 PART 3

The are five questions in this part. Read the text and questions below. For each
question, click on the correct letter A, B, C or D for your answer.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult
decision to make about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train
to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it means that starting very
young and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take second
place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for 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 the
government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot 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 understandably 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 starting young that you can
reach the top as a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do
reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after
many years of training.

1. What is the difficulty of the parents whose children are very interested in a particular
sport? 
A.  to choose careers for their children.
B.  to choose school for their children.
C.  to choose the type of sport for their children.
D.  to choose sports clothes for their children.
2. One of the difficulties of the parents is …….
A.  to allow their children to train to become the top.
B.  to help their children with school work.
C.  to allow their children to go out with their friends.
D.  to explain why they have to work very hard even at the weekend.
3. Another difficulty the parent have is ……
A.  that how their children can become the best sportsmen and women.
 B.  that how they can get the government’s help.
C.  that they have to find the money to support their children without the
government’s help.
D.  that they have to find good professional trainers for their children.
4. What kind of help is there for some young people who do well in sports?
A.  training on the weekends.
B.  financial help from the government.
C.  sports clothes, equipment, and travel to competitions.
D.  parents, doctors and professional trainers.
