    I come from a family that loves sports. My father coaches Little League baseball. My mother swims nearly every weekend. My brother is on his high-school basketball team, and I am the best hitter on my middle-school volleyball team. All of us have benefited (受益) from sports. One of the most common ways for kids to take part in sports is to join a team. Joining a sports team should be a school requirement.

Playing sports is good for both the body and mind. Everyone knows that exercise helps people stay fit. For example, swimming helps your heart work better and it also helps build muscle strength (肌肉力量). In addition, school athletes often have a healthy diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid fatty foods because I must stay in great condition.

Being on a team allows students to enjoy a healthier social life. They often make more friends and can be some of the most popular kids in school. Since joining the basketball team, my brother has made friends with a lot of his teammates and has showed more interest in spending time with them.

Kids who take part in school teams sometimes earn college scholarships (奖学金). My brother’s friend, Justin, played football in high school. His family did not have money to send him to college. However, a college invited him to play on its team. The college is paying for him to go to school. Joining a team turned out to be one of the best decisions he had ever made. Now he studies at a great college and plays on its football team. Not every school athlete gets a college scholarship, but joining a school team makes it possible.

Although some people may not like the idea of forcing students to join a school team, its many benefits such as keeping kids healthy, new friendships, and possible scholarships cannot be denied (否认).

1.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?

A.Playing sports has health benefits.

B.Students should spend more time exercising.

C.Swimming is an excellent sport for students.

D.School athletes must try to eat a healthy diet.

2.How did the author’s brother change after joining the team?

A.He had a busier life.

B.He got more chances.

C.He worked much harder.

D.He became more sociable.

3.What can we infer about Justin?

A.He is a good football player.

B.He will be given a scholarship.

C.He is managing a school team.

D.He comes from a wealthy family.

4.What is the author’s attitude to making students join school teams?

A.He doubts it.

B.He is in support of it.

C.He is worried about it.

D.He pays little attention to it.

    When Natalie Hampton was 12, she was a student at one of the best schools in Los Angeles. Yet she was deeply unhappy.

While in seventh and eighth grade, Natalie was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates. She was physically attacked. A classmate even held a knife up to her neck.

The worst part? The bullies turned Natalie into an outcast. She ate alone in the dining room every day. “I became afraid to go to school,” said Natalie in a recent interview. “I felt worthless.”

In 2014, Natalie began ninth grade at a new school with a “kind student body.” Still, she never forgot how terrible the bullies made her feel. For that reason, whenever she saw kids eating by themselves, she would invite them over.

“Being included has made a difference in their lives,” said Natalie, now 16. This experience encouraged her to create an app (应用程序), Sit With Us, which was started in September 2016.

Sit With Us is a lunch-planning app that helps students who feel alone find a group to hang out with. Kids can also help end bullying and invite others to their lunch table. This way, anyone who doesn’t have friends to sit with can find a friendly table to join.

“The Sit With Us app should help lessen fears of lonely kids,” wrote author Susan Newman.  “It’s always good to have a support (支持) team at the lunch table.”

What is Natalie’s hope for Sit With Us? “To reach as many kids as possible,” she said, adding that the app is already being used by kids in Australia and Europe.

Natalie was recently awarded (授予) President George H. W. Bush’s Points of Light Award for her invention. The award honors those who help change and improve the world.

1.What troubled Natalie when she was 12?

A.She had to go to a new school.

B.She was hurt by her classmates.

C.She found it hard to be friendly to others.

D.She failed to help those who were bullied.

2.The underlined word “outcast” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person ________.

A.who is not useful B.who dislikes food

C.who bullies others D.who is not accepted

3.How does Sit With Us help kids?

A.By talking with them. B.By introducing programs.

C.By serving lunch to them. D.By supporting them at lunch.

4.What’s Natalie’s hope for the future?

A.Encourage more kids to use Sit With Us.

B.Invite more kids to her lunch table.

C.Invent other apps like Sit With Us.

D.Win more national awards.

    Dogs are a very popular pet in the United States. Most dogs just live with their families, but some dogs have very special jobs to do.

A very special group of dogs are known as “Therapy (治疗) Dogs”. These dogs are family pets with special training. The training allows them to go into public buildings and comfort people in need. The dogs are trained to be calm and quiet. Loud noises and unfamiliar places don’t frighten them. Therapy dogs can improve people’s health as well. Studies show that when people spend time with animals, their blood pressure goes down. They are calmer, and their mood improves.

Some therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. In one town in California, therapy dogs have become children’s reading friends. The dogs belong to a therapy dog group. Eight of these special dogs have been trained to be listening friends for young readers. The library is trying to encourage kids to enjoy reading. The children are invited to meet at the library. They are paired up with a therapy dog and can read to it.

The dogs make a great audience. They don’t judge a child who cannot read well; they just listen quietly. The children can read at their own speed and they find it less nervous than reading in front of their class. The children look forward to reading to the dogs, and the dogs love the attention. The library and the teachers are very happy with the program.
