22、 Do you love swimming? How about riding a bike? Does running make you happy? Have you ever combined (混合) the three activities into one race? If you have, then you know all about the triathlon (铁人三项).
In February 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaiian Islands to argue: which sports in the world is the most exciting and challenging to test a person's will and strength? Some said it was football, some said it was swimming across the sea, and some said it was long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathons and so on. They expressed their opinions and argued. In the end, Brigadier General John Collins said: who can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough (风大浪急的) sea in one day, ride a bicycle 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run the 42.195 kilometers Honolulu Marathon. Collins's idea was supported by everyone, so 15 people took part in the game the next day, including one female player. As a result, the race was completed. Such a new type of sports was born in this adventurous situation.
After the birth of the Triathlon in Hawaii, it was at first popular only in Hawaii and California, and gradually spread widely in Australia, New, Zealand, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. A triathlon involves three activities. They are swimming, cycling and running. Competitors (比赛者) race in order as one continuous (连续的) event without resting.
The triathlon dates back to the 1920s in France. At that time, a race called "Les Trois Sports" challenged competitors to swim across a river, ride a bike for 12 kilometers and run for three kilometers.
The modern triathlon got its start in America in the 1970s. It first appeared in Olympic history at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The Olympic triathlon consists of (由……组成) a 1.5- kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run.
If you're not ready for an Olympic triathlon, don't worry. Triathlons come in different lengths. There are mini triathlons designed for beginners. They consists of a 0.8-kilometer swim, a 24.1-kilometer bike ride and a 4.8- kilometer run. Do you want to have a try?

23、All over the world, people are planting trees, caring for them, and learning about their value. A special day was set aside for planting trees.
Here in the United States, we call this tree-planting festival Arbor Day. In Japan, it is called Greening Week. In Israel it is called the New Year’s Day of the trees. Korea has a Tree-loving Week. Iceland has a Student’s Afforestation Day. This means “to change open land into forest”. People in India celebrate a National Festival of Tree Planting. Whatever people call this special time of year, they are saying that trees are important to us all.
Arbor Day began in the United States in 1872 in Nebraska. J.Sterling Morton, a newspaperman, knew how important trees were to the land so he began the idea. The state offered prizes to the groups and people who planted the most trees. On that first Arbor Day, the people of Nebraska planted more than one million trees. Today, Arbor Day is celebrated in all 50 states and around the world.
Why trees are so important to us all:
※ Trees give us shade(荫蔽) to keep us and our homes cool on hot summer days.

24、 When I was in the seventh grade, I volunteered at a hospital during the summer vacation. Most of the time I was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about him. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him. He became a close friend of mine, although he never replied to me. Mr. Gillespie was still in a coma (昏迷).
I was away for a week to go on vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie wasn't in the hospital. I didn't want to ask the nurses where he was. I was afraid they might tell me he was dead. However, I kept volunteering there for a long time.
Several years passed. One day, when I was at the gas station, I noticed a familiar face. I asked him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he was in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied, "Yes." I explained how I knew him and what I did in the hospital. With tears in his eyes, he gave me a warm hug (拥抱).
He told me that when he was in a coma, he could hear me talking and feel me holding his hand. He thought it was an angel (天使), not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie believed that my voice and touch kept him alive.
Although I haven't seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and death. More importantly, he has made a very big difference to my life, too. I'll never forget him and what he did for me—he made me an angel.
