Fred had something important to tell his family. Everyone in his family was asked to sit at the dinner table and listen.
“I’m going to take part in the Olympics.” he said.
“Can a fourth-grader do that?” asked Anna, his younger sister.
“I’m not going now. I’ll go when I’m a little older. “Fred shook his head. “I’ve studied how the athletes(运动员) become the best. That is practice. If I practice hard enough, I can’t fail.”
“Sounds like a big challenge,” said Dad. “Which sport will you take up?”
“I haven’t made up my mind yet,” said Fred.
After a month’s practice, Fred got hurt again and again when he tried to find out which sport was for him. He tried different kinds of sport, such as running, jumping, badminton and so on. But at last he stopped practicing. “It’s too difficult. I don’t think I can find a sport right for me,” Fred talked to himself.
The following Sunday, the family sat down for dinner as usual.
“I’ve decided not to play a sport,”said Fred.
Everyone was surprised.
“You’re giving up on your Olympic dream?” said Anna.
“I didn’t say I was giving up,” said Fred. “I’m still going to the Olympics.”
Anna looked puzzled. “How can you go if you don’t do a sport?”
Fred held up a book titled Is Sports Medicine the Career for You? “Over the past few weeks, I’ve discovered that athletes need much medical help. So I am going to become a sports doctor. I’ll still go to the Olympics—but as a doctor, not an athlete.”
Fred answered confidently.
“Now that is another challenge, Fred!” said Dad. “I’m sure you would do as well as you can to realize your dream.”

【推荐2】Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. It brings us sweet-smelling flowers, fresh fruit and vegetables. But you can get more from your garden.
Gardening helps to keep healthy. Today’s people sit indoors for too long and don’t get much exercise. When you garden, you have to move around. It’s a good chance for you to exercise your body by watering flowers or doing some digging. Also, when you are in your garden, you can feel the warm sunshine. This means you are getting Vitamin D. It helps your bodies use calcium(钙), which is necessary to keep your bones(骨骼) strong.
Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them off computers, televisions and phones. Gardening can be a great teacher to teach children about nature and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the meaning of “No pains, no gains.”
Gardening is a great way to meet people and build relationships. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and so do gardeners. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.

【推荐3】You can't look good if you're not healthy. And one way to be healthy is to do exercise.
Football, tennis, volleyball and swimming are all good for you. Muscle exercise is also important. You can exercise at school or at home. Boys can do push-ups and girls can do sit-ups.
But there are some Don'ts here: First, stay away from weight lifting. It's bad for you, because it gives too much stress to your body and you can't grow tall if you practice often. You should exercise for about an hour a day, and three days a week. On the other days, don't exercise too much. Exercising too much is not a good idea. Don't go running for a long time. Running for a long time makes you tired. Don't stay up late to do exercise. Don't want fast results. Your muscles will grow when you get older. If you want to be healthy and strong, exercise and healthy food are the best way. But don't think you can make it in one day.

【推荐1】It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was unhappy about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and two children.
One child said he had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child said she had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough I checked their information-no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency (急诊)”.
We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to satisfy the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angel.”
