🔬 Scientists Did a Study

How do I know that? 🤔
Well, some 👨‍🔬 scientists at an 🇺🇸 American university told us.

First, they asked people questions ❓
They wanted to know:

• Are they hard workers? 💼
• Are they brave? 🦸
• Do they give up easily? 😞

美國科學家👨‍🔬問了一些人覺得自己有多💼用功、🦸多勇敢、❌多不容易放棄。

Then, the scientists looked at the answers 📋
and checked which people were tough 💪.

After that, they asked if the people played sports 🏃‍♂️⚽🏀.

They found that people who play sports are tougher than people who do not play sports! ⭐

他們發現🏃‍♂️有在運動的人比沒有運動的人還更💪堅強。
