CARD: **Paragraph 1.** Soccer is a game that almost everyone who is in good physical shape can play. In basketball, most of the players are tall. In football, many of the players are heavy and very strong. Soccer is different. A player who is fast can do well in a soccer game. He doesn't need to be tall, heavy, or strong.

CARD: **Paragraph 2.** People who are driving on long trips should stop often. They can buy gas, eat, sightsee, or just exercise a little. When they get tired, they can pull over to the side of the road and rest. Without regular breaks, drivers can easily become tired or careless. Sometimes when a driver falls asleep at the wheel, his vehicle leaves the road or crosses into the opposite lane and causes a terrible accident.

CARD: **Paragraph 2.** When people really want to do something that's difficult, they can usually find a way. Two U.S. pilots wanted to show that an airplane could fly around the world and not stop. They decided to build an airplane that was very light and didn't use much gas. It was noisy and slow, but it worked. In 1986, they flew it around the world. They got hurt when they flew through stormy weather and became terribly tired, but they finished the trip in nine days.
