Most high school athletes are faced with high stress levels due to the rising expectations of sports teams. As a result>> many of them are trying their best to prepare themselves to be varsity athletes but also feel the pressure to be good students as well. In our society, more and more parents are pushing their kids to be their best and want them to possess more and better than what they had. However ,sometimes the pressure from parents, students and fellow teammates can be a little too much for them. Colleges now are looking to accept not only good students but socially well-rounded students too. How are they supposed to be able to be socially popular? How can they balance school work and sports practices? Don't you think it is too much for them? Everyone wants to have a personal life and does what they like to. But actually, they are always caught up in trying to be the ''best,' and planning ahead for their future. Therefore ,many teens have to struggle both at school and outside of school. To become varsity athletes tmost teens are required to stay very late in the school. In this way it leaves very few hours to eat, shower, do homework and then get to sleep and the next day they have to wake up early again. Sports seem to become more and more competitive every year ,just as academics do as well. At some point, teens will start to suffer greatly. So in order to fix this, the school needs to care more about the students participating in sports. In other words, varsity athletes should have the right to rearrange their schedule due to their sports season and sports coaches should also understand the teens. When an athlete asks to leave early, it doesn't mean that they want to give up ,but rather, they are trying to keep up with everything. Question: More and more parents are expecting their kids to _ . Options: A: be socially well-rounded B: try their best to achieve more C: catch up with their peers D: make a big fortune in sports

Article: Bringing Art into Hospitals The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better. As part of nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country's best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent movements first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s.He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience . A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out--patient's waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975.Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist. Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is striking. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. Question: Some best artists of Britain have been called in to _ . Options: A: set up new hospitals B: make the corners of the hospital collect paintings C: bring art into hospitals D: help patients recover from serious illnesses
