This Thursday,across the US,kids are skipping school and going to work with their parents. They’ll be making copies,sending faxes and sweeping floors. This is because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grovun-up in the working world.

But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city,I was very bored. I couldn^,t read my book in the car as I would get carsick and my dad didn^ like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldnt’ get into his taxi because they thought he already had had a passenger： me so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.

While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities for their futures,I got something completely different from the day.

When we watch the sports match,we often see it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match;football players exchange jerseysafter ninety minutes of knocking each other around;even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event,from spelling bees to golf,act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship ,a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match.

Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years,you might see some players celebrate a goalwith a long victory dance or talk about their ability. However,it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It's the golden rule of sports.

Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules,talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting,for example,it's more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition——as in life——you may not always win,but believe me , sportsmanship will help you get through,and there is always the next match.

It was an early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground.

They stood before El Captain,a rock almost 1. 2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed of climbing El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one,he fell while climbing mountain,losing his legs. But he never lost his love for life.

Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone,but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.

They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton into the rock. Fastening one end of a 50-meter rope to the piton,he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-6ar to the rope. Mark took a deep breath,pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach,and began the first pull-up. High above,Peter let out a cheer ,“You’re on your way. ”

For the first four days the two men progressed upward without accident. But on the fifth day,a very strong wind began to blow,making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.
