    We had a sports meeting last Saturday. It was a big 1 in our school.

    Wu Ying, who is usually the best runner in our class, 2 fell and hurt her leg me day before the sports meeting. It was ten o'clock in the morning. It was 3 for the girls' 800-metre race with two laps (圈). My classmates asked me to run the race. But I'm not a good runner. 4 should I do?

    "Just try!" my teacher said. " 5 in yourself!" my classmates said.

    "OK."

    On the first lap, the girl from Class 2 was in the front. She ran much faster than I did. 6 I did my best to catch up with her in the race.

    "Come on!" When I passed the seats of my classmates. I could 7 them shouting. "Run! Run!"

    I was just running and running. I must catch up with her. At that time l was not far behind her. At the end of the 8 lap, we were neck and neck.

    "Come on! Come on!" I could still hear my classmates shouting.

    "Come on! Come on!" I said to myself too.

    There, the finishing line was right before us. We 9 it at the same time. Both she and I took the third place.

    "Hooray!" the students called out to me. "Well done!"

    But I was too 10 to go any farther and fell to the ground.

    Sumo wrestling (相扑) is a national sport in Japan. Every year there are six tournaments, and millions of Japanese watch them on television. A tournament is a series of matches.

    Sumo wrestling is almost as old as the nation of Japan itself. Stories say that there was sumo wrestling over 2,000 years ago. There are written records of national sumo tournaments in the 8th century.

    In many sports, athletes are thin and can move very quickly. However, sumo wrestlers weigh from 100 to 160 kilograms. One famous wrestler weighed 195 kilograms. Sumo wrestlers do not move quickly, and sumo wrestling is a very slow sport.

    Sumo wrestlers start hard training when they are boys. They exercise to make their bodies strong. They also eat a lot.

    They wrestle in a round ring with a sand floor. A wrestler loses the match if he leaves the ring. He is also the loser if any part of his body except his feet touches the floor. Each wrestler tries to push the other down on the floor or out of the ring. Sometimes one wrestler just steps aside when the other wrestler rushes towards him. Then, the wrestler who is rushing falls down or moves out of the ring.

    Sumo wrestling is not very popular in other countries, but the Japanese think that it is a very exciting sport.

    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!
