1. (2023九上·沿河土家族自治月考) 阅读理解

I have an 11-year-old son named Peter. I knew that playing sports would be good to our son. He would get some exercise, learn about teamwork and learn some physical skills. We continually encouraged him to have a try, but after a while it was clear that he didn't like team sports, and there was nothing we could do to change it.

We decided not to push him to take part in sports, even though most of his friends did sports. As time went by, we gradually realized that we had made the right decision. Don't misunderstand (误解) me. I have nothing against sports. Now my son isn't interested in sports, but I'm not pushing him to do sports. Here are the reasons:

I want him to know I accept him unconditionally. I don't even want Peter to feel that I will love him only if he behaves in a certain way or takes part in some activities. Whether he succeeds or fails, he will always be my son, and that will never change.

I want him to form his own path (道路) in life. His path doesn't have to be the same as mine. In fact, we both have similar interests in several areas like music, computers and Star Wars, but we're also different in many ways. Peter needs to be free to go his own path.

I want him to know that I don't judge (判断) my worth by his achievements. Every father will feel proud of his son if he can make great achievements. So most parents always push them so hard. Sometimes we have seen ourselves indirectly through our own sons. Their achievements remind us of our wonderful days in the past. We must make sure we don't want to make up for (弥补) our own regrets by pushing our sons to climb higher and go further than we did.
