A week ago, Columbus Middle School asked the parents of their school to choose a sport for their child to play. Here’s some information about the sports.
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. So students should sign up (报名) as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. Each student will have to pay $ 10 each time for the cost of the bus. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will use St. Peter’s Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 p.m. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent from being thirsty. All the activities here are free. And there will be a teacher on duty for each activity.
Sports 3: Hiking
Hiking (远足)will be at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 p.m. and finish 90 minutes later. There will be 15 students in each group. And three teachers will be with the students. This sport will cost $ 75 per hour. Students should take plenty of water and sunglasses.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Swimming Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and watch the students from the poolside. We will only be able to use the pool for one hour (2: 45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards on watch. Girls must wear swimming suits. The cost is $ 15 per visit.

A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had  1  to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   2  it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业),he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   3  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   4  he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.  5 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his  6  to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then   7  out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very   8  in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 9  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him  10  that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a  11 telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   12  of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible,   13  as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to   14  the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the 15   of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.
