What is the best {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to get knowledge? If we {#blank#}8{#/blank#} by ourselves, we'll get the most knowledge. If we're {#blank#}9{#/blank#} getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in a right way, we will learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and understand (理解) better.

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

One day,the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted. In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.

"Why are people not cheering for me like before?" he asked his grandfather.

"Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time," the grandfather replied.

The boy was surprised but agreed to the race. During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.

The boy asked his grandfather, "For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?" The grandfather smiled and said. "The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together. Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race."

Do you like sports? Do you play basketball or baseball in your P. E. class or after school?

My sister and I like sports very much. We are in our school tennis club （俱乐部）. We play tennis in the morning. It's very interesting. First, we do some exercises （练习）. Then, the teacher teaches us to play tennis. We watch him carefully. Later, we play in pairs. Some boys can play very well, but we can't. They often come to help us. Our teacher is glad to see this. He says our school has many clubs. 

Sports are really fun, and they are good for us.
