UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(二） 语言运用综合练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don't often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it's dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren't considered a sport, right
Well, here's some good news: you're wrong! Martial arts aren't much more uncommon than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They're much less boring and much less arduous sport than they're usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you've only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. And practicing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.

A
Do you like running enough to make it a habit Tierney Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isn't stopping.
In February, the 16-year-old from a high school, US, competed at the US Olympic Trials.She finished the marathon (42.195 km) with a time of 2：42：47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners.However, the cross-country (越野的) season was postponed to winter because of the COVID-19.So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another race — the Parkway Marathon in California.In November, Wolfgram broke the Women's American Junior marathon record with her time of 2：31：49.The old record was 2：34：32, which had stood since 1984.
“I'm completely stunned，” said Wolfgram's coach.“I knew she was going to break it, but she really showed out！”
During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish.“I guess I can say I gave it my all，” she told Runner's World.“When I finished, all I was thinking was I felt super happy，” Wolfgram said this was only her third marathon. When Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she had the ability to do it.“I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer ... I'm still glad that I did it.”
When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles per week.Although her parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train.At first, her dad would take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles.The distance would gradually increase each day.On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school.
Now Wolfgram will consider attending the Olympics Games in 2024 after it's scheduled.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Wolfgram非常喜欢跑步，并且将它当作一个事业。由于病毒的传播不能参加越野赛，所以选择了马拉松，并且打破了世界纪录。
1．What can we learn about Wolfgram from Paragraph 2
A．She was the champion at the US Olympic Trials.
B．She put off the cross-country season for the COVID-19.
C．She broke an Olympic marathon record in November.
D．She prepared for the Parkway Marathon in California.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another race — the Parkway Marathon in California.”可知，Wolfgram在为加州的Parkway马拉松赛做准备。
2．What does the underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Doubtful. B．Worried.
C．Shocked. D．Interested.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句教练所说的话可知，教练的语气是激动的，并且对于Wolfgram打破纪录的行为感到十分震惊。故C项与画线词词义相近。

