Yes, doing sports improves health, but it is the life lessons that matter most.For many of us, instead of struggling to improve our minds and spirits, we began judging progress only by the size of our muscles or the numbers on a weighing machine. For us, the thought that athletic competition is about greater life lessons and the building of character has been overshadowed by headlines about professional athletes.“And yet there's still strong evidence that sports strongly foster certain personal qualities J says Angela Lumpkin, Professor of the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kansas. And that's true for athletes of any age. Amateur sports provide a safe place for competition. They also provide a practice ground for managing stress.The advantages of taking part in a sport can seep（透）into your professional life, too. In basketball, for example, "Getting everyone to play the right role on the court is the key to success J says Alan Arlt, the founder of the Life Time Fitness basketball program Ultimate Hoops.

In addition, "In athletic events, you go through good and bad times often in the period of two hours J says former NBA head coach Flip Saunders. "Do you have the calm manner to settle yourself down, or do you totally lose it and get thrown out of the game which hurts both you and your team? All of that on-court experience has impacted the way you approach situations in reality.”What would parents expect when their children joined in sports?A. To get through obstacles with perseverance.B. To enhance their comprehensive fitness level.C. To defeat opponents with the burning ambition.D. To win as many professional games as possible.8. What do many people do according to the article?A. They play sports to evaluate the size of the muscles.B. They keep playing sports to improve mental health.C. They still hold the idea that sports can better build characters.D. They pay more attention to the news of professional athletes. 10. Why does the author mention "Amateur sports“ in Paragraph 3?A. To clarify a concept.B. To illustrate Lumpkin's idea.C. To make a prediction.D. To present a phenomenon.11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about taking part in a sport?A.
