A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals (专业人员). If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore (酸痛的) the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?

There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.

Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates (队友） and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.

Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.

Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.

You’re probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun.

Australia is one of the largest island countries in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is early as large as that of Shanghai.

Enough laws（法律）have been made to fight against pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well, too.

Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flower exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring, Perth has the wild flower exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town you will find yourself in the middle of the white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.

Last week, my friend Liu Lei came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad's computer. I was worried,     61    (连词)I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for     62    (he)work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks something will go wrong if I play    63    (game)on it.

Well, while my dad was out, we decided to    64    (try)out Liu Lei's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished     65    (play), we took it off the computer. However, when I    66    (start)the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was     67    (real) angry. He could no longer find the important documents anywhere.

I did not tell him about    68    (冠词)computer game because I did not want him to be angry    69    (介词)me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer repair     70    (shop)can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game?

Should I pay to repair it?

“绿色” 不仅仅是一种颜色。 It means that you should live to protect the environment (环境)—the water, the land and the air. You can be a green kid by following these steps.

Reduce (减少）it.

When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth. For example, a shorter shower means you use less water. Turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth.

Reuse it.

Many times, even if you don’t need something, someone else might just need it. For example, if your younger sister doesn’t play with her toy bear, you can give it to your neighbour. Try to change books, toys, even clothes with friends.

Enjoy it.

It is true that pollution is a great problem now. But the Earth is still a beautiful and interesting place to explore (探索) . Go or a hike (远足) , visit nature centers, and gardens, climb mountains and take a boat in the rivers…Outdoor activities are good for you. You can also plant trees, collect reusable (可重复使用的) things... Being a green kid is so easy.
