I am applying a volunteer position for the games. Personally, I consider me a qualified candidate from the follow three aspects. Firstly, as a sports fan, my sports talents let me to fit in any volunteer position. Secondly, my fluently English will enable me to well understand the needs of sportsmen than others, and thus offer timely help. Thirdly, my voluntary experiences have not only strengthened my team spirit, but also equip me with practical skills and knowledges.

I keep passion for sports, but I hope to make a contribution to this world sports event. I would appreciate it when I am offered this opportunity. I have attached my resume and look forward to an interview.

The kite is a symbol of the Chinese handicraft.  (fly) a kite is a very popular activity in all generations in China. It is easy to find the scene, where there are large numbers of people gathering to the squares and holding lines (control) beautiful kites in the blue sky. 

Making and playing kites became very popular in Weifang area, Shandong Province during the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, every year in spring  the Tomb-Sweeping Day came, the weather became warm. It was  good time to display the kites as well as enjoy the warm weather and the fresh air. The tradition has been well kept until today and has become the world-famous Weifang International Kite Festival, which  (celebrate) from 20th to 25th in April every year. Since 1984, dozens of countries and regions from all over the world (join) in the festival. 

Teams from home and abroad gather here to fly  (they) well-designed kites to the sky. Apart the traditional patterns such as swallows, butterflies, and triangles, you will be amazed by the (create) thinking shown in these kites. There are animals like fish, dragons, dolphins, cartoon (figure) like Flower Fairies, Supermen, and other shapes like spaceships, and satellites. People say there is nothing you cannot fly to the sky in Weifang.

Standing on the shore of a lake, I can't help but feel surprised at the thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from 1 surfaces, their edges softening over time. I wonder, "Can we learn from a pile of rocks?"

Even the tallest mountains have 2 ; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock, I've found my 3 has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.

4 , I was also a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and I'm more 5 . I'm less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can 6 together.

But I'm not a 7 . I'm a human filled with all the drama built into my DNA．

Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several young men to 8 for not wearing masks. Not 9 and not rude. On the door read a sign, "Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can to 10 this together."

The group of young men wanted to 11 about the note. I sat at the restaurant watching, understanding both sides. I've been one of them before, using my youthful edges to chip away at (削弱) the world. What I lost, 12 , was the ability to grow from 13 by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more 14 , I've also found more happiness and success.

You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to 15  and make room for others, while the latter never give an 16  to accommodate others.

17 , like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to 18 the world from someone else's point of view.

I placed a 19  stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding a 20  again.

Football clubs have existed since the 15th century, but unorganized and without official status. It is therefore hard to decide which the first football club was.

Early clubs were formed by former school students.In the beginning, football was dominated by public school teams. Later, teams consisting of workers made up the majority.

Another change took place when some clubs became willing to pay the best players to join their team. In the 1880s, the interest in the game moved ahead to a level that tickets were sold to the matches. And finally, in 1885 professional football was legalized. Three years later, the Football League was established.

Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup) became the first important competition in 1871. The following year a match between England and Scotland was played for the first time. That was followed by 4,000 people at Hamilton Crescent.

Football was for a long time a British phenomenon.The first game outside Europe occurred in Argentina in 1867. But it was foreign British workers who were involved and not its domestic citizens.

Then the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was founded. England and the other British countries did not join FIFA from the start. They had invented the game and saw no reason to obey an association.

In 1908, football was included as an official sport in the Olympic Games. Until the first FIFA World Cup was played in 1930, the Olympic Games football tournament ranked as the greatest on a national level.

A．Other milestones were now to follow.

B．Still, they joined in the following year.

C．Thus, football was played all over the world.

D．But it gradually spread to other European countries.

E．Until now, FIFA still plays a major role in the world.

F．And the first of this kind was formed in Sheffield in 1855.

G．The motivation behind this was not only to win more matches.

A remarkable new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century has implications for the way they react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.

The paper is authored by Whitehead and Rendellt at Dalhousie University and their research addresses an age-old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed? The answer? They didn't. Using newly logbooks detailing the hunting of whales in the north Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers' harpoons (鱼叉) fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to an astonishing conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made vital changes to their behaviour. They learned quickly from their mistakes.

"Sperm whales have a traditional way of reacting to attacks from orca (杀人鲸)," notes Whitehead. Before humans, orca were their only predators (捕食者), against whom sperm whales form defensive circles, their powerful tills held outwards to keep predators at bay, "But such techniques just made it easier for the whalers to kill them," says Whitehead.

Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. Information about the new dangers may have been passed on in the same way they share knowledge about feeding grounds. They also possess the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them.

The hunters themselves realized the whales' efforts to escape. They saw that the animals appeared to communicate the threat within their attacked groups. Abandoning their usual defensive formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters, ships, themselves wind-powered.

Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial destruction by 20th-century whaling fleets, whose steamships and grenade harpoons no whale could escape from, they face new threats created by our technology. "They're having to learn not to get hit by ships, cope with the depredations (劫掠) of long line fishing, the changing source of their food due to climate change," Whitehead says. "The same sort of urgent social learning the animals experienced in the whale wars of two centuries ago is reflected in the way they negotiate today's uncertain world."

Traditionally, profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber (木材)——choosing commercial timber. Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it's of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit. Money is not everything. We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources. But money is a fact of life.

Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue (收益) stream. Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all. Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species.

A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields (产物). Besides eatable yields——top fruit, berries, and food crops, it produces substances for chemical use. The non-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems will vary significantly depending on where they are. But there're almost always ways to explore to acquire revenue.

A project in the U.K. shows woodland is also a draw for visitors. It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland. The sale of handmade wooden items and non-timber forest products is involved. But the community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site. It also offers courses on nest building, special wildlife events and more. The project is thought to have great uniqueness. In terms of revenue, it centers round the existing natural land; the yields woodland can provide become side products.

Recreational activities, tours, and classes are just the commencement. A rich and biodiverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in people looking for a beautiful place to stay. Woodland has great value in ecological and social terms. And when you nurse it, it could also add to the income from your land.
