People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative influence on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-pride or aggressive (攻击性的) behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been shouted at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may shout at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and find out the causes behind them. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.

Man has invented four kinds of satellites(人造卫星).
The first kind of satellites studies the geography of the earth. They are used to make maps. They also help countries to see where they may find oil or gold. |
The second kind of satellites is used to guide ships and planes. A ship or a plane can send a message to the satellite, and the satellite can find out where the ship or the plane is. |
The third kind studies the weather. These satellites watch clouds and strong winds moving across the earth. They warn countries to make preparations when very bad weather is coming. |
The last kind is used for communications(通信). Telephone calls between countries can be sent. by these satellites. Some can carry hundreds of calls at the same time. The call is sent to the satellite, then the satellite' sends it to a station in the country and this country is being phoned. These satellites also carry pictures; they can receive and send about eight programmes at a time. |
