II. READING
1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions. (1.0 pt.)
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision about their
children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many
children it means 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, and 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. This is from _________.
A. a letter B. an advertisement
C. a sports diary D. a newspaper article
2. What is the writer's intention?
A. To inform us about training. B. To discuss training method.
C. To give details about training costs. D. To suggest a training program.
3. How do some governments help young children who are good at sport?
A. They give them overseas training.
B. They give them good positions in the government.
C. They give them money for training.
D. They give them sports clothes and special equipment.
4. According to the passage _________.
A. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young and all parents are willing to spend their
money and time on the training
B. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young but it is very expensive
C. one will have a lot of friends and money when one starts young to train to become a top sportsperson
