2 . For almost 100 years, the Winter Olympics has been a celebration of ice and snow sports around the world. It is a special event that only takes place once every four years.
Although the Winter Olympics started with just five sports across nine disciplines (分项) in France in 1924, it has grown to include seven sports across 15 different disciplines and has been hosted in 12 countries across three continents. In 2022, for the first time ever in the games’ history, Beijing became the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
China has come a long way and achieved many goals since it took part in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1980. In this short period of time, China’s athletes have won medals in six of the sports events. Short track speed skating (短道速滑) has been an area of expertise (专长) for China.
China’s love for winter sports has been growing. The Ministry of Education has set a goal of building 5,000 special schools by 2025 to improve winter sports education. The government has also been encouraging primary and secondary schools to add winter sports to their courses. Many provinces and cities have already acted on this suggestion. Classes will be set up in schools in northern China to boost interest in winter sports. In southern China, schools can partner with ice rinks (溜冰场) and winter sports clubs.
Beijing has already set a good example. China News Agency reported that nearly 840,000 students in the city have begun taking winter sports lessons, including skating and skiing lessons.

3 . When 36-year-old Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby-skateboarding— in January 2021，the only problem he expected to run into was his own ability to get back into the sport after the long break. However, the 340-pound skateboarder from Oakland, California, soon realized that was the least of his problems.
Duran’s problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. “I couldn’t find any resources (资源) for fat skaters, what types of boards to try, or where to buy branded (名牌的) shirts in sizes 2XL or 3XL,” he says.
What Duran did find instead was an unfounded belief that fat people should not be skating. “I started to find people who were saying that if you’ re over 190 pounds you shouldn’t be on a skateboard, or that the board won’t support you,” he says.
Determined to do something to change that, Duran founded Chub Rollz— a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. “If you feel like your size makes you feel uncomfortable about skating with others, you are welcome to skate with us,” Duran says.
Duran created a list of recommended (推荐的) products for fat skaters. He also held skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners. He received a lot of messages from strangers expressing gratitude. “This means so much to me; I didn’t think I could skate,” said one. “A person at the skate shop laughed at me, but this club makes me feel like I can still do it,” wrote another.
Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to change the idea that fat bodies can’t do and aren’t interested in the activity. He thinks that is simply not true. “I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops have more training for creating a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters or boards to be made in different sizes,” he explains.

5 . Teenagers' busy life can cause them to see exercise as a waste of time. However. the belief is far from true. Exercise is important for teenagers because it not only promotes physical health. but also improves mental health.
Exercise plays an important role in a teenager's mental health. Teenagers who exercise tend to have a better body image than those who don't, which helps build confidence and makes one feel more comfortable. This also helps one to accept his or her looks. Although physique(体形)is not as important a factor as health,it can strongly affect teenagers' mood and attitude. A healthier and fitter body will build a greater sense of confidence in the body image.
Another mental benefit from exercise is the feel-good endorphins(内啡肽)that come along with it. The body produces endorphins naturally when one exercises hard that are commonly referred to as"a happy chemical". They can produce a feel-good effect and create a sense of emotional well-being during and after exercise. They can make physical activities more enjoyable. They can also reduce stress and relax one to a point at which it is even easier for one to fall asleep.
Many students say that they are too busy with schoolwork to exercise. but they don't realize that exercise can improve their mental performance. Exercise such as walking and jogging increases the flow of oxygen to the brain and heart. Teenagers who exercise regularly tend to have the ability to think more clearly and faster, In addition, teenagers that exercise regularly tend to be more focused and perform better in school. Various mental issues can be aided by exercise as well, For example, one who suffers from anger issues may look to exercise as an outlet. Teenagers who struggle with anxiety and depression can also find a healthy outlet through exercise.
