Basketball, running and swimming are popular events at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug-of-war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals. | |
Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing at the Olympics. | |
Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they don't run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter 20-kilometer and 50-kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers. |
Giant Pandas Where they live: Mainly in Sichuan, also in Shanxi and Gansu. Why they are in danger: They don't have enough food. They don't give birth to many babies. Fun facts: A new baby panda is as small as a mouse. Pandas spend almost the whole day eating. But they only take in 20% of what they eat. Pandas poop(排便)over 12 times a day. Pandas have been on the earth for about 3 million years. Siberian Tigers(东北虎)Where they live: Northeastern China and Russia. Why they are in danger: People hunt them and destory their habitat(栖息地). Baby tigers are weak and often die early. Fun facts: A father tiger always leaves his family without saying goodbye. Then the mother tiger takes care of the babies. She is very careful. She hides her babies when she goes out hunting, and takes a different way home. |
With the development of our society(社会), many families become rich. This development brings us many benefits. For example, we do not have to worry about basic life like food, water and clothing any longer. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} While life becomes more comfortable, many children become" giant babies(巨婴) ", depending on their parents for everything.
Yesterday, I read a report that said many students in a middle school in Hongzhou didn't know how to tie their shoes. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Tying shoes is a basic life skill. Why couldn't these teenagers do such a simple thing?
I think there are two main reasons. First, parents must shoulder the blame(指责). In my opinion, parents should leave their children to do some basic things— such as tying shoes, washing clothes and heating meals. How can children learn these basic life skills if their parents do everything for them? Second, school are to blame. These days, school are paying too much attention to students' marks.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
But, above all, children themselves must realize that it is terrible to become" giant babies".{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
It is time for us to take action to stop more children from becoming " giant babies".
A. I felt surprised. B. What on earth should teach students? C. However, just as the old saying goes," Every coin has two sides." D. If they don't want to learn basic life skills, who else can help them? E Many of them ignore(忽视) the importance of students' all- round development. |
According to the text, what should parents do to stop their children becoming" giant babies"? (10词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
