Chinese Space Statin t Crash back t Earth
There are currently mre than 500,000 pieces f space junk being tracked as they circle Earth. Space junk, r debris, cnsists f bits f metal, __31__ satellites and even a space statin that is n lnger in use, all f it circling the planet. Nw this space statin is abut t fall t Earth.
Tiangng-1 was China's first space statin. It was __32__ in 2011, but the cuntry lst cntact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese fficials cnfirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide __33__ wuld return t Earth.
At the mment, scientists dn't knw exactly where r when the space statin will enter the planet's atmsphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is n need t wrry, thugh. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little __34__ that the space statin will hit a ppulated area.

Gvernments are keen n higher educatin, seeing it as a means t bst scial mbility and ecnmic grwth. Almst all sub-sidise（补贴）tuitin - in America, t the tune f $200 billin a year. But they tend t verestimate the benefits and __41__ the csts f expanding university educatin. As mre yung peple seek degrees, the returns bth t them and t gvernments are __42__.
Spending n universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjy ver nn-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking ges, __44__ an ecnmic bst fr sciety as a whle. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit f calculatin. Part f the usefulness f a degree is that it gives a graduate jb-seeker an advantage __45__ nn-graduates. It is als a signal t emplyers f general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that smene already has in rder t get int a university. Sme prfessins require qualificatins. But a degree is nt always the best __46__ f the skills and knwledge needed fr a jb. With degrees s __47__, emplyers are using them as a way t screen applicants. Nn-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent wrk.
In any case, the premium cunts nly the winners and nt the lsers. Acrss the rich wrld, a third f university students never graduate. It is the weakest students wh are drawn in as higher educatin __49__ and wh are mst likely t drp ut. They pay fees and __50__ earnings t study, but see little imprvement in their future incmes. When drputs are __51__, the expected financial return t starting a degree fr the weakest students shrinks t almst nthing. Many schl-leavers are being __52__ abut the prbable value f university.
Gvernments need t ffer the yung a wider range f ptins after schl. They shuld start by rethinking their wn __53__ practices. Schl-leavers shuld be given a wider variety f ways t gain vcatin skills and t demnstrate their __54__. If schl qualificatins were made mre difficult t get, emplyers wuld be mre likely t trust them as signals f ability, and less __55__ degrees. "Micr-credentials" - shrt, wrk-fcused curses apprved by big emplyers in fast-grwing fields, such as IT - shw prmise.

(A)
I wanted the pleasure f being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was s large it cntained many untld tales and sme hpe and cmedy and sweetness t, I aimed t reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used t call the bush, and t wander arund. There I had lived and wrked, happily, almst frty years ag, in the heart f the greenest cntinent.
In thse ld undramatic days f my schl teaching in the bundu, flks lived their lives n bush paths at the end f unpaved rads f red clay, in villages f grass-rfed huts. They had a new natinal flag, they had just gtten the vte, sme had bikes, many talked abut buying their first pair f shes. They were hpeful, and s was I, a schlteacher living near a settlement f mud-huts amng trees and fields - children shuting at play; and wmen bent duble - mst with infants n their backs - heing（锄地）the crn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.
The Swahili wrd safari means 'jurney', it has nthing t d with animals, smene 'n safari' is just away and unbtainable and ut f tuch. Out f tuch in Africa was where I wanted t be. The wish t disappear sends many travellers away. If yu are thrughly sick f being kept waiting at hme r at wrk, travel is perfect: let ther peple wait fr a change. Travel is a srt f revenge fr having been put n hld, r having t leave messages n answering machines, nt knwing yur party's extensin, being kept waiting all yur wrking life. But als being kept waiting is the human cnditin.
Travel in the African bush can als be a srt f revenge n mbile phnes and email, n telephnes and the daily paper, n the aspects f glbalisatin that allw anyne wh chses t get their hands n yu. I desired t be unbtainable. I was ging t Africa fr the best f reasns - in a spirit f discver - simply t disappear, t light ut, with a suggestin f I dare yu t try t find me.
Hme had becme a rutine, and rutine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable rutine: peple knew when t call me, they knew when I wuld be at my desk. I was in such regular tuch it was like having a jb, a mde f life I hated .. I was sick f being called up and asked fr favrs, hit up fr mney. Yu stick arund t lng and peple begin t impse their wn deadlines n yu.