C．Her coach's support and help.
D．Her hope to break the national record.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she had the ability to do it”可知，她第一次跑马拉松就是想证明自己的能力。
4．Which section of a newspaper does the passage probably come from
A．Sports. B．Lifestyle.
C．Culture. D．Opinion.
解析：选A 文章出处题。根据文章首句以及全文围绕Wolfgram的马拉松职业生涯展开可知，本文的主题和体育运动相关，故这篇文章可能摘自报纸的“体育”版块。
B
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don't buy an exercise bike.People who buy them usually use them for a week or so and then forget about them.The bikes are useful if they are often used but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also quite cheap compared to most other sports.You don't need to buy expensive clothes if you're just going running around the park or on the beach.There is one thing, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that's your running shoes.Remember that you are looking for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury.They can be expensive, but if they are of good quality they will last you a long time.It's always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for jogging, the secret is to start slowly, and not to do too much at the beginning — especially if you haven't had any exercise for a long time.Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about three times a week at first.Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do gradually.After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week.
It's important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do.If you do, you'll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it.If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you'll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits.Remember that training too hard is not very effective.Research has shown that somebody who exercises twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn't become twice as fit.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在公园慢跑需要做的准备工作以及慢跑的方法技巧。
5．What is the author's opinion on the exercise bike
A．It is unaffordable for most people.
B．It is easy to learn for most people.
C．It is a helper for most people.
D．It is a waste for most people.
解析：选D 推理判断题。由第一段第二句可知，作者认为健身自行车对于大多数人来说是没有太大用处的，是种浪费。
6．According to the author, what is very important for a jogger
A．Listening to expert advice.
B．Keeping on jogging everyday.
C．Having a pair of good jogging shoes.
D．Running for twenty minutes each time.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“There is one thing, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that's your running shoes.”可知，作者认为一双好的跑鞋对于慢跑非常重要。
7．What does the author mainly explain in Paragraph 3
A．Why it is easy to go for a jog.
B．What kind of sport jogging is.
C．How to go jogging in a right way.
D．When is the best time to go for a jog.
解析：选C 段落大意题。由第三段中的“As for jogging, the secret is to start slowly, and not to do too much at the beginning”及下文的具体做法可知，本段主要阐述的是正确慢跑的方法。
8．What do we know from the last paragraph
A．Good exercise stops bad habits.
B．A partner helps a lot in exercise.
C．Feeling good keeps one's exercise going.
D．The more you exercise, the fitter you will be.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由最后一段前两句可知，一个人感觉到舒适的话，他就会持续锻炼下去。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Parents and kids alike love sports, and it is easy to get caught up in a game and become focused on winning.__1__ When children and teens are involved in sports, they are also able to learn and put into practice values that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
__2__ Whether your team wins or loses, you should show respect for the effort of the other team.If the other team wins, accept defeat, acknowledge their abilities, and move on.If your team wins, you shouldn't brag (自吹自擂) — that's what it means to be a gracious winner.
Sportsmanship requires that players never cheat.It might seem easier to win by doing things in a different way like cheating, but everyone has to follow the rules because they ensure sports can be played in an organized way.Good sportsmen want to win because they follow the rules and train hard.__3__ Cheating is not acceptable.
In youth sports, it is important to encourage even those players who are the least skilled to have fun playing in the game.Parents, coaches, and even other players have an important role in allowing less talented teammates to take part.__4__
Team sports work best when each individual supports the team.Praise teammates for what they do well and encourage them when they make mistakes.__5__ Parents should model this behaviour for children by praising them for specific things they have done well, even if they made a mistake or may not have played as well as hoped.
A．Everyone should have a chance to play.
B．It is very important to respect the other team.
C．Avoid complaint, argument, and unkind actions.
D．Respect the decisions of referees and other officials.
E．Yet there is much more to be gained than a winning record.
F．Good sportsmanship may seem hard to explain with one sentence.
G．Never support any effort to win that attempts to go around the rules.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在运动中孩子除了获胜之外，可以学习和实践到的一些伴随他们一生的价值观。
1．选E 上文讲到父母和孩子对运动的喜欢是专注于胜利；下文提到在运动中孩子们可以学习和实践那些将伴随他们一生的价值观，所以空白处为承上启下的作用。故E项(然而收获的远远不止一个胜利的记录)符合文意。
2．选B 根据空后一句可知，B项(尊重对手是很重要的)符合语境。选项中“respect”与下文的“show respect for”相呼应。
3．选G 上文讲到遵守规则及刻苦训练是优秀队员获胜的品质；下文提到运动中的作弊是不能接受的。故G项(永远不要支持任何试图打破规则的努力)符合题意。
4．选A 根据空前一句可以推知，对于天资不好的队员也应该允许其参与比赛，所以空处描述的应是任何人都可以参与运动。故A项(每个人都应该有机会参与比赛)符合题意。
5．选C 根据空前一句可知，表扬队友的出色表现，鼓励犯错误的队友，对于队员的错误不应该埋怨。故C项(避免抱怨、争吵和不友好的行为)承上启下，符合题意。
Ⅲ.语法填空
As a major part of the culture and sports activities in our school, the Culture and Sports Festival, which ended last week, is __1__ largest and longest culture and sports event __2__ (organize) by our school.
There were so many interesting and attractive activities that we could enjoy __3__ (we) in them.The sports meeting __4__ (hold) in our new stadium that is twice __5__ (large) than the old one.It is always the favourite of the sports fans.We took part in many track and field events __6__ helped us build up our __7__ (strong) and health.We also enjoyed other __8__ (program) including the competition of campus singers and the host contest.
The Culture and Sports Festival has offered so many chances __9__ all the students.Hope you __10__ (join) us in the activities next year!
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了学校里刚刚结束的文体节活动。这是作者所在学校举办的规模最大、时间最长的文体活动。
1．the 考查定冠词。形容词最高级前用定冠词the。
2．organized 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处是非谓语动词短语作后置定语，动词organize和被修饰词event之间是动宾关系，所以填过去分词。
3．ourselves 考查代词。enjoy oneself“玩得开心”。根据提示词we可知答案为ourselves。
4．was held 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。运动会是被举行的，应用被动语态；再根据全文时态和主谓一致的原则可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was held。
5．larger 考查形容词比较级。根据“than”可知，此处用形容词的比较级形式larger。
6．that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，track and field events是先行词，后面的限制性定语从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词that/which。
7．strength 考查名词。根据空格后的“and”可知，空处与health并列，且前面由形容词性物主代词our修饰，故填strength。
8．programs 考查名词复数。句意：我们还欣赏了其他节目，包括校园歌手比赛和主持人比赛。由语境可知，这里表示复数意义，故填programs。
9．to 考查介词。固定短语：offer sth.to sb.意为“提供某物给某人”。
10．will join 考查动词的时态。根据“next year”可知应用一般将来时，所以填will join。UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(三） 语言技能应用练

