When Alan was young, he played football very often and he was good at it. Then he worked in a town. There was no team for him there, so he stopped playing football.
He began to get fat. So he thought, “I’ve stopped playing and I’m getting fat. What should I do?” He thought about it for some days, and then he said to himself, “I know I should play table tennis.”
He met a nice girl at the tennis club one day and they played a game of tennis against (对抗) another young man and woman. Alan played very badly and was angry with himself. “I’ve never played as badly as this time.” he said to the girl. “Oh,” she said in surprise, “You have played before, haven’t you?”
