8、 Oh right. Well you could play polo—both of you. That’s half horse riding, half golf! ...I’d love to have a go at riding, actually. I bet it’s good fun. Woman: Oh, it’s good fun Man: So, do you have your own horse? Woman: No, I’d love to have one, but um ... it’s expensive. Man: Yeah. I’m quite

11、 Lisa: You are a dream, aren’t you. You’ll forget your head one day. Paul: You couldn’t just run through the list with me and tell me what ... Lisa: ... OK, OK. But I haven’t got long. Paul: Thanks a lot. I write down number one as the “Candle”. Lisa: The “Candle”? Oh, that’s the shoulder-

12、stand ... where you start by lying on your back and then lift your legs up till all your weight’s resting on your shoulders, and your legs are straight up in the air. Paul: Shoulder-stand. Lisa: Yes, and you do it for a minute. The second one was the “Plough”, which you start by lying on your ba

13、ck and then ... Paul: Hold on a minute ... this is the “Plough” you’re talking about? Lisa: Number two on your list, and mine. Start on your back and then stretch your legs over till your toes touch the floor behind you. And that takes two minutes including the dynamic stage. Paul: Two ... min

14、utes ... including ... the ... dynamic ... stage. Right. And the “Fish”? Lisa: The “Fish” is the one where you start by lying on your back and then you arch your back and take the weight on the crown of your head. Paul: How long for? Lisa: She said one minute. Paul: And what are the “Plough”

19、our sides and then raise your legs. One minute, including the half-locust. Good for your Coke circulation ... I mean your blood circulation, and for your back, since you seem to spend most of the day sitting down in a chair. Paul: I get the impression that you don’t have a very high opinion of me.

Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an

31、 intense 90 minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 1_2 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What’s going on? It’s all part of sportsmanship, a g

Here are some examples of things you can do: ● Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, wor

Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve

37、practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game. ● Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official. Remember, too, that if you respond with violence you could get penalized, which c

Acknowledge and applaud good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them. ● When officials make a call, accept it gracefully even if it goes against you. Remem

Commentator: And Bradford serves from the left-hand court, quick passing shot from Davis who smashes that one down ... Th

43、ird Commentator: ... and with sixty seconds left in this final round, Robson is still very much on the attack. A left-hand jab to the shoulder has Leonard staggering back onto the ropes and Leonard is really in trouble now as Robson moves in with that lethal right hand of his, he’s really punishing

44、this 18-year-old Scot. And the referee’s moving forward pushing Robson away — he’s having a word with him, I think he may be going to warn him, no he’s not, he’s having a word with Leonard now. Leonard is shaking his head and looking terribly tired ... and the referee ... he’s stopped the fight ...

And now there’s a lineout on the far side, 20 yards from the Richmond goal line ... Seventh Commentator: ... not a good start for the British girl but she’s

50、 managing to make it up and the Russian girl is now only about five strokes ahead. And at the turn, Debbie is closing the gap, the Russian girl is visibly tiring, this is where stamina really counts and at 24 Ludmilla may well be less fit than 15-year-old Debbie Woods.
