Peter's uncle lived in the country. Once Peter went to stay with him for a few weeks. When they went for a walk or for a drive in the car and they passed somebody ,his uncle waved. Peter was surprised and said, “Uncle George, you know everybody here. Where did you meet them all?”

“I don't know all these people,” said his uncle                

“Then why do you wave to them?” asked Peter.?                 

“Well, Peter,” answered his uncle, “when I wave to someone and he knows me, he is happy. He goes on his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to some one and he doesn't know me, he is surprised and says to himself, ‘Who is that man? Why did he wave to me?’ So he has something to think about during the rest of his journey, and that makes his journey seem shorter. So I make everyone happy.

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.
