Sports heroes play an important role in our society. They are not only excellent in their own sports, but also set good examples for young people. Their stories of hard work and perseverance can inspire us to chase our dreams.
A sports hero usually has two important qualities: talent and effort. Talent gives them a good start, but effort is the key to their success. Most sports heroes train for hours every day, even on weekends and holidays. They have to give up many things, like hanging out with friends or watching TV, to focus on their training.
In addition, sports heroes also have strong mental strength. When they fail, they don’t lose heart. Instead, they learn from their mistakes and work harder. When they win, they don’t become proud. Instead, they keep improving themselves to achieve greater success.
Sports heroes also bring people together. When a national athlete wins a gold medal in an international competition, people all over the country will feel proud and excited. Their success can strengthen national unity and boost people’s confidence.
However, being a sports hero is not easy. They often suffer from injuries and pressure. Many of them have to retire early because of health problems. But their contributions to sports and society will never be forgotten.

Teamwork is one of the most important factors in sports competitions, especially for team sports like basketball, football and volleyball. No matter how good a single player is, a team cannot win without good teamwork.
In a team sport, every player has their own role. For example, in basketball, point guards are responsible for passing the ball, centers for blocking and rebounding, and forwards for scoring. Only when every player does their job well can the team work together effectively.
Good teamwork requires trust and communication between players. Players need to trust each other on the field. They must believe that their teammates will catch the ball, block the opponent, and help them when they are in trouble. Communication is also essential. Players need to talk to each other during the game to share information and make quick decisions.
Teamwork is not only important in sports, but also in our daily life. In school, group projects need teamwork to complete. In work, team cooperation is necessary to achieve goals. Even in family life, teamwork helps solve problems and make life happier.
To develop good teamwork skills, we should learn to listen to others, respect different opinions, and cooperate with others. We should also understand that the success of the team is more important than the success of an individual.
16. Which of the following is a team sport?
A. Swimming
B. Running
C. Basketball
D. Hurdling
17. What is the responsibility of a basketball center?
A. Passing the ball
B. Blocking and rebounding
C. Scoring points
D. Making quick decisions
18. What does good teamwork require?
A. Talent and effort
B. Trust and communication
C. Speed and endurance
D. Pressure and confidence
19. Where else is teamwork important besides sports?
A. In school, work and family life
B. In international competitions
C. In training and practice
D. In winning gold medals
20. What should we do to develop teamwork skills?

C. Learn to listen and cooperate
D. Blame teammates for failure
