I am interested at swimming very much. At first, I went swimming just to keep health. Now my dream was to swim for my country in the Olympics. Though practicing in the pool is very bored, but I still work very hard in order to realize my dream. Because my hard work, I have already come first in much important competitions. In the competitions, I’ve made a lot of friend and we’re very close. It’s much easier to have friends which are swimmers because they also have to get up early to practice like you and they understand this kind of life.
3 . Modern Olympics
In the modern Olympics, some things are the same no matter which country is hosting, and some things change. For example, the Olympic symbol is always the same. The five rings stand for the five continents united together. The blue ring stands for Europe, the red ring for America, the yellow ring for Asia, the green ring for Australia and the black ring for Africa.
The Olympic motto, “Faster, Higher, Stronger,” stays the same for every Olympics. And of course, the torch — a symbol of peace, light and friendship — is always there.
However, some things are different. The Olympic slogan, for example, is created by the host city, and it reflects the spirit of those Olympics. Do you remember the slogan for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games? It was “One world, One dream”.
Each host country creates its own mascot and song. The Olympic mascot is often an animal with a national feature. The Olympic songs are always popular around the world. Do you remember the song “You and Me”? It touched many people’s hearts.
Some things have stayed the same, and somethings have changed over the years. But one thing has always been the same — to do the best and to compete fairly.

4 . Five tips for safe running
We all know that exercise is good for our health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems.
Running is good exercise, but it can be hard on the body.
Take it easy. Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries (受伤) when they push themselves too bad. The body needs time to get used to increase in distance or speed.
Listen to your body. Most running injuries do not come unexpectedly (意外地).
They may include body aches, sore muscles (肌肉) and pain that does not go away.
Take good notes. Take time after each run to write down what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over again. These notes will help you find the best exercise for you.
Cross train. As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say, besides running, swimming, yoga, and riding a bicycle are good exercises.
| A．Get good running shoes. |
| B．Here are five ideas to reduce the risk of injury. |
| C．Muscles and joints (关节) need time to recover. |
| D．Running may also help you live longer |
| E．These exercises are easier on the body. |
| F．Usually, there are warning signs. |
| G．As advertisements for the running shoe Nike say, “just do it.” |
5 . Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (有体育精神的人) respect their teammates and also their opponents. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.
Kids usually learn sportsmanship good and bad from the adults in their lives.
Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.
So be a good sport in whatever you do!
| A．Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways. |
| B．However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect. |
| C．Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow. |
| D．We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them. |
| E．Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old. |
| F．If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom. |
| G．The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others. |

7 . My brother and I often fight with each other over small things. One day our father said to us, “Tomorrow we will take part in the Ray Home Sports Day. Both of you must go with me. Perhaps you can learn something from those children.” My brother laughed, “Dad, Ray is a home for physically disabled children. What can we learn from them?”
“You will see,” our father said.
Our father works as a volunteer at Ray. The children there have problems with their hands, speech, walking or hearing. Every day, he spends hours helping them to move or exercise their legs or arms.
The following day, he took us to Ray Home. When we got there, we found a nice place to sit down. Finally, the sports began. There was a 50-meter race to see who could run fastest. All the runners were physically disabled. As the race started, all the children moved as fast as they could. Just then, one of the girls fell over and hurt her leg. She began to cry at the top of her voice.
All the children stopped to help the poor girl. Then they all held hands and finished the race together. My brother and I were surprised to see this: the children weren’t interested in winning the race－they were more interested in helping each other to finish the race.

9 . A one-armed 13-year-old basketball player in a video moves China. He is Zhang Jiacheng, from Guangdong Province. In the video, facing a taller, stronger, and older opponent (对手), he isn’t afraid at all.
Attracted by his good skills in the video, many people even fail to know that Zhang Jiacheng has only one arm. Although the young boy lost one of his arms in an accident, he became crazy about playing basketball at 12. “Work hard or just give up,” he always says. Thus, he spent all of his free time on it without considering his body condition.
People’s attention has encouraged him to work harder towards his goal — to become a top basketball player. “I just keep practising every day to improve myself, whether at home or in the playground,” he says, “My biggest challenge (挑战) is to control the ball much better.” After only a year of hard practicing, Zhang Jiacheng has improved his skills greatly. Through patience, confidence and determination, the young basketball player is getting closer to his life goal.
