A
After
the
Summer
Olympics
are
over,
when
all
the
athletics
have
gone
home
and
the
tele
vision
audience
has
switched
off,
another
group
of
athletics
and
fans
will
arrive
at
the
ho
st
city,
and
another
competition
will
begin.
These
are
the
Paralympics,
the
games
for
athl
etes
with
a
disability.
But
in
Beijing
in
2008,
for
the
first
time,
one
of
the
greatest
paral
ympics
will
not
be
taking
part.
She
is
a
British
athlete
by
the
name
of
Tanni
Grey-Thormpson.
Born
with
spine
bifida
(
脊椎裂
)
which
left
her
paralysed
from
the
waist
down.
Tanni
used
a
wheelchair
from
the
age
of
7.
At
first,
she
was
not
keen
on
sport,
apart
from
horse-riding,
which
gave
her
a
sense
of
freedom.
But
in
her
teens,
she
started
taking
sports
more
seriously.
She
tried
s
wimming,
basketball
and
tennis.
Eventually
she
found
athletics,
and
never
looked
back.
Indeed,
Tanni’s
athletic
career
took
off.
In
1984,
when
she
was
15,
she
pulled
off
a
surpr
ise
victory
in
the
100
metres
at
the
Junior
National
Wheelchair
Games.
In
1998,
Tanni
went
to
her
first
Paralympic
Games
in
Seoul.
She
won
bronze
in
the
400
metres.
Even
greater
success
followed
at
the
1992
Barcelona
Paralympics.
Tanni
won
gol
d
in
the
100,
200,
400
and
800
metres
relay,
setting
two
world
records
in
the
process.
In
the
same
year
she
achieved
the
first
of
her
six
London
Wheelchair
Marathon
victories.
Tanni’s
enduring
success
had
been
part
motivation(
动机
),
part
preparation,
“The
training
I
do
that
enables
me
to
be
a
good
sprinter(
短跑运动员
)
enables
me
to
be
good
at
a
marath
on
too.
I
train
50
weeks
of
the
year
and
that
keeps
me
prepared
for
whatever
distance
I
want
to
see….
I
am
still
competing
at
a
very
high
lever,
but
as
I
get
older
things
get
ha
rder
and
I
want
to
retire
before
I
fall
apart.”
Indeed
Tanni
retired
finally
after
the
Visa
Paralympic
World
Cup
in
2007.
Her
wish
is
to
coach
young
athletes
for
Beijing
2008
Olympic
Games.
In
spite
of
ups
and
downs,
she
never
take
her
fate
lying
down.
In
her
splendid
life,
she
has
won
an
amazing
eleven
gold
medals,
four
silvers
and
one
bronze
in
series
of
Paralym
pics
－
a
top
level
athletic
career
covering
two
decades.
She
has
won
the
London
Wheelcha
ir
Marathon
six
times,
more
than
any
other
competitor,
and
she
has
set
over
thirty
world
records.
What
advice
does
she
have
for
y
oung
athletes?
“Work
hard
at
your
studies,
and
then
trai
n,
train
and
train
again.”

不难得出正确答案。
B
For
years
we
have
been
told
that
encouraging
a
child’s
self
-respect
is
important
to
his
or
her
success
in
life.
But
child
experts
are
now
learning
that
too
much
praise
can
lead
to
t
he
opposite
effect.
Praise-aholic
kids
who
expect
it
at
every
turn
may
become
teens
who
seek
to
same
kind
of
approval
from
friends
when
asked
if
they
want
to
go
in
the
backse
at
of
the
car.
The
implication(
含义
)
of
saying
“You
are
the
prettiest
girl
in
class,”
or
talking
about
the
goals
she
scored
but
not
her
overall
effort,
is
that
you
love
her
only
when
she
looks
the
best,
scores
the
highest,
achieves
the
most.
And
this
carries
over
to
the
classroom.
Social
psychologist
Carrol
Dweck,
PhD,
tested
the
effects
of
overpraise
on
400
fifth
grade
rs
while
she
was
at
Columbia
University.
She
found
that
kids
praised
for
“trying
hard”
di
d
better
on
testes
and
were
more
likely
to
take
on
difficult
assignments
than
those
praised
for
being
“smart”.
“Praising
attributes(
品质
)
or
abilities
makes
a
false
promise
that
success
will
come
to
you
because
you
have
that
quality,
and
it
devalues
effort,
so
children
are
afraid
to
take
on
c
hallenges,
”
says
Dweck,
now
at
Stanford
University,
“They
figure
they’d
better
quit
whil
e
they’re
ahead.”
61.
The
underlined
words
“Praise
-
aholic
kids”
refers
to
kids
who
are
______.
A.
tired
of
being
praised
B.
worthy
of
being
praised
C.
very
proud
of
being
praised
D.
extremely
fond
of
being
praised
正确答案为
D
。推理判断兼主旨概括，在通
读全篇文章的情况下还要排除
C
选项的干扰。
