6 . Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflect the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests.

For teams like Los Angeles and Utah, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Laker name has been a city treasure. Before going to Los Angeles，the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1948, team officials chose the name for its direct relationship to the state’s motto “The Land of 10000 Lakes”. The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960.

Because Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to re-present the city for its reputation as the “jazz capital of the world”. The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.

The Chicago Bulls’ original owner, Richard Klein, named the team Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless, and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. A belief that Bulls — winner of the six NBA championships — have definitely followed.

In 1967, the Indiana Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball.

7 . The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it's important to know the challenges that some beach runners experience.

Running on the beach can be a good thing. It's certainly different from running on the pavement or a track. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的）surface. As you push off, you're going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you're not going to be able to push your-self forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don't get as much use during run on firm surfaces. For instance, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because that surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.

You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you're going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you're putting more pressure on it due to the slope.

Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot. However, if you're not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don't run long distances at first. That's because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does, and it's important to strengthen these muscles and adapt (使适应) your feet. If you want to run barefoot, it's great, but ease into it.

In spite of these challenges, running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.

10 . Why play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and you would be right. To have fun? That's true, too. But there's more.     1     According to the Women's Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.
