Each of us has abilities, whether physical, mental or social. What most of us don’t realize is that teaching these skills to children can help transform their lives. That’s why coaching can have such an enormous impact. For American kids, learning not only a skill but also how to work together is the perfect foundation for their future success.
Maybe you don’t like athletics or haven’t pursued them since grade school, but don’t give up on coaching just yet. Neither coaching nor teamwork is the exclusive province of sports. The stunning resurgence in the popularity of spelling bees demonstrates that competition, dedication, and big goals can be part of all children’s lives. In fact, there are all kinds of coaching experiences available that have nothing to do with muscles and games. From debating to building robots to making music, team-oriented programs for kids are exploding, and they all need people like us to help.
Think about your skills. Are you good at chess? Tennis? Maybe you give a speech like Daniel Webster. Then find out what programs are at your local schools, library, or community center that align with your specialty. And if there isn’t a program, take the next step. For children in areas in which funds are scarce, there aren’t many activities to choose from at schools or community centers. Stand up for those kids and ask yourself what you can do to create a new "team" opportunity.
Remember also that children who are new to a craft or sport don’t need a great master, just some guidance. In other words, you don’t have to be Tiger Woods to teach golf or Annie Leibowitz to teach photography. You just have to be willing to share yourself. Show a child how to play Scrabble, solve crossword puzzles, debate, care for bonsai(盆景), build Lego sculptures, work with papier-mche(纸塑), or figure out Rubik’s Cube. There’s a tournament out there for just about every skill; why not give a child the thrill of being recognized for a new talent? And yes, coaching baseball, football, basketball, soccer, or any other traditional sport is always an amazing way to give.
We can’t emphasize it enough: Our society’s obsession with popular culture and video games is often in direct conflict with the values of hard work and collaboration, and ongoing improvement that we so want our children to have. Absent a counterbalance(平衡物), these cultural forces teach kids to become passive spectators in life. Help children learn that they can achieve anything they set their minds on, and not watch life go by from the lonely isolation of a sofa.
What can we learn about the popular culture?
选项
A、It lacks social emphasis.
B、It has some passive effects on kids.
C、It equals to video games.
D、It needs ongoing improvement.
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据题干关键词popular culture定位到末段首句:...Our society’s obsession with popularculture and video games is…。该句提及,我们的社会对于流行文化和电子游戏的着迷经常与努力工作、合作和保持进步等我们迫切希望孩子们拥有的观念发生着直接的冲突,同时该段第二句提及,这些文化力量将孩子们教育成生活中的消极旁观者。由此可推知,这些流行文化对孩子们不利,[B]与之相符,故为答案。由该段首句中“我们的社会对于流行文化……的着迷”排除含义相反的[A];由该段首句可知,流行文化和电子游戏是并列的,并非等同,故排除[C];由该段前两句可知,作者是反对流行文化的,故排除含义相反的[D]。
