How to Be Good at Sports
If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. Here are some tips that can help you become a good player.
Set ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high. 1. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal.
Be patient. 2. Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you're not patient, you'll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you're ready. You'll feel discouraged when you don't see immediate improvement.
Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they're happening. 3.
Accept criticism. When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. 4. Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better.
5. A skill become mastered when you’re able to do it without thinking. Given enough time and practice, a skill will eventually fall under this category. When in a game, you won't have time to think everything through, so practice until it's all automatic.
A. Skills are often slow to build.
B. This does not mean being unrealistic.
C. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt.
D. Practice until your skills become second nature.
E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at.
F. If you're not in school, you can find a sports club online.
G. An important reason people join sports teams is to make friends.
Brigitte Barthelemy was walking along the seashore just north of France's Bordeaux wine region when she discovered a bottle lying among some seashells.Inside were two pieces of paper.One contained a hand-drawn picture of a seagull,while the other was a message showing how litter in the ocean is often deadly to the water birds.
The bottle is the brainchild of George Boorujy.From 2011-2013,the artist dropped over two dozen bottles into the ocean from a Staten Island beach in New York.Each contained an image of a water bird and a message similar to the one Brigitte found.Boorujy says he was inspired to take action after becoming aware of the effect the carelessly thrown plastic has on wildlife.
Researchers say that around 90% of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs.Many chicks（雏鸟）die because their mothers unintentionally feed them bits of plastic along with their food.Boorujy hopes his message will raise awareness about the danger that seabirds face.He also enjoys the opportunity to give away his art and create a unique experience for the finder.
Over the years,the artist has received calls from lots of people that have discovered his bottles.However,they were all found close to Staten Island,making Brigitte's discovery even more special.
No matter how the bottle reached France,its message has had a big influence on Brigitte.She not only plans to be more respectful of the environment but contacted（联系）the local bird association to see how they could help. While receiving a message in a bottle can certainly help inspire people,It should not be necessary to remind us how dangerous our careless habits are for the marine mammals（海洋哺乳动物）and seabirds.So remember to reuse, recycle and most importantly,reduce.

Even looking back on the revolutionary changes the Internet has brought to our lives,the future of it is still beyond imagination.But what is clear is making the best use of the Internet will be of ever-greater importance to promoting economic development and social progress.
Already Chinese companies that are seizing the opportunities presented by the Internet occupy a place in global industry.The rise of e-commerce（电子商务）is particularly noticeable in China,where it is common for the majority of young people to do shopping online,which not only saves them time,hut also saves them money.
For the vast rural areas,where the majority of poverty-stricken（穷困的）people live,the growing popularity of Internet technology will hopefully help lift people out of poverty.There have been reports about how some rural villagers sell their agricultural products online and some use the Internet to get in touch with their customers,which may make it easier for them to make decisions.Still they only account for 28.6 percent of the total 618 million internet users nationwide.So much can still be done to further popularize the use of the Internet and promote e-commerce in rural areas.
Looking further ahead,the development of the Internet can strengthen the connection among different economies.No one can tell how much potential there is to be unlocked by the effective use of Internet technology to promote the manufacturing industry（制造业）and the service industry.And with government,it is not just time and cost benefits that are the potential fruits of Internet technology,because the Internet will also help promote policy-making and public services.
