Brazilian football star Ricardo Dada’s performances make the point well. He is one of the top scorers in the UEFA Champions League (歐洲冠軍杯). Kaka helped AC Milan beat Manchester United 30. Kaka, in great form, scored a goal. The win took Kaka and AC Milan to the finals of the UEFA cup in 2007. Like many Brazilian football players, Kaka is now world famous.

But this hobby sometimes has serious results—at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow（肘部）and in this way they develop “tennis elbow”. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries（損傷）happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation（手術(shù)）or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn’t know what to do.Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens（鏡頭）inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.Simmons started walking five days after her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volleyball again.” 54.

Fearproducing TV and puter games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will changes the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蠶食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (認(rèn)知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it。 Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is
