Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with  1  an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often  2  trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day 3   .

Those fun trips had a(n)impact. A chance encounter in 2000 proved that. One day,   5  working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys  6  .He sensed trouble between them.  7   one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.” I 8    you. You took me   9   when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the   10  days of my life .”

Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation(基金会)that  11  teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw 12  there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging 13  on the kids,” says Moody.

By turning kids on to fishing, he 14  to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a  15 ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such 16  can be pretty deep.” “Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer(同龄人)pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who  17  the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother  18  drugs.”

Moody faces  19  in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.” I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my  20   to give back,” Moody says.” If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules…planning your next move.......acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating(合作).

Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

       Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.  People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
