15、ll as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something， ”Dweck told TFK.“If we give a trophy to everyone，then the award has no value.”Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons，such as improving in a sport，teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our be

23、段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授 Carol Dweck的主要观点：反对人人获奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授 Kenneth Barish的观点，即赞成人人获奖。因此 B项清晰地展示了本文的结构。CTogether. 35 years.Alvin Ailey American Dance TheaterThey make you sway.
