Benefits of Sports

Doing sports is a physical, mental and social adventure. It's a great way for children to take a break from academics and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve overall well-being.

The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious. Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you'll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you're involved.  Basketball players focus on strength training; football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs. The training process helps promote physical fitness and performances in competitions. 

  Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really boosts a child's confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth.  So after a game, it's a better idea to ask "Did you enjoy the game?" rather than "Did you win?"

Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up accountability and leadership.  Teamwork involves both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork breeds accountability and challenges you to be responsible for your actions. Being part of a team gives you an opportunity to be a leader.

Discipline is another social advantage. Most organized sports require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, you need to balance academics and athletics.

 There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to get involved in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving! 

A. It's not just your body that benefits from sports.

B. Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.

C. But remember, a child's self-worth should not be distinguished by victory or loss.

D. If you play group sports, you'll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.

E. Nearly every sport requires physical activities and the skills needed to be competitive.

F. Among these, learning how to function as part of a team is the most important advantage.

G. Only with strict discipline can you be successful both in the classroom and in the sports field.

How to write a Letter to Parents

    As a teacher, one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents.  Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this. If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.

    Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem.  Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin(言辞), because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is “start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”.

    Share the problem with the parents. Express your concern and desire to help.  Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution to the problem.

     You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. If you do not hear from them, you should call them. Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.

    Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter.

A. Ask for a response.

B. Respect parents and never quarrel with them.

C. Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.

D. Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.

E. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may hate this action.

F. You can do this by pointing out a little progress the child has made recently.

G. With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home.

    Running is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. Given that it's so easy to take up the sport, a lot of beginners jump right into running without actually knowing what it takes to establish a healthy routine.. If you are just starting out, avoid the following things to help you increase your chances of running success.

    Doing too much too soon

    One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is doing too much too soon. Picking up a new hobby like running is no doubt exciting. Runners need to ease into the sport before increasing the distance..

    .

    Beginners might think they need to run nearly every day to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn't be further from the truth. , especially for beginners whose muscles and bones haven't  yet been conditioned for such intense (剧烈的) exercise. So it's important to give your body ample rest between workouts. Follow a training plan that includes rest days.

    Comparing yourself to others

    . You're excited about running, so you are probably reading running blogs, magazines and message boards where you might start to feel inadequate about your own running pace. Instead of getting down on yourself, remember that every runner was once a beginner and use their success as motivation!

A. Not taking rest days

B. Not running every day

C. As mentioned, a healthy routine is what they attach importance to

D. Running is a demanding activity which can be really hard on your body

E. When starting out with running, it's tough not to compare yourself to others

F. It will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue with your new running routine

G. Many make a number of common mistakes, which can interfere (干扰) with training or lead to injury

    There have been a number of occasions through the years that I had to sit at the feet of a theologian (神学家).Some of those times, I came away wondering what on earth the man was talking about. That was not the case when I heard Dr. Randy Harris. He suggested that a lot of our day-to-day problems in the world be solved by simply keeping our promises. Too many people do not take such matters seriously. Are you serious in keeping your promises?

    Some of my most anxious moments in over a half-century of ministry have come as a result of carelessness in failing to keep my word. Preachers (传道士) can say a lot of requests on any given Sunday. I have been asked to make hospital visits, write letters of recommendation(推荐), put people's names on the prayer list, read books, make telephone calls, remember birthdays and anniversaries, come to special events, and put announcements in the church bulletin (公告).There was a time when I would foolishly agree to fulfill each request. I had the best of intentions, but I could not remember all I had agreed to do, much less find a way to do them all! Did I think I was “Super-Preacher”? The sad look of disappointed faces taught me that I was not. I hurt people, and they deserved better.

    The Hebrew word of covenant (契约) means primarily “a cutting”. It refers to the custom of cutting an animal in half and having the parties making promises pass between the two halves. They were saying to each other  “If I don't keep my word, may I be as this animal--be cut in two.”

    If butchering (屠宰) were the result of breaking our word today, how many of us would be headed for the death? I think that, although we are not cut like animals for our failures to keep promises, there are serious results connected with our carelessness. It ruins our character and our reputation.

