6 . In Grade 7, my bodily training trainer watched me, as I attempted to leap up and touch a marker on the wall. “You’re doing fairly______in my class,” he commented. Then came the critical reminder, “For somebody with no potential anyway.”

In high school, I______the honor roll youngsters who climbed mountains in their spare time. But I wasn’t______for a single team. I was bookish and inactive, and that self-image remained with me for my whole life. I found working in my 20s, and I______the solitude(独处)-without the concern of ______teammates or failing. I always assigned a higher______to mental pursuits over bodily ones.

7 . Community sports teams provide great ways for players of all ages to have fun and socialize while they keep their skills sharp and get some exercise. If you can’t find one in your area, you can start one yourself.     1    

Do your research.

    2     If you find that you are the first in your community to recognize such a need, ensure that you can find enough local interest in your sport. You can invite one or two to join you in forming a preliminary leadership team.

Establish a budget.

To figure out what expenses (支出) you’ll need to cover, think about everything you’ll need to set up for your first game: Do you need to pay for using the facilities?     3     Once you’ve laid out all of your costs, try to find out what revenues (收入) you’ll need to cover your expenses.

Create a league of your own.

It might seem like overkill to draft some legal documents if all you want to do is meet up with some friends for a game on Sunday mornings.     4     Playtime goes much more smoothly if everyone agrees to the same rules before the game begins.

Plan for the future.

Consider getting and training new volunteers and keep young players coming in to replace those lost to busy careers or family responsibilities.     5     There might be a possibility of you deciding to quit.

9 . These days, videos of “ diving grandpas” from north China’s Tianjin are popular on the Internet. In the videos, they jumped off the Shizilin Bridge into the 7-meter-deep Haihe River. However, on Wednesday, they announced that they would give up the sport.

With an average age of 60, the diving grandpas have much experience in diving. They started as a group of local diving lovers. They went swimming in the city’s rivers, and later they tried their hand at diving. The hobby has now lasted for more than thirty years.

Videos on the Internet have drawn lots of tourists from across the country to the Shizilin Bridge over the Haihe River, where “diving grandpas” perform diving. However, some inexperienced divers, trying to follow“ diving grandpas”, have met with accidents and got themselves injured. Some of the grandpas have begun volunteering to keep order for the crowds that come to see the performance on the bridge. However, accidents still continued to happen. As reported, members of the Blue Sky Rescue team in Tianjin said that they rescued 14 people at the risk of drowning or other injury in just two days.

The grandpas then made a difficult decision. They stopped diving off the bridge. They also prevented inexperienced locals and children as well as tourists from diving from the bridge . The grandpas welcomed the tourists to Tianjin, especially pointing out the other great places of interest and delicious food around the Shizilin Bridge.

10 . Patriotic Zhang Weili won her historic fighting championship in Shenzhen on August 31, 2019. The 30-year-old fighter from Hebei Province produced a huge upset to knock out Brazilian Jessica Andrade and became China’s first UFC world champion.

Zhang entered the straw weight bout as a big loser to Andrade, who is tied with the most UFC wins(11) by a woman. However, after a series of devastating knee kicks and punches(重拳), Andrade was floored in the 42nd second of the first round and the challenger was declared winner by TKO. “Last year in Beijing I vowed(发誓)to become the first Chinese champion, and I did it!” said Zhang. “As a Chinese, I feel so proud. Today, I want to dedicate this victory to my motherland,” she added.

UFC boss Dana White declared Zhang “the most vicious woman on the planet right now” and revealed he is already planning the new champion’s next fight in the United States. Zhang appealed to White to smooth out some reasonable concerns she has about a US fight. “Please make sure all my corners can come because last time they couldn’t come for visa issues,” she said. “But all my coaches are here with me, supporting me and I won the belt.”

With six years’ experience in UFC, Andrade has a reputation for crucially seeing off opponents. But Zhang, who is known for her fierce “buzz saw” attacking style, never allowed Andrade to get going. “I think the keys to my win were my calm mindset and the strategy defined by my coaches. All the strategies were practical and predicted every move to help me seize every opportunity,” Zhang said.

She was the first Chinese fighter to even get a title shot from the UFC, which is now pushing hard into a Chinese market where interest in MMA is growing rapidly. Afterwards, Zhang hoped to inspire more young Chinese women to take up MMA and to be a source of inspiration for women, both in MMA and everyday life.
