We have many ways to get close to nature, such as dancing in the rain, stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil, but my favourite is walking barefoot(赤脚).
Walking barefoot can be enjoyable and helpful. It can help us sleep better and feel rested in mind and body. It can also build our foot muscles and improve our balance. According to traditional Chinese medicine, walking barefoot can be good for our health.
When you want to try walking barefoot, there's no need to hurry. At first, walking barefoot for 10 minutes can be fine. After that, add 5 minutes every day until you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes. If your feet hurt, take a break or curtail the time.
Walking barefoot, however, isn't always safe. People with health problems like flat feet or back pain should avoid this practice. What's more, walking barefoot in cold or wet environments might cause health problems. To make walking barefoot safe, remember the following points:
• Choose safe places, like soft grass or warm sand.
• Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.
• Keep shoes at hand if you worry that your feet will get too sore.
• Listen to your body—stop if you feel pain or discomfort.
Walking barefoot is a great way to feel connected with nature, but it's important to stay safe and consider your own health condition.

Sports might have started as a way to survive. Long ago, people ran, jumped, and climbed to stay alive. Hunters were known for their special skills. Wall paintings from centuries ago, showing activities like wrestling or dancing, were found in an Egyptian tomb. The ancient Greeks made a big change by holding the first Olympic Games.
Modern sports began in the UK in the early 19th century and then spread globally. These became the models for sports such as football that we play now.
Sports come in many shapes and sizes. Organized sports, whether swimming or ice hockey, are serious forms of play. There are rules to obey, skills and positions to learn, and plans to carry out. Team sports like soccer require you to work with teammates, while individual sports such as tennis focus on your personal performance.
There’s no doubt that sports are valuable. The American Academy of Pediatrics says play is important for kids’ and teens’ thinking, bodies, social lives and feelings. Sports exercise our bodies and teach us about ourselves and our world. Organized sports get us using our bodies and minds, which makes us more imaginative, curious, and creative. The skills we learn can help us in school and later at work.
In an ideal world, sports would always be fun. But in reality, sports can cause physical hurt like broken bones, and also harm in mind. In team sports, misunderstandings and hurt feelings are part of the learning process. Sports are supposed to bring people together, but they can also drive people apart. But even when they’re not always a cheerful experience, they show us how to face life’s challenges.
You don’t have to be on a school team. But many, like school coaches, have found ways to make play their work, which makes them feel whole.
There’s no better place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. No matter what sport you choose, the key is to play for fun. When you do, you’re already a winner.

A. Because it reduces their physical hurt easily.
B. Because it improves their mind and body health.

D. Because it teaches them how to win competitions.
()6. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. People should try to become a famous athlete.
B. People can play mainly for fun and enjoyment.
C. Trying team sports is better than individual ones.
D. Avoiding sports that cause hurt is the best choice.