(B)
The huse style that dminated American husing during the 1880s and 1890s was knwn as Queen Anne, a curius name fr an American style. The name was, in fact, a histrical accident, riginating with fashinable architects in Victrian England wh cined it with apparently n reasn ther than its pleasing sund. The Queen Anne style was lsely based n structures built lng befre 1702, the beginning year f Queen Anne's reign（统治期）.
A distinctive characteristic fund in mst Queen Anne huses is the unusual rf shape (illustrated in the picture n the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central prtin with prtruding lwer frnt and side extensins that end in gables. It is ften pssible t spt these distinctive rf frms frm several blcks away. Anther feature f this style is the detailing, shwn in the wd bard siding cut int fanciful decrative patterns f scallps, curves, diamnds, r triangles. Queen Anne huses are almst always asymmetrical（不对称的）. If yu draw an imaginary line dwn the middle f ne, yu will see hw different the right and left sides are, all the way frm grund level t rf peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparund prch（门廊）that includes the frnt dr area and then extends arund t either the right r left side f the huse.
Queen Anne huses faded frm fashin early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted tward the mre mdern Prairie and Craftsman style huses. Tday, hwever, Queen Anne huses are favrite symbls f the past, painstakingly and lvingly restred by ld-huse buffs and reprduced by builders wh give faithful attentin t the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first ppularized mre than ne hundred years ag.
60. Why des the authr use the wrd "curius" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name f an American style?
A. The style was invented befre Queen Anne's reign.
B. The style was mre ppular in Victrian England.
C. The name was accidentally misspelled.
D. The name did nt riginate in America.
61. Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm paragraph 2 abut the Queen Anne style?
A. It was nt very ppular.
B. It had t be build in the city.
C. It cmbined several ther styles.
D. It was elabrate and fancily decrated.
62. Accrding t passage, why did Queen Anne huses g ut f style?
A. Peple started mving t the suburbs.
B. Peple came t see them as a symbl f the past.
C. Peple were mre interested in newer huse styles.
D. Peple culd n lnger affrd t build such large huses.

What will the develpment f quantum cmputers（量子计算机）mean fr ur civilisatins? Oh sure, better cryptgraphy（密码方式）, "mre pwerful" prcessing, but bttm line, we just dn't knw ... yet.
This phenmenn isn't unique t quantum cmputing, f curse. It's smething we see time and gain with all new wrld-changing technlgy. In sme ways, it's hw we can define a technlgy as wrld-changing: everyne agrees it's ging t be hugely imprtant, but nbdy can predict exactly what impact it will have.
The internet remains the classic example. Althugh invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as smething that is fashinable but unlikely t last. Mst cmmentatrs thught it nthing mre than a curisity.
There's a famus 1999 interview between David Bwie and BBC jurnalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bwie predicts that the internet will change the nature f music, and remve the "barriers between creatr and audience". The lnger he spke, the mre Paxman said in anger that Bwie culd pssibly believe this abut the internet.
T be fair t Paxman, in 1999, internet at hme meant accessing it ver a mdern. Cncepts like WeChat and Netflix and mre simply culd nt wrk ver such limited bandwidth. But there were still sme peple wh assumed that bandwidth wuld increase and that streaming music and vide wuld be pssible sn enugh. They were laughed at.
Oddly enugh, as the dt-cm bm intensified, many turned frm dubters t hpeless ptimists, and lst serius mney building websites t deliver cntent that simply culdn't "fit" dwn the inter-tubes f the day.
Then in the secnd decade f the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Frget shwing a nice little vide in yur brwser, tday Nexflix can serve yu a TV shw in 4K, as lng as yu have 25Mbps cnnectin.
Quantum cmputing isn't a cnsumer technlgy, f curse. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum cmputing is mre like the inventin f the transistr（电子晶体）. Sure, mst peple have heard f it, but few understand it. Actually, we dn't even really understand it. But we're reasnably cmfrtable that when a lab has that many scanning electrn micrscpes, it must be ding smething imprtant, right?
Quantum cmputing is still at the stage f "hit it with a hammer until it wrks". Sure the hammer is micrscpic, and als a laser r magnetic field f sme kind, but the pint is we're ging thrugh the prcess f turning the idea int reality.
Sner than yu think, thugh, qubit-based cmputers are ging t get applied t stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest f us.
This is hw the wrld begins. Nt with a bang, but with a lt f extremely hard wrk behind the scenes.
63. What attitude did mst peple take twards the internet in the 1990s?
A. Optimistic. B. Uncncerned. C. Dubtful. D. Defensive.
64. The example f the internet is intended t illustrate that ________.
A. it is hard t define what is wrld-changing technlgy
B. the internet was universally acknwledged as imprtant
C. the influence f new technlgy is usually unpredictable
D. the internet inspired many debates in the fllwing years
65. By "hit it with a hammer until it wrks", the writer means that quantum cmputing ________.
A. has been questined B. has been fully understd
C. hasn't been heard f befre D. hasn't been applied t practice
66. What can be cncluded abut new technlgy frm the passage?
A. Its develpment is a gradual prcess.
B. Mst is the brainchild f a scientist.
C. Nt all is accessible t the public.
D. Its future is ften a tp secret.

