Knowledge is power.But there is one other thing that we must remember.A strong mind needs a strong body in order to(目的)make it most useful.
There are a great many good exercises.They are helpful and healthful.Many of them may be taken indoors during rainy weather.Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those token out of doors in pure(纯的), fresh(新鲜的)air.It is because in fresh air more oxygen(氧气)is taken into our systems and more wastes are given off.The air in the house doesn't remain(保持)fresh very long.But of doors it is usually fresh and pure.
But what shall we play?There are a number of games such as football, basketball, race…Any game with a lot of movement(运动)is good.The best ones are played out of doors.
Do not neglect(忽视)your body.It is as much important as your mind.Our country now needs men with strong minds, good judgement(判断力), and strong bodies.
