“I am nt crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shrtly after perfrming acupuncture n a rabbit. “I am ahead f my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even sme f his cwrkers ccasinally laugh at his unusual methds. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s ne f a small but grwing number f American veterinarians (兽医) nw practicing “hlistic(整体的) medicine”---cmbining traditinal Western treatments with acupuncture, chirpractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate f Clrad State University, started ut as a mre cnventinal veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ag when he suffered frm terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but fund little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he imprved after tw r three treatments. What wrked n a veterinarian seemed likely t wrk n his patients. S, after studying the techniques fr a cuple f years, he began ffering them t pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dg Charlie had a serius heart cnditin. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared t put him t sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dg’s suffering s much that she was able t keep him alive fr an additinal five mnths. And Priscilla Dewing reprts that her hrse, Nappy, “mves mre easily and rides mre cmfrtably” after a chirpractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the hlistic apprach will grw mre ppular with time, and if the past is any indicatin, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin has grwn frm 30 t ver 700. “Smetimes it surprises me that it wrks s well,” he says. “I will d anything t help an animal. That’s my jb.”

Excessive behavir (过激行为) by sme parents at yuth sprts events, such as shuting at referees (裁 判 员 ), is causing cncern. Althugh such incidents are nt frequent, they are severe enugh t significantly impact staff in high schls. A new study by the Natinal Federatin f State High Schl Assciatins revealed that 75% f high schl referees quit due t this type f behavir in the United States.
"Smetimes parents are putting a lt f pressure n their child by shuting at referees. That can create a negative envirnment," sprts dctr Dr. Sma explains. "Smetimes parents even g s far as t sign their child up fr a sprt that they dn't want t jin. Such behavirs erde children's enjyment f a sprt, eventually causing them t leave the sprt they nce lved."
Sprts dctr Dr. Sma says mst parents want t guide their children t happiness and success. But smetimes, they lse sight f what is truly imprtant. Instead f fcusing n their child's interest and pleasure, they pay t much attentin t the utcme f cmpetitins. As a result, a child simply walks away frm all the fun and physical, scial, and mental health benefits that they can get frm playing a sprt. "Parents want the best fr their children," says Dr. Sma, "but it is als nt uncmmn fr parents t try t realize their dreams thrugh their kids — nt just in sprts, but in many fields."
Dr. Max R. Trenerry frm the May Clinic suggests that parents shuld supprt their children in sprts by being a safety net rather than pushing them t hard. This means helping kids build gd sprts habits, letting them talk abut their games in their wn way, and chse when and hw they cmpete, and making sure they feel part f a team. Parents shuld teach their kids that sprts are nt just abut winning but als abut teamwrk and grwth.

A.the utcme f imprtant cmpetitins
B.the ways f building children's sprts habits
C.children's passin fr sprts
D.children's physical health
