3.选N)。此处应填形容词。从原文“成长过程的最初几年是了解自己的......时期。”可选项有cautious和critical，由后文中的valuable experiences和be used throughout their lives可推出，成长的最初几年是了解自己的关键时期，而不是谨慎时期。故排除cautious而选critical。
4.选G)。此处应填动词， 且能与with构成搭配。可选项有settle和cooperate，而settle with sb. 意为“同某人解决(法律上的争端)",显然不符合题意，因此选cooperate“合作”。
5.选H)。此处应填副词。可选项有greatly和hardly，由o heart可推出，教练和父母的反馈信息会极大地影响年轻运动员，故排除hardly而选greatly。
6.选F)。由also可知， 此处应填与aware对应的形容词。因此，可选项有cautious和critical，但that从句解释的是参与体育运动不能成为孩子们的工作，故只有cautious符合题意。
7.选A)。此处应填名词。由that可知，此处应填与outcome意思相反的词，故只有process“过程”符合题意，选项中procedure强调的是“程序”，故排除。
