My daughter, 15, has been in karate (空手道) since the first grade, and has been in high honor and gifted classes. My 11-year-old son, Tom, for years would fight with me over everything. If I said the sky was blue, he would say it was black. For years he was falling several subjects. We took games away, then TV and finally the smart phone; we tried a reward program, but nothing worked long. He would bring a grade up to get all his things back, and then go back to where he had been.
My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class, and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around. At first he didn't like it because he had to ask for permission to do everything and he had to say "yes, sir" and "no, sir" for everything. He even had to respect his sister because she was of a high level. So he wanted to stop. However, my husband told my son, "If I can do this at the age of 40, so can you." And since then my husband would learn martial arts three or four times a week with them.
My son learned so much about a better way of living: respecting others, following the rules, and above all, respecting himself. I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students, and we could not be closer than we are.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry (资源饥渴). 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 in good condition. This causes major environment 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 can 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 sports 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 replacement for traditional health clubs and modern sports stadiums. 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.

A. It is unpopular in Portugal and Spain.
B. It causes water shortage around the world.
C. It protects the earth from chemicals and waste.

A. Resource-hungry sports.

Do you like making paper planes? If you like origami (折纸), we're sure you enjoy making paper planes, too. All it takes is some paper and a new simple supply. And paper planes can be fun to fly around the houses or outside the yard.
No one knows for sure when the first paper plane was created. Sometimes, historians give credit to Leonardo da Vinci. However, paper folding and kite making were both popular in Asia hundreds of years ago, so it's likely that the first paper plane may have been made long, long ago.
In some Asian countries, the art of folding paper is called origami. Some people call the art of making paper planes aerogami.
Since paper planes flow (流动) through the air, they can teach scientists and engineers a lot about basic concepts of flight, engineering and aerodynamics （空气动力学）In fact, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) （美国航天航空局）once sent a paper plane into space on a space shuttle!
If you are wondering how a paper plane would fly in outer space, you might be surprised by the answer. According to scientists, paper planes won't actually fly in outer space. Instead, paper planes would simply float in a
straight line and could possibly float forever unless they hit another object!
The Wright brothers also used paper planes to test out their theories about flight before making their first flight. They built a wind tunnel and used paper planes to gain a better understanding of how their plane would operate in the wind.
So just how far can a paper plane fly? On February 28, 2012, former college quarterback Joe Ayoob set the world record for the longest paper plane flight. He threw a paper plane the entire length of a warehouse, setting the record at 226 feet, 10 inches. That broke the old record by 19 feet, 6 inches!
36. The author thinks making paper planes__________.
A. is difficult activity for children
B. has its value to flight
C.shows that the Asians are clever
D. is one of the most important discoveries
37. Why did scientists send a paper plane into outer space?
A. To perform a special task.
B. To observe how it would fly.
C. To help astronauts.
D. To find some pleasure.
38. What might make you want to know about a paper plane in outer space?
A. It would fly as we expect.
B. It would not move at all.
C. It would hit another object.
D. It would float in an unusual way.
39. Which of the following is true?
A. Leonardo da Vinci created the first paper plane.
B. NASA once flew a paper plane in a space shuttle.
C. The Wright brothers used paper planes to test their flight theories.
