I used to be a thin little kid who was always the shortest and sickest in my class. I wasn't very athletically involved during my childhood.
When I entered middle school, a lot of my friends were signing up for the school's sports teams. On the first day of tryouts(选拔赛) for the soccer team, the coach told us to run laps for warm-up. As I struggled to keep up with the team, I found myself falling farther behind until I was the last one to finish.
I was disappointed, but at the same time, I knew I had to do something about my health and fitness. People thought I was crazy because I ran a slow 11-mintue mile in the gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and improve my mile time.
It was a lot of running for me, but I kept on practicing day after day. As the seasons progressed, I found that I could run longer and faster.
Eighth grade soon rolled around and I was feeling really confident about trying out for another sports meet. Instead of attempting soccer a second time, I decided to give field hockey a try. This time, I was well prepared. After a week of tryouts, I was ecstatic (狂喜的) to see that my name made it on the list.
I was inspired, and I learned an important lesson: Once you do get into shape, don't stop or give up!
A. Again, the coach instructed us to run a lot of laps.
B. After tryouts were over, my name never made it on the list.
C. I made a big decision to sign up for the track and field team.
D. Being in shape helped me feel energetic, flexible, and strong.
E. Fortunately, I wasn't the only slow runner trying to get into shape.
F. The first day of practice was one of the hardest workouts I've ever had.
G. One of my friends convinced me to try out for the soccer team with her and I agreed.

To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(礼节). There's nothing more frustrating(令人沮丧的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(传达)an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
