Dear Mr.Green,
I’m writing to tell you how is going on in our school—a basketball match to be holding next month. The match will be played among Xinhua Middle School Basketball Team and ours.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the stress and it often appears hard for us to get rid of it.1..
Think of a place that makes you peaceful
The place you choose should put you into a complete state of peace. 2.. Some ever sit on the beach watching the waves come in; some lie in bed late at night listening to good music; some lie on their back on a cool day watching clouds float by…
3..
Set aside at least five minutes for quiet “cleaning” time. If necessary, set an alarm or ask a friend to tap you on the shoulder at a designated time.
Cover your eyes and go to your “place”
If you are at school preparing for a test before class, you may simply rest your elbows(肘)on the desk and put your hands over your eyes. However, for some people , it may not be a good idea.4. . For example, if you are thinking of a Christmas tree, imagine the smell of the tree and the look of the layered shadows on the walls.
Refresh your brain and body.
Remember, this is not nap time.5.After five or ten minutes of clearing time, take a brisk(快的)walk or take a drink of water to re-energize your mind and body. Stay relaxed and resist the urge to think about the things that are stressing you out.
A. Set aside some time for relaxation
B. The key point here is to refresh your brain

D. This place will be different for different people
E. Make your brain get ready for the upcoming changes
F. Don’t let your brain be trapped in a stressful state again.
G. You should use all senses to make the experience as real as possible
Many of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed (有缺陷)?
If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.
Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.
You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior (自卑) because you don’t have much money and you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your life. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.
The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.

Football is a popular sport. More than a million kids play on high school teams, but football can be a hazard. The National Football League(NFL) has acknowledged that almost 30 percent of its players will eventually suffer from brain-related diseases. That’s a lot.
A recent study involving 40 former NFL players showed that those who started playing football before age 12 did worse on thinking tests than players who started after age 12. By the way, all the tested players scored below average for their age and education. Concerns about the effects of constant hits to the head have caused some medical experts on brain injuries, such as Robert Cantu of Boston University, to recommend that kids not play football before age 14.
I don’t think football is all bad. It helps kids learn teamwork, discipline and how to get into better physical condition. But now that we know that the sport might be dangerous, it’s time to make some changes in the youth and high school football.
First, seasons should be shorter. The high school regular season should not be more than nine games. Second, kids should not play tackle(擒抱) football too soon. As Cantu points out, “By age fourteen, our necks are strong and our overall body strength is sufficient to keep the head steady when we slam at the line of scrimmage(争球).” Personally speaking, I don’t think kids should sit on the couch until they are 14. But they can play flag football and other gentler sports. If you think age 14 is too late to become a good football player, remember that four-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady started playing football at that age.

3.What does the author advise for kids under 14?
A. They watch football games. B. They play safer games.
C. Football be forbidden for them. D. They play 10 games a season.
4.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To entertain. B. To advertise.
