My best friend Bill is always trying to find out ways to give the environment a helping hand. One day, Bill brought some green cakes to school. At lunch, he shared his cakes with us. “Delicious!” “Wonderful!” Everyone liked the cakes and wanted to know how he made them.
The story goes back a few weeks. Bill’s family like fruit very much. His father loves watermelons. He eats a lot of them in summer. They always throw away (扔掉) the skins.
After seeing the cleaner working hard to pick up the heavy rubbish pail (垃圾桶), Bill said, “There must be a good way to use all the watermelon skins.”
After a lot of thinking, he decided to make something with the skins. First, he made the skins into juice. Then he carefully made his delicious GREEN cakes.
Once he tasted the cake, he knew his cakes were a great by-product (副产品) of the watermelon eating. And it was environment friendly too.
From now on, he doesn’t need to worry about the heavy waste (浪费) from eating watermelons. And everyone always wants more of his special cakes.

A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports experts. If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you play sports every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? 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 good condition (状态). When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (内啡肽). The more endorphins your body makes, the happier and more active you will be.
Also, sports teach young people how to get on with others and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their teachers, 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 reason of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching TV 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.
Maybe you’re not going to become a sports expert, but that doesn’t matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person.
26. The writer used a lot of questions in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A. ask for advice B. get answers from readers

A. To teach people how to play with others.

C. To discuss what sports make people stronger.
D. To ask people to make good use of their free time.
