Scientists(科学家) find that music is important in preparing(准备) for a sports game. They say that listening to the right music helps people train hard(努力训练) and feel good after training. A lot of sportspeople now use music to help them prepare for sports games.
Listening to the right music is important for all of us. We all know that doing some exercise is important, but many of us don’t like doing it. Listening to music can make exercise more interesting, and help people keep doing it. Every evening I go running for exercise. Maybe I can make my exercise fun and easy this evening by listening to some music.

【推荐1】Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy? Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢) situation.
Plogging, a new way to exercise, began in Sweden(h), The name "plogging" comes from two words—the Swedish(瑞典的) word "plocka", which means "to pick up(捡起), and the word Jouging"", which means" to run slowly". A Swedish man called Erik started the movement, He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike anymore. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.
Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. Because many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里). According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.
Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It's time for us to take action together. So ready? Let's plog tomorrow!

The winter holiday is usually a good time to sleep in. But Gao Yuqi, a 14-year-old from Anhui, got up at 7 am to run at least 2 kilometers every day during the holiday.
Gao was not alone. Many schools across the country asked students to exercise during the winter holiday.
Because of this, Gao’s school Hefei 168 Taochonghu Lake Middle School now asks students to run on sunny days and exercise indoors if the weather is bad. Students have to post exercise photos in their classes’ QQ groups. At the Golden Apple Jincheng No.1 Secondary School in Chengdu, students have daily exercise plans.
This has been a big challenge for many students, but has also helped to make exercise a bigger part of their lives. Huang Zhicheng, a 14-year-old student at the same school as Gao, used to hate running.
Luo Zikun, a 12-year-old student at the Golden Apple school in Chengdu, fell in love with exercise during the holiday.

Conflict (冲突) happens when two people disagree because of their own goals, values, or beliefs. It’s not always as simple as an argument. Instead, conflict is what happens right before the argument; it’s what the two people disagree about before they start calling each other names.
What may cause conflict?
Parents and teenagers have many chances to experience conflict with one another. Teenage years are a time when independence and parental influence fight, since teens are able to think on their own but still live with parents who have rules and expectations for them. Teenagers don’t necessarily hold the same beliefs and values as their parents, and their goal to have fun often conflicts with their parents’ goal to keep them safe.
If kids don’t come back home at the time when they’re supposed to, their parents will get worried. A worried parent becomes a scolding (责骂的) parent. The conflict happens.
Sometimes, teens want to have noisy fun while their parents want to sleep. This is a common conflict that happens every day. Also, parents and teenagers usually prefer different types of music. So when parents don’t like the music the kids are listening to, they are more likely to tell them to turn it down. Then conflict begins.
This may not be totally true. However, one thing is for sure: parents might use the teenager’s exam results to judge (判断) him/her. Every time the parents’ expectations aren’t met, they will scold their kids. And the conflict happens.
How to deal with conflict?
See each other as friends in the common goals you agree on. Such goals usually include keeping teens safe and seeing them make success. Pay attention to these goals to avoid getting unsatisfied with each other.
List possible solutions to the conflict together. You can try listing creative ideas, whether they seem reasonable or not. Creativity is your friend when you’re solving any problem in life, including conflict with others.
1. What does the underlined phrase “calling each other names” mean?| A．Singing loudly to each other. | B．Speaking angrily to each other. |
| C．Making a call to someone. | D．Making someone feel at home. |
| A．They have different beliefs and values. | B．They live independent lives separately. |
| C．They hold common views on teenage years. | D．They don’t show much patience to each other. |
| A．By writing down creative ideas with parents. | B．By writing an article about different opinions. |
| C．By spending more time talking with parents. | D．By making parents change their opinions. |
| A．Activities. | B．Rules. | C．Relationship. | D．Possessions. |
【推荐2】Are the Olympic Games outdated? That might seem like a strange question. But it’s exactly what the International Olympic Committee (国际奥林匹克委员会) is considering. At the 2012 London Olympics, IOC President Thomas Bach noticed something. “You could see that the younger people did not have interest in watching the Games any more. They were not there.”
To change this, the IOC wants to make the Summer Olympics younger. But that isn’t as simple as just adding more sports. It’s impossible to always add new sports to the Olympics. It would become too much for host cities to deal with. The IOC asks host cities to choose the new sports and then the committee decides which ones can finally be added to that year’s games. The new sports would be included in that year’s Olympics only. The IOC has agreed to add baseball / softball, karate, skateboarding, sports climbing and surfing to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Though the 2020 Olympics have been postponed until next year because of COVID-19, we are still looking forward to them, especially to the new sports.
People are wondering what makes up an Olympic sport. Some people would like to see e-sports at the Olympics, because they are really popular. President Bach thinks video games with killing are not acceptable. One of the main principles (原则) of the Olympics is to encourage world peace. At the moment, the future of e-sports is still unclear.
What about the Winter Olympics? Not to worry. The IOC has already added seven new sports for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Winter Olympics’ situation is a little different. The Winter Olympics have less than half the sports of the Summer Olympics, so they have room to grow.
1. What did Thomas Bach notice after the 2012 London Olympics?| A．Some sports were less popular. |
| B．There were fewer young players at the Olympics. |
| C．Young people were not interested in the Olympics. |
| A．延期 | B．取消 | C．整改 |
| A．What the influence of COVID-19 is. |
| B．How a new sport is added to the Olympics. |
| C．Why the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo are put off. |

It seems less common for children to get a bedtime story before sleeping from parents in Britain. A new study said that around a third of parents do not read bedtime stories to their children. The study also found that up to 50 percent of children would prefer to watch TV or play computer games rather than read a story. Researchers even discovered that most of British under-sevens do not even own a book. Parents came up with many kinds of reasons why they did not read to their children. Thirteen percent of parents said they had no time, nine percent said they were just too stressed, while others said their children were simply not interested in reading.
Some people tried to change the situation. They have started a bedtime story writing competition for children under seven. Ms. Hamilton, 31, told reporters, “I’m really excited to see all the different story ideas and can’t wait to see what the kids come up with. Choosing a winner is not easy.” She spoke about her own joy as a mother in reading bedtime stories, saying, “As a mum of three, I know just how enjoyable reading bedtime stories to my kids is.” A spokesman said, “We appreciate how important it is for parents and kids to spend quality (高质量的) time together, and bedtime stories are a great way to do just this.”
