When I was a child, I played handball in a team. I stopped _________ it after one year. I never did any kind of sports from then on.

I’m 28 years old now. I _________ running about two years ago. When I started to run I stopped smoking. My first run was terrible. I couldn’t run 300 meters _________ taking a rest. I wanted to stop because I thought running was a _________ idea and yet I did my second run.

On a special day I decided to join in a city run with a distance of 5 kilometers. I started to run 3 times every _________. My skills got better. I _________ progress with every run. I reached my goal(目标). I finished the _________ kilometers in 26 minutes.

After one year and a half   I’m very _________ being able to run a half-marathon(半程马拉松). I never thought that I would do this _________, but I did it. My new sport goal is to __________ a full marathon in the next years. Every healthy person should be able to do this. You only need to leave your comfortable zone(舒适带).

An eight-year-old boy in China wanted to spend time with his father before the summer holidays ended so much that he sent a letter to his father’s boss.

The boy’s dad was unable to take time off because he was very busy with work. So the child from Beijing decided to take action on July 25, writing a note to his dad’s boss which is popular on Chinese social media（社交网络）.

The father who works in IT says his son handed him the note on July 25 before he went to work. It says: “To dad’s boss, my friend Xiao Ming is with his father and mother travelling during the summer vacation. I also want to go out to play but my father said he is busy with work. Can you give my dad a few days off? Xiao Ming said that people who do not travel in summer are stupid.”

The father says he planned to take his son to Yunnan and Sichuan provinces however he has too much work to do. He has no time to keep his promise till now. But on the day receiving the note, he made up his mind to take a few days’ leave and take his son to have a trip.