A Digital Revlutin in Healthcare is Cming
The internet already enables patients t seek nline cnsultatins when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, frm prviders t patients and frm dctrs t data. ________67________ Technlgies such as the smartphne allw peple t mnitr their wn health. The pssibilities multiply when yu add the crucial missing ingredients - access t yur wn treatment and als t prvide data t help train medical prgrammes.
________68________ One is better diagnsis. Smene wrried abut their heart can nw buy a watch strap cntaining a medical grade mnitr that will detect arrhythmias（心律失常）. Apps are trying t see if they can diagnse everything frm skin cancer t Parkinsn's disease. Research is under way t see whether sweat can be analysed fr mlecular bimarkers withut the need fr an invasive bld test.
A secnd benefit lies in the management f cmplex diseases. Diabetes（糖尿病）apps can change the way patients cpe, by mnitring bld-glucse levels and fd intake, ptentially reducing lng-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans t seek regulatry apprval fr a vide game designed t stimulate an area f the brain implicated in attentin-deficit hyperactivity disrder.
________69________ Althugh health recrds are increasingly electrnic, many still cntain data that machines cannt read. This can lead t delays in treatment, r wrse. Many f the 250,000 death in America wed t medical errr each year can be traced t prly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid ut its plans t ask rganisatins t let patients use their smartphnes t dwnlad their wn medical recrds.

Change Is Needed In Yuth Sprts
Everywhere yu lk, yu see kids buncing a basketball r waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting yunger and yunger. Children can even cmpete n basketball, baseball, and vlleyball teams starting at age nine. The yuth sccer rganizatin has teams fr children as yung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age fur, t prepare children fr cmpetitin.
It's true that a few f these kids will develp int highly skilled athletes and may even becme members f ur natinal Olympic teams. But what abut the thers - the average kids? This emphasis n cmpetitin in sprts is having serius negative effects.
Children wh get invlved in cmpetitive sprts at a yung age ften grw tired f their sprt. Many parents pressure their kids t chse ne sprt and devte all their time t it. A survey fund that 79 percent f parents f yung athletes wanted their children t cncentrate n ne sprt. But 66 percent f the yung athletes wanted t play mre than ne sprt - fr fun.
Anther prblem is the pressure impsed by ver-cmpetitive parents and caches. Children are nt naturally cmpetitive. In fact, a recent study by Paul David fund that mst children dn't even understand the idea f cmpetitin until they are seven years ld. Very yung kids dn't knw why their parents are pushing them s hard.
The third, the biggest, prblem fr yung athletes is the lack f time t d their hmewrk, have fun, be with friends - in shrt, time t be kids. When they are frced t spend every afternn at sprts practice, they ften start t hate their chsen sprt. Researchers fund that 70 percent f kids wh take part in cmpetitive sprts befre the age f twelve quit befre they turn eighteen. Many f them cmpletely lse interest in sprts. Excessive cmpetitin takes away all the enjyment.

