Question

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel it very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development—and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training

試題分析：
1..B 推理題。根據(jù)本句For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place.說(shuō)明這些孩子要把訓(xùn)練放在第一位，那么娛樂(lè)就要退而求其次了。故B正確。
2..A 推理題。根據(jù)文章三段內(nèi)容第一段說(shuō)明孩子的訓(xùn)練很辛苦，第二段說(shuō)明訓(xùn)練資金的問(wèn)題，第三段說(shuō)明多年的訓(xùn)練以后也有可能會(huì)失敗，故父母對(duì)孩子參加體育訓(xùn)練的未來(lái)很不確定。故A正確。
3.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)2行It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.說(shuō)明很少有人能到達(dá)優(yōu)秀的運(yùn)動(dòng)員的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。故C說(shuō)法錯(cuò)誤。
