The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be.The  36  family in colonial（殖民时期的）North America was mainly concerned with survival and  37  that,its own economic prosperity.Thus,children were  38  in terms of their producitivity（生产能力），and they played the role of producer quite early.  39  they fulfilled this role,their position in the family was one of subordination(附属）.

With the  40  of the society,the position of children in the family and in the society became more important.In the complex and technological society  41  the United States has become,each  42  must fulfill a number of personal and occupational  43  and be in contact with many other members.  44  ,viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are  45  more as people in their own right than as those of subordination.This acceptance of children as  46  participants in the family is reflected in various laws  47  the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.

This new  48  of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also  49  an increasing interest in child-raising techniques.People today spend much time  50  the proper way to  51  children.

Nowadays,the socialization of the child in the United States is a  52 

transaction（事务）between parent and child  53  a one-way,parent-to-child training

  54  .As a consequence,socializing children and  55  with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure,satisfaction,and problems.

After the Summer Olympics are over,when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off,another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city,and another competition will begin.These are the Paralympics,the games for athletes with a disability.But in Beijing in 2008,for the first time,one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson.Born with spina 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 swimming,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 surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.

In 1988,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 gold 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 has 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 marathon too.I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I went to race...I am still competing at a very high level,but as I get older things get harder 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 takes her fate lying down.In her splendid life,she has won an amazing eleven gold medals,four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics—a top level athletic career covering two decades.She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times,more than any other competitor,and she has set over thirty world records.

What advice does she have for young athletes?“Work hard at your studies,and then train,train and train again.”
