One day a lonely girl found two weak birds while she was walking in the woods (树林). She took them home and put them in a small cage. She fed them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a beautiful song. The girl loved them very much and wanted their singing to last forever. One day the girl left the cage"s door open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew out of the cage. The girl watched worriedly as it circled (盘旋) high above her. She was afraid that it would fly away and she would never see it again. So when it flew close, she grasped (抓) at it wildly. She was very happy that she held it tightly within her hand! Suddenly, she felt something had happened to the bird. She opened her hand and was surprised to find the bird was dead. Her love for the bird killed it. She noticed the other bird jumping in the cage. She could feel that it wanted to be free. It hoped to fly into the clear, blue sky. She lifted (举起) it from the cage and flew it into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times… When the bird was flying happily in the sky, she was so glad. Just then the bird flew closer and sat softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest song she had ever heard. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it tight; the best way to keep love is to let it fly! |

If you"re into sports, you"ve seen it happen-tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match; football players exchange jerseys (运动衣) after ninety minutes of knocking each other around; even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event, from spelling bees to golf (高尔夫球), act in this way. It"s all part of sportsmanship (体育精神), a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match. Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years, you might see some players celebrate a goal (进球) with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it"s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It"s the golden rule of sports. Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting, for example, it"s more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition-as in life-you may not always win, but believe me, sportsmanship will help you get through, and there is always the next match. |
