4 . All of my five children played team sports in middle school and high school, and four of them are in college.     1    .

Teenagers may get into bad habits.     2     According to a study in Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, a survey of more than 14,000 teenagers found that those who had taken part in team sports were less likely to smoke or have unhealthy eating habits.

As children get older, they naturally develop their own lives and there will be fewer ways for parents to be involved（参与）. Some teenagers shut their parents out of their room.    3    .

Sports build strong and healthy bodies. Children who compete know that they are only at their best if they eat and rest well.    4     In sports, strength and speed are wanted. Team sports help kids avoid obesity（肥胖） problems even better than activities like running or biking.

    5     The joy of a sports season stays with us long after the season is over. Our children may forget who was in their English class or which math teacher they had in the 10th grade one day. But they will never forget their sports teams.

A．Team sports can bring lifelong memories.

B．Team sports make a child’s social world wider.

C．As a matter of fact, doing sports makes us a better family.

D．However, they still want their parents to attend their games.

E．Cigarettes and drugs harm their performance and every athlete knows that.

F．But teenagers who often take part in team sports have less time for bad behavior.

G．From their experiences, I’ve learned it’s important for children to play team sports.

5 . If you like dangerous and exciting sports, maybe skydiving (跳伞) is for you. First skydivers jump from an airplane.     1     Sometimes, skydivers do gymnastics in the air—for example, they might hold their knees close to their bodies and turn upside down. Finally, skydivers pull a cord (绳索) and a parachute (降落伞) opens.     2     Skydivers usually wear hard helmets to protect their heads. Sometimes, skydivers are on a team in a competition such as the Olympics. The team works together and does movements in the air.     3     The team with the most points wins.

It’s difficult to see what skydivers do when you’re standing on the ground. Often, people fly in airplanes to make a tape of the skydivers.     4    

If skydiving doesn’t sound fun to you, there are plenty of other sports.     5     Surfers stand out in the middle of the ocean on a long, flat board. Surfers don’t have to worry about jumping out airplanes, of course---but don’t forget about the shark!

A．You can always try surfing.

B．Then, skydivers fall quickly toward the ground.

C．It is the best choice for you to skydive or try surfing.

D．With a video camera, the operator records their performances.

E．It is not easy to jump out of the airplane when you are in the plane.

F．Judges watch the skydivers and give them points for doing amazing things.

G．The parachute helps slow the skydiver so he or she lands on the ground safe.

6 . "Tennis is as good for the mind as it is for the body," says Dan Bloxham, head coach at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.     1    .

Family fun

Tennis is the perfect sport for the whole family to enjoy together. When playing with children, use red or orange tennis balls as these are softer than the classic yellow ones used at Wimbledon and will make the game easier and slower to play.

Super social

Instead of going to the pub, why not grab a bat and catch up with friends over a game of tennis? It’s one of the most social sports around and a great way to meet people.     2    , you could turn up at a club anywhere in the world and be able to play even if you don’t speak the language.

    3    

Tennis is a huge challenge when it comes to fitness and uses all the muscles in your body as you run across the court, jump to reach high shots and race to the net.

Unlike cycling, which puts emphasis on the muscles in your legs, tennis uses the arms, legs, shoulders, and core, providing a total body workout.     4    . It also improves coordination(协调), strength and cardio fitness.

Digital Detox(脱瘾)

    5    . The game requires your full attention and as you are mentally engaged, you can’t watch a screen. Because the game involves concentration and the need to hear both the ball and your opponent, you also can’t listen to music.

A．Wonder workout

B．Huge Outdoor Challenge

C．And as it is a universal game

D．Playing tennis provides a real break from technology

E．Playing is so great a good calorie burner for getting in shape

F．Here he explains why taking up tennis is a good idea for everyone

G．If you can’t find a group, search Facebook or ask the front desk at your gym
