题组训练2 Ⅰ.阅读 A Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports.The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities.If you like to walk,keep walking—on snowshoes.If you want to try an endurance sport,go for cross-country skiing. Besides,snowboarding is just great fun. Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing,then.Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be—shorter,lightweight,curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner.These newer skis—along with another type of equipment called ski boards,which are even shorter than skis—help you control your speed and body movements. Consider testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards? Check with your local sports shops or the rental places at the ski mountains about sample programmes. You could also try sledding.Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill.If you prefer ice to snow,think hockey or figure skating. Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads.One of the easiest sports around,snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists—or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods.Snowshoes are smaller,lighter,and better than ever.If you want to try them out,you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores. Whatever sport you choose,don’t rely on a friend for instruction.You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you,but why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors are for —to help newcomers start out right.Instructors can give you advice about equipment,techniques,safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you. Above all,if you want to progress,invest your time in learning the basic skills thoroughly.Everything else you do as a skier,boarder,or skater will be built on these first skills. 1.How many different types of sports are mentioned in the FIRST TWO paragraph
