那么如何才能做到擅长体育运动呢？How to Be Good at SportsIf sports are something that interests you, it isreasonable(合理的) that you would want to be good at them. Hereare some tips that can help you become a good player.Set ambitious(有雄心的) but realistic goals. If you want tobe great at sports, you need to set your aims high. This does notmean being unrealistic. Instead, you should take a look at whatyou are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.Be patient. Skills are often slow to build. Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you’re not patient, you’ll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you’re ready. You’ll feel discouraged(泄气的) when you don’t see immediate improvement.Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they’re happening. If you’re not in school, you can find a sports club online.Accept criticism(批评). When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt. Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation(动力) to get better.Practice until your skills become second nature. A skill becomes mastered when you’re able to do it without thinking. Given enough time and practice, a skill will eventually fall under this category. When in a game, you won’t have time to think everything through, so practice until it’s all automatic.Section ⅠStarting out & Understanding ideas1.given that ...引导原因状语从句：Given__that(考虑到) NeilArmstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even saythat it is also the most popular sport out of this world ！2.see ＋宾语＋宾语补足语：All over the world you cansee__kids__playing(看到孩子们在踢) to their hearts’ content witha ball made of plastic bags; just like Pel did when he was a boy.3.it is ＋adj.＋enough to do ...……到足够做……：It isfun__enough__to__attract(有趣到足够吸引) millions of people.ⅠRead the text and fill in the blanks.答案：1.popularity 2.simple 3.cheap 4.creativity5．excitement municateⅡRead the text carefully and choose the best answer according to the text. 1．What does the author mainly talk about?A．Football is popular because it is simple to play.B．Football can bring us excitement.C．Football can help people to communicate.D．Football enjoys its popularity all over the world.2．Football is popular all over the world because ________．A．it’s a game with creativity and excitement on the fieldB．it is easy to catch fans’ attentionC．you don’t have to understand the professional skillsD．the players performed wonderfully3．Why did British and German soldiers stop their war?A．Because they wanted to end the war.B．Because football provided them a chance to communicate.C．Because they all loved it.D．Because they were tired of the war.4．What does the author want to say in the last paragraph?A．Football is more than just a sport.B．Football is a matter of life and death.C．Football is more important than other sports.D．Football is important because our planet is shaped like a football.答案：1－4.DABAbasis n．基础；根据(教材P26)That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity.足球是一项如此简单的运动也许是它受欢迎的基础。

Making the news李仕才一、阅读理解Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse. Last summer four of u s rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch u p with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowe d. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not f rom exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair,I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂ kick up my heels＂ at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。
不再依赖手机过有意义的生活英语作文
不再依赖手机过有意义的生活英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1No More Phone Zombies! Let's Really Live Life!Hi friends! I'm here to talk about something super important. Have you noticed how many kids and grownups are always staring at their phones like zombies? It's kind of scary! Their eyes are glued to those little screens and they don't even notice what's happening around them. I think we're all letting our phones control us way too much. It's time to take our lives back and start really living!I know phones can be fun. You can play games, watch videos, and keep in touch with your buddies. But when you spend hours and hours on your phone every single day, you're missing out on so much cool stuff in the real world. Think about all the awesome adventures you could be having instead of just tapping and swiping all the time!Whenever I see kids at the park or the playground who won't put down their phones, it makes me really sad. Don't they know how much fun they're missing? The park is an amazing place torun around, climb on the jungle gym, swing on the swings, and make new friends to play tag or hide-and-seek with. But if your face is buried in your phone, you'll never experience any of that!And it's not just kids. I see teens and adults who can't seem to pull themselves away from their phones either. They'll be sitting in a restaurant ignoring their families because they're too busy texting or scrolling social media. Or they'll be at a party or picnic and they're not even paying attention to the people around them. That's no way to enjoy life!Getting really good at video games or knowing what everyone posted online is not actually an impressive skill. But you know what is cool? Being a person who can climb trees, ride a