Nowadays it is found that school students seldom pay much attention to sports. Is it because they have no 32 in sports? It may not be the fact. They often say they have 33 more important things to do.
34 are these important things? Examinations! They have to 35 themselves for the most important School Certificates of Education Examination（毕业会考）, and also to 36 with the test and the exams in school. So many of them tend to 37 bookworms.
In the summer holidays of the former years they could do 38 they liked, but in the summer holidays of the 39 years, they have to 40 all their time to the preparation. So studies have 41 them from going in sports.
Because of the pressure 42 their parents and teachers, they have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. Many parents 43 their children to pass this examination in order to get a stepping stone for higher studies or better jobs. As for the 44 themselves, they want to get good results so that they can 45 their studies in the universities. So it is necessary that they 46 up their school activities, especially sports.
Indeed, a complete education cannot go 47 physical training, for a quick mind seldom 48 along with a weak body. It is well said, “All work no play 49 Jack a dull（迟钝的）boy.” In one word, without a strong body, you can never 50 anything, let alone a great success in 51

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can 41 on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll 42 that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had designed myself for a 43 announcer(播音员). So I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got 44 every time.
In one station, a kind lady told me that 45 stations wouldn’t risk employing a person without 46 since I had just graduated. “Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance,” she said.
I returned to Dixon, 47 I had finished my high school education and had 48 in the school football team. My father said that our town had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to 49 its sports department(部门). The job sounded just 50 for me but I wasn’t hired.
My 51 had shown as if by design. “Everything happens for the best,” Mum 52 me. Dad offered me his car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired a/an 53 . 54 I left his office, my frustration boiled over(发怒).I asked aloud, “ 55 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer 56 he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
Suddenly, I heard the director 57.“What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to 58 an imaginary game.
It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 59 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 60 Saturday.

A young student was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly 21 the students’ friend.

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 28 ourselves at the 29 of the poor. But you are 30 , and may give yourself a much greater 31 by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and 32 how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _36_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?” Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 41 . Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43 Christmas there special and memorable, I 44 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 45 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 46 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 47 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 49 them that they couldn’t open their presents 50 every child had come forward. Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
