Sports Day was getting close in the school. All the children were very excited and were practicing for the big race. John, one of the fast runners of the school, was confident that he would win for he was not doing anything at all. “You have to work hard to come first in the race John. You are not practicing at all,” said John’s mother.
“Mom, you know how fast I am! Why should I waste my time running? Only I will win; no one else will win!”said John. “John, you may be right but talent (天赋) without hard work is not good at all. This laziness of yours will cost you greatly,” his mother warned him. John just laughed. He was so confident that he would win the trophy (奖杯) as no one else in his class was as fast as he was!.
Tim, a classmate of John, was also participating (参加) in the running race. He was not a fast runner. However, he practiced till late at night and had developed great endurance (持久力) to run the race.
There were a few days left for the Sports Day but John did not practice at all. On the other hand, Tim practiced day and night.
The Sports Day was almost around the corner but John was confident that no one could beat him and had not practiced at all. But Tim with his hard work had become a very great runner.
At last, the Sports Day arrived. All the students showed up on the ground to cheer their favorites. The coach blew the whistle (口哨) and everyone began to run toward the finishing line. It was so exciting. John and Tim left all the racers far behind. Both of them were neck to neck.

The people of Hong Kong have always worked hard. Sometimes in the past, they had no time for rest or play. Today things have changed, and people have begun to learn how to play as well as working.
Over the past few years, the Government has built swimming pools and sports grounds all over Hong Kong. The Recreation and Sports Service has also played a big part in helping the people of Hong Kong to enjoy sports and outdoor activities. It has set up an outdoor recreation center in Sai Kung, and thousands of people have had short, active holidays with plenty of sports in the countryside. New holiday centers are being prepared in Tsuen Wan, Disneyland and Sai Kung, including a water sports center in Tai Po. The R.S.S. is also helping other organizations to set up holiday camps. The R.S.S. used to be part of the Education Department. Now it has become part of the Home Affairs Department. Students are not the only people who need recreation and sports.
At one time, only rich people could afford to sail, to join squash and tennis clubs, to water-ski, etc. Now more and more people are taking part in more different kinds of sports. Thousands have learnt to swim, or to play such popular games as tennis, football, squash and basketball. Many have discovered the joy of cycling or have learnt to sail. Gymnastics has become popular outside school. Walking and camping in the countryside or on the beach have become weekend activities to many more.
Many people live in small, crowded houses, and work long hours doing boring jobs in factories and offices. Their spare time should not be spent at the cinema or watching TV. They need fresh air and outdoor activities. The Recreation and Sports Service is making many people healthier and happier.

10 . A new study out of Canada suggests teenagers should spend less time looking at screens and more time getting involved in activities. The findings published in the journal Preventive Medicine were based on a survey of 28,000 7th graders in British Columbia.
They answered questions about how much time they spent watching TV, streaming videos 9 playing video games and how much time they spent on after-school activities like sports and music programs. Then they ranked how good they felt about each day when they woke up. From their answers, researchers concluded that teens who spent more time on activities were mentally healthier and less anxious and depressed than those who spent more time on screens. And the study suggested that extra screen time was especially harmful to girls. For them, researchers say the negative effects were stronger.
So how much screen time is too much? The Canadian Pediatric Society says all teens should have less than two hours of screen time per day and that guideline was factored into the study. But it’s important to point out that the information about it was gathered between 2014 and 2018, years before the CO VID hit. And this year, with fewer opportunities to see friends and participate in after-school events, teenagers have shown higher levels of depression and anxiety according to other research.
The lead author of the Canadian study says even though it’s harder to do, it’s still important to find ways for teens to safely get involved with programs and hobbies away from screens.
