Many times when I was at a bad mood I shouted at the people around me. I scream, shouted and ran as fast as I could relieve my pressure. So it was useless,since I still had to return to the problem. This term I begin to change. I have realized however greater the difficulty is, I have to face with it. It’s no use screaming and shouting at others. Beside, there are teachers and friends around me who are ready to helping me. As long as I try my best, I can make a progress in any aspect. Now I feel every day is a pleasant day and the sun is always shining bright on my face.

As we know, sport is very common in our daily life. People who usually compete in sports can be found everywhere. Why so many people love sports? __1__
Generally speaking, it is good for our health to do sports, such as basketball, football, table tennis, swimming, badminton, and so on. __2__ I have taken the swimming course this term, since I didn’t know how to swim. I find that swimming is very interesting and has many benefits for our bodies. On one hand, it can make our blood circulatory system run regularly. On the other hand, the muscles of our bodies can be massaged(按摩) under the pressure of water. All these are positively advantageous to our health.
__3__ It is known to us that some sports are team sports that involve several players or even more. When playing with others, people must face the situation of getting along with others. Through the sport games, strangers may go easily with others and make friends with each other. __4__ If you don’t know what to do, doing exercises may be a good idea because you can share the time and the fun with your friends.
__5__Yes, that’s right. But the advantages of sports are more than its disadvantages. We should follow the lead of sports athletes, as sports play an essential role in our life. Plenty of physical exercise will help you keep fit.

C．There are many reasons for this.
D．I like the sports, which is interesting.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school .Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain.