bike, swim in a lake, build forts, tell funny jokes, and be a loyal friend. Those are talents to be proud of!Real life is so much more exciting than whatever is happening on a little screen. Has your phone ever taken you on an epic hiking adventure to explore nature? Has it taught you how to bake delicious cookies from scratch? Has it helped you build an awesome tree house or gone stargazing with you at night? I don't think so!Phones might seem fun, but they can actually make you miss out on developing meaningful interests, hobbies, andrelationships. If you're only focused on your phone, you'll never learn sick dance moves, become a chess champion, or join a cool rock band with your friends.I'm not saying we have to get rid of phones completely. Sometimes they're really useful for listening to music, researching school projects, or keeping in touch with family that lives far away. But we need to be in charge of our phones, not let them be in charge of us.So next time you catch yourself getting zombified by your phone, put that thing down! Look around and notice how amazing the real world is. There's a huge world waiting to be explored outside of those tiny screens. Who wants to join me on a new adventure?!篇2Phones Are Boring, Playing Outside Is Way Better!Hi friends! Today I want to talk about something that really bugs me. It's all the kids who are always staring at their phones and tablets instead of going outside to play and have fun. I get that phones and video games are cool and all, but there's so much other awesome stuff to do that doesn't involve screens!My parents are always saying stuff like "Back in my day, we played outside from sunrise to sunset!" And you know what? They're right! When I'm not stuck doing homework or other boring stuff, I try to spend as much time as possible out of the house. The great outdoors is just so much better than the indoors.Think about it - when you're stuck inside staring at a screen, you're basically just sitting there like a couch potato. But when you're outside, you can run around, climb trees, ride your bike, play sports, and so much more! All that exercise and activity is amazing for your body and brain. My gym teacher is always talking about how important it is to get 60 minutes of exercise every day. Why wouldn't you want to do something fun to stay fit and healthy?Another reason I can't stand being glued to phones and tablets is that you miss out on so much cool nature stuff when you're trapped indoors. Have you ever looked for animal tracks in the mud or tried to identify different bird calls? Or gone on a nature scavenger hunt searching for leaves, pinecones, flowers and other treasures? It's like an endless adventure out there!And don't even get me started on the imaginary worlds you can create when playing outside. My friends and I have sailedacross magical high seas, fought epic battles against alien robot monsters, and gone on so many quests and journeys just by using our imaginations. Try doing that while zoning out in front of a screen! Pretend play is the best - you can come up with endless games and stories. It's a lot harder to tap into your creativity when you're just consuming stuff made by others.Of course, I realize phones and tablets aren't ALL bad. They can be great for learning, keeping up with friends and family, or using educational apps. My parents let me use their old phones or our family tablet for an hour or so after I finish my homework. And we love having movie nights at home too. But those screens aren't my whole life like they seem to be for some kids.I just can't understand why anyone would want to be stuck inside all day long staring at tiny figures and pixels on a screen. There's a massive, amazing, endlessly fascinating world out there just waiting to be explored! Why would you want to miss out on that?Seriously, next time it's a beautiful day, take a look outside and then back at whatever show or game you'rewatching/playing. Which seems more exciting and fun - the real world or whatever's happening in that little rectangle? For me,the answer is obvious. The great outdoors wins every time! That's where the real adventures and excitement happens.Don't get me wrong, I love technology and think phones and computers are super cool. But we can't let them take over our lives completely. We were meant to run, jump, play, explore and experience the world around us, not just watch it happening in a virtual world. That's why I'll always try to go outside as much as possible.You can keep your tiny screens - I'm going on an epic journey to discover new lands! Maybe there are dinosaurs still roaming the forest behind my house. Or a secret pirate treasure buried under the oak tree. Or I might just chase butterflies and watch the clouds go by. Either way, it beats being a couch potato. See ya outside, friends!