Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that the sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为……承担责任) serious water shortage (短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of daily power walking can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be " green gyms". They are better replacements(巷代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership (会员份). And best of all, it's free.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 61 . If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap (代沟) .
Don' t argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. 62 . Co to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise （和解) . Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.
63 . Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. 64 .
Talk about your values. 65 . Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.
Do you mind being called a bad student?
Of course. So far as I know, everybody 66 a model student.
However, to be 67 student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to 68 .Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his behavior is not 69 ,no one will consider 70 with him.

In our school, we have a fire emergency response practice(火警应急演习) in September every year. So we know where to go if there is a fire in school. We learn to use the fire extinguisher(灭火器), too.
