These days it is found that school students hardly have any sports. Is it because they have no __41_ in sports? It may not be true. They often say they have   427   more important things to do.

What are these important things? Exams! They have to get themselves ready for all kinds of exams and tests in school, so many of them almost  _43_   bookworms. In the past in the summer holidays, they could do __44___ they like, but now they have to spend all their free time preparing for exams. So __45_ have kept them away from the sports.