篇3My Life Without My Phone and Why It's The Best!Hi friends! Today I want to tell you all about how I stopped using my phone so much and it made my life way more fun and exciting. I know it might sound crazy since pretty much everyone our age is always on their phone or tablet. But I realized thatalways having my face glued to a screen was making me miss out on so much cool stuff happening in the real world.It all started a few months ago. My mom had been bugging me forever about spending too much time watching YouTube, playing games, and texting my friends instead of doing my homework or chores. I just rolled my eyes because all kids my age do that stuff. But then one day she took my phone away for a whole week as punishment because my grades weren't so hot.At first, I was totally furious! How was I supposed to survive without my phone? I felt so disconnected from everything. But after a couple days, something weird happened. I started to notice things I never really paid attention to before. Like how pretty the trees looked when the sun hit them a certain way. Or all the different bird calls I could hear in the morning. Or how funny my little brother was when he did his silly dances.When I finally got my phone back after that torture week, I realized just having it back in my hand made me want to stare at it constantly again. So I made a deal with myself to only use it for an hour or two after school and before bedtime. The rest of the time, I put it in a drawer in my room. At first it was hard, but soon I didn't even think about it much.With all my new free time, I started doing so many activities that were way more fun than staring at a screen! I had missed how great it felt to run around at the park and get sweaty and dirty. Bike riding with my friends was a blast, especially without having to stop every two seconds to check our phones. I even enjoyed helping my dad wash his car and then running through the sprinklers after.Another thing I started doing more was reading books for fun. My teacher had been assigning cool books all year, but I'll be honest, I usually just looked up summaries online instead of actually reading them. Once I gave them a try, I got hooked. Books take you to amazing made-up worlds that no video game could ever match.Speaking of video games, I still play them sometimes, but not as much as before. And you know what? The games are so much more exciting and rewarding when I'm not doing it all day every day. I appreciate them more and they feel more special.The biggest change has probably been how much more time I spend talking to my family and friends in person instead of through a screen. My parents are always going on about how important face-to-face communication is, and they were right. You can actually pick up on people's emotions and bodylanguage better when you're with them physically. Some of my funniest moments recently have been during ridiculous conversations with my siblings where we're all cracking up for some dumb reason. You just can't get that same vibe over text.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying phones and technology are all bad. They let us learn new things, get information in seconds, and stay connected to people all over. I still love taking photos and videos to capture fun memories. And I definitely rely on my phone's maps to get places I've never been before. The problem was that I got way too obsessed and let my phone take over my whole life. Now that I've struck a healthier balance, using my phone intentionally instead of impulsively, I appreciate its benefits so much more.So to my friends who haven't experienced the freedom of not being chained to your phone, I super duper encourage you to give it a try! At first, the FOMO (fear of missing out) is rough, but it gets easier, I promise. And once you've gotten a taste of that glorious phone-free life, full of adventure, creativity, and actual human connection, you'll never want to go back.Put down the phone, get outside, pick up an interesting book or hobby, and wahoo! A whole big wonderful world awaits you beyond that small screen. One you'll never regret exploring.Plus you get the bonus of making your parents proud instead of nagging you about your technology obsession. So what are you waiting for? Join me in making memories that don't just disappear in a week when the next web craze takes over. Make your life an experience, not just an app! Thanks for reading, friends!篇4Phones Are Just Toys, There's So Much More!Hi friends! Today I want to talk to you about something really important. It's about our phones and how we use them way too much. I know, I know, you're probably thinking "But Tommy, I love my phone! It has all my favorite games and apps. How could I ever live without it?" Well, let me tell you, there is a whole amazing world out there beyond those little screens!Think about it - when was the last time you went outdoors and actually played for hours without even looking at your phone? When was the last time you looked up at the sky and noticed how beautiful the clouds look? Or stopped to smell the roses in your neighbor's garden? Phones are great for some things, but they also disconnect us from the real world. And the real world is so cool when you take the time to experience it!Instead of staring at our phones all day, we could be running around playing tag, jumping in leaf piles, having fun squirt gun fights on a hot day, or building awesome forts and treehouses with our friends. Remember how much fun we used to have before we all had phones? Those were the days!Phones also stop us from using our