阅读表达(四)　赛场对决+传统节日

A
　　The sports meeting held in our school included basketball and soccer matches. Our class took part in the women's basketball competition and beat Class 5, 25 to 3.
　　When we heard that we would fight against Class 5, we were shocked, because the girls in Class 5 are much more athletic than us and better at basketball. It made us want to give up. But then a confident voice, our team captain said, “No matter what happens, we will win the match” and “Just make every effort and you will be the best!”
　　These words woke me up, and my attitude immediately changed. We started to practice more during P. E. class and even at lunchtime. To build up physical strength for the 10-minute match, we practiced running every night after school. Falling down became an ordinary thing that happened every day, but no one on our team complained(抱怨). We all believed that our efforts would pay off.
　　Our match was held on March 28. During the match, I tried my best to run and get the basketball. The 10-minute match seemed to last a century. I couldn't even find the direction of the game, even after 5 minutes. Running was the only thing I could do.
　　But seeing that my classmates were cheering for us and that my teammates were fighting, I speeded up. I fell down twice trying to get the ball. But instead of taking a break, I got up quickly and refocused on the game. In the end our class got 25 points.
　　But it isn't winning that matters most; it is understanding the meaning of team spirit. By taking part in the match, I learned the lesson that no matter what situation we are in, we should believe in ourselves.

　　There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father's Day. Mums have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!
　　The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
　　There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
　　Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
　　In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They'd rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts(打折) in stores and restaurants.
　　But Western seniors don't often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents' home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
