    Do you like sports? Do you1tennis, basketball or baseball2school?

    I'm Alex, and my3name is Green.4kids are in my family. We like sports. My brother Ian and I are in the5class. We can play basketball and soccer together. Ian is tall and strong (又高又壮), so it's6for him to play basketball. But for me, it's very difficult. I7a sister and she's only 9. She likes ping-pong. We always play ping-pong after school, and it's8. I think it's relaxing to play9. In the evening, we can10some sports games on TV. I love sports and I'm happy.

    It is never easy to admit(承认) you are in the wrong. We all 1to know the art of apology. Think how often you have done wrong. Then count how many 2you have expressed clearly you were 3. You can't go to bed with an easy mind if you do 4about it.

    A doctor friend, Mr. Lied, told me about a man who came to him with different kinds of signs: headache, heart trouble and insomnia(失眠). 5some careful exams, Mr. Lied found nothing wrong with him and said, "if you don't tell me what's 6you, I can't help you."

    The man admitted he was cheating his brother of his inheritance(遗产). Then the clever doctor7the man to write his brother and 8his money. As soon as the letter was put into the post box, the man suddenly cried: "Thank you," he said to the doctor, "I think I have got well."

    An apology can not only save a broken relationship(关系) but also make it 9. If you can think of someone who should be 10an apology from you, do something about it right now.

    Getting into the habit of giving and receiving helps build good relationships(关系).

    It makes us feel more care. It stops stress(压力)from building because we know someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we're sharing it before it gets too big. It just feels great to help.

    Try these small things at home, and see how they make you feel:

    ⑴Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.

    ⑵Help your mom prepare dinner.

    ⑶Help your dad carry living goods.

    ⑷Offer to do a chore that is not usually yours.

    There is more to it than just feeling good: kindness is contagious(有感染力的). It can create more kindness, so you might start to notice your friends reaching out to help more.

    Just don't fail into the trap(陷阱) of expectation. If we help out only because we expect other persons to do something in return(回报), we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of feeling satisfied and happy. So decide to help simply because of helpful feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you, it is a wonderful surprise.

    Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supportive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we are better able to solve problems, bounce(弹) back from disappointments and try again.

    Jack's friend Sally isn't fine these days.

    One day she asks Jack for help. And she tells (告诉) Jack about her eating habits. For breakfast, she always eats some bread. For lunch, she always has some chicken. She likes eating ice-cream and a hamburger in the evening.

    "They're not healthy for you, Sally," Jack says.

    "I know, but I like them," Sally says.

    "What about vegetables? Do you like eating carrots?" Jack asks.

    "No, I don't," Sally says.

    "Sally, don't eat ice-cream. You must eat some vegetables and fruit. They are good for you." Jack says.

    "I think you're right," Sally says.

    In the next days, Sally always eats vegetables and fruit. And she is well now.