incredible minds and bodies in amazing ways. They make us lazy couch potatoes. With phones, we don't have to use our creativity and imagination as much. We don't have to invent new games and activities from scratch using just our big brains and whatever we can find around us. We don't have to run and play and get exercise. Isn't that boring?I have a challenge for all of you: try leaving your phone behind for an entire day and see how refreshing it feels to truly live in the moment without constant distractions. Go for a nature hike and see how many cool bugs, birds and forest creatures you can find. Ride your bike as fast as you can and feel the wind in your hair. Color with crayons or paint and let your artistic side shine. Read an awesome book from cover to cover in one sitting and lose yourself in a different world. The possibilities are endless when we use our phones less!Now I'm not saying phones are all bad. They definitely have their uses and some really cool apps and games. But we were meant for so much more than just sitting indoors staring at a screen all day long. We are young and full of energy, with minds that are like sponges wanting to soak up new knowledge and experiences.Our bodies want to run and jump and climb. Our hearts want to feel the joy of playing outside in the sunshine with our best friends. Our brains want to fantasize about make-believe worlds and dream up crazy inventions. Don't let your phone hold you back from living life to the fullest!Just imagine how boring life would be if we let ourselves become totally dependent on our phones. We'd miss out on so many wonderful childhood experiences that we'll remember and cherish forever. Making forts, finding treasures in the woods, camping under the stars, staying up late whispering secrets during a sleepover. Those are the times that form special memories and bonds between true friends.So what do you say? Are you with me? Let's all try to spend more time truly living and a little less time being tech zombies. We are adventurers, explorers, creators, artists and dreamers! Our journey through childhood should be filled with excitement,imagination and moments of pure glee. Not hours upon hours of mindlessly swiping and tapping a small screen.Our parents had no cell phones or ipads when they were kids, and they seemed to have more fun than anyone! They cherished simple pleasures like playing sports in the park, going on long family bike rides, and using their allowance money to get ice cream cones on a hot summer day. We are so lucky to have technology, but let's not let it take over our lives completely.There's a great big universe out there just waiting to be explored, and it can't be explored through a phone. It needs to be experienced with all five senses - feeling the warm sunshine, smelling the fresh-cut grass, tasting the tart lemonade, hearing the birds singing, and seeing the kaleidoscope of colors in a sunset sky. Those are the things that stay etched in our hearts forever and make us appreciate how vibrant and amazing reality can be.So power down those phones, put them on silent, stash them away somewhere safe, and join me in rediscovering all the magic this world has to offer. Who's with me? Let's get out there and start making some incredible memories we'll never forget!篇5Not Being a Phone Zombie AnymoreHey friends! It's me, Jamie. I'm here to tell you about how I stopped being a total phone zombie and started really living my life again. It's been such an awesome change!I used to be just like a lot of kids these days - always staring at my phone screen, tapping away at games and social media apps. Wherever I went, my phone came with me. At the dinner table, in the car, even in the bathroom (gross, I know!). My poor eyes were glued to that little screen pretty much all the time when I wasn't in class or sleeping.And you know what? I wasn't very happy. Sure, those games were fun and it was cool to see what my friends were up to online. But I also always kind of felt like I was missing out on the real world happening all around me. My brain felt kinda foggy and I had no energy. I just wanted to veg out on my phone all the time instead of doing anything else.Then one day, I dropped my phone and the screen cracked into a million pieces! My mom said I couldn't get a new one for a whole month as punishment for not being more careful. At first I freaked out. How would I survive without my phone?! What would I do with myself? I felt totally lost.But slowly, something amazing started happening. I began to wake up and pay attention to the world again. Without my phone's constant buzzing and flashing for attention, I could finally hear the birds chirping outside my window in the morning.I noticed the bright green leaves on the trees and the flowers poking up through the ground as spring arrived.Without endless mobile games to play, I went outside more and actually ran around, feeling the warm sun on my face and fresh air filling my lungs. Playing soccer and baseball with my friends became fun again, instead of just an excuse to take a break from staring at screens.I started reading books for pleasure, traveling to amazing imaginary worlds that my phone could never portray. My mom