Tiffany, a 16-year-old girl, was very, shy. Last September, her best friend, Sophie, moved abroad with her family because she had to continue her studies in America. She even said she would not come back for at least a few years. Tiffany became and helpless. "I was really sad the moment I heard the bad news and I didn't know what to do," Tiffany recalled (回忆). "I myself in my room for a whole week. It was then that my aunt took me to a sports club one Saturday and I saw' so many young people playing various sports there. I signed up for a beginners' course in volleyball and since then I have been playing this sport. Now I practise twice a week there. It is wonderful playing sports in this club and I have made lots of as well. What's more, I feel I am much healthier than before."
The most basic aim of playing sports is that you can improve your health even if you are not very good at sports. , you can get to know a circle of people at your age while playing sports. Tiffany used to be a very quiet girl. Since she joined the sports club, she has opened up herself and now she has become very and enjoys meeting and talking with others.
For most people, that is one of the attractions of joining a sports club. You can get to know other young people who have similar interests. You don't have to sit down and talk to strangers.
You go in for sports and it is easier to understand your partners on the same team. Now Tiffany is quite her friends and she has also gained more confidence.
Try to do regular sports. The mind needs exercise as well as the body.

Feeling lonely can make you sick. Doctors have long known that loneliness can cause many health problems and even death. What they didn’t know is 16 this feeling causes illness. A study in the online magazine Genome Biology 17 that loneliness actually influences the important part of our bodies—our genes.
In a small population of patients, researchers 18 more than 20,000 genes to compare how the genes of lonely and non-lonely individuals (个体) express themselves in molecular processes (分子过程) and in personal health. They found that gene expression is 19 in chronically (长期地) lonely people. “We now have a new way for understanding the relationship 20 social experience and physical health,” explains the study’s lead author, Steve Cole of University of California, Los Angeles.
“This study—the first to link (联系) 21 with gene changes—is special and exciting,” says Emma Adam, a professor of human development at Northwestern University. “It 22 in the black box.”
According to John Cacioppo, an author of the study from the University of Chicago, the
work suggests that loneliness is a warning 23 , much like physical pain. “This feeling is so bad because 24 of us wants to be forgotten; that’ s also what human means,” he says. “It makes us 25 for other people and want to be with friends when we’re lonely.”
