Do you often play sports at school? In the UK, everyone has to play some kinds of sports at school until the age of twenty. On average(平均), 14- to 16-year-old students play about 100 minutes of sports a week at school, but this reduces(减少)to 30 minutes a week for 17- and 18-year-old students. Students who enjoy P.E. can play sports at a sports club after class. Some sports clubs often work together with school to make students play more sports. Here are some students’ ideas about this.
My favorite subject at school is P.E. I like team sports especially basketball. I play for the school team and we play basketball twice a week. (Bake, 15)
I like dancing in the sports center but I dislike playing sports outside when it’s cold or rainy. (Megan, 14)

There is a discussion (讨论) among the students in No. 3 Middle School. They need to run 1,500 meters in the morning every day. How do they like the new decision (决定)? Are they ready to run?
Lin Hai: I’m 13 years old. As Grade 7 students, we usually run 50 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters in PE class, but never 1, 500 meters. But I think the new decision is a good idea. It can help us have good health. Running can also make us active (活跃的) in the daytime.
Ding Li: I’m 15 years old. We only run 400 meters in PE class. Some students say that they may feel tired and sleepy in class after running. But I am OK with it. I can run 1, 000 meters in 3 minutes.
Li Ming: I’m 14 years old. I am a Grade 7 student. I am from Qingdao. We usually run 800 meters in PE class. In winter, we run about four laps (圈) each day. That is close (接近)1, 500 meters. I think it’s good for us.

Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time．
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面)

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment(环境). Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.
Folding(可折叠的) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.
