                        Why do We Play Sports?

    A lot of people play sports; but very few people become athletes. If sports

aren't going to be your career, then why should you play them? Why should you

train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore the next day? Wouldn't it

be better to forget sports and only focus（聚焦）on school?

    There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports First of all, it is a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good moo   D. When you exercise, your body produces chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins give you a lot of energy（能量） and make you feel happier.

    Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important. for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing, but you don't have to pay much attention to them. Think of what you gain.

    Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play soccer, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports also teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and opponents（对手）．

    Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed

    Another good benefit of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days a lot of us spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You breathe fresh air and get a little dirty. All of these things are important.

    You're probably not going to become an athlete, but that doesn't matter.Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun!

More and more people believe that online education is great for learning. It opened a window for everyone who wants to learn something. We have 4 advantages of online learning that will make you think about this type of education

1. More choices

    With online education, you can take any program or course present in

traditional school. And you don't need to travel away from home.

    For example, you're mostly interested in human brain function. All it takes is

a Google search for such online course. You can take such a course only because

you're simply interested in discovering how the human brain works. It doesn't

matter where you live and what you want to study.

2. Comfort

    Forget about having classes for hours and sitting in an uncomfortable chair by

the end of the day. All courses and needed materials are provided（提供）online, so

you'll easily access them from the comfort of your home. You will not take a bus

to get to school; you won't have to get up early for class…The list of comfort goes

on and on.

    Comfort is a strong advantage, but it can go both ways. You mustn't allow

yourself to get too comfortable when studying from home. It would be best to give

up the sofa for few hours a day, or you can't focus on the learning all the time. It is

also bad for your health.

3. Self-paced learning

    When you start search interesting online courses and programs, you'll notice

the self-paced label on most of them. Self-paced learning means that the students

can start and finish learning at any time, and they can plan a learning timetable by

themselves.

    A self-paced system helps them to make progress with rhythm（节奏）that

suits them. That's an advantage the traditional educational system cannot beat.

4. Lower costs

    Online programs are cheaper. The fee for online courses is different from one

program to another. Many online courses are completely free of charge. For

example, you want to have an oral English program provided by California

University. You'll pay $399, but you just need to pay $49 per course online.

    Online courses are more convenient and cheaper than traditional education

The best thing is that you can leam in a relaxed manner. You only need passion for

learning and a quick online search that will take you to the right course. From that

point on, you will be the master of your own education.

34. In the writer's opinion, for online learning,     ．

    A. it is cheaper to learn at traditional schools

    B. it is a good way to study on a sofa at home

    C. it is fast for people to learn by their own steps

    D. it is easy to get more choices of your interests

35. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage?

    A. To encourage us to take the online courses.

    B. To share his experience of online courses.

    C. To introduce the ways of online leaming

    D. To give the examples of online learning.

36. What maybe the best title of the passage?

    A. Online Learning: Is It Harmful to Teen's Health?

    B. Online Learning: A Widely-used Learning Way

    C. Online Learning: Advantage and Disadvantage

    D. Online Learning: Is It Helpful in Education?

The father's area could have　fancy clothes, belts, and watches. Teenagers are hard to choose gifts for. The area of fashionable clothes and shoes would help.A technology（技术）area with all the latest games and music products would be useful, too. The children's toy area could be filled with soft toys, dolls, toy cars and trucks, games and books. A special place for small children would be a great idea. They could do something creative in Children's Workshop. They also could make birthday cards when their parents are shopping.

    The shop could even have a gift registry（登记处）．A gift registry is a list of

gifts that someone would like to have. So when it is going to be your birthday, you

would walk through the shop to make a list of the gifts that you would like to have.

Later your friends, when shopping for your birthday, could choose a gift from your

list. Choosing from a list would make sure that each person gets exactly what they

want from the store.

    A food area for tired and hungry shoppers is important, too. The smell of

coffee and freshly baked cakes served in comfortable areas would make the

shopping experience even better.

    All these would make birthday shopping a wonderful experience. It would

also make everyone happy when they opened their gifts. How wonderful it would

be, if this kind of store was somewhere near you！
