六、读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分，共25分)

A. 回答问题(本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)

Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough. If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three main reasons.

Students who play sports do better at school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students' study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores at school than those who don't. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate (集中注意力) better.

Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirit (精神) and learn problem­solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they're learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.

Playing sports can also improve confidence (自信). Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And playing sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends.

Now, how about going out to play sports with your friends every day?

One day a friend asked me for help. Someone was taking his newspaper from outside his house. A paperboy took it there at about ten o'clock in the morning, but when my friend got home from work at five o'clock in the afternoon, it wasn't there. He asked me to watch his house and find out what was happening. I sat outside his house in my car and waited. Then, at about one o'clock in the afternoon, a little dog came up to the house, took the paper in its mouth and ran away with it! I followed the dog to another house in the street. I knocked on the door and an old woman answered. She said the dog brought her a paper every day and she had no idea where it came from.

(B)81. One possible version:

Many students are short of exercise in their spare time now. They think doing exercise can affect their studies and they will have less time to study. Doing sports is good for health. A person who takes exercise regularly will keep fit. At school students are forced to take exercise in the PE class, and they need to join in certain activities. In this way, students live a healthy lifestyle, so they won't get sick easily. But after they leave school, no one forces them to do so, so they are too lazy to take exercise. As a result, their bodies get weaker.

I think students should take exercise every day outside the school. In a word, exercise is helpful，important and absolutely necessary.
