Leonard, a middle school student who loves running, had to quit(放弃) the Middle School Sports League(联赛) to deal with his knee problem. Although he had been training for the league for half a year. It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter. But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.
Nothing is fun all the time. Sticking at something difficult teaches us important skills like perseverance(毅力). However, learning to let go when things aren’t right is important too. Maybe your heart isn’t in playing the piano anymore, or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead. Deciding to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy. In fact, studies show that letting go of goals you can’t reach or don’t really want can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.
But how can you know it’s time to stop and move on? Dr Bean is an expert in sports psychology(心理学) who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings. He says, “Quitting is never a matter of black and white.” He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren’t enjoying something anymore. Is it because you have argued with a teammate or can’t get on with a new art teacher? Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend. That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick, or quit and move on.
Quitting doesn’t have to mean totally giving up, though. For example, playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams. If you do decide to give up an activity, Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork, creativity, and exercise.

62. According to Paragraph 2, learning to let go is important because we can ______.
A. learn about perseverance
B. have enough money to spend
C. live a busier and fuller life

A. it’s not good to stick to things we don’t like
B. we should think twice before quitting an activity
C. we don’t have to take exams to show our true abilities
D. it’s wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one
