If sports are something that interests you, you must want to know how to be good at them. Succeeding at a sport takes skill.     1     Skill alone may take you far, but you’ll never go all the way without the right attitude and team spirit. The following tips can help you be a better sports player

Join a sports team. If you’re interested in sports, joining a team is a good way to start.     2     You are likely to develop friendships with at least some of your team members. Besides, even if your skills are low, joining a team will improve your skills.

Set big but realistic (现实的) goals for yourself. This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and decide where you think you would like to be.     3    

Be a good sport. Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed.     4     If you fail in a match, accept the loss and show respect to other players for their victory. Treat loss as a learning experience. Find out what you did wrong, and then try to improve it for the next game.

    5     It’s possible to get so crazy about winning that you forget why you want to be good at the very beginning. Not taking the time to enjoy the sport you play results in a fast burnout. Whether you’re practising or playing a competition, remember it is the joy that matters.

A．Let yourself have fun.

B．Stay focused on the competition.

C．Exercising with others is very enjoyable and encouraging.

D．In order to be truly great, you need to be positive towards failure.

E．Break a big goal down into small parts, and achieve them step by step.

F．However, other things should be considered if you want to be a good sports player.

Welcome to the Amazon rainforest. As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays an important role in keeping the balanced ecosystem (生态系统) on the Earth. With an area of around 6 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. This area has a great many species (物种). Actually, one in ten known species in the world can be found here.

Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon. There are different levels in the forest. At the bottom is a system of roots under the ground. Above that is leaf litter on the dark forest floor. The next level is made up of shorter plants with large leaves. Then there are the towering ancient hardwoods, and finally the tops of the trees which are taller than any other level of trees in the forest. Each level of the forest forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things.

More than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals (哺乳动物) hide among the forest’s plant life. This jaguar is one example. While a large number of jaguars survive here, they are only one part of this forest's food chain (食物链). They feed on at least 87 species, including frogs. These frogs, in turn, feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit.

The Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine. What’s more, the Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by producing over 20 percent of all the Earth’s oxygen (O₂). So it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.

8 . Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight (视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.

On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.

The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent (永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.

I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.
