　　What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, and people with excitement.

　　Not everyone likes organized sports or team sports. If this sounds like you, don’t sweat it. We’re going to talk about what keeps some kids from liking sports. With a few changes, you might find out that there is a sport out there that you could like. But if not, we’ll suggest other fun ways to stay active.

　　Sometimes, kids feel that they don抰 like sports because they may not understanod how to play them or they haven’t had much practice doing them. Sports can seem complicated （复杂的）because of all the rules and special equipment. Even the fields and courts they are played on come in different shapes and sizes and have confusing-looking lines drawn.

　　People spend many years learning about favorite sports and practicing how to do them well. So don’t feel bad if you don’t know the difference between a “corner kick” and a “goal kick” in the soccer. If you want to learn more about a sport, you might ask your mom or dad about camps or programs that introduce kids to new sports. It may be better than just joining a team that starts playing games right away without much explaining first.

　　Gym class and intramural (校内的) programs at school also can be way to try new sports. Another way to learn about a sport is to watch instructional videos or DVDs or refer to library books that explain the rules and offer suggestions for kids learning to play it.

　　If you have an older friend or family member who’s good at a sport, you might ask him or her to help you practice. Some sports are just easy to understand, even if you never want to play on a competitive team. For example, you might play softball or volleyball, just for fun, at a summer picnic.
