22、Spring lifts our spirits and makes us full of energy. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from a park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees(李子树). I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans(天鹅) every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted(打断)by a high sound going on for some time.Therefore, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me; the baby swan can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor?”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and pull the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important—because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality—at one with Nature.

24、Once upon a time, when you first attended a youth sporting event, your parents probably weren’t expecting you to become a professional athlete. They signed up for a basketball, football or swimming course for you in the hope that you might learn lessons about winning in a gentlemanly way, losing with dignity and insisting on it when things get tough. Yes, doing sports improves health, but it is the life lessons that matter most.
For many of us, instead of struggling to improve our minds and spirits, we began judging progress only by the size of our muscles or the numbers on a weighing machine. For us, the thought that athletic competition is about greater life lessons and the building of character has been overshadowed by headlines about professional athletes.
“And yet there’s still strong evidence that sports strongly foster certain personal qualities,” says Angela Lumpkin, Professor of the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kansas. And that’s true for athletes of any age. Amateur sports provide a safe place for competition. They also provide a practice ground for managing stress.
The advantages of taking part in a sport can seep(透) into your professional life, too. In basketball, for example, “Getting everyone to play the right role on the court is the key to success,” says Alan Arlt, the founder of the Life Time Fitness basketball program Ultimate Hoops. “That is certainly useful in the business world, where everyone understands their own role in the organization.” In addition, “In athletic events, you go through good and bad times often in the period of two hours,” says former NBA head coach Flip Saunders. “Do you have the calm manner to settle yourself down, or do you totally lose it and get thrown out of the game which hurts both you and your team? All of that on-court experience has impacted the way you approach situations in reality.”
【1】What would parents expect when their children joined in sports?
A．To get through obstacles with perseverance.
B．To enhance their comprehensive fitness level.
C．To defeat opponents with the burning ambition.
D．To win as many professional games as possible.
【2】What do many people do according to the article?
A．They play sports to evaluate the size of the muscles.
B．They keep playing sports to improve mental health.
C．They still hold the idea that sports can better build characters.
D．They pay more attention to the news of professional athletes.
【3】Why does the author mention “Amateur sports” in Paragraph 3?
A．To clarify a concept.
B．To illustrate Lumpkin’s idea.
C．To make a prediction.
D．To present a phenomenon.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about taking part in a sport?
A．Keys to success in basketball and in athletic events.
B．The significance of understanding the role on the count.
C．Its influences on our career life and on how to address real-life situations.
D．Ways to keep calm in athletic events and the application in real circumstances.
