V Read the text below and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space
In many schools in the world today children of all ages are encouraged, and (1) forced in some cases, to take part in team sports The (2) philosophy is that team sports are not only good for the body but also that they build a child's character This may well be true, but is the suggestion that team sports are the best way of developing a child's character actually true? Participation in a team sport, of course, usually involves a lot of (3) training Before important events children may have to train very hard in order to be (4) and physically fit for the 'big day' Without doubt, such rigorous training demands dedication and self-sacrifice on the part of the child However, there are other activities which also involve a high degree of (5) Not to mention, non-team sports such as tennis or even activities like chess require equal preparation and discipline Team sports are also considered to be character-building, in that they encourage co-operation between individual team members (6) , the success or the failure of the team depends not so much on the individual skills of the players as on their ability to co-operate This is valuable training for later life, of course, but team sports are not the only activities which encourage children to do this Plays and concerts, for example, also encourage co-operation (7) children
Teachers frequently (8) that team sports are about winning They enhance the 'competitive spirit’ of the boys and girls who take part It (9) that non-team sports
do the same Whether this is character-building or not, however, is open to question So many of the problems we face in society nowadays are the direct result of the 'me-first' attitude found in so many people Shouldn't schools aim to teach children that there is much more to life than winning and being first?

5 A perseverance B persevere C perseverence D persevering
6 A However B Obviously C But D Than
7 A between B among C in D to
8 A point out B point at C pick up D pick out
9 A goes with saying B goes saying C goes within saying D goes without saying
10 A However B Instead C But D Then
