Beach volleyball is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch. It’s really easy， and all you need is sand， a net and a group of people， of any age or fitness level， who want to have fun.

Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team， making a total of four people. However， if you are less skilled and experienced in the game， it will be easier to play with a larger team. The more players you have， the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots. If you only have a few players， each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley （截球）. If you are looking for a relaxing， fun， low-key experience， choose larger teams.

Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules. However， even experienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand. Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface， play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court. When an athlete trains for beach volleyball， he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength. Strengthening his legs is extremely important. This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately （准确地） on sand despite the resistance. The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.

Whether you are in it for the competition， or just to have a great time with your friends， beach volleyball can be very exciting and fun. You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.

Research shows that in the United States a great number of teenagers who once enjoyed sports no longer participate in the middle or high school sports team. These teenagers say it’s just not worth it. Why do promising athletes walk away from middle school or high school sports， and what should you do if your athlete decides not to play team sports？

Take Madeline for example. When she was living with her family in Texas a couple of years ago， Madeline joined her middle school’s track team. She was new to the sport， but she was fast. She worked hard， and she won medals. Then one day， Madeline fell and cracked a bone in her wrist. Her track season was over.

Her coaches were upset， but probably not in the way you’d expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury （伤害） or encouraging her to return next season， they turned their back on her. “They shunned me for the rest of the year，” recalls Madeline， who has since moved to the East Coast. “I guess because I would no longer be winning them any medals.”

“Sports lost their appeal for me，” says Madeline， adding that her coaches also verbally abused （辱骂） the team at practices. “I did end up trying out for the track team last year， but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out. That’s the biggest regret in life.”

Talk to coaches， parents and teenagers about the downside of sports， and you’ll hear the same answer： by middle school and certainly by high school， it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning.

5. What happened to Madeline？

A. She got injured in the leg. B. She missed the track season.

C. She dropped out of the track team. D. She fell behind others in her studies.

6. What does the underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. Stayed away from. B. Got on with. C. Put up with. D. Made an apology to.

7. What does Madeline regret greatly？

A. She failed to win medals. B. She lost interest in the once-favorable sport.

C. The coach’s abuse hurt her. D. The injury reduced her confidence in sports.

8. Why do many students give up team sports in middle or high school？

A. Medals no longer attract them. B. Team sports are not exciting.

C. Injuries are more likely to happen. D. Sports are more about winning.

I learned this lesson from a（n） 2 many years ago. I took the head 3 job at a school in Baxley， Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
