Question

1. Write the summary of the following passage in about 60 words:
Like every other instrument that man has invented, sports can be used either for good or evil purposes. Used well, it can teach endurance and courage, a sense of fair play and a respect for rules, coordinated effort and the subordination of personal vanity and those of the group vanity, greedy desire for victory and hatred for rivals. In either case, sports teach responsible cooperation; but when it is used badly, the cooperation is for undesirable ends and the result upon the individual character is an increase of attachment. Sports can be either a preparation for war or, in some measure, a substitute for war; a trainer of potential war-mongers or of potential peace-lovers.​
