重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（74） （2017高考训练）阅读理解。 One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my sons school being comforted by teachers.That morning, my 11-year-old son had stomach pains, retching 干呕 into a bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before. What caused so much pain？Sports day.Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare 噩梦 .Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster. Why do we put our children through this annual suffering？Some may say competition is character building; or its taking part, not winning, thats important；or that it is a tradition of school life.I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain. Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyones eyes.Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side. I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive event.Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch. 1.What can we learn about the authors son from Paragraph 1?
