5. Sports and Games(體育運(yùn)動)
1. What fun it is to jump into a pool or go swimming in a river in summer! How joyful and relaxing it is to have a game of
table tennis after a day of study at school! And how exciting it is to play or watch a close game of basketball or volleyball!
All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports. Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation
that almost all can enjoy, whether boys or girls, men or women, young or old.
1、夏天跳進(jìn)池塘或到江河里游泳多么有趣!一天的學(xué)習(xí)之后打一場乒乓球賽多么令人輕松愉快!參加或觀看一場勢均力敵的籃球賽或排球賽多么令人興奮!全世界千百萬人們參加各種各樣的運(yùn)動。體育運(yùn)動大概是幾乎所有人都喜愛的最普遍的令人松弛的娛樂形式，男女老少都很喜歡體育運(yùn)動。
2. Some people seem to think that sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working,
instead of going to the cinema, watching TV, listening to the radio, or sleeping. But in fact sports and games can be of great value,
especially to people who work with their brains. They should not be treated only as amusements.
2、有些人似乎認(rèn)為體育活動不是什么重要的事情，只是人們在不工作的時候，不看電影，不看電視，不聽廣播，不睡覺時才去參加的活動。其實，體育運(yùn)動很有價值，特別是對腦力勞動者大有好處。體育運(yùn)動不應(yīng)僅僅被當(dāng)作娛樂活動來對待。
3. Sports and games build our bodies, prevent us from gaining weights, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses.
They give us valuable practice in helping the eyes, brain and muscles to work together. In table tennis, the eyes see the ball coming,
judge its speed and direction, and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and sends its orders
to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where the player wants it to go. All this must happen
with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at table tennis can do this successfully. For those who work with
their brains, the practice of such skills is especially useful.
3、體育運(yùn)動增強(qiáng)體質(zhì)，防止我們發(fā)胖，使我們保持身體健康。但體育運(yùn)動的作用不僅僅限于這些方面。體育運(yùn)動給我們的眼睛、大腦和肌肉以寶貴的鍛煉，促使它們協(xié)同工作。打乒乓球時，眼睛看到球打過來，判斷其速度和方向，馬上將這個信息傳給大腦。接著大腦得決定怎么辦，并立即將其命令傳達(dá)給手臂、腿等人體部分的肌肉，結(jié)果球被擊回到運(yùn)動員希望它著落的地方。整個行動必須以最快的速度發(fā)生，只有那些訓(xùn)練有素的人才能成功地完成。對那些腦力勞動者來說，這樣的技能實踐特別管用，尤其有益。
4. Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as selflessness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country, but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child’s character as what is learned through experience. The ordinary school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the students’
