A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals(专业人员 ). If sports aren't
going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work
hard and feel sore(酸痛) the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?
There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising
keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces
endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people
about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example,
when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach
young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.
Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is
less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they
work hard, they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too
much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the
sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are :important.
You're probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter. Sports will help you become
a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play
sports: Sports are fun.

I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people.
Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making
you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the
causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control
become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a
big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results
may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that
you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get
used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes andimagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This
will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
33. The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because .
A. most are not very important B. they are not the real causes of the problem
C. they cannot be controlled by people D. it’s better to deal with one cause at a time
34. If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?
A. Go swimming often to get used to it. B. Avoid going to the swimming pool.
C. Find a swimming teacher. D. Imagine watching others swim.
35. What is true about nervousness according to the passage?
A. It usually has only one cause. B. It is usually caused by people.
C. People can easily manage it. D. Most people suffer from it.
36. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce the writer’s sports experience. B. To advise on how to deal with nervousness.
C. To help people remember their fears. D. To explain the dangers of nervousness.
D
Studies have shown that when students join in team sports, their overall educational experience is greatly
improved. In fact, no matter they are good at sports or not, there are still benefits to get from playing team sports!
Here are four lessons team sports can teach students.
__________
At some point in life, everyone goes through challenges. People may think that the choices they make only
affect themselves, but as it turns out, that simply isn’t true! Team sports teach students about friendship and a sense
of belonging to something bigger than themselves. When they play sports on a team, they quickly learn that every
choice they make has an influence on their teammates and their opponents!
Be Decisive
Making choices can often be difficult for many people since they often over-complicate very simple decisions.
Playing team sports gets students to reason and come to a decision faster than they might in their day-to-day life.
And then, making quick decisions can help students develop a sense of self-confidence.
Never Give Up
It’s always exciting to win in life, but sometimes the greater lessons come from losses in team sports games.
To deal with those losses, students should accept them peacefully, move on and try again! Team sports teach
students that great comebacks do happen and a loss is never final if they refuse to give up!Put Others First
Perhaps the most important lesson that team sports can teach students is how to put others first in difficult
situations. Sometimes, they may have to be ready for being second-best for the greater good, because there is often
more at play than they can see at first. Learning self-sacrifice is a lesson that students will certainly carry
throughout the course of their life!
Students don’t have to be athletic to succeed at sports, and there are countless benefits of team sports for them.
37．Which of the following is most likely the missing part in the text?
A．Strengthen Friendship B．Have a Bigger Picture
C．Make Correct Choices D．Respect Your Opponents
38．Why do many people find it difficult to make choices in Paragraph 3?
A．Because they don’t care about the choices.
B．Because they don’t have chances to make choices.
C．Because they often over-complicate very simple decisions.
D．Because they are often pushed to make very simple decisions.
39．How should students deal with losses in team sports games?
A．A loss is final if they accept it.
B．Team sports teach students to wait for win.
C．Great comebacks do happen, so they should do nothing.
D．They should accept them peacefully, move on and try again.
40．What is the author’s attitude towards the team sports?
A．Disagree. B．Praise. C．Criticize. D．Doubt.
