根据以下信息，完成表格。

Basketball players are usually very tall. Because they need to put the ball into the basket. Other sports players may be shorter than them.

Short people often have better balance (平衡) than tall people, so they don't fall over very often. In some sports the players must have good balance, for example, table tennis, they don't need to have long legs to run fast! Some of the fast runners in the world are not very tall. Some people are tall and some are short. The tallest man in the world is 2.41 meters tall. Today young people in many countries grow taller than their parents. This is because they eat better than their parents. Good food can help children grow.

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Are all sports players tall?
Is it better to be short than to be tall?
Do fast runners all have long legs?
How tall is the tallest man in the world?
Why do young people grow taller than their parents?

Subject: Hello!

———————————————————————————————————————-

Hi, Liam!

So you're my new pen friend. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm 14 years old and I live in Calgary, CanadaI have two older brothers, Brian and Sam. I'm the only girl.

I love sports and I'm always looking for exciting new hobbies to try. I like playing baseball in winter.

It's fun beating the boys! But summer is my favourite time of the year. I love skateboarding and rock climbing in summer.

Skateboarding's great because it's so fun and easy to learn! I often skateboard after school. There are many placesin the park where I can do stunts. I'm good at stunts like jumping and turning the skateboard!

Rock climbing is also really fun. I usually climb with my dad on weekends. We can't do it on real mountains very often because we live in the city. We do indoor rock climbing instead but it's not as challenging.

So that's me! How about you? Please write back soon!

Bye for now!

There are nearly 400 different types of sharks, but only about 30 types have even been reported as attacking human beings.
The chances of being attacked by a shark are very small compared to other dangers. Many more people drown（溺死）in the ocean every year than are bitten by sharks. The low number of attacks that happen every year proves that sharks do not feed on humans if they have the choice. There are three types of shark attacks. The main one is known as a ‘hit and run'. The shark attacks because it thinks you are a fish, but when it tastes a human it decides not to eat you. The second type is called a ‘bump and bite'. The shark bumps you to find out if you are fit to be eaten and then bites you if it thinks you are. The third type is called a ‘sneak'. When attacking in this way, the shark waits for you to swim by and attacks you suddenly. The latter（后者的）two types of attack are more likely to be deadly for humans.
However, your chances of being attacked by a shark can be reduced if you follow the advice below.
Do not swim in the dark. Sharks can still see you but you cannot see them.
Do not swim if you are cut or if you have a fresh wound. Sharks can smell blood over a long distance.
Do not wear bright clothing or jewellery because sharks are attracted to colours and shiny objects.
Try and stay in groups, as sharks usually avoid large numbers of people.
Don't be frightened（受惊吓）by sharks as there is 30 times greater chance of being hit by lightning than being attacked by a shark.

    Put a group of strangers in a room together, and they'll probably start a conversation. "Hot today, isn't it?" one might say. "You said it." another replies.
   Why do we talk so much about the weather? When we meet new people, we don't begin by telling them our life story. We start with small talk, a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather.
   Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships. When we begin conversations with new people, we want to feel comfortable, and so do they. We use small talk to find common interests. Once we have a common interest, a friendship can begin.
   Small talk even helps people get hired. In order to impress at a job interview, you need to bond with the interviewer right away. Proper small talk can make that first impression get you the job.
    So, how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job? First off, find common ground. Choose something around you that you share with the other person.
   Next, keep the conversation going. Praise the other person to make him or her feel comfortable, and ask questions to show interest.
  Third, keep eye contact. When you look people in the eye, they feel you take interest in what they are saying. It makes you appear honest and builds trust.
  Naturally, talking to someone you don't know is not the easiest thing to do! Some experts say with more practice, small talk does get easier.
   In fact, small talk is anything but small. It is a very big deal!
