8 . As children grow up, they will likely be drawn to participate in sports. But not all children will be interested in or successful at every sports experience. Some children tend to join in team sports while others will prefer individual sports.     1     So how can parents help their child pick a most suitable sport? Here’s How:

    2    

A child’s interest in a given sport is the best determiner of whether he or she will enjoy it as a participant. So expose the child to a wide variety of sports experiences. Talk with them about what they like and dislike about each sport.

    3    

As you check out the various sports, see if you can tell which of them seems most interesting to the child. Listen to your child for signs about their preferences. Maybe they will talk about the players, the skills, or they will tell others about the experience. If you watch and listen, you can pick up what interests them most.

Find out: team or individual?

Some children will prefer to participate in a team sport like football, baseball or basketball in which they play a role in a team.     4     Sports like these include swimming, tennis or golf. Or they may simply enjoy individual sports like cycling and gymnastics. As you observe your child, try to find out what their preferences are.     5    

A．Watch out for signs of enthusiasm.

B．Expose the child to a variety of sports.

C．Match the sport to your child’s body type.

D．Some body types are better suited to some sports than others.

E．Others will prefer being on a team where their own skills matter most.

F．Make sure that the child has a physical exam before participating in sports actively.

G．These observations will help you focus on the sport that will work best for your child.

Brief

MINI Living is a project that aims to translate the creative use of space into real architectural solutions for how people live, work and interact in cities.

We are looking for conceptual designs for the future of urban living, which propose innovative solutions that make the most of available space. In addition, we are asking entrants (参赛者) to consider what other challenges cities could face in 100 years’ time and for their urban home concept to respond creatively to those issues as well. Proposals can be for any city around the world, but submitted designs must demonstrate creative use of space and entrants will need to explain how their entries solve the issues they foresee cities will face in 100 years’ time.

Who can enter?

The competition is free to enter to anyone, from anywhere around the world, as long as they are at least 18 years old. Professional designers, studios, non-designers, students and teams are all invited to participate.

10 . Many of us feel anger throughout the course of our daily lives.    1     If you find yourself getting angry often, yoga can help you to manage the feeling while you are at work or at home. It can help both calm you down when you feel angry and manage anger in the long term.

Develop a regular practice. Practicing yoga regularly will go a long way toward helping you manage your anger. Try to go to class or practice a routine at least three times a week. Practice for an hour to an hour and a half when possible.    2    

Join a class if you are a beginner. Sometimes it can be helpful for beginners to practice yoga with others to know the types of routines they can try.    3     However, if you have a competitive personality, practicing in a group might be bad for your efforts.

    4     Focus on the breath is the central part of yoga practice. It is necessary to focus on your breath to get the most out of the yoga poses you are trying. Take your time, and continue the exercise until you feel calmer.

Keep yoga journals. Keeping a yoga journal allows you to see over time how yoga is affecting your anger. It can also be a place to show the pleasure and frustrations (挫折) of yoga after your regular practice.    5    

A．Practice focusing on your breath.

B．You need to go to a class to practice basic yoga.

C．In the long term, it will be good for your heart.

D．In addition, writing can reduce the levels of your anger.

E．Exercise can be a great daily treatment for the bad feeling.

F．If you can’t, even 10 to 20 minutes of yoga at a time can bring down stress levels.

G．It is also helpful to reduce anger if you are feeling the support of the group when practicing.
