When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad.That was because a professor 1 me to do so.She said, “Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 2 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun! ” I 3 her.
Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet.By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen.And I have really made business 6 , too.With the help of the Internet, I have also got 7 about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 8 necessary when I happened to read a famous cook's comment on the Internet.He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around us at the same.So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10 ? ” Those words reminded me of my 11 advice.As information technology 12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips.But this also means that you will miss the various 13 you can get from traveling.
Today there are people who 14 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet.It is not surprising to see a group of people 15 not with each other but into their microphones.It seems as if such people are 16 by an invisible wall.They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 17 and talk with other people.I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology.We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 18 more fruitful.However, we should never let it 19 our time for face-to-face communication.Let's make use of information technology more 20 , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football.I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members.I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it.This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech.They said their son really wanted to play football.They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team.
When they told me his name, my heart sank.Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds.He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports.I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player.But we told them we could give it a try.
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track.I 13 my eye on Michael.At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet.“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on. 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up.
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically.By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him.
