Not everyone likes organized sports or team sports. If this sounds like you, don't worry about it. We're going to talk about what keeps some kids from liking sports. With a few changes, you might find out that there is a sport out there that you could like. But if not, we'll suggest other fun ways to stay active.
Sometimes, kids feel that they don't like sports because they might not understand how to play them or they haven't had much practice doing them.
People spend many years learning about favorite sports and practicing how to do them well. So don't feel bad if you don't know the difference between a "corner kick" and a "goal kick" in soccer. If you want to learn more about a sport, you might ask your mom or dad about camps or programs that introduce kids to new sports. These may be better than just joining a team that starts playing games right away without much explaining first.
If you have an older friend or family member who's good at a sport, you might ask him or her to help you practice. Some sports are just good to understand, even if you never want to play on a competitive team. For instance, you might play softball or volleyball, just for fun, at a summer picnic.

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think
you'll say “no". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes.
Third, wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind. The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture（家具) for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.
That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
42. From the experiment, we know that _ .
A. the two boxes have the same weight
B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper
D. colors have different weights in people's mind
43. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer(推断)____.
A. the smell of colors is changeable（可变的）
B. people can sense the light from colors
C. people can smell the colors through the nose
D. all the colors have the same smell for the blind
44. Which of the following is true?____.
A. White color is heavier than red color
B. People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms
11
D. People's body temperature will change with different colors
45. The passage is probably____.
A. a short novel B. a news report
C. a science report D. an advertisement

V. Hello, Everyone!
It’s a pleasure for me to share my experience with you all.
I’d like to be an exchange student in the US because there are many advantages in doing so. First, I can improve my English after communicating with the local people for such a long time. Second, I can learn to take care of myself so that I can become more independent. Third, I can stay with a host family to learn more about American culture. In addition, I can visit some places of interest in the US as well.
However, there may also be some disadvantages of studying in the US. Firstly, the cost is very expensive. Secondly, it is difficult for me to get used to the local food. I even dislike the food there. Thirdly, I often feel lonely and miss home in my spare time. What’s more, I have difficulty understanding the American accent in the first few weeks.
Every coin has two sides. Try to look on the bright side.
That’s all. Thank you for your attention.
