1 . One out of three kids in our country are now considered obese (过度肥胖的) . Life is different now from when we grew up. The days of allowing our children to ride their bikes and play outside are nearly gone. With the average kid spending seven hours a day on all screen media combined (TV, videos, DVDs, computer time outside of schoolwork, and video games) , our children are not getting the minimum requirement of one hour of exercise per day that they need.

This needs to be changed, but where do we start?

We lead by example.

If you don’t work out, your children most likely won’t either. Children will mimic what you do more than they’ll ever listen to what you say. How many times have you thought, “My child is just like me?”

Many of us wait to have the perfect time to exercise, but we need to deliberately make the time. If necessary, exercising for 10 minutes three times a day is a great way to get started. After all, some activity is always better than none.       

A great way to ensure that your whole family benefits from fitness activities is to do activities that your whole family can do together. You can take walks after dinner, play in the backyard, put on a Zumba video and dance with your kids, sign your children and yourself up for classes at the local gym, and hike, bike, and swim on the weekends.        

I know you’re busy. But we all get the same 24 hours in a day, and we need to make them count. The excuse of “I don’t have enough time” is a very real one, but with awareness (意识) of our time management and planning, we can all do better. Organize your life, live by a schedule, and model the behavior you want to see in your children.

3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Mr. Tai, the teacher in charge of sports at Sarasota High School in Florida, had just celebrated his 58th birthday—an age at which many would think seriously of retiring (退休). However, it was not so with Mr. Tai. He had an outstanding record of athletic achievements in leading the school’s sports team. Some of the students he had trained had become national runners. The school board agreed he continued to work as they did not want to lose the services of so meone who had successfully led the school sports tea m to the finals of the National Athletics   Championships.

In the year before, however, the school team did not get as many medals in the National Athletics Championships as expected. Mr. Tai’s hopes were fired this year by two promising star athletes, Farid and Hassan, who happened to be twins.

In the school’s sports meeting, Farid broke the school’s twenty-year record for the 100meters event. His brother, Hassan, was just a second behind. Since Hassan had an ankle (踝关节) injury, Mr.Tai decided to submit (提交) only Farid’s name to the finals of the National Athletics Championships. On the day he submitted the results of the best runner in the school, he mistakenly wrote Hassan’s name instead, without noticing it.

When Mr.Tai received the list of the finalists (参加决赛者) in event, he was quite surprised and immediately he realized that he had made the mistake. However, it was too late to inform the sports secretariat (秘书处). Apart from that, pride also did not allow him to admit his mistake at that moment. Therefore, He decided to inform Farid’s brother, Hassan, and start to train him in the final preparations for this event.
