—Well, you
Dear Dad,
I know you are busy. You have a lot to do in the army but I'm hoping you can help me out anyway. I'm thinking of quitting (离开) the soccer team, and want to know your advice.
Don t be surprised. It's just that I have so much homework to do this year. If I play with the soccer team, I won't have enough time to finish my homework. And I'm the only man of the house while you are away, so I have more housework to do.
On the other hand, I've put in two years on the team. I love soccer more than any other sport in the world. I' m a really good player. And the coach (教练) says I will make captain (队长) soon. So I really don't want to quit.
Dad, what do you think? Should I try something new that will take less time? My friends on the soccer team are great. We will be friends to the end, but it will be cool to meet some new kids, right?
I miss you so much! Please write back to me soon.
Paolo

A. If you drink water when you exercise, you'll get headaches and feel tired. B. Evening is the best time to exercise as it's always cool. C.

E Girls who do strength training will make their muscles big. F. The best time to exercise is early in the morning. |
Today, people are paying more and more attention to improving their health through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.
In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Foods like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich in it, but chicken and meat are not. Carbohydrates are the best and most easily used form of energy. The energy that you get for today's game is from what you ate yesterday!
No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period suits you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. There is no fixed time for you to exercise.
The fact is that you must have some water during breaks when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don't drink enough water, then you'll probably get headaches and feel tired.
False. Exercising the same body part every day is the fastest way to cause problems. To improve strength, you want to work your muscles(肌肉) hard, but then you need to give those muscles a day of rest. Too much exercise can cause serious problems to muscles.
Wrong. We usually connect those big muscles with bodybuilders(健美运动员), but girls don't have enough male hormone(雄性激素) to make their muscles big like men. Strength training is a good way to make their muscles strong for girls.

Mobile phones are playing an important role in our life. Some people even say that they can't live without mobile phones. In the USA, some cities made a law (制定法律) on using mobile phones.

Every year, there are too many traffic accidents caused by (由……引起) people looking at their mobile phones. A lot of people were badly hurt or even died because of this. I think the new law will be helpful. There will be fewer accidents than before. The law can help to warn (警告) people not to use their mobile phones while they are walking across the street.

I don't think it will help people very much. Some people may have some important messages or emails. If they can't reply to them at once, they may miss something important.
