You change the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there’s nothing on television that gets your attention. Not a problem! Throw on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.
One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you don’t need expensive equipment(装备). All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you don’t need much equipment don’t be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.
Running makes your heart， lungs， and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen(氧气) intake， so you don’t get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.
How do you take part in the sport if you don’t know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs， but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.
Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race， you’ll see people cheering for all the runners， from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn’t always about how fast you are or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and doing it. Taking part is more important than competition， and effort is recognized over gift.
If you’re looking for more than just a sport， running may be the perfect choice for you.Which of the following is true?
| A．Running helps you win a marathon. |
| B．Running helps you improve your study. |
| C．Running helps you think more about yourself. |
| D．Running helps you set realistic goals in your life. |
What is the most important for runners in a race?
| A．Having fun. |
| B．Receiving respect. |
| C．Trying their best. |
| D．Winning the competition. |

| B．Running： Easy or Difficult |
| C．Running and Watching TV |
| D．Running： a Sport or a Way of Life |
Christian Bucks may be young， but he sure knows how to be a good friend. When the York， Pennsylvania， second-grader noticed that some of his schoolmates didn’t have anyone to play with during the break time， he came up with a way to help them.

“We show we care about others when we ask others to play，” Christian told reporters.
Christian first learned about buddy benches when his family was considering moving to Germany. He saw a buddy bench in a handbook for a German school and thought it would be a great way to fight loneliness on the playground at his own school， Roundtown Elementary School.
Christian told Roundtown’s headteacher， Matthew Miller， about his idea at the end of last school year. Miller immediately decided to get a buddy bench. He had Christian pick out its style and bright colors.

Each December， I promised to make Christmas a relaxed and peaceful experience. I didn’t spend too much time on card writing， endless cooking and decorating. Yet still， I found myself tired， unable to enjoy the valuable family moments， and of course， to understand the true meaning of .
Christmas came again. My son， Nicholas， was in primary school that year. It was a very season for a six-year-old. For weeks， he’d been memorizing songs for his school’s “Winter Celebration.” All the parents were invited to be present at their show.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him I’d be working. Unwilling to his shining moment， I spoke with his teacher. She told me there’d be a dress rehearsal(彩排) the morning of the presentation. All unable to be present that evening were welcome to come then.
So， on the of the dress rehearsal， I arrived ten minutes early. Around the room， I saw several other parents. Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday as “Christmas”， I didn’t anything other than fun. So， when my son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”， I was a little bit surprised by its title.
Nicholas was excited， as were all of his classmates. Those in the front row held up large letters， one by one， to out the title of the song. As the class would sing “C is for Christmas，” a child would hold up the letter C. Then， “H is for Happy，” and on and on all the children presented the complete message “Christmas Love”.
The show was going smoothly， until suddenly， a small， quiet， girl in the front row held the letter “M” upside down — totally not knowing her letter “M” appeared as a “W”. The audience(观众) laughed at this little girl’s . But she had no idea why they were laughing at her， so she stood tall， holding her “W”. The laughter continued until the last letter was raised， and we all saw it together. A sudden came over the audience and eyes began to widen. At that moment， we understood why we were there and why we the holiday.
For when the last letter was held high， the message read loud and clear： “CHRIST WAS LOVE”.
