Wu started to be a volunteer piano performer at the end of 2023. The hospital holds a piano performance every Thursday to make a relaxing environment and cheer up patients(病人).

Though Wu helps others feel better through her music, she herself feels sad because her husband died in December. But life has to go on. She finds that it's meaningful to work as a volunteer in the hospital. It brings back the old memories. ▲
Wu spends three to four hours practicing the piano every day. After taking up the piano as a hobby, she wants to realize her dream even if she is already 89.

If sports aren't going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports.
First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins(安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect(尊重) their coaches(教练), teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing computer games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.
Maybe you're not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person.
(1)、The writer starts the passage by ____.A、telling stories B、listing numbers C、giving examples D、asking questions(2)、What do sports teach young people according to the passage?① how to communicate with others; ② t o be the best one;
③ how to work as a team; ④ to respect others;
A、①②③ B、①③④ C、①②④ D、②③④(3)、What does the underlined word"They"in Paragraph 3 refer to?A、Reports. B、Sports. C、Problems. D、Rules.(4)、Which of the following is the structure(结构) of the passage?(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2)
A、 B、 C、 D、(5)、What is the best title for the text?A、Sports Are Just for Professionals B、Sports Teach People to Work Hard C、Sports Are Good for Everyone D、Sports Make People Go Outside七、阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)第二节 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