Gvernments are keen n higher educatin, seeing it as a means t bst scial mbility and ecnmic grwth. Almst all sub-sidise（补贴）tuitin - in America, t the tune f $200 billin a year. But they tend t verestimate the benefits and __41__ the csts f expanding university educatin. As mre yung peple seek degrees, the returns bth t them and t gvernments are __42__.
Spending n universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjy ver nn-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking ges, __44__ an ecnmic bst fr sciety as a whle. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit f calculatin. Part f the usefulness f a degree is that it gives a graduate jb-seeker an advantage __45__ nn-graduates. It is als a signal t emplyers f general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that smene already has in rder t get int a university. Sme prfessins require qualificatins. But a degree is nt always the best __46__ f the skills and knwledge needed fr a jb. With degrees s __47__, emplyers are using them as a way t screen applicants. Nn-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent wrk.
In any case, the premium cunts nly the winners and nt the lsers. Acrss the rich wrld, a third f university students never graduate. It is the weakest students wh are drawn in as higher educatin __49__ and wh are mst likely t drp ut. They pay fees and __50__ earnings t study, but see little imprvement in their future incmes. When drputs are __51__, the expected financial return t starting a degree fr the weakest students shrinks t almst nthing. Many schl-leavers are being __52__ abut the prbable value f university.
Gvernments need t ffer the yung a wider range f ptins after schl. They shuld start by rethinking their wn __53__ practices. Schl-leavers shuld be given a wider variety f ways t gain vcatin skills and t demnstrate their __54__. If schl qualificatins were made mre difficult t get, emplyers wuld be mre likely t trust them as signals f ability, and less __55__ degrees. "Micr-credentials" - shrt, wrk-fcused curses apprved by big emplyers in fast-grwing fields, such as IT - shw prmise.

Directins: Read the fllwing tw passage. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
I wanted the pleasure f being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was s large it cntained many untld tales and sme hpe and cmedy and sweetness t, I aimed t reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used t call the bush, and t wander arund. There I had lived and wrked, happily, almst frty years ag, in the heart f the greenest cntinent.
In thse ld undramatic days f my schl teaching in the bundu, flks lived their lives n bush paths at the end f unpaved rads f red clay, in villages f grass-rfed huts. They had a new natinal flag, they had just gtten the vte, sme had bikes, many talked abut buying their first pair f shes. They were hpeful, and s was I, a schlteacher living near a settlement f mud-huts amng trees and fields - children shuting at play; and wmen bent duble - mst with infants n their backs - heing（锄地）the crn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.
The Swahili wrd safari means 'jurney', it has nthing t d with animals, smene 'n safari' is just away and unbtainable and ut f tuch. Out f tuch in Africa was where I wanted t be. The wish t disappear sends many travellers away. If yu are thrughly sick f being kept waiting at hme r at wrk, travel is perfect: let ther peple wait fr a change. Travel is a srt f revenge fr having been put n hld, r having t leave messages n answering machines, nt knwing yur party's extensin, being kept waiting all yur wrking life. But als being kept waiting is the human cnditin.
Travel in the African bush can als be a srt f revenge n mbile phnes and email, n telephnes and the daily paper, n the aspects f glbalisatin that allw anyne wh chses t get their hands n yu. I desired t be unbtainable. I was ging t Africa fr the best f reasns - in a spirit f discver - simply t disappear, t light ut, with a suggestin f I dare yu t try t find me.
Hme had becme a rutine, and rutine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable rutine: peple knew when t call me, they knew when I wuld be at my desk. I was in such regular tuch it was like having a jb, a mde f life I hated .. I was sick f being called up and asked fr favrs, hit up fr mney. Yu stick arund t lng and peple begin t impse their wn deadlines n yu.

