2．If you have ever done competitive sports，you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.（1）
Here are a few ways to make sure that you're ready for the first day.
（2）Schedule specific workout times during the week to help you stick with it.Ask your coach，gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan.Besides，write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done.
Ask your coach if you aren't sure what you need.New equipment can be expensive，so think about using some second-hand equipment if it's available.Brothers，sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.（3）You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice.If you are a returning player，take out all your equipment，try it on and make sure that it still fits and works.
（4）Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts.College players，coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps.Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year.
Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate.Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season，doctors tend to be busy those times of the year.Therefore，set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.（5）

3．Playing sports is a lot of fun．Getting hurt is not．
（1）
Wear protective equipment．
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play．Helmets（头盔） are the most common protective equipment．They protect your head while you're playing football，baseball，softball，biking，skateboarding，and so on．
Warm up．
（2）Doing some stretching（伸展）can get you prepared to hit the field．By warming up，you get yourself ready to play．Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe，too．
Know the rules of the games．
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together．This works because drivers know the rules and follow them-at least most of the time．
（3）When players know the rules of the game，fewer injuries happen．For example，you know that in soccer you can't come from behind，crash into a player's legs，and steal the ball．It's legal-and safer-to go after the ball rather than the player．
（4）
Some rules don't have anything to do with scoring points．Some rules are just about protecting other people．For example，a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in．Otherwise，he or she might land on someone else．
（5）
This is a really important one．If you love sports，you may get right back in the game，even after an injury．But playing when you're hurt is a bad idea．It can lead to an even worse injury．
A．Watch out for others．
B．Don't do too much exercise．
C．It's the same way with sports．
D．Don't play when you're injured．
E．It's not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing．
F．You and the other players know what to expect from each other．
G．Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game．发布：2025/1/1 9:30:1组卷：6引用：2难度：0.5
