1 . You start by running around the school track three times to warm up. This is followed by exercises or long jump for the girls and football or basketball for the boys. That is an average 45 -minute PE class— but do you really enjoy it?
For students at the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, sports classes have experienced a welcome change. Senior 2 students now learn the traditional Chinese martial art of sword-fighting (中国剑术), making PE the most popular lesson on the timetable. “The classes used to be boring as we just did the same things again and again,” said Xiao Tong. “But now PE classes are such fun. Sword-fighting is so cool.” His classmate Wei Jie agrees. “As well as being fun, we learn about traditional Chinese culture,” she said. The usual morning exercises performed to music on the school playground have been replaced by kicking and punching practice (搏击操) to a pop music by Zheng Xiuwen. “We didn't pay much attention when we heard the old music,” Xiao explained, “But when Zheng's music is played, we get excited.” Mao Min, the PE teacher who introduced the changes, is pleased that the students now enjoy sports lessons more. “The classes encourage healthy lifestyles and I am always looking for creative ways to keep the students active,” he said. Schools offer activities according to what sports facilities (设备) they have. For example, students at the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University can choose to learn swimming, taekwondo (跆拳道) or volleyball. “I take my volleyball very seriously so I keep fit by playing it,” said Senior 2 student Zhang Zheng. “Students only try hard in sports that interest them.”

4 . What is spring break?
Between tests and after-school activities, we all deserve a much-needed pause from school to relax and regroup. Entering spring break, a glorious week set aside in the middle of the semester for students to take time off and unwind(放松).
When is spring break 2023?
The dates of spring break 2023 vary from school to school, but most take place in March or April. You can check your school’s calendar(校历) to see when spring break 2023 is scheduled.
How long is spring break?
Again, the length of spring breaks differ across the country. A majority are just one week, but some spring breaks(mostly among colleges and universities) are two weeks long.
What should I do over spring break 2023?
Spring break 2023-will be here before you know it, but that means you should start planning if you want to travel. Looking to escape the cold? Booking a trip somewhere beachside or poolside, taking advantage of spring skiing, snowboarding, or other late-winter activities. There are many, many options. Staycations(就近度假) are also perfect for connecting with family and friends, binge-watching(一口气看完)a new series on Netflix, planning a local museum trip, picking up a new hobby, going for a hike, or finally making a dent in your TBR list. Super scholars might take this time to prepare and get ahead on their studies. If college year is fast-approaching, you could even plan some college tours and arrange in-person visits to some of the campuses on your list.

5 . Mark asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Mark’s father knew that few boys would want someone like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, on their team, but the father still approached to ask the boys if Mark could play. They exchanged glances with each other and said, “We’ll try to put him in to bat.”
Mark struggled over to the team’s bench and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the final inning, Mark was scheduled to be at bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Mark missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Mark. As the pitch came in, Mark swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman, but he just threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Mark, run to first!” Never in his life had Mark ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
By the time Mark rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming. “Mark, run to third.” As Mark rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Mark, run home!” Mark ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team. Tears rolled down the father’s cheeks.
That day, the boys from both teams helped bring true love and humanity into this world.
1. Why did Mark’s father, not expecting much, still asked if Mark could join the team?| A．Because he noticed some of the boys on the field were friendly. |
| B．Because he knew some of the boys on the field knew Mark well. |
| C．Because he understood Mark did need a feeling of being accepted. |
