Sport is not only physically challenging，but it can also be mentally challenging.Criticism from coaches，parents，and other teammates，as well as pressure to win can create an extra amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stress can be physical，emotional，or psychological（心理上的）and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.Burnout has been described as dropping or stopping of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself.The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.Young athletes can，for example，learn how to cooperate with others，make friends，and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.Coaches and parents should be aware，at all times，that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children.Youngsters may take their parents’and coaches’criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷）in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be careful that youth sport participation does not become work for children.The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons.In today’s youth sport setting，young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport.Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’performances.Positive encouragement
should be provided without considering the outcome.Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates（刺激）and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again，criticism can create high levels of stress，which can lead to burnout.
The author’s purpose in writing the passage is（）。

A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
C.to stress the importance of positive encouragement to children
D.to discuss the skill of connecting criticism with encouragement

It’s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them.That’s especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents.It’s also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes （收养孩子的家庭）because of parents who can’t or won’t care for them but refuse to give up custody （监护）rights.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description，but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do.Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody baffle between the man who raised her and her biological parents，with whom she has never lived.A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she’s ever known and that her biological parents have “no legal claim”on her.
The ruling，though it may yet be reversed，sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage.That’s an important development，one that’s long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978，Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents.Kimberly’s biological parents，Ernest and Regina Twigg，received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988.Medical tests showed that the child wasn’t the Twiggs’own daughter，but Kimt only was，thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays.In 1989，the two families agreed that Mr.Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting fights.Those rights were ended when Mr.Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr.Mays rendered her suit debated.But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue （起诉）on her own behalf.Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly，the biological link between parent and child is fundamental.But biological parents aren’t always preferable to adoptive ones，and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
The Twiggs claimed custody rights to Kimberly because（）。

A.they regarded her as their property
B.they felt guilty about their past mistake
C.they were her biological parents
D.they found her unhappy in Mr.Mays’custody
