W:Oh,that's cool.Do you like playing soccer?
M:Yeah.And I like tennis.too.
W:Tennis is fun.But my favorite sport is baseball.
M:Oh,really?I've never played baseball.
W:It's great fun!If you want to learn,I can teach you this
afternoon.
M:That would be great.

my friends will be there,too.

prize in the competition next month.

W:Well,we only have a restaurant at the moment,but
we're building a new club area with a small swimming
pool next year.
M:Do members have to wear special clothes at the club?
W:We're not like some clubs where you have to wear golf
pants or club sweaters.But our club members have to
play in proper golf shoes here.
M:Right.What about lessons for children?
W:Our teachers are excellent,but they don't give group
lessons.A one-hour lesson costs 80,but that's usual-

I joined a club called "passing help"last month.Now
let me tell you why I joined it.One evening this May,on
my way home my old car was broken.There was no car a-
round,and it was hard to take a taxi.So I went to the bus
stop nearby.After a while,a bus came,but it didn't go to
my town.I waited there for about thirty minutes,but no
bus came.At last a car came to me and a woman came out
of the car.She was just the bus driver.She gave mea lift
home.On the way she told me a story.A few days ago,her
car was out of gas.An old man drove her up to a gas station
and then back to her car.When we got to my home,I wan-
ted to give her some money to thank her,but She didn't ac-
cept it."I only want to help others and do something nice
for somebody.Pass it along."She said.

M:A group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the
world basketball marathon record.They wanted to play
for 90 hours and add 6 hours to the record.Each team
had 9 players,with 5 at a time.The boys decided each
person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours.
Then they started at 6 o'clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players.When it
was their turn to rest,they were too excited to fall asleep
at once.After sleeping for a short time,they had to play
again.On the second night,they fell asleep as soon as
they stopped.Some of them had trouble with their feet
and hands,but the only serious problem was the mental
one.Each boy was thinking:Why am I doing this?How
can I play any longer?After the third night,the players
knew they could finish the 90 hours.The basketball on
the fourth night was very slow.But in the final hours,
the players got better.For the last few minutes,the
players looked as fresh as when they started.
