Cactus C Every year, football and basketball will have their hot seasons. Lots of people are crazy about them, but they are team sports. In fact, most people only watch, and don’t take part. There are also sports that one can play by himself or herself, such as skating. Skating is one of the most popular sports for people who like to be outdoors. While skating, people can get a feeling of unusual freedom. Skating helps people relax, and takes pressure away from daily life. Besides being fun, skating also has many benefits. Skating uses the same muscles as walking. However, skating can improve people’s ability to balance and help them burn more calories(卡路里). In order to keep fit, at first we might think that running is the best exercise. But many people say that it’s better to use less force and do it a long period of time. In other words, skating for a long time is better than running for a short time. Most of us don’t have much time to play sports. We want to get lots of exercise in a short time. Skating can burn about twice as many calories as walking during the same time. It is also good for your heart. Skating makes your heart stronger, so it doesn’t need to work hard to move the blood around your body. One of the best benefits is that skating makes the muscles in your legs and feet stronger. The more you skate, the better your balance will be. 41. Which of the following sports is not mentioned in the above passage? A. Football B. Swimming C. Walking D. Skating 42.
