Competitive Sports and Mass Sports
In modern times, there seem to be hundreds of sports for us, such as soccer, boxing, badminton, marathon, skiing, gymnastics and track and field.Whatever you like, you will find one 1.suitable (suit) for you.In addition, we can choose to work out in stadiums, gyms, or at home.Nowadays, sports can be 2.roughly (rough) divided into two categories—competitive sports and mass sports.The former means that athletes must compete 3.against/with each other for medals in the Olympic Games to win honour and glory for their country,4.which needs not only skills and strength but also great determination.However, success often comes along with error, stress,failure and 5.injuries (injury).Sometimes even a master may fall apart, but he never loses heart.Finally he makes it and becomes a champion and legend,6.setting (set) an example to others.7.Compared (compare) with competitive sports, mass sports focus on fitness rather than 8.competition (compete).Millions of people go jogging or do push-ups to keep healthy or become slimmer instead of going on a diet by cutting out fat.However, with no audience 9.to shout (shout) encouragement, they may give up.They cheat themselves into taking exercise the next day or pretend to have done it otherwise, which doesn't make sense.However, even if you take exercise now and then, it will make 10.a difference and have positive effects, won't it ? So why not move in and join in the mass sports?
