        A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专业人员). 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 (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?

        There are actually a lot of good 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 state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.

        Sports are important to everyone, but they are especially important to young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.

        Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.

        Another benefit of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television 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.

        You're probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports:  Sports are fun.

    1. (1) The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________________.
      A . introduce the topic B . make a survey C . share knowledge of sports D . ask for advice
    2. (2) The underlined word “They" in Para. 4 refers to ________________.
      A . reports B . sports C . problems D . rules
    3. (3) In the writer's opinion, sports can bring people ________________.
      A . happiness, health, friendship and fun B . fasbion, health, friendship and fun C . happiness, wealth, health and courage D . health, courage, friendship and value
    4. (4) The best title for this passage is“ ________________ ”.
      A . Sports are very interesting B . Sports teach people rules C . Sports make people go outside D . Sports are good for everyone

        Do you know how to talk to others politely in English? Learn how to avoid being rude with this great guide!

        Could you give me five minutes? VS Go away.

        You're really busy at work, but your co- worker needs your help. When you're busy and can't attend to anything else, just saying “Go away. ”is definitely not right. Instead, keep everyone happy by using the sentence “Could you give me five minutes?".

        Excuse me. VS Move.

        Telling someone to “Move out of the way.” is very rude. The next time someone is in your way, saying “Excuse me.” will get the result you want without causing trouble!

        I'm afraid I can't. vs No.

        It can often be difficult to decline an invitation from a friend. Simply saying “No.” would be impolite. The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you'd better say “I'm afraid I can't.”

        I would like ... vs I want

        It's often considered rude to request something using the words “I want" . Instead of “I want a cup of coffee”, try telling a waiter, “I'd like a cup of coffee, please.” You'll get your coffee and a smile too!

        Would you mind ... ? vs Stop it!

        Someone is doing something you don't like, and perhaps is rude. Would you like him or her to stop? To get the desired result, rather than shouting “Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!", ask him or her politely by saying “Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?".

    1. (1) The passage mainly tells us _________________.
      A . how to express yourself more politely B . how to ask the way C . how to deal with our problems D . how to make others happy
    2. (2) Which is the polite expression of the four?
      A . Stop it! B . Go away! C . Excuse me. D . Wait!
    3. (3) If you don't like what someone is doing, which sentence is more polite?
      A . Would you mind not parking your car here? B . Don't park your car here. C . Stop parking your car here. D . You mustn't park your car here.
    4. (4) The underlined word “decline” means“________________ ”in English.
      A . accept B . refuse C . solve D . receive
    5. (5) Which is the best title for the passage?
      A . Speak loudly and clearly B . Mind your table manners C . How to express the requests D . Mind your manners in English
