What sports mean to our lifeAs time goes by, sports are playing the increasingly more important role in people's modern life. People all over the world take part in different kinds of sports, such as football, basketball, walking, swimming and so on. They also like to watch sports matches. Besides, sports stars are very popular with the public, especially young students.This is no doubt that sport is good for our health. A person who takes exercises regularly will keep fit. What's more, doing exercise can make you well-behaved and confident. If you usually take exercise with your friends, you will be close to them. After all, sports can make your life more colorful. I love playing sports very much, and I hold the view that it's extremely important to play sports if you have enough free time, because it can give me much energy for my studies, and it can help me relax myself. I usually play sports very early morning, because I think it's the best time to do exercise.But sports can do some harm to those people who can not plan their activities properly. Too hard training may hurt their bodies, damage their vigor, and even make them sick. What's more, sports will sometimes destroy our relationships.Sport is so important to our development, and there is no better a place to play and learn about the world than on a sports field. So, let sports for our service, and do not let it hurt us.Praise should be appropriateAs we know,Everyone wants to be appreciated and praised by others for what they do and what they say.Praise is necessary, and appropriate praise is more important. To name only a few,students want to be praised by their teachers. Employees want to be praised by their employers. It seems that praise is like sunlight to us, we can't flower and grow without it.But it is a pity that while most of people are just too ready to blow the cold wind of harsh criticism on others, as Pearl S. Buck said, we are somehow reluctant to give people the warm sunshine of praise. As an example, most teachers always critics their students compositions in red ink, instead of commenting favorably on them.So, let's be alert to the excellence around us and comment on them appropriately. We will bring joy into other people's lives and add happiness to our own.However how to commend appropriately?First,it is not real compliment to praise a person for his or her obvious achievement.we should learn to use discernment and originality when giving compliments. Second, sincerity is essential in compliments. Third, whenever we think something nice about a person,tell him/her immediately.In a word, praise should be appropriate and don't forget to send warm wind to others.We Are AloneToday, with the development of the times, science and technology in the continuous progress, the distance between the world has become increasingly close, but in some ways also make people become much more distant.People are emotional, complex, science and technology will seemingly all complicated things become simple, but we don't know where it will led us to. At present, the people are keen to contact the network and ignore reality exchanges, even led ustogether in the same space and not really together.People always hold a cell phone, looking at the computer, linger in the network, and the people around us less and less communication. Compared with before, we are more alone.The biggest reality we are facing is that time makes the world more and more close, but let us and the people around us more and more distant. When we are more connected, we actually become more lonely.Creativity is importantThe importance of creativity in our personal lives can't be estimated.Creativity is a slice of who we are and how we express ourselves in everyday life.How creativity impacts our relationships, careers and business strategies mean that it's very important to many things in our daily life.While creativity comes cushily and naturally to some, but for many of us the word "creativity" has a wall around it, and we are on the outside. In fact, creativity is not the special gift of a favored few, a burst of light they have either got or they have not. It requires finding the best way for those people to express and implement their creative ideas. Developing the ability to take the imagination one-step further and produce a tangible item or viable process, solution or procedure is the result of creativity.The importance of creativity is essential to those in order to express feelings, thoughts and ideas in a way that reflects who we are. The outlet or medium is whatever process works best to ensure the individual gets their message across, and the form of expression may be subtle, loud or visual.Expressing creativity is what comes from taking both old and new ideas, melding them together and creating something new and unique out of these ideas. Creative expression comes in many ways and the following list is a sampling of several areas where creativity is used.In a word, creativity is important to all of us, and the real key to being creative lies in what you do with your knowledge. Writers, poets, philosophers all use the written word to express their thoughts by adding to and expanding on pre-conceivedideas. Artists use creativity to express their ideas and visions through painting, wood carving, sculptures, graffiti and photography. Musicians, singers use words and sound to be creative. What about you?I believe you have the answer in your heart and will begin to take action。

Why They Excel
by Fox Butterfield
1 Kim-Chi Trinh was just nine when her father used his savings to buy a passage for her on a fishing boat that would carry her from Vietnam. It was a heartbreaking and costly sacrifice for the family, placing Kim-Chi on the small boat, among strangers, in hopes that she would eventually reach the United States, where she would get a good education and enjoy a better life.

5 Why are Asian-Americans doing so well? Are they grinds, as some stereotypes suggest? Do they have higher IQs? Or can we learn a lesson from them about values we have long treasured but may have misplaced – like hard work, the family and education?

6 Not all Asians are doing equally well; poorly-educated Cambodian refugee children, for instance, often need special help. And many Asian-Americans resent being labeled a “model minority,” feeling that this is reverse discrimination by white Americans – a contrast to the laws that excluded most Asian immigrants from the US until 1965, but prejudice nevertheless.

2. Transitions for comparison and contrast; concession; coordination, etc.
Intensive Study
7 The young Asians’ achievements have led to a series of fascinating studies. Perhaps the most disturbing results come from the research carried out by a University of Michigan psychologist, Harold W. Stevenson, who has compared more than 7,000 students in kindergarten, first grade, third grade and fifth grade in Chicago and Minneapolis with counterparts in Beijing, Taipei and Sendai. On a battery of math tests, the Americans did worst at all grade levels.
