Baseball is one of the favorite sports in the USA. Children play baseball in sports fields or parks. At summer picnic, there is often an informal baseball game. Boys and girls, young and old take turns to bat. There are nine players on each team.
The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are showed on TV and members of the important baseball teams become America’s heroes (英雄). At the end of the season, the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go together to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio or watch the television. People seem to talk only about the game. Even long after it is over, they still talk about the result and the players.
American football is perhaps the most popular sport in the USA. The football season begins when the baseball season ends. More people are interested in football than baseball. When there is an important game, thousands of people sit beside radios or in front of television sets to get the result.

A new report from a university says 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise every day， The report was based on （基于） a research done with about 2 million students aged 11 to 17 around the world．According to the report ， activity standards are different in different countries and they are also different between boys and girls． In China， for example， only 20% of the boys are active enough， compared to 11% of the girls．
Why don't teens go out for exercise？ One main reason is that they always have technology products in their hands or around them． They spend too much time on smartphones，computers and TVs in their free time． Many teens find it very hard to pull themselves away from these devices （设备）．The report says that young people need to do less in the digital world but more in the real world． It advises kids to get at least an hour of exercise every day． This could include running， biking， playing sports， or many other outdoor activities．
More and more research shows that exercise not only helps the body， but also helps the brain．Besides， doing sports helps kids to make friends． Mark， a sports fan， started to play football when he was six years old． He used to be shy and weak， but now he has become taller and stronger．He gets to know the importance of communicating with his teammates and how to learn from mistakes and failure．And he has made lots of friends with the same interest． They often have football training on the playground． They have more to talk about and enjoy the happiness after training．
根据短文内容，回答下列问题．
（1）How many students around the world took part in the research？
（2）Are activity standards the same between boys and girls according to the report？
（3）What does the report advise kids to do？
（4）When did Mark start to play football？

How do you feel about your looks？ Is it important to have a beautiful face？ Are there other things that can make a person special？ The way you look is special． Do you know what I mean by that？ We all look a little different． Some of us are tall， Some of us are fat．The point is， all of us have our own look一our own face．
Sometimes，we might feel bad about looking different．We might feel like we look ugly or strange．But our differences are what make us special．
I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge． He was born with a strange﹣looking face．His mother always worried that he would face many difficulties in life．
But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little．Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him． But he didn't care at all． He decided to accept his face and feel confident（自信的） in himself． He has made a decision to live an amazing life．
It's hard when you feel like you don't look "normal" or"perfect"．But the truth is，no one is perfect．The important thing to remember is that you are special， no matter what you look like．
根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）．
（1）According to the writer， all of us look a little different．
（2）The writer recently watched a speech by Robert Hoge's mother．
（3）Hoge's mother used to worry that he would face many difficulties in life．
（4）When strangers made fun of him， Hoge lost his confidence．
（5）The writer tries to tell us that we are special no matter what we look like．
