with her family because she had to continue her studies in America. She even said shewould not come
back for at least a few years. Tiffany became 1 and helpless. "I wasreally sad the moment I heard the
bad news and I didn"t know what to do," Tiffany recalled (回忆). "I 2 myself in my room for a whole
week. It was then that my aunt took me to asports club one Saturday and I saw" so many young people
playing various sports there. I signedup for a beginners" course in volleyball and since then I have been
playing this sport. Now I practise twice a week there. It is wonderful playing sports in this club and I
have made lots of 3 as well. What"s more, I feel I am much healthier than before."
The most basic aim of playing sports is that you can improve your health even if you are not very
good at sports. 4 , you can get to know a circle of people at your age while playing sports. Tiffany
used to be a very quiet girl. Since she joined the sports club, she has opened up herself and now she
has become very 5 and enjoys meeting and talking with others.
For most people, that is one of the attractions of joining a sports club. You can get to knowother
young people who have similar interests. You don"t have to sit down and talk to strangers.You go in
for sports and it is easier to understand your partners on the same team. Now Tiffany is quite 6 her
friends and she has also gained more confidence.
Try to do regular sports. The mind needs exercise as well as the body.

Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the US dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world"s leading business centres. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done.
As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television.
Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels - the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers - before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2014 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home.
Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as
important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer.
According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a
few decades (十年) and then spend her time on music and painting.
