      One morning, I was jogging and I noticed a person in front of me about 1/4 mile. I could 1 that he was running a little slower than me and I thought, “Very well, I shall try to 2him.” I had about a mile to go3 I needed to turn off, so I started running faster and faster. Every block, I was4getting closer to him just a little bit. Just a few minutes later, I was only about 100 yards from him, so I really sped up,5I was running the last lap of London Olympic competition. I was 6to keep up with him. Finally, I did 7 it! I caught and passed him. I really felt good, “I 8him.” Of course, he didn't ever know we were 9

      After passing him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had 10my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past it. I had to turn around and go back. Isn't it what happens in our 11 when we focus on competing with classmates, co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo ( 胜过) them or trying to 12 that we are more important or more 13?

      In reality, we spend our time and14 running after other people and we miss out on our own15 to our given destinies ( 命运). The 16 with unhealthy competition is that it's a never ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with 17grades or a more satisfying job, more education, a nicer car, more money in the bank, etc. But be 18that we can be the best that we can be. We are competing with no one. Take what we have been19 the height, weight and personality. Dress well and 20 it proudly. We should feel lucky with them and stay focused and live a healthy life.

As summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that taking the risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.

Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instil (逐渐灌输 )a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe (敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.

Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.

Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.

When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.

One teacher had two students. One of them had a positive vision while the other had the 1 one.

One day, the teacher 2 for a park with both the students and while wandering in the garden, they 3 a mango tree from which some ripe and juicy mangoes were 4 . On seeing this, the teacher thought to 5 both of his students. Then, he asked the first one, "My dear child, what do you think of this mango tree?"

The student answered instantly, "Teacher, in spite of people 6 this tree with stones, it gives us sweet and juicy mangoes. It does 7 but still it gives us fruits. I wish all human beings learn this important 8 from the mango tree-to share their 9 even if they have to suffer for this."

After that, the teacher asked the other student the same question. The student 10 answered, "Teacher, this mango tree is no good and will not give mangoes by itself but only when we hit it with stones and 11 . Therefore, we should hit it hard to get sweet mangoes from it. That is the only way to 12 these mangoes. It is also clear from this tree that in order to get good 13 from others, we need to be violent and only when we become violent, then and only then will we get 14 ."

The teacher was delighted with the answer given by the first student because he had an admirable vision and 15 the tree with positive vision.

At the age of 12, I started playing golf when my parents enrolled me in a junior camp at the local public course. From that moment, much of my life has been 1 the game. The aspect of golf that attracted me was the sense of 2 . There's always a chance of making something 3 happen, maybe breaking a personal record or potentially making a hole-in-one. 

When I decided to pursue journalism in college, I had to take a 4 from the game. I'd still go out 5 to play with friends, but for the first time since my teens, I was away from my community. 

My 6 for playing golf reawakened when a friend invited me to the Langston course, which 7 me of the courses where I grew up: a 8 spot for people of all working-class backgrounds, and a far cry from the private golf 9 , in which expensive memberships are a basic 10 . When I get paired up with strangers to play, it's usually more of a 11 crowd. 

Some of the best walks I've taken have been out on the golf course. It's where I 12 with old friends and meet new ones, who 13 me to practice and get better. We share experiences on the golf course that are 14 and laugh about for days after our rounds. 

The sense of community I've regained with golf goes beyond my imagination. My circle only seems to be 15 , and I'm eager to see what the future holds.

The excitement that soccer awakens in a person is a universal feeling. That is why no one should feel left out of the1 , particularly at a2 match in a stadium (体育场), where there may not be a sports commentator (解说员) to3 the event. This can result in individuals with visual impairments (视觉障碍) not being included.

A4 man named Mike Kearney knows this all too well, but he luckily has a great friend. A5 video recorded Kearney's cousin Stephen Garcia describing a whole soccer match to him at the stadium—and both6 together after their team scored.

Kearney and Garcia are both Liverpool FC season ticket holders. "It's just our routine; it's what we do," Garcia said in an interview. "I7 him every goal kick, every corner, every throw-in. And obviously he knows when we score8 he gets a big hug, a big celebration." The man further9 that Kearney was told who10 the goal and how the play went, in addition to hearing the11 if the other team scored.

Moved by their love for the team, Liverpool FC12 the pair for the final game of the season. The team then documented their13 at the stadium, recording not only Garcia describing the action to Kearney, but also their heartwarming celebration of Liverpool FC's14 .

Later, Salah, one of the team's stars, gifted them team jerseys (运动套衫), signing Kearney's with, "To Mike, your 15 is an inspiration."

Many years ago, I worked in a marathon(马拉松). I was required to stand by the road to give out water to the runners. I felt so excited to see all different kinds of runners who passed by and 1 took a cup of water. Some walked past, some jogged past and a few rushed past.

The next year, I signed up for the 2 and gave it a try. With 3 running practice, I just wanted to finish.

On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. Only after 2 miles, I felt sweat 4 off me and my legs swelling (肿胀). I began to5 , "Why am I doing this? What was I thinking? I must be 6 ." And at one moment, I said to myself: "I am never doing this again." For the following miles, I jogged. I walked. I jogged and walked. At times, I wonder if I could 7 .

Near the end, a 70-year-old man rushed past me, very fast, and I felt a little 8 that I was more than 50 years younger than him and I couldn't keep up with him. But then I 9 something: he was running his race and I was running mine. He had abilities, training and 10 for himself and I had mine. How often in life do we 11 ourselves with others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn't?

We are all unique human beings with unique 12 . It's really no good focusing on others' race. I decided that I would not 13 running, and that one day I would be one of those elderly people who were still running races. As I crossed the finishing line, I was 14 of myself.

In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves with others. It's natural but don't allow these moments to weaken you. Turn them into 15 and let them inspire you.

Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.

Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert, and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.

As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful "language".

My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority.Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.

Spending so much time in high and st ony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.
