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-mache(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.
According to the author, the American kids______.
选项
A、have to face their lives’ impact
B、can’t realize their future success
C、need to learn how to collaborate
D、have serious learning problems
答案
C
解析
细节题 根据题干关键词the American kids定位到首段末句:For American kids,learning not only a skill but also…。该句提及美国孩子们不仅要学一项技能,还要学会如何在一起工作才是他们未来成功的最佳基础,[C]与之相符,故为答案。[A]“必须面对生活的影响”在原文中并未明确提及,故排除;首段末句只是提及美国孩子未来成功需要什么,并未提及他们看不到未来的成功,故排除[B];首段末句提及要学一项技能,并不能推出他们存在严重的学习问题,故排除[D]。
