1 . As is known to all, sports are necessary, but many people are worried about getting hurt in sports. The equipment（装备）you wear while taking part in sports and other activities is key to avoiding injuries（受伤）.

Start with helmets（头盔）. They’re important for sports and activities such as football, baseball, softball, biking, horseback riding, skateboarding, inline skating, skiing, and snow boarding—to name just a few.    1    Every helmet should be replaced after any accident, as there can be more problems you can’t see.

    2    Sports participation（参与）is the leading cause of eye injuries in teens, but proper fitting protective eyewear can reduce the risk of serious eye injury by 90%. Don’t just wear your regular glasses when you’re on the court or field.    3    

Wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport where head injury is a risk, such as football, basketball, volleyball and boxing.    4    They can be fitted for your mouth by a dentist（牙医）or bought at sports stores.

And last but not least, the right footwear can keep you from tripping and falling. You know that sports like football, baseball, softball, and soccer require cleats（防滑鞋）.    5    Ask your coach or doctor what shoes are best for your sport.

2 . Surf’s Up

Riding the wave can be the thrill of a lifetime. But what does it take to become a surfer?

Surfing—it’s addictive

Surfing is the most exciting watersport there is. Serious surfers must be very brave, love adventure and have lots of energy. Once they’ve experienced the excitement of a ride on top of the waves, they never want to stop.

Finding the waves

Many surfers travel around the world searching for the perfect wave, moving from one surf festival to another and checking weather forecasts to see where the really exciting waves are expected next. A surfer’s greatest disappointment would be missing the opportunity to surf in the best weather conditions.

The international sports

Hawaii is where the sports began—the place which most surfers see as their “true home”. They love nature and the excitement they get from the deep waters. Enormous waves crash along mile after mile of beautiful sand, and every surfer dreams of experiencing surfing in Maui or Oahu. Other greatest locations include Australia, the west coast of the US, the Caribbean, Brazil, South Africa, The Canary Islands, and Cornwall.

Two essentials: strength and fearlessness

It takes time for a beginner to learn the technique, but during a long hot summer, who minds practising? The professionals are in the sea every day, and then come back onto the beach to do some exercise. They need to be strong swimmers with good balance and plenty of courage to be expert surfers.

Never easy—but always enjoyable

It can take a few weeks or a whole summer for you to learn to catch a wave at the right moment, stand up on your board and stay there. It’s an amazing feeling when you look down and see your feet on the board and realize you are finally standing up on the sea, even if you aren’t very steady.

4 . Teenagers' busy life can cause them to see exercise as a waste of time. However. the belief is far from true. Exercise is important for teenagers because it not only promotes physical health. but also improves mental health.

Exercise plays an important role in a teenager's mental health. Teenagers who exercise tend to have a better body image than those who don't, which helps build confidence and makes one feel more comfortable. This also helps one to accept his or her looks. Although physique(体形)is not as important a factor as health,it can strongly affect teenagers' mood and attitude. A healthier and fitter body will build a greater sense of confidence in the body image.

Another mental benefit from exercise is the feel-good endorphins(内啡肽)that come along with it. The body produces endorphins naturally when one exercises hard that are commonly referred to as"a happy chemical". They can produce a feel-good effect and create a sense of emotional well-being during and after exercise. They can make physical activities more enjoyable.

Myth (误传) 1: To stay in shape, you only need to work out once or twice a week.

Truth: Once or twice a week won’t make you stay in shape.     2     It is better to do it every day, because we find that the act of sitting counteracts (抵消) any of the activities you do.

Myth 2: The best time to work out is in the morning.

Truth: The best time for a workout is whatever time allows you to exercise most often. And you should make physical exercise a habit.     3     If you prefer a morning run, do that instead.

Myth 3:     4    

Truth: If you want to lose weight, you shouldn’t think that you can simply make it through exercise. Experts say losing weight almost always starts with changes in your eating habits. In terms of weight loss, diet plays a much bigger role than exercise.

Myth 4: Running a marathon is the ideal way to get fit.
