Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶) . The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹) . F{#blank#}1{#/blank#}sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly！The struggle develops the e{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.

When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and ready to face life.

When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle.

One famous businessman, who now o{#blank#}5{#/blank#}many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. He had to b{#blank#}6{#/blank#}up a big family. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} lives.

Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So, some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock—climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of t{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. For countries to continue to become successful, it is i{#blank#}10{#/blank#}that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

Sports in ancient China

People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   (invent) many games. Some of them had a long history.

 Chuiwan 捶丸

Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. "Chui" means "hit"{#blank#}2{#/blank#} "wan" means "ball" . This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. They used a stick{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hit) the ball into holes. Only when three hits into the hole were achieved did the player win the point{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (successful).

 Cuju 蹴鞠

First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (early) form

of football. The ball was made  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  leather (毛皮) on the outside and filled

with rice bran (米糠) inside.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (it) rules were similar to football's. Each

team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (foot)

and heads could be used. The ball should be hit into the opposite goal.

Archery 射箭

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, archery was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}important part of education for a gentleman. At the age of 15, they began learning shooting. The most famous competition was Grand Archery. It{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(hold) by the emperor. The competitors bowed before shooting and drank together after.

People may have many different kinds of hobbies during their lifetime. When we are very young, we spend most of our time playing with toy trucks. We may enjoy playing a sandbox or building with wooden blocks(木块). When we get older, we start our first real hobbies. Some kids go out for a sport like football or skating. These new interests can be quite time-consuming and most children spend a lot of time on them. Some children might get interested in less active activities like reading, painting, or stamp collecting. Others might enjoy playing an instrument like the piano or the flute(笛子).

As we get older, our hobbies might change or go on. Some people might spend their whole lives on stamp collecting. Other people might change their interests every year depending on fashions. Some people are lucky that they have found jobs that are similar to their hobbies, like a person who loves teaching and becomes a teacher.

①In today's busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling "time poor". Time poverty (贫穷) can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person 's time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline (截止日期). Besides, we often say "yes" to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying "yes" to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate. 

②People who don's t have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental (心理的) health. Moreover, less quality (优质的) time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor?

③Manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don't realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work. 

④Make quality time a true value in your life. It's important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work. 

⑤ We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it.
