Today it is found that school students hardly pay much attention to sports．It is because they have no interest in sports? It may not be the fact．They often say they have other more important things to do．
What are these important things? Examination! They have to spend much time on all kinds of examinations and tests at school，so many of them almost become bookworm(书呆子)．In the summer holidays of the last year，they had to put all the time to their study．So books stopped them from enjoying sports．
Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers，they have to work harder and spend most of their time on books．As for the students themselves，they want to get good results so that they can go to famous high schools．So it seems necessary to stop their school sports for saving more time to study．
In fact，education cannot go without physical exercise，because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak body．If you don’t have a strong body, you can never achieve anything，let alone(更不用说)a great success in your life．_______ the greatest problem，so the school students don’t pay attention to sports now．

In my second year of high school, the class was scheduled to run the mile. when the coach yelled, "Ready. Set. Go!", I rushed out like an airplane, faster than anyone else for the first 20 feet. I made up my mind to finish first. As we came around the first of four laps, there were students all over the track (跑道). By the end of the second lap, many of the students had already stopped. They had given up and were on the ground breathing heavily. As I started the third lap, only a few of my classmates were on the track. By the time I hit the fourth lap, I was alone. Then it hit me that nobody had given up. Instead, everyone had already finished. As I ran that last lap, I cried. And 12 minutes, 42 seconds after starting, I crossed the finishing line. I fell to the ground. I was very upset.
Suddenly my coach ran up to me and picked me up, yelling, "You did it. Mark! You finished, son. You finished" He looked at me straight in the eyes, waving a piece of paper in his hand. It was my goal (目标 ) for the day which I had forgotten. I had given it to him before class. He read it aloud to everyone. It simply said, "I, Mark Brown, will finish the mile run tomorrow, come what may." My heart lifted. My tears went away, and I had a smile on my face as if I had eaten a banana. My classmates clapped.

A man bought a new pair of trousers for his primary school mates’reunion（重聚） dinner. When he tried it out at home, he found that the trousers were too long by 10cm.
He asked his mother to help him shorten the pants. His mother said she could not do it as she was not feeling well. So the man asked his wife .His wife said she was very tired that night, so she could not help him. Then the man asked his daughter.

Later that night, his mother thought to herself, "My son has been very nice to me.I’ll just help him before going to bed." So she shortened the pants by 10cm.

If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend? That would be Rover, Glow, Ivan, or Raina. These four dogs donated (捐献) blood to other dogs. And they did it without having to travel far from home. They visited an animal bloodmobile (血液车).
Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania’s animal bloodmobile goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give. Kym Marryott is manager of Penn’s Animal Blood Bank. “You don’t really think about it until you need it,” Marryott said. “Just like us, dogs need blood too.”
Like humans, not every dog can donate blood. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. About 150 dogs take part in the program. Each donates three or four pints a year, which can help animals suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accidental trauma (意外伤) like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs. Just like people, the dogs get a snack and a heart-shaped “U of P Blood Donor” sticker after giving. In addition, they receive free dog food to take home.
Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black dog, Raina, to the bloodmobile last week. “I was excited that she had the right blood which could help another dog out,” she said. “We’ll do it again.”
Where did the dogs donate blood?
| A．In a zoo. | B．In their homes. |
| C．In an animal hospital. | D．In an animal bloodmobile. |
Which of the following dogs can probably donate blood?
| A．Mary,3 years old,25 pounds. | B．Kate,6 years old,60 pounds. |
| C．Tony,10 years old,56 pounds. | D．Cindy,8 years old,50 pounds. |
What can each dog get after donating blood?
①A snack②A suit of clothes
③Some dog food④A heart-shaped sticker⑤A toy car

| B．Sandy Lucas wants to get dog food for her dog. |
| C．Sandy Lucas doesn’t think that donating blood is good for dogs. |