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don't buy an exercise bike.People who buy them usually use them for a week or so and then forget about them.The bikes are useful if they are often used but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also quite cheap compared to most other sports.You don't need to buy expensive clothes if you're just going running around the park or on the beach.There is one thing, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that's your running shoes.Remember that you are looking for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury.They can be expensive, but if they are of good quality they will last you a long time.It's always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for jogging, the secret is to start slowly, and not to do too much at the beginning — especially if you haven't had any exercise for a long time.Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about three times a week at first.Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do gradually.After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week.
It's important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do.If you do, you'll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it.If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you'll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits.Remember that training too hard is not very effective.Research has shown that somebody who exercises twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn't become twice as fit.
5．What is the author's opinion on the exercise bike

It's cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you put your running shoes away, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a try.
According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, instead of running on a treadmill (跑步机), burns more calories (卡路里) because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its temperature.Besides, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures — and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel energetic.
Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further problem to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes and lung cancer are all dangers of running in smog.The combination (结合) of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid polluted air, and go early in the morning, before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

Professional rock climber Emily Harrington has made history after successfully free climbing Yosemite National Park's El Capitan last Wednesday.
Harrington, 34, became the fourth person — and the first woman — to ever scale the 3,000-foot El Capitan without the help of a rope or other equipment.“The people before me who have achieved this are kind of like some of my heroes in rock climbing，” she said，“so it feels pretty special to join that group.”
But Harrington's climb was not without injury — at one point, she slid and was left with a serious wound on her forehead that required her to take a break.“I took a fall and I couldn't get my feet out and my head actually hit the wall，” she recalled, “I got this wound on my forehead.I rested a little bit longer, bandaged (包扎) it up, and then tried again，” Harrington said，adding that although she“kind of didn't really want to try again，” she powered through because “I felt like I should try again.”
After 21 hours and 13 minutes, Harrington scaled all of El Capitan, achieving a feat (壮举) she failed to finish twice last year.“That was my life dream.I achieved it，” she said.
Harrington said she's hopeful that her journey has inspired others.“I hope that as a result of my story more people will get to experience climbing, or at least try.”
Harrington previously scaled Mt.Qomolangma, the tallest mountain in the world.As a former member of the USA climbing team, Harrington has competed in five US sport climbing championships and two North American championships.

Sweat ran its way down my cheeks. It was hot, but the air was still and wet. One final play and the State Softball Championship was ours.
I looked towards people who were watching the game. Sure enough, I found my mom. I always hoped my dad were here. The farm needed his full attention, but I did not care.
Finally, we won! State Champs! I let out a scream of happiness, full of tears. My mom made a “V” to celebrate my success and smiled. I smiled back at her.
We all received medals, but I cannot remember any of it. I concentrated my thoughts on my dad. I ran to my mom, asking for her cellphone. I had to tell my dad about the happiest day of my life, and complained about how he did not care.
The phone rang twice, and no one answered. My heart sank, but I tried again anyway.
“Hello？” answered my dad.
“Dad！” I cried. “We won State！”
Silence.
“Dad？” I could hear something on the other end. “Are you crying？”
“I'm just really happy for you, Meggie，” he said. “And I'm sorry I couldn't be there.”
An apology was all I needed. I hung up the phone feeling relaxed, and I began to understand how it must feel to be a father. I forgave him for never being there. He worked so I could play. My father loved me enough to let me experience life's happiest moments without him.

Looking for a fun Earth Day activity You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging.Strange as it may sound, the new “sport” is becoming popular with runners worldwide, many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom.In 2016, after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work.Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that official “plogging” events started all across Sweden.As plogging became popular on social media, the new “sport” began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide.
The official online “Plogga” group now includes members from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador.Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.
As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise.According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour.This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging.Additionally, the constant squatting (蹲) to pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging (费力地拖) around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or two, and go plogging.Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around your neighbourhood, and make every day Earth Day!

C．They hold competitions to attract people to plog.

Sam loved football. Ever since he could remember, his family spent Saturday mornings at the town football fields watching his big brother and sister play. It always looked like great fun, with kids running up and down over the grass, chasing the black and white ball as fast as they could.
Now that Sam was finally old enough to join the beginner team, he was feeling nervous. Sure, he had watched a lot of football games, but that didn't mean he was good at kicking the ball. He practiced with his teammates and had fun doing practice, but it wasn't easy to kick the ball into the big white net when there was no one trying to stop him.
Now the morning of Sam's first game was here, and there was another player standing in front of him on the field. She was very tall, with long golden hair. The whistle blew, and she ran past Sam toward the ball.
Sam blinked. She was already gone, dribbling (运球) the ball toward the net. He had let her get past him! Sam ran after her, but it was hard to keep up.
The ball kept rolling back and forth. Sam was tired. A real game felt so much longer than practice.
Sam was about to stop running and take a short rest. He put his hands on his knees breathing heavily. Suddenly, the ball rolled to a stop right in front of him. He was wide open!
Sam knew what he had to do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. He set up just in front of the net and gave one last hard kick. The ball sailed into the net for a goal. Sam scored his first point!
Sam turned around to see that kids were jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red clothes, not blue ones like Sam's. Sam blinked and looked at the goalkeeper in the net. It was his teammate, Briana.

