58、，使他们拥有积极的动机，从而更喜欢体育运动。所以A项正确。40.C 作者意图题。纵观全文可知作者通过写stress对孩子参加运动的诸多负面影响，让父母和教练们意识到只有更多的积极的鼓励，减少批评和挑剔，才能让孩子喜欢体育运动，所以C项正确。41.C 从第一段我们可以看出古奥运会是在公元前776年开始的，故选C。42.D 整篇文章都在介绍摔跤的历史。在古奥运会举行之前，摔跤就已经作为一种运动形式存在了。作者 说摔跤是人类历史的序幕，旨在说明摔跤作为一种运动历史悠久。43.D 由第二段可知A、B、C都为原因，故选D。44.C 这种摔跤比赛让人振奋，又让人放松，与以前那种不同，这是它受欢迎的主要原因
