Playing sports is a lot of fun. But getting hurt is unavoidable. 【小题1】

Wear protective equipment.

The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets(头盔)are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball and softball, biking and so on.

Warm up.

【小题2】 Doing some stretching exercises can get you prepared to play sports. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.

Know the rules of the games.

Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them--at least most of the time.【小题3】 When players know the rules of the games, fewer injuries will happen. For example，you know that in football you can’t come from behind, crash into a player's legs and steal the ball. It's legal-and safer-to go after the ball rather than the player.

【小题4】

Some rules have nothing to do with scoring points, They are just about protecting other people. For example, a diver would make sure that the pool is clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.

【小题5】

This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back to the game even you’re injured. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.

Being a good neighbor matters-not only because it makes life more pleasant, but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.

Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. 【小题1】, give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it’s appropriate to back off (退避).

【小题2】. Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to be moving some heavy furniture, or needs help in fixing something you know your way around, offer to help out. Once you’re getting familiar, this assistance can also extend to things like house-sitting (替人看家) or collecting the mail while your neighbor is away. Eventually, the day may come when you’re asked to take care of their kids. 【小题3】 if you accept it.

It should go without saying that pet owners need to care for their animals properly. 【小题4】. There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns (草坪) as a toilet, or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard. Don’t mess around—be a kind and responsible pet owner.

There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn’t. 【小题5】. Turn the music down a bit after sunset, and further reduce the volume as it gets toward 10 p.m. It’s usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.

Everybody needs a hobby. Having something you can do for fun is a great way to reduce stress and keep your mind occupied. 【小题1】 Here are some suggestions if you’re not sure what to pick up next.

Writing is a good way to decompress (减压) and be creative. You can write about anything you want! Writing can help you deal with stress or anxiety. 【小题2】 Other hobbies can get expensive quickly, but writing won’t cost more than a few notebooks and pens.

Learning an instrument is another great stress reducer. Listening to music is a great way to reduce stress—and so is playing it. Learning to play an instrument is both relaxing and fulfilling. You have so many options to pick from, from the violin to piano. 【小题3】

Indoor or outdoor gardening is a great hobby for stress reduction. 【小题4】 Gardening is a great hobby that takes dedication but offers great rewards. Not only does it help to reduce stress, but you’ll be able to harvest what you grow, or at least enjoy the aesthetics (美学).

【小题5】 Do you like to work with your hands? Why not get crafty and create projects you can use in your everyday life? Craft-based hobbies are great stress-busters (压力消除器) and give you the satisfaction of making something with your own hands. Your friends and family will love thoughtful gifts you make just for them!

And remember, your hobby should ease your stress, not cause more! Have fun with it. Explore and create.
