Nowadays more and more people begin to take up exercising. Not only doing sports can keep you in good health, but sports can make your life longer, according to a new study.

The study found that adults (成人) who often play tennis or other team sports can live longer than those who often sit. They also live longer than those who take part in solitary sports, which means one can do it himself, like swimming and riding.

As a result, it’s true that the sports can improve our health and make our life longer. However, people can’t make it clear if all the sports are useful.

A study of more than 80,000 British men and women in 2017 showed that those who played ball games would live longer than those who jogged (慢跑). Some scientists are interested in it. They decided to study the relation between the long life and the jog. They found the jog is better for the life than other sports. In their study, riding bicycles is the most popular activity. Many of them ride for four or more hours every week.

Finally, they found people who often ride can live 3.7 years longer than those who sit too much. Runners usually live 3.2 years longer. The tennis players usually live 9.7 years longer. The people who play badminton live 6.2 years longer and the soccer players live 5 years longer.

On weekends, I took my son Alan from school and went to the supermarket for some food. After a whole day’s work, I was so tired that I was hoping to finish shopping ________.

I ________ him repeatedly (重复地) say to her, “Yes, madam.” When he asked if she had enough money to buy a bag, she told him she did. Then he went two lines over to get ________ for her. When he served, this clerk never got angry with the old woman. Instead (相反), he was so patient (耐心的) and kind.

As I was watching him, I saw Alan was too. I realized that my son was learning an important ________ from a complete stranger.

________ the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up (把……的费用相加) my things and thanked me ________ my patience (耐心). I thanked him too.

After I passed him, I found that I was ________ focused (专注) on competing (比赛) that I missed my turning. I had to turn around and ________ the rest of my ride.

Does that happen in our life when we focus on competing with others? We always like to show we are more successful in our work or study. However, we spend our time ________ after them and miss our own roads or dreams. We must make sure we can remember our dreams and make them come true.
