Dear Sigmund Friend

My name is Simon and I am a Grade 9 student. I am crazy 　31　 football! I love 　32 　football, reading about football, and of course, playing football. My dream 　33 a great football player. However, my love of football has become a big problem, and I would like your 　34　 .

I have 　35 friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I 　36　 trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry　　 37　 . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our hobbies. They can help us relax and make our lives 　 38　 .I wish I could have my parents’ 　39　 .

Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know　 40　 . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.

Best wishes

Simon

IMAGINE a life without arms or legs! You can’t hold anyone in your 　26 . You can’t walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you 　27 at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian?

Nick was born without limbs（四肢）, so life was not 　28 for him. At school many students played jokes on him 　29 he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be 　30 friends, so he always felt 　31 . However, he faced that bravely. He 　32 to type and write with two toes（脚趾）at the age of six, and he could 　33 surf and play golf. In college, he achieved great success and was among the 　34 students in the studies. And he decided on 　35 to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.

Now Nick is one of the most popular 　36 in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story 　37 difficulties. “Living life fully is about looking at what you 　38 , not what you don’t have.” he said. His 　39 encourages millions of people.

“I tell people to keep on getting up when they 　40 and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done.”

Everyone in our school loves sports. Every morning 　26 we get up, we do morning exercises. After the second class we do exercises again. We only have 　27 classes twice a week, but we do physical training（锻炼）at five every afternoon. The most popular sport is basketball. The 　28 enjoy playing it and many of the girls like it, too. 　29 popular sport is football and in every class there 　30 a lot of football fans. 　31 volleyball is played when the weather is fine. We have school teams in basketball, football and volleyball. Our teams often 　32 friendship（友谊）matches with the teams from other schools. When there is a match, 　33 of us go to watch it and cheer our side on.

Beside（除……之外）ball games, some of us like track-and-field events（田径项目）, 　34 we often practice running, jumping and throwing. Every term we have tests in these events and once a year we hold a sports meeting.

Sports help us to keep 　35 .

Today, it is a big problem for young graduates to get satisfying jobs. 　 21 　 that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. Choosing the right one itself is not easy.

“Finding a job” is not 　 22　 as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job because they are not 　 23 for it. Sometimes “Chance” may 24　 a more important part than “decision”.

Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs 　25 you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important 　26　 what kind of person you are, which special qualities 　 27　 you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a difference 　28 an interest and a skill. If you like 　29　 and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can 　30 　 a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a 　 31　 .

Then ask yourself a question,” In the following three areas--skills with people, skills with information and skills with things, which are your 　 32 　 skills?”

After 　33　 your skills, the next step is research. To 　 34　 as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends 　　35　 the work they do.

Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing.
