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 the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of 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 condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier. Also sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches (教练), teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer 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 computer games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person. 26.

Sports Make People Go Outside 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了人们做运动的三个重要原因：运动是锻炼的一种方式、教会年轻人与人交际、团队合作以及让人们离开家去感受外面世界。最后告诉我们运动能帮你成为一个更好更快乐的人。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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 the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? ”可知，第一段是通过问问题的方式导入话题的。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches (教练), teammates and players from the other team.”可知，做运动可以教会年轻人如何沟通，如何团队合作，以及如何尊重他人。故选B。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“This is because sports teach people about rules.

As we wondered about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Ariela and Eliana. We agreed. As soon as we walked into the main area of the butterfly museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flew with their colorful wings (翅膀). My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. I turned to our guide and asked curiously (好奇地), “How long do butterflies live?” She said, “About ten days.” “What can they do in ten days?” The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.” After we said goodbye, I couldn't stop thinking about what the guide had said.

Wu performs there every Thursday for one and a half hours with just a short break. Though Wu helps others feel better through her music, she herself feels sad because her husband died in December. But life has to go on. She finds that it’s meaningful to work as a volunteer in the hospital. It brings back the old memories. ▲ Wu spends three to four hours practicing the piano every day.

Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of 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 condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier. Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches (教练), teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer 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 computer games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important. Maybe you’re not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person. 26.
