Sports can help yokeep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether yoare on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, yoshould be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as yomay know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that yocould take up today. Yodon't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and yodon't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep yofit. If yowalk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make yofeel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport yotake up, yocan make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms".

Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.

Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967 after graduation, Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.

Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 1971 she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.

Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.

Cole continued to write both nonfiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.

A. was very popular with children B. got inspired by one of her teachers

C. began her career of writing novels D. knew what she would do in the future
