As we all know, sports play an important role in children lives. Children who competes in a sport will learn how to deal with stress. This is because even though they work hardly to master the skills needed for a sport, but it does not mean they will always win. Sports also help children see that foolish cheating is. In sports, it is no use pretending to fall down or being hurt, because in the end, the audience will see through it. Taking active part in sports event is fun but not always easy. Therefore, it helped children learn how to deal with failure, something that someone must learn to face in life.

5 . Walking is good for you.It’s good for your heart, for your lungs, for the muscle and bone growth of your children.Strong scientific evidence now supports the many benefits to health of regular walking.

Walking is connected with reduced death rates for both older and younger adults.In other words, walkers live longer!

In particular, walking has a great effect on cardiovascular disease(心血管病).Fit and active people have around half the risk of cardiovascular disease compared to unfit inactive people.

Even 10-minute walks can increase fitness.One study at Loughbrough University found that women walking continuously for 30 minutes 5 days a week had almost the same increases in fitness as women who divide their 30 minutes into three 10-minute walks.

The majority of studies of young people indicate falling participation in physical activity.Only half of 11-36-year-olds currently walk for ten minutes a day.Children in Britain walk 50 miles a year less than they did a decade ago.Around 20% of children can be classed as overweight.TV, computers, cultural changes and fears for children’s safety out of doors play a large part.

Walking offers a great way to help kids get the active habit.If parents express excitement about the prospect (前景) of a walk in the countryside, they are more likely to pass this feeling to their children.It’s important to treat the walk as an exploration or adventure and to go at the child’s pace, no matter how often they want to stop and look at things, take treats to eat and plenty to drink, and head for some landmarks that will attract them such as a castle, a playground, an ice cream car or a boating pond.If children experience walking as part of a fun activity, they are more likely to want to go again.

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Ball games are a big source of modern amusement. But they're nothing new. For instance, consider a 4,500-year-old ball     1    (find) in a child's tomb in Egypt or 3.600-year-old rubber balls from Central America-where the competitors were asked to play the balls with their hips(臀部）.

So far, researchers     2    (make) sure of a date of the oldest sporting balls in Europe or Asia: three balls, dug up from the tombs of horsemen in the deserts of northwestern China and crafted three thousand     3    (year) ago.

＂We are quite sure they were used in some sort of bat-and-ball game."Patrick Wertmann is an expert at the University of Zurich     4     analyzed the ancient sporting equipment. The balls are about three inches in diameter and filled     5    leather hair. “And then, also,     6    (look) at the Chinese character of "ball" itself, you'll find it quite     7    (interest) because this character is made up of the ideograms(表意文字）of hair and leather.”

As for how this ancient ball-and-stick game     8     （play)? “lt could be something like polo. But it could also be something like     9     early form of golf.

Since we don't have any textural evidence and we don't have any sticks from the same period, we don't really know     10    （exact).”

8 . The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Cathy suffered some terrible _________ in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she finally became healthy.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to join our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally _________ it. The team practice, _________ was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly survive her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to _________ her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swim suit ready to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to _________ and insisted she go.

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't miss a single practice. She had a _________ intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old girl was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this _________ human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of frustration of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a winner — ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to _________ her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach _________, “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her will and enthusiasm. Although skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset one can hold is the heart.”

It was the greatest __________ of my daughter's life. With all she had been through in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph.
