19.Popular Sports in China

Sports are flourishing in china now. More and more people are willing to take part in sports of different kinds， such as table-tennis， football， volleyball， and so on. Every year there are many matches played on the city， provincial or national level. Sports are no longer limited to a few professional players. Early in the morning people may be seen doing exercise. Martial arts （like Chinese boxing or swordplay） which formerly were cultivated for self-defense， now have become a form of physical exercise and are practiced in parks， streets， gardens， or on campuses. In addition young and old people are also often seen running in order to build up their bodies. China promotes sports to enhance the physical condition of its people; she is formulating policies to provide encouragement of this activity. She awards prizes to the excellent players for the best records both in china and the world. In the world the Chinese have become a strong people instead of “the weaklings of East Asia”。

20.Is Failure a Bad Thing？

Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may fail in exams， scientists may fail in their research work， and athletes may fail in competitions. Although failure happens to everyone， attitudes towards failure are various. Some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result， they will have the same failure a period later. Some people think themselves are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure. Consequently， they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought. Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost， they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. After hard work， they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing lesson from our failures. In my opinion， failure is not a bad thing， the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure.
