My brother is on his high-school basketball team， and I am the best hitter on my middle school volleyball team. Both of us have benefited from sports. In fact， one of the most common ways for kids to take part in sports is to join a team.

Playing sports is good for both the body and mind. Everyone knows that exercise helps people stay fit. For example， swimming helps your heart work better and it also helps build muscle （肌肉） strength. In addition， school athletes often have a healthy diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid fatty foods because I must stay in great condition.

Being on a team allows students to enjoy a healthier social life. They often make more friends and can be some of the most popular kids in school. Since joining the basketball team， my brother has made friends with a lot of his teammates and has showed more interest in spending time with them.

Kids who take part in school teams sometimes earn college scholarships （奖学金）. My brothers friend， Justin， played football in high school. His family did not have money to send him to college. However， a college invited him to play on its team. The college is paying for him to go to school. Joining a team turned out to be one of the best decisions he had ever made. Now he studies at a great college and plays on its football team. Not every school athlete gets a college scholarship， but joining a school team makes it possible.

Although some people may not like the idea of forcing students to join a school team， its many benefits such as keeping kids healthy， new friendships， and possible scholarships cannot be denied （否认）.

My family first moved to Colorado 22 years ago. Los Angeles was too expensive and it was difficult to find well-paying jobs and affordable housing. Colorado became our next dream place. Settling into a small town in the Front Range， my parents found hard jobs.

Growing up in this small town， I remember my parents working hard to get past the language barrier. My mom， especially， tried her best to ensure she knew all that she needed to know about like my parent-teacher meetings and extra-curricular （課外的） activities. One of those extra-curricular activities that I signed up for was football. At that age， football was cool and all， but I was more into playing video games. Football didnt draw me in.

Big football tournaments would come around like the World Cup， the Copa America and the Gold Cup， and the Mexican National Team would play in these tournaments. I would sit there in our living room and unmindfully watch the games while my parents would go crazy with enthusiasm （热情）. I would sit there and play my game. My dad would look over and tell me that I should be paying attention carefully to the game and that I should care more about whether Mexico would win the match than my video games.

Both of my parents workspaces were crowded with other workers. My mom worked with people from all over Latin America. Everyones topic of choice at work would always turn to how their national football team was doing. It was a way to show pride in the countries where they had grown up.

I grew up loving football more and more. The more I learned about my Mexican roots （根）， the more I tried to find ways to express pride in them in the United States.

1. Why did the authors family move to Colorado？

A. They could live a better life. B. The author wanted to receive a better education.

C. There were more activities. D. They would follow their football dream.

2. How did the author feel about football at first？

A. It was amazing. B. It was important. C. It was uninteresting. D. It was difficult.

3. What would the authors father do when watching football games？

A. Play video games with the author. B. Remind the author to watch carefully.

C. Guess who would be the winner. D. Learn English from the games.

4. Why did the authors mom and her workmates talk about football？

A. To build a closer friendship. B. To express their homesickness.

C. To share a common topic. D. To show their pride in their motherlands.

Research shows that in the United States a great number of teenagers who once enjoyed sports no longer participate in the middle or high school sports team. These teenagers say its just not worth it. Why do promising athletes walk away from middle school or high school sports， and what should you do if your athlete decides not to play team sports？

Take Madeline for example. When she was living with her family in Texas a couple of years ago， Madeline joined her middle schools track team. She was new to the sport， but she was fast. She worked hard， and she won medals. Then one day， Madeline fell and cracked a bone in her wrist. Her track season was over.

Her coaches were upset， but probably not in the way youd expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury （傷害） or encouraging her to return next season， they turned their back on her. “They shunned me for the rest of the year，” recalls Madeline， who has since moved to the East Coast. “I guess because I would no longer be winning them any medals.”

“Sports lost their appeal for me，” says Madeline， adding that her coaches also verbally abused （辱骂） the team at practices. “I did end up trying out for the track team last year， but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out. Thats the biggest regret in life.”

Talk to coaches， parents and teenagers about the downside of sports， and youll hear the same answer： by middle school and certainly by high school， it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning.

5. What happened to Madeline？

A. She got injured in the leg. B. She missed the track season.

C. She dropped out of the track team. D. She fell behind others in her studies.

6. What does the underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. Stayed away from. B. Got on with. C. Put up with. D. Made an apology to.

7. What does Madeline regret greatly？

A. She failed to win medals. B. She lost interest in the once-favorable sport.

C. The coachs abuse hurt her. D. The injury reduced her confidence in sports.

8. Why do many students give up team sports in middle or high school？

A. Medals no longer attract them. B. Team sports are not exciting.

C. Injuries are more likely to happen. D. Sports are more about winning.

My Favorite Sport

When it comes to my favorite sport， what I would like to say is that I like swimming best.

I was often taken to the pool to practice swimming by my mother when I was young. Whenever I saw my mother dive into the swimming pool， I couldnt help following her bravely. Gradually， I became interested in swimming and could swim to my hearts content. The reason why I like swimming is that I feel it fun to swim. Besides， I consider it a good way to relax myself. What is more， I become stronger and stronger because of swimming.

I hope we can swim together and stay healthy.