Standing rooted to the spot, Sam went blushed at that and got butterflies in his stomach. Now the other team took the lead. All his teammates stared at Sam, which made Sam feel even regretful. He felt thick and heavy in his mouth so that he could not utter a word. But the game was continuing fiercely. Briana threw the ball back out onto the field and the players all ran after it. Sam didn't move. He thought he might cry. He wanted to quit soccer forever.
Paragraph 2：
Briana ran over to Sam and put her arm around him. She whispered, “It doesn't matter! It's a great kick.” Sam looked at her face to see if she was joking, but Briana smiled, “Now run down there and kick another one just like it.” Rekindling his confidence, Sam ran towards the ball. With the perfect cooperation with his teammates, Sam kicked another goal, this time, to the opponent's net. Sam stood in the center, eyes shining and his heart thundering with excitement. At last, when the coach blew the whistle, the game ended 2 to 1. Sam and his teammates were all wild with extreme excitement at the hard-won result.UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(五） 主题阅读拓展练

Professional rock climber Emily Harrington has made history after successfully free climbing Yosemite National Park's El Capitan last Wednesday.
Harrington, 34, became the fourth person — and the first woman — to ever scale the 3,000-foot El Capitan without the help of a rope or other equipment.“The people before me who have achieved this are kind of like some of my heroes in rock climbing，” she said，“so it feels pretty special to join that group.”
But Harrington's climb was not without injury — at one point, she slid and was left with a serious wound on her forehead that required her to take a break.“I took a fall and I couldn't get my feet out and my head actually hit the wall，” she recalled, “I got this wound on my forehead.I rested a little bit longer, bandaged (包扎) it up, and then tried again，” Harrington said，adding that although she“kind of didn't really want to try again，” she powered through because “I felt like I should try again.”
After 21 hours and 13 minutes, Harrington scaled all of El Capitan, achieving a feat (壮举) she failed to finish twice last year.“That was my life dream.I achieved it，” she said.

Sweat ran its way down my cheeks. It was hot, but the air was still and wet. One final play and the State Softball Championship was ours.
I looked towards people who were watching the game. Sure enough, I found my mom. I always hoped my dad were here. The farm needed his full attention, but I did not care.
Finally, we won! State Champs! I let out a scream of happiness, full of tears. My mom made a “V” to celebrate my success and smiled. I smiled back at her.
We all received medals, but I cannot remember any of it. I concentrated my thoughts on my dad. I ran to my mom, asking for her cellphone. I had to tell my dad about the happiest day of my life, and complained about how he did not care.
The phone rang twice, and no one answered. My heart sank, but I tried again anyway.
“Hello？” answered my dad.
“Dad！” I cried. “We won State！”
Silence.
“Dad？” I could hear something on the other end. “Are you crying？”
“I'm just really happy for you, Meggie，” he said. “And I'm sorry I couldn't be there.”
An apology was all I needed. I hung up the phone feeling relaxed, and I began to understand how it must feel to be a father. I forgave him for never being there. He worked so I could play. My father loved me enough to let me experience life's happiest moments without him.

Looking for a fun Earth Day activity You may want to try plogging, or picking up litter while jogging.Strange as it may sound, the new “sport” is becoming popular with runners worldwide, many of whom are posting photos of themselves and friends holding bags of trash on social media.
Plogging is the idea of Erik Alstrom.In 2016, after moving to Stockholm in northern Sweden, Alstrom showed concern over the amount of trash on the road during his daily bike ride to work.Thus, he began plogging during his daily runs.
Other joggers soon joined Alstrom, and the activity became so popular that official “plogging” events started all across Sweden.As plogging became popular on social media, the new “sport” began to spread beyond Sweden, first to other European countries and then worldwide.
The official online “Plogga” group now includes members from over 40 countries, all the way from United States cities like Ohio to Thailand and Ecuador.Many school running clubs are also getting in on the action to encourage people, staging competitions that reward the runners with the heaviest trash bags.
As it turns out, plogging is not only good for the environment but also a healthy way to exercise.According to Swedish fitness app Lifesun, an average person burns about 288 calories while plogging for half an hour.This is about 50 calories more than he/she would burn when just jogging.Additionally, the constant squatting (蹲) to pick up litter increases the plogger's flexibility, while lugging (费力地拖) around the increasingly heavy garbage bags helps strengthen his/her arm muscles.
On this Earth Day, be sure to put on your running shoes, carry a trash bag or two, and go plogging.Or better still, start a plogging team at school, or around your neighbourhood, and make every day Earth Day!
9．Why did Erik Alstrom decide to pick up litter while running
A．He wanted to clear out a path to ride his bike.
B．He was fond of exercising on his way to work.
C．He dreamed to become popular across Sweden.
D．He was concerned about the trash on the road.
10．How do school running clubs support the new “sport”？
A．They post photos of official events online.
B．They explain what plogging means on stage.
C．They hold competitions to attract people to plog.
D．They compete with one another for members.
11．Why is Swedish fitness app Lifesun mentioned in Paragraph 5
A．To say that plogging is environment-friendly.
B．To show that plogging is of benefit to health.
C．To offer the approaches to exercising properly.
D．To tell joggers to carry heavy bags to work out.
12．What is the best title for the text
A．Plogging: A Fun Activity for Earth Day and Every Day
B．Running Is Really Helpful to Environmental Protection
C．Plogging: A Strange but New “Sport” for Runners
D．What We Should Do to Reduce the Amount of Litter

