山西省应县第一中学2017-2018学年高一下学期英语4月月考试卷
Were you into skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid? We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding, as well as the first time we managed to stand up on surfboards.
It was so much fun that we were hooked on extreme sports. However, not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.
Writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding, climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children. Lackman also looks for advice from medical professions.”
“Kids aren't mentally ready for these activities,” says a doctor, Vani Sabesan. “They cannot realize the risks, and their parents can't always be trusted to stop them.”
Sabesan is particularly worried about the influence of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children. “What we're seeing is that a lot of kids think they can do what the professional athletes can do.”
If someone, who was encouraged to go surfing at the age of five, was presented with a surfboard when he/she was seven, I think these worries are a little overstated(夸大的), if not misplaced.
Extreme sports can be dangerous, but there's as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates(四轮滑冰鞋鞋) as off a skateboard or surfboard.
My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I'll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.
In sports such as surfing and snowboarding, there's a sense of adventure and courage. It is important to tell young children about it.
Did I fall off my surfboard? All the time. Did I get back on? Every time.
