking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your AN-SWER SHEET.
Laura:
I think that I have to agree with you. The idea to surround yourself with good and successful people stil rings true. The electronic age may aid contact and communication. However, it does not substitute for looking someone in the eye. One has to have that person-to-person feel to instinc- tively grasp inner character. I" m sure that a combination of the two types of interaction will lend flavor to the future.
Mike:
I naturally tend to prefer face-to-face relationship building. However, having friends and busi- ness acquaintances all over the world, I find that tools such as Linkedln are quite useful. Both enable me to maintain old connections and make new connections with people I find I have something in common with. Learning how to use these vehicles is the key. I think we are presently in the process of doing just that.
Nick:
Just like what you have already mentioned, there is obviously a big difference between how people meet and interact on the net and in real worlD.What the network world offers is a more re- laxed, fun, expressive place to be. I like social networking particularly because it offers me a chance to make a lot of friends. That social networking sites do not build long-lasting relationships is just a misconception.
Linda:
It is all about a combination of various networking sites, and, if you want to do business, just a few e-mall exchanges. That" s how I get to know my clients. Face-to-face networking is not al- ways possible for me. I have clients around the globe, 99% of whom I" ve never met in person. People who oppose social-networking sites don" t understand the real changes that have taken place in the last decade.
Helen:
Sure enough, social networks are used to reconnect with friends. But they are also a tool for getting your business recognizeD.They are great places to place ads or comments about your busi-ness, because they are open to the public to view. It can be used as a way to network with would-be consumers. It is a perfect way to promote your business to the widest range of people globally.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
