问题     Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes (运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
    The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.
    Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout. (278 words)
According to the passage parents and coaches should______.

选项 A、help children to win every game
B、train children to cope with stress
C、enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
D、pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

答案D

解析 本题属于主旨题。综观全文,文章旨在强调父母、教练不应对年轻运动员施加过多的压力,以免使他们失去了运动中的乐趣。B、C两项显然不正确。文章结尾处谈到父母、教练应对年轻运动员多予以肯定,少一些批评指责,而不应过多地注重结果。故A也不正确。只有D“更关注孩子是否享受运动”符合题意。
