Passage ThreeQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.I love Charles Barkley like a brother, but we disagree from time to time. Here is an example of what I mean: I disagree with what Charles says in his Nike commercial, the one in which he insists, “I am not a role model.” Charles, you can deny being a role model all you want, but I don’t think it’s your decision to make. We don’t choose to be role models, we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or a bad one. I don’t think we can accept all the glory and money that comes with being a famous athlete without taking the responsibility of being a role model. We need to know that kids and even some adults are watching us and looking to us to set an example. I mean, why do we get endorsements in the first place? Because there are people who will follow our lead and buy a certain sneaker or cereal for the simple fact that we use it.I love being a role model, and I try to be a positive one. That doesn’t mean I always succeed. I’m no saint. I make mistakes, and sometimes I do childish things. But you don’t have to be perfect to be a good role model, and people shouldn’t expect perfection. If I were deciding whether a basketball player was a positive role model, I would want to know: Does he influence people’s lives in a positive way away from the court? How much has he given of himself, in time or in money, to help people who look up to him? Does he display the virtues like honesty and determination that are part of being a good person? I wouldn’t ask whether he lives his life exactly the way I would live it, or whether he handles every situation just the way I would handle it.Kids have lots of other role models: teachers, movie stars, parents, even other kids. As athletes, we can’t take the place of parents, but we can help reinforce what they try to teach their kids. Parents just have to make sure they don’t take it too far. Sometimes they put us in a position that makes us feel like walking on a tight rope high up in the air which we are bound to fall off eventually. Constantly being watched by the public can be hard to tolerate at times. I don’t think most people can imagine what it’s like to be watched that closely every minute of every day.46.
