As parents, we want our kids to be persistent (坚持不懈的) and rise to any challenge. But when your kids are complaining that they hate basketball or saying that they don't want to take dance lessons anymore, should you force them to continue with the sport or activity?
Vanessa Lapointe, a family educator, says that it's OK for you to allow your kids to stop an activity, if it's not right after a discouraging practice. “Even as adults, it's hard for us to stick with something new—especially when we feel unsure, or not good enough,” she says. “It is harder for young children who don't have life experience to understand how effort is exchanged for outcomes.
That's not to say that any time your kids don't feel like doing something, you should let them off the hook. Kids can benefit from being uncomfortable. While they may not be best at something at once, the confidence that comes from knowing or improving at an activity can be worth it.
“Probably a little gentle encouragement to give it a fair go is suitable,” says Lapointe. She encourages parents to consider the kids' personality and why the activity isn't satisfying before giving up.
Sometimes, we should clearly know whose dream it is anyway when pushing the kids to succeed. In the story Parent's Dream, David Mario's father put him through endless training in order to make him become a professional soccer player. But later, Mario was unwilling to try anything including soccer. Lapointe says that this often happens when parents put their own unrealized dreams onto their kids.
“Young children do not yet have the ability to understand the exchange of time and effort for an outcome, especially those aged under 10,” says Mary Kickel, a Harvard - trained psychologist. “For them, it really should be about inspiring them to take part in activities that are joy - filled, playful and interesting. Our job is to grow children who are hardy, not hardened.”

答案： 1.C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Kids can benefit from being uncomfortable. While they may not be best at something at once，the confidence that comes from knowing or improving at an activity can be worth it.”可知，孩子可以从不适中获益，所以画线短语所在句指的是“这并不是说每当你的孩子不想做某事时，你就应该让他们摆脱困境”。所以off the hook意为“摆脱困境”。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In the story Parent’s Dream，David Mario’s father put him through endless training in order to make him become a professional soccer player. But later，Mario was unwilling to try anything including soccer.”可推知，父母将自己的梦想强加到孩子身上会对孩子产生负面影响。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For it，it really should be about inspiring them to take part in activities that are really joy-filled，playful and interesting.”可知，Kickel建议父母鼓励10岁以下的孩子参加一些有趣的活动。
4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讨论了当孩子不再喜欢某个活动时，家长是否应该强迫孩子继续坚持的问题，指出需要结合孩子的性格特点与活动的意义做出合理判断。所以短文的最佳标题为“你应该让你的孩子停止某项活动吗？”。
