3 . The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional (职业化的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than £30,000 a year. The stars can earn a lot more. International golf (高尔夫球) and tennis champions (冠军) can make more than £500,000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals (个人), like golf, tennis and motor racing (赛车). Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (做广告) than from sports.As an advertisement for sports equipment doesn’t simply say “Buy our things.” It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sports are no longer just something for people’s spare time.

As the proverb goes, “Good habits benefit from you all your life. ” Enter high school, I was crazy about fast food and ate too much. In consequence, I was too heavily overweight that I suffered a lot from my awkward appearance. Bad still, my classmates play jokes on me at times. From then on, I made up my mind to avoid snacks and to take up jogging to lose weights. Because of the timely change, it was not long after I did succeed in creating my new image. Only then did I realize the importance of forming good habit. To be honest, the change in our habit means a lot to me, that is good for my success and helps me regain confidence.

7 . My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic".
The idea that I was “not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner".

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Canyoning (蹦谷运动)
The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.
It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.tyf.com) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs £50 (£30 for children under 16).
Diving (潜水)
Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills.
Surfing (冲浪)
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are warmer.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.
Rock climbing
The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, while large areas of Scotland are a climber’s ideal place. Climbing courses and climbing walls can be found on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878, www.thebmc.co.uk) which offers a series of short films that take the new climber through a step-by-step guide to visiting a climbing wall for the first time.
