Câu hỏi: 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 questions.
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
A. Relishing themselves should be children's principal purpose when playing sports.
B. Aggressive behavior is indispensable in playing sports.
C. Children are inevitable to hurt or yell at other players when playing sports.
D. Being injured in sports is not acceptable.

(Là một xã hội, chúng ta thực sự cần phải đối mặt với vấn đề này và làm một cái gì đó về nó. Cha mẹ và huấn luyện viên nên đóng vai trò là tấm gương tốt hơn cho trẻ. Họ cũng cần dạy cho trẻ những giá trị tốt hơn. Họ nên dạy trẻ tận hưởng dù chúng có chiến thắng hay không. Không cần thiết phải đánh gục chính mình để thưởng thức thể thao. Chiến thắng không phải là tất cả. Ngoài ra, trẻ em không được phép tiếp tục chơi khi chúng bị thương. Việc gửi một đứa trẻ bị chấn thương tham gia vào một trò chơi mang đến cho đứa trẻ thông điệp rằng sức khỏe không quan trọng bằng chiến thắng. Nếu chúng ta thực hiện một số thay đổi cơ bản, trẻ em có thể học cách thưởng thức thể thao một lần nữa.)
