Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature .However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice 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 tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場(chǎng)) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage 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 keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
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 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. And best of all, it’s free.

      Mr. Harris worked in Dover, but then he changed his job, and he and   his wife 1 to another town. They did not have many friends there,   2 they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks   they often went to 3 or to parties at other people's houses.

       Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, "We've been 4 lots of other people's houses, and now we must    5 them to our house, mustn't we?"

       "Yes, 6 ," answered her husband. "A big party will be the   easiest, won't it?"

       Mrs. Harris said, "Yes, I'll invite all our friends here to a 7 party on December 5th."

       "How many will that be?" Mr. Harris asked. "Don't invite too many."   Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the 8 when her husband saw that   she was writing, "Party: 6:30 9 8:30 pm."

       "That isn't very 10 , is it?" he said. "You're telling our   guests that they must 11 at 8:30." So Mrs. Harris    12 wrote, "Party: 6:30 pm." A lot of guests came, and they all had a    13 time, so they did not go home at 8:30.    14 , they were still there 15 when the door bell rang and a    16 arrived. He said, "You must stop making    17 , because 18 has complained (抱怨)."

         Mr. Harris said he did not want to    19 with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were    20 to have to go. When Mr. and Mrs.   Harris were 21 again, she said to him, "That was a    22 , wasn't it? Who complained about the 23 ?"     " 24 did," Mr. Harris answered in a    25 voice.

 While I was at school, I  1  train with Spurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I also    2  for English schoolboys, so I suppose I was    3  a school boy star.

  

 I didn't really get into  4  at school. I had my two elder brothers there for    5  of the time that I was there, so my stay at the school wasn't that hard.    6  other children had a really hard time.

  

 I left  7  the end of the Fourth Year, and that caused a bit of trouble. I was allowed    8  maths and technical drawing early. I passed them    9  , but unfortunately I failed in woodwork. If I'd stayed on    10  12 subjects like the other children.

  

 It was a big decision to leave early so as  11  take all my exams. It could have meant that I'd wasted    12  years. But how many could get the    13  that I had? I'm told that only one in 1000 makes it in    14  , so you have only a very slim chance. But I decided to go for it and looking back it was the    15  thing to do.

  

 I didn't support Spurs  16  a boy. I supported QPR, my local team. But to play for Spurs,    17  had just won the FA Cup, was interesting to me. There were so many    18  , and of course Bill Nicholson was the    19  thena great manager.

 I didn't have any girlfriends at  20  .I was  21  deeply involved (陷于) in football that I didn't have time.    22  I don't have direct contact with my old school friends, I own a sports    23  in the area, so they often drop into the shop and talk about the old days,    24  is really nice. I'm always pleased to see them.

  

 I would advise anyone  25  to be a footballer to stay on at school to do their exams. If a club wants you badly enough they'll come in for you later.
