【推荐1】Below is the information about tennis and badminton that Natalie found on a website.

In the USA, tennis is a very popular racket sport. What you need for tennis are a racket for each player, a tennis ball and a tennis court. Tennis is played on a rectangle outdoor court.

However, it can also be played indoors to avoid the sunshine or the rain.

A tennis court is 78 feet long and 36 feet wide. There is a three-foot-tall net in the centre of the court. A racket is about 27-28 inches long and over 300 grams.

Tennis serves (发球) are overhead and underhand. If you can’t do it well for the first, you will have a second chance.

For people in the USA, badminton is a backyard (后院) activity more than a sport. The things you need to play badminton are a racket for each player, a single shuttlecock (羽毛球), a net and a badminton court. Just like tennis, it is also a racket sport on a rectangle court in an indoor gym. A badminton court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide. The net in a badminton court is about 5 feet tall. A badminton racket is about 26-27 inches long and 90 grams.

Badminton serves are underhand and below the waist (手腕). And if you hit the ball outside of the court or hit the net on the serve, you will lose the point.

It’s good for everyone to keep healthy (健康的) every day. Here are some things you can do to be healthy.

Get up early and go to bed early.     1     You should (应该) go to bed before ten o’clock and then get up at about six in the morning.

    2     It’s good to eat fruit and vegetables every day, because the healthy food is good for your health. And don’t forget to drink more water every day. Ice-cream and hamburgers taste good, but they can make you be fat.     3     And you must eat a healthy breakfast on time every morning.

Do some sports every day. Don’t say that you are always busy, and have no time to play sports. That’s just an excuse (借口). In the morning, you can run for 20 minutes. After work, you can play ball games with your friends.     4     When you’re free, just do sports!

Good friends make you happy. They can tell you how to be healthy, too.     5     And you can also make some good friends!

Motuo lies in the south of the Himalayas in Tibet. It is known as the “Natural Museum of Tibet”. It is home to different kinds of mountains, rivers, waterfalls, plants and animals. Its special geographic location makes it a beautiful place, but at the same time, one of the hardest places to reach. It was the last county (县) in China without a highway (公路).

The construction (建造) of the highway to Motuo started in the 1960s. However, it was not completed until over 50 years later. In 2013, the Motuo Highway was finally opened.

The highway is 117 kilometers long. To make it safer, the two-way highway is open in only one direction every other day. Although it doesn’t seem like a very well-built highway, it is still considered as a mega engineering project (超级工程项目). Why is that?

In this area, earthquakes and heavy rains happen very often. There could be falling rocks or even landslides (滑坡). People must build many walls and nets to protect the highway.

Another challenge is the snow. Large amounts of snow can sometimes destroy (摧毁) forests, rocks and roads. As a result, the construction of the highway to Motuo was stopped several times. To solve this problem, people built a tunnel (隧道) that goes through the snowy mountain area. Finally Motuo is no longer shut off from the world.

The highway is not only a way to connect Motuo to the outside world, but also a great chance for us to see how our country takes care of people in the far mountain areas. At the same time, it teaches us the Chinese spirit of “never giving up”.