took me to the library and I checked out tons of cool books about fractals, black holes, pirates, and mythological beasts. Words danced off the pages in vibrant colors as my mind fired on all cylinders, free from the fog of phone zombiehood.With all the free time gained by quitting my phone habit, I even started learning coding and building cool digital games and websites myself. They'll never be as mindless and addictive as the junk on mobile apps, but creating things is just so much more satisfying than mindlessly consuming.Speaking of creating instead of consuming, I started writing more - keeping a daily journal and even trying my hand at short stories. One of my teachers said she was really impressed by my increased creativity and imagination after I stepped away from the phone life.Don't get me wrong, I still love technology and think phones and apps can be really cool. But now I use them as tools for productivity and creation, not as life-sucking addictions.More importantly, I realized that true happiness and meaning don't come through a screen. They come from real human connections - from looking into someone's eyes instead of a flickering display, from sharing experiences out in the world instead of just sending each other memes.These days, when I'm hanging out with my friends and family we actually talk and play outside and go on adventures together. My relationships are so much better now that I'm fully present instead of burying my head in my phone.So if you find yourself feeling fumerized and zombified by your phone, maybe it's time to take a break. Try unplugging for a while - you'll be amazed by all the awesome stuff you were missing out on. I promise real life is so much bigger, richer, andmore magical than any game or video! You just have to look up and tune in.Well, I've gone on long enough. My pals are waiting for me to join their backyard camping adventure - no phones allowed! We're gonna roast s'mores, stargaze, and spin spooky stories around the fire. Doesn't that sound like way more fun than any app? See ya in the real world, friends!。

IN THE NEWS - Abe Moves Quickly to
Improve Ties With South Korea and China By Brianna Blake
Broadcast: Saturday, September 30, 2006
This is IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English.
Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has already taken his first
steps to try to repair relations with South Korea and China. Mister
Abe and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun spoke by
telephone earlier this week and agreed to meet as soon as possible.
Leaders from the two countries have not met in almost a year.
Some reports said a visit to Seoul could take place before the
middle of October. And Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso said
Mister Abe may visit China as early as October. Japan's parliament, the Diet, elected Mister Abe on Tuesday to replace Junichiro Koizumi. Mister Koizumi left office after more than five years as prime minister.
South Korea and China were both victims of past aggression by Japan. Relations have suffered in recent years, mainly because of visits by Japanese leaders to a memorial for Japan's war dead.
Several of those honored at the Yasukuni Shrine were found guilty of war crimes during World War Two. Mister Abe has refused to say if will visit the shrine as prime minister. On other issues, he says he plans to continue the economic reforms started by Mister
Koizumi. And he says he is serious about cutting government spending. Mister Abe reduced his own pay by thirty percent and his cabinet members' pay by ten percent.
He and President Bush spoke by telephone Wednesday. They agreed to meet in November in Hanoi at the meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group. A White House spokeswoman said they expressed a desire to further strengthen the United States-Japan alliance.
Japan is a leading trading partner and security ally of the United States. About fifty thousand
American troops are based in Japan. Mister Koizumi sent Japanese troops to assist
rebuilding in Iraq. And Japanese ships provide fuel for the military operations in Afghanistan. Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe
Shinzo Abe is fifty-two years old, making him Japan's youngest prime minister since World War Two. He was recently elected president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. The only cabinet position he has held was chief cabinet secretary. But his grandfather and great-uncle were prime ministers and his father was foreign minister.
Mister Abe gave his first policy speech in parliament Friday. He rejected relations with North Korea until the issue of its kidnapping of Japanese citizens in the past is settled. And he announced that Japan will study how it can take part in collective defense efforts with the United States.
Since the end of World War Two, Japanese forces have been constitutionally restricted in their activities. Mister Abe restated his desire to see the constitution changed as soon as possible.
And he talked about his desire to create what he calls a "beautiful nation." Mister Abe says he seeks a Japan that is trusted, honored and loved by the world and active in showing its leadership.