    What can we do? It is simple. Stop making promises we cannot keep. Reduce promise lists, and be sure to carry out the commitments that remain on it. If after giving our word, we are unable to keep the appointment or whatever, inform and apologize as soon as possible.

    Last weekend, I stood with a dressed-up couple at a wedding in another county. They made some serious promises to each other in a covenant of marriage. They made vows to be faithful to each other for as long as they live. I pray God that they will keep those vows and be an example for others to follow.

  1. (1) From the second paragraph we can learn that the author________.
    A . lives a life of religious service B . dislikes making any promise C . is a famous and busy theologian D . likes to recommend jobs for others
  2. (2) The author mentioned the custom of cutting an animal in half mainly to ________ .
    A . show butchering is cruel B . explain the meaning of covenant C . express his disappointment with old customs D . show breaking one's promises is terrible
  3. (3) The author was a bit ________ about the new couple's vows.
    A . upset B . concerned C . sad D . uneasy

    Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book Crossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

    Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public lace hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

    Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both."

    Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

    People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

    BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

  1. (1) Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
    A . To explain what they are. B . To introduce BookCrossing. C . To stress the importance of reading. D . To encourage readers to share their ideas.
  2. (2) What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
    A . The book. B . An adventure. C . A public place. D . The identification number.
  3. (3) What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
    A . Meet other readers to discuss it. B . Keep it safe in his bookcase. C . Pass it on to another reader. D . Mail it back to its owner.
  4. (4) What is the best title for the text?
    A . Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B . Electronic Books: A new Trend C . A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D . A Website Links People through Books

On Sept 15, 2021, the night sky in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US, lit up and the rumble (隆隆声) of engines of a 70-meter-tall Falcon 9 rocket set off car alarms. Atop that rocket was a group of four civilians in a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft prepared to make history.

This is the first mission to Earth's orbit crewed (当工作人员) entirely by tourists, or those not professionally trained as astronauts. For three days, the four civilians aboard the spacecraft traveled in orbit around Earth as part of the mission dubbed (被称为) Inspiration4. The name of the mission itself is fitting.

In late 2020, the mission leader Jared Isaacman, a billionaire tech entrepreneur, announced that he would like to fund a spaceflight that differed from other billionaire space journeys. His would be part of an effort to raise funds for St Jude Children's Hospital.

"He knew he would be using those seats to carry out his mission objective of inspiring humanity while raising money for children's cancer research," Scientific American wrote. In addition to Issacman, the crew included 29-year-old Hayley Arceneux, who is not only a childhood cancer survivor, but a current St. Jude physician assistant; Sin Procotor, 51, a geologist and community college teacher; and Chris Sembroski, a 42-year-old lifelong space fan who got his seat through an online raffle (抽奖活动), CNN reported.

This particular Dragon spacecraft did not visit the International Space Station, but it did reach 590 kilometers above Earth. This is "higher than the current orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope, an altitude that humans haven't reached since the Hubble servicing missions during the space shuttle program".

While there is certainly a long way to go before SpaceX achieves its goal of ferrying civilians to Mars at an accessible price, this mission is definitely making its mark on space travel—all for a good cause. According to CNN, at a press briefing on Sept 14, Sembroski told reporters that joining the Inspiration4 mission felt like "we're writing the rules, we're breaking a couple of them that NASA used to demand...We get to kind of do things our own way."

  1. (1) What does the article tell us about Inspiration4?
    A . It's the first mission to take four people to Earth's orbit. B . It aims to reach the orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope. C . It is crewed by both tourists and professional astronauts. D . It aims to inspire people and raise funds for a hospital
  2. (2) What is a disadvantage of SpaceX?
    A . Its price. B . Its equipment. C . Its carrying capacity. D . Its highest flight altitude.
  3. (3) What's the main purpose of the article?
    A . To encourage civilians to travel to space. B . To report on a significant journey to space. C . To introduce the development of Inspiration4. D . To present the advantages of the Dragon spacecraft.
