    Early in the morning, at noon, or in the evening in big cities and in the countryside, all over the United States, you can see Americans running-men and women, young and old.  People run 1-along the beaches of California, 2 Central Park in New York, down quiet streets in small towns or at the gym.  Some people even run in 3 living rooms.

    Running wasn't so popular in the past. In the 1960s, runners were mostly athletes and healthy strong people.  When people saw a runner, they used 4, "Hey, what's the hurry for?" or they might say to 5, "Is he crazy?" At that time, women almost never ran. If they did, they might be laughed at. But today all these have 6 Men and women of all 7 enjoy running.

    Doctors say many of the health problems in the United States 8 these bad habits: eating too much, smoking cigarettes, and taking 9 exercise. Doctors tell us, "Eat less, don't smoke, and exercise more." Running is a good exercise 10 it helps build strong hearts and lungs. It also helps most people lose weight

    During the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.

    But sometimes our hope for getting more gold medals can result in our more disappointment (失望) if the athletes fail to get them. For example, when Liu Xiang, China's track hero, pulled out of the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of his injury (伤势), he greatly disappointed many Chinese sports fans.

    But things are different now. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, we saw a healthier and more lenient (宽容的) Chinese attitude towards the sportspeople, fully in line with the Olympic spirit—that is—friendship, participation, fair play and never give up.

    China didn't win any gold medals on the first day. But, instead of criticizing (批评) the athletes, most of the fans were happy with their efforts. "They have tried their best. Athletes don't feel good after they miss the gold medal." That's the attitude of most audience. It shows the maturity (成熟) of a person, and is also a development of a country.

    Swimmer Fu Yuanhui won fans' hearts, even though she only won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final. Her fans on her Sina Weibo have increased from 100,000 to over 6 million. Many sports fans like her straightforward character and attitude towards competitions.

    "The attitude towards the Olympics has got to a higher level. We are happy to see this warm change." said an article in People's Daily.

    These days, it is found that school students hardly have any sports. Is it because they have no interest        sports? It may not be the fact. School students often say they have much more important things to do.

           are these important things? Exams! School students have to get        (they) ready for all kinds of exams and tests in school. So many of them almost become bookworms (书呆子). In        past, they could do anything that they liked in the summer holidays, but now they have to spend all their time preparing for the exams. So studies have kept them away from        (go) in for sports.

    Because of the pressure from born their parents and        (teacher), school students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for the students themselves, they don't want to fail the lessons        they want to go further with their studies in good universities. So it is necessary        (give) all of their spare time to their studies and give up their sports.

    Actually, sports should always come        (one). A good education cannot go without physical training. It's also true that a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak body. Without a strong body, it's hard to do things        (good). Then how can you make great success in life?

    Why not take a breath out of your study? Go out and take sports!

                            fail in the driving test again.

At that time, they                             on the beach.
