I held back my anger. I understood what the coach meant well.  17  making sure David could still run if he wanted, I found he was slowly coming towards me, while his small body was  18  from side to side.

David had a brain illness, so he  19  to walk or run like other children. However, at school his classmates thought of him as a  20  kid. He always took part in every activity they were doing.

As the gun fired, David set off at his usual pace. People watched him with  25  . Many voices rose, "David, you're so great!" Through my wet eyes, I knew David's strong will would beat everything. Finally, David crossed the finishing line to wild cheers.

Welcome to Games Club!Hello, everyone, there is a piece of good news for all of you. A new club is going to be started in our school. It’s Games Club that helps you to have an active and fun way to make your after-class time colorful. Join the Games Club and have fun playing games with your classmates. Games you can play here: ●Old games that you loved when you were younger; ●New games that you are excited to try; ●Games from all over the world!

Next week—Go (围棋) gameNext week, we’ll take a look at one of the oldest board games—Go. It’s over 5,000 years old. Game Rules: ●It’s for two players. ●You start with an empty board. One person has black stones, and the other has white stones. You take turns in putting a stone on the board. ●The purpose of the game is to put stones around empty spaces to make “territories (领域)” or to put stones around the other player’s stones to “capture (攻占)” them. ●The rules are simple, but the game can be very difficult. It can change very quickly, and surprising things can happen. If you want to join us, please call us at 400-329-4330, or you can email us at GamesClub@Yucaischool.com, or you can visit the club office in Room 103 in Building 4#.

①Have you read Harry Potter? Fans of the Harry Potter books will know Quidditch, the magical sport where players fly around on broomsticks (扫帚柄). But do you know that the game is in the real world, too?

②It’s called quadball, and it first began back in 2005, when American college students decided to create their own, real-life version (版本) of Quidditch. More and more people started playing the game, with countries all over the world making their own teams.

③The rule of quadball is very similar to that of Quidditch. Although players don’t fly in the sky on broomsticks like in the books, they must play with a “broomstick”—usually a wooden pole (木杆)—between their legs at all times.
