Dear Chris，
I'm writing to tell you something about the sports meeting we held at the school stadium last Wednesday．
We had all kinds of traditional events this time，during which three boys from my class and I took part in the 4×100m relay race．At the beginning，we were in first place．Unfortunately，I fell down when I took the stick from another boy．Although I stood up and kept on running，we were the last to reach the finishing line．All the audience still cheered loudly for me because I didn't give up．
Do you often take part in the sports meeting at your school？Please write and share with me．
Yours，
Li Hua
Ⅲ．【参考范文】
Jessie looked ahead and some runners raced by．She felt anxious and tired．When her brother's eager eyes came into her mind，she tried her best to stand up again and continued to run forward．She felt severe pain in her legs，but she didn't stop running．She kept running，surpassing one runner after another．Finally，there were only two runners left in front of her．She ran across the key line，won third place，and got her dream sports shoes．
Full of joy，Jessie walked home quickly．Holding the sports shoes she won，she seemed to see her brother's happy expression．As soon as she entered the house，her brother rushed over．He couldn't wait to put on sports shoes and ran excitedly．Then he hugged Jessie and said，“Thank you，sister．You are my pride．”Looking at his brother's happiness，Jessie felt that everything was worth it．She secretly decided to create a better life for her family through her own efforts in the future．

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter's day．But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come．The researchers said other“structured”activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in physical exercise．The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten，with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn't．
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten．Professor Linda Pagani said，“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up．By the time they reached the fourth grade，kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom．There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team，a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities．”
Researchers began studying 2，694 Canadian children around the age of six，with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school．Meanwhile，the children's parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life．The exercise was repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had．
Professor Pagani said，“We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten．Nevertheless，we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade．”The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand．Professor Pagani added，“The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low achievement in schools．”

Pilates(普拉提)，yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to keep fit．There is，however，a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive，but has all the benefits—walking．
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains，“What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level．Plus it is good for your heart，your head and your wallet．”
A recent report detailed(详述) the health benefits of walking．The report found that walking regularly to fulfill(执行) the 150 minutes of moderate(适度的)physical exercise every week，recommended by the UK's chief medical officer，could save 37，000 lives each year．
Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduced the risk of heart disease more effectively than running．They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%，while running reduced it by 4.5%.And there is even more good news：30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily，according to research by Oregon State University．The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day．
The sooner you get started，the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body．So，go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space．

Jessie was standing by the door looking across the road．A group of boys were playing football，running and shouting．And a small boy was sitting on the ground watching．It was her little brother Felix．“How small and thin he was！”Jessie said to herself．Jessie was an African girl living in a poor neighborhood in Kenya with her parents and her little brother Felix．Their parents were working from morning till night，but they still found it hard to make ends meet．And sometimes they even couldn't have enough money for food．And things were becoming more difficult as their mother became ill．Jessie looked at her brother again．She could tell how he longed for a pair of sports shoes even without looking at his eyes．He really wanted them．She couldn't remember how many times he had told her about it．But what could she do She sighed and went into the room．
Jessie went to school as usual and when she went into the classroom，she found her classmates a bit excited．“Have you heard the news that a long-distance race would be held in our area？”Hye，her best friend asked．“No，”Jessie replied casually．“Oh，there will be some prizes．Even third prize can be a pair of good sports shoes ...”Hye continued．For the rest of the day，Jessie didn't know what her teachers were saying．What she knew was that she would take part and she ran all the way back home to tell Felix about the big news and promised that she would get them for him．
The big day finally came．Jessie had a good start，but she began to get tired halfway．But she tried her best to stay behind the first two runners．Her legs began to ache and suddenly，she collided with another runner and she crashed to the ground．