The huse style that dminated American husing during the 1880s and 1890s was knwn as Queen Anne, a curius name fr an American style. The name was, in fact, a histrical accident, riginating with fashinable architects in Victrian England wh cined it with apparently n reasn ther than its pleasing sund. The Queen Anne style was lsely based n structures built lng befre 1702, the beginning year f Queen Anne's reign（统治期）.
A distinctive characteristic fund in mst Queen Anne huses is the unusual rf shape (illustrated in the picture n the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central prtin with prtruding lwer frnt and side extensins that end in gables. It is ften pssible t spt these distinctive rf frms frm several blcks away. Anther feature f this style is the detailing, shwn in the wd bard siding cut int fanciful decrative patterns f scallps, curves, diamnds, r triangles. Queen Anne huses are almst always asymmetrical（不对称的）. If yu draw an imaginary line dwn the middle f ne, yu will see hw different the right and left sides are, all the way frm grund level t rf peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparund prch（门廊）that includes the frnt dr area and then extends arund t either the right r left side f the huse.
Queen Anne huses faded frm fashin early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted tward the mre mdern Prairie and Craftsman style huses. Tday, hwever, Queen Anne huses are favrite symbls f the past, painstakingly and lvingly restred by ld-huse buffs and reprduced by builders wh give faithful attentin t the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first ppularized mre than ne hundred years ag.
60. Why des the authr use the wrd "curius" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name f an American style?
A. The style was invented befre Queen Anne's reign.
B. The style was mre ppular in Victrian England.
C. The name was accidentally misspelled.
D. The name did nt riginate in America.
61. Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm paragraph 2 abut the Queen Anne style?
A. It was nt very ppular.
B. It had t be build in the city.
C. It cmbined several ther styles.
D. It was elabrate and fancily decrated.
62. Accrding t passage, why did Queen Anne huses g ut f style?
A. Peple started mving t the suburbs.
B. Peple came t see them as a symbl f the past.
C. Peple were mre interested in newer huse styles.
D. Peple culd n lnger affrd t build such large huses.

What will the develpment f quantum cmputers（量子计算机）mean fr ur civilisatins? Oh sure, better cryptgraphy（密码方式）, "mre pwerful" prcessing, but bttm line, we just dn't knw ... yet.
This phenmenn isn't unique t quantum cmputing, f curse. It's smething we see time and gain with all new wrld-changing technlgy. In sme ways, it's hw we can define a technlgy as wrld-changing: everyne agrees it's ging t be hugely imprtant, but nbdy can predict exactly what impact it will have.
The internet remains the classic example. Althugh invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as smething that is fashinable but unlikely t last. Mst cmmentatrs thught it nthing mre than a curisity.
There's a famus 1999 interview between David Bwie and BBC jurnalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bwie predicts that the internet will change the nature f music, and remve the "barriers between creatr and audience". The lnger he spke, the mre Paxman said in anger that Bwie culd pssibly believe this abut the internet.
T be fair t Paxman, in 1999, internet at hme meant accessing it ver a mdern. Cncepts like WeChat and Netflix and mre simply culd nt wrk ver such limited bandwidth. But there were still sme peple wh assumed that bandwidth wuld increase and that streaming music and vide wuld be pssible sn enugh. They were laughed at.
Oddly enugh, as the dt-cm bm intensified, many turned frm dubters t hpeless ptimists, and lst serius mney building websites t deliver cntent that simply culdn't "fit" dwn the inter-tubes f the day.
Then in the secnd decade f the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Frget shwing a nice little vide in yur brwser, tday Nexflix can serve yu a TV shw in 4K, as lng as yu have 25Mbps cnnectin.
Quantum cmputing isn't a cnsumer technlgy, f curse. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum cmputing is mre like the inventin f the transistr（电子晶体）. Sure, mst peple have heard f it, but few understand it. Actually, we dn't even really understand it. But we're reasnably cmfrtable that when a lab has that many scanning electrn micrscpes, it must be ding smething imprtant, right?
Quantum cmputing is still at the stage f "hit it with a hammer until it wrks". Sure the hammer is micrscpic, and als a laser r magnetic field f sme kind, but the pint is we're ging thrugh the prcess f turning the idea int reality.
Sner than yu think, thugh, qubit-based cmputers are ging t get applied t stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest f us.
This is hw the wrld begins. Nt with a bang, but with a lt f extremely hard wrk behind the scenes.
63. What attitude did mst peple take twards the internet in the 1990s?
A. Optimistic. B. Uncncerned. C. Dubtful. D. Defensive.
64. The example f the internet is intended t illustrate that ________.
A. it is hard t define what is wrld-changing technlgy
B. the internet was universally acknwledged as imprtant
C. the influence f new technlgy is usually unpredictable
D. the internet inspired many debates in the fllwing years
65. By "hit it with a hammer until it wrks", the writer means that quantum cmputing ________.
A. has been questined B. has been fully understd
C. hasn't been heard f befre D. hasn't been applied t practice
66. What can be cncluded abut new technlgy frm the passage?
A. Its develpment is a gradual prcess.
B. Mst is the brainchild f a scientist.
C. Nt all is accessible t the public.
D. Its future is ften a tp secret.

Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A Digital Revlutin in Healthcare is Cming
The internet already enables patients t seek nline cnsultatins when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, frm prviders t patients and frm dctrs t data. ________67________ Technlgies such as the smartphne allw peple t mnitr their wn health. The pssibilities multiply when yu add the crucial missing ingredients - access t yur wn treatment and als t prvide data t help train medical prgrammes.
________68________ One is better diagnsis. Smene wrried abut their heart can nw buy a watch strap cntaining a medical grade mnitr that will detect arrhythmias（心律失常）. Apps are trying t see if they can diagnse everything frm skin cancer t Parkinsn's disease. Research is under way t see whether sweat can be analysed fr mlecular bimarkers withut the need fr an invasive bld test.
A secnd benefit lies in the management f cmplex diseases. Diabetes（糖尿病）apps can change the way patients cpe, by mnitring bld-glucse levels and fd intake, ptentially reducing lng-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans t seek regulatry apprval fr a vide game designed t stimulate an area f the brain implicated in attentin-deficit hyperactivity disrder.
________69________ Althugh health recrds are increasingly electrnic, many still cntain data that machines cannt read. This can lead t delays in treatment, r wrse. Many f the 250,000 death in America wed t medical errr each year can be traced t prly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid ut its plans t ask rganisatins t let patients use their smartphnes t dwnlad their wn medical recrds.
IV. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Change Is Needed In Yuth Sprts
Everywhere yu lk, yu see kids buncing a basketball r waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting yunger and yunger. Children can even cmpete n basketball, baseball, and vlleyball teams starting at age nine. The yuth sccer rganizatin has teams fr children as yung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age fur, t prepare children fr cmpetitin.
It's true that a few f these kids will develp int highly skilled athletes and may even becme members f ur natinal Olympic teams. But what abut the thers - the average kids? This emphasis n cmpetitin in sprts is having serius negative effects.
Children wh get invlved in cmpetitive sprts at a yung age ften grw tired f their sprt. Many parents pressure their kids t chse ne sprt and devte all their time t it. A survey fund that 79 percent f parents f yung athletes wanted their children t cncentrate n ne sprt. But 66 percent f the yung athletes wanted t play mre than ne sprt - fr fun.
Anther prblem is the pressure impsed by ver-cmpetitive parents and caches. Children are nt naturally cmpetitive. In fact, a recent study by Paul David fund that mst children dn't even understand the idea f cmpetitin until they are seven years ld. Very yung kids dn't knw why their parents are pushing them s hard.
The third, the biggest, prblem fr yung athletes is the lack f time t d their hmewrk, have fun, be with friends - in shrt, time t be kids. When they are frced t spend every afternn at sprts practice, they ften start t hate their chsen sprt. Researchers fund that 70 percent f kids wh take part in cmpetitive sprts befre the age f twelve quit befre they turn eighteen. Many f them cmpletely lse interest in sprts. Excessive cmpetitin takes away all the enjyment.
