These days, more and more people begin to pay more attention to their health. They want to take up different kinds of sports to keep healthy. What sports should they do then?

    Tennis

    Thomas opened up a tennis room recently. To his surprise, there were much more people than he expected(预想) coming on the first day. Because no more room was available(可利用的), he had to rent(租借) another bigger room from his neighbour, but it still couldn't meet the need. "I am pleased to see so many people like playing tennis. It is a very good sport for health," said Thomas.

    Football

    Donna works in a bookstore. She often goes to play football in the middle school near the bookstore. "Although the students are having their summer holidays, to my surprise, the playground is crowded with people," said Donna.   

    Of course, there are some other sports that people can do to keep healthy. But it's certain(确定的) that people who often exercise can work better.

    When my wife and I went to live in an Arab country, my friends told us to be prepared for a culture shock. Later, we realized that the advice given to us by our friends was correct.

    The culture shock started with the weather. Here, the burning sun can cook an egg in a minute! The hot weather made us feel so tired that we were falling asleep at mid-day!

    Another culture shock was the working week. We worked from Saturdays to Wednesdays, including Sundays. It was also strange to see people praying in a certain direction! They have strict rules for women. They do not let people see their faces in public. They do not let women drive cars, either. All dresses worn by women have to cover the body completely. They believe that women cannot be seen in public.

    At the weekends, we went camping in the desert. I will never forget watching the sun setting over the desert. We also enjoyed riding on the camels. In the end, we enjoyed living there, but their culture is very different from the American culture.

    Neel Sethi starred in Disney's cartoon The Jungle Book. The cartoon started being shown in theaters on April 15th. In this cartoon, Neel Sethi plays Mowgli, a boy growing up in the jungle with some wild wolves. When a big tiger named Shere Khan tries to kill him, Mowgli has to leave his wolf family. Along the way, Mowgli meets many animals. Some of them put him in danger, and others help him out of danger. Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong'o and Scarlett Johansson give their voices for the animals in the cartoon.

    In fact, Neel finished most of his parts in front of a blue screen. Later on, people put his parts with the animals and jungle pictures together. In the movie, Mowgli enjoys living with the bear, Baloo, very much. Mowgli stays on the top of Baloo as they play in a river and sing The Bare Necessities.

    "To do well in the movie, I ran and jumped around in my own time," Neel said. "So it really wasn't that hard to be Mowgli."
