3、 I had leftLife, I believe, asks a continuous series of 7 to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own world becomes.

23、er they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view th
24、at sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was the Olympics the scene of a tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation
25、after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wa

The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a d
27、isputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another play
28、er popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind
29、 will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages agg

Team sports also help kids develop their social identity. Our sense of worth is developed through what we achieve and a sense of belonging.Individual sports

You take full responsibility, whether you do well or perform poorly.” Many of Cohns young clients complain about pressure from teammates or coaches to make zero mistakes or

Instead, it encourages them to compare their skill

With individual sports like swimming or track, its easier for the child to participate on his own, at his leisure, without having to round up a bunch of like-minded peers.Above all, while some children thrive(健康成长) on the excitement of competition, others are more l
