Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

            I’m 18 years old and have never played on a sports team before, so I never received lessons or training of any kind. I wish my parents had signed me up for soccer when I was younger because I discovered that I wanted to play sports. I just have no skills. There is a soccer team at my high school, but I definitely won’t make it. Most people on the team have probably been playing for years. I feel like I missed my chance and that I’ll never be as good as them. Is it too late for  me to learn to play from scratch? I just  figure that by the time I become “good”, I’ll be too old anyway. I tried teaching myself in the past, but it seemed too unorganized and I didn’t know what I was doing. Is there some places that teaches people of any age how to play soccer?
