问题     Anyone who doubts that children are born with a healthy amount of ambition need spend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk or a headstrong toddler starting to talk. No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their initial efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, around the start of middle or junior high school, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed and end up joining the ranks of underachievers. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often inseparately tied to their children’s success, it can be a bewildering, painful experience. So it is no wonder some parents find themselves hoping that ambition can be taught like any other subject at school.
    It’s not quite that simple. "Kids can be given the opportunities, but they can’t be forced," says Jacquelynne Eccles, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan who led a study examining what motivated first- and seventh-graders in three school districts. Even so, a growing number of educators and psychologists do believe it is possible to unearth ambition in students who don’t seem to have much. They say that by instilling confidence, encouraging some risk taking, being accepting of failure and expanding the areas in which children may be successful, both parents and teachers can reignite that innate desire to achieve.
选项
答案     任何怀疑孩子天生具有益于健康的雄心的人需要花费几分钟时间和一个迫切学习走路的婴儿或牙牙学语的稚子待在一起。这些小孩子们在他们最初的努力中无论摔倒多少次，大多继续尝试，决定掌握这门令人惊讶的新技巧。许多心理学家和老师一致认为，仅仅几年后，大约在高中或初中开始时，很多孩子似乎就失去了成功的天性，最终进入了后进生的队伍。
    对于这些孩子的父母而言，他们自己的雄心经常是和孩子的成功分不开的，这可能是令人困惑的痛苦的经历。怪不得一些父母发现他们自己希望像在学校教授其他课程一样，雄心也可以教给孩子们。
    并没有那么简单。一位密歇根大学研究三个校区里是什么推动一至七年级的学生的心理学教授Jacquelynne Eccles说：“可以给孩子提供机遇，但是不能强迫。”虽然如此，逐渐增多的教育家和心理学家确实相信可能在看起来没有太大雄心的学生中挖掘出雄心。他们说通过慢慢地灌输信心，鼓励冒险，接受失败，拓展孩子可能成功的区域，父母和老师都能够重燃孩子天生渴望成功的愿望。