Sam loved football. Ever since he could remember, his family spent Saturday mornings at the town football fields watching his big brother and sister play. It always looked like great fun, with kids running up and down over the grass, chasing the black and white ball as fast as they could.
Now that Sam was finally old enough to join the beginner team, he was feeling nervous. Sure, he had watched a lot of football games, but that didn't mean he was good at kicking the ball. He practiced with his teammates and had fun doing practice, but it wasn't easy to kick the ball into the big white net when there was no one trying to stop him.
Now the morning of Sam's first game was here, and there was another player standing in front of him on the field. She was very tall, with long golden hair. The whistle blew, and she ran past Sam toward the ball.
Sam blinked. She was already gone, dribbling (运球) the ball toward the net. He had let her get past him! Sam ran after her, but it was hard to keep up.
The ball kept rolling back and forth. Sam was tired. A real game felt so much longer than practice.
Sam was about to stop running and take a short rest. He put his hands on his knees breathing heavily. Suddenly, the ball rolled to a stop right in front of him. He was wide open!
Sam knew what he had to do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. He set up just in front of the net and gave one last hard kick. The ball sailed into the net for a goal. Sam scored his first point!
Sam turned around to see that kids were jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red clothes, not blue ones like Sam's. Sam blinked and looked at the goalkeeper in the net. It was his teammate, Briana.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
Sam realized that he had kicked the ball into the wrong net!
Paragraph 2：
Briana ran over to Sam and put her arm around him.

During those years in high school, I really began to practice hard on improving my basketball skills.My main goal was to get an athletics scholarship to college and get a free education.I indeed achieved this goal and was awarded a two-year basketball scholarship at Parkland Junior College.There in my two years I was truly better than I was when I first started out playing basketball, which I know was because of the hard work I put into improving my skills all throughout my life.
After having two good seasons at Parkland on and off the playground I graduated.The final step I had in mind was to come to Northern Illinois University and make the basketball team.Many doubted me and said I wasn't good enough to make the team, but instead of listening to them, giving up or stopping working hard like I've been doing all my life, I worked the hardest.I've worked over the summer.And all the hard work paid_off and I am now a member of the Northern Illinois University Basketball Team.

Physical education, or gym class, isn't required for all high school students.In some schools, it isn't offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”．
Today many people don't do sports.But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult.Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn't that easy.Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student's studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.However, some activities such as video games and computer activities, don't get teens to move around.The increase in such activities means that many teens don't get their required exercise.Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens' risk of developing many diseases.An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance.Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

Were you into skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding, as well as the first time we managed to stand up on surfboards.
It was so much fun that we were hooked_on extreme sports.However, not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.
Writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding, climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children.Lackman also looks for advice from medical professions.
“Kids aren't mentally ready for these activities，” says a doctor, Vani Sabesan.“They cannot realize the risks, and their parents can't always be trusted to stop them.”
Sabesan is particularly worried about the influence of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children.“What we're seeing is that a lot of kids think they can do what the professional athletes can do.”
If someone, who was encouraged to go surfing at the age of five, was presented with a surfboard when he/she was seven, I think these worries are a little overstated (夸大的), if not misplaced.
Extreme sports can be dangerous, but there's as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates (四轮滑冰鞋) as off a skateboard or surfboard.
My own experience of extreme sports leads me to think that I'll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.
In sports such as surfing and snowboarding, there's a sense of adventure and courage.It is important to tell young children about it.
Did I fall off my surfboard All the time.Did I get back on Every time.
