PART D: READING: 
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to complete the sentences 
(5pts) 
Sports training 
 Parents whose children show special interest in a particular sport have a difficult 
decision to make about their children’s career. 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 the second place. t’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 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 money to 
support their child’s development – and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special 
equipment etc..can be all very expensive. 
 Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training 
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 the failure even after many years of 
training. 
1. When a child is determined to train a sport, it means that . 
 A. he or she has to study much harder in class. 
 B. he or she needs to get the best marks in class. 
 C. his or her time must be devoted to school work. 
 D. his or her school work is considered less important than training. 
2. n many countries, it’s the government that.. 
 A. trains all of the young sportsmen and women. 
 B. provides the best young sportsmen and women with the money for training. 
 C. helps parents with the transport to competitions. 
 D. supplies the time and education for the best young sportsmen and women. 
3. Some doctors think that 
 A. training at an early age may cause damage to the muscles. 
 B. Young muscles can be properly developed by training hard. 
 C. by starting young, a child can reach the top as a sports person. 
 D. it’s dangerous for young children to play any sports. 
4. According to the author, parents and their children should.. 
 A. look forward to the failure. 
 B. be made to expect the failure.
