</SPAN> Word Count: 531</SPAN> Question:</SPAN> Some people believe that group sports such as football or hockey are too competitive and encourage the worst side of human behavior. They should be replaced by non-competitive exercise-based activities like jogging and swimming that also keep us fit. What do you think?</SPAN> </SPAN> Sports events are never filing to attract our eyes in the contemporary society. It is acceptable that sports events can bring people together, no matter their origin, background, religious beliefs or economic status. Yet, there always appear news reports of injuries and violence because of competitive sports. Competitive sports, like the World Cup (FIFA World Cup 2009 [online]), are also to blame for giving rise to cultural imperialism and tensions between nations.</SPAN> Some people are in favor of competitive sports for several reasons. To begin with, it is apparent that competitive sports could enhance keep understanding across many places of race, culture and gender. A suitable example is the 2004 Athens Olympic Games (International Olympic Committee 2009 [online]): South and North Korea participated together that they did the opening ceremony as one nation, and received the acclaim of the world's people; thus, this game became a great event for South-North communication. In addition, competitive awareness, team-work, and acceptance of failure are in this sense. It is important medium for the connections among different civilizations and values. Most importantly, sports have a key role to play in the endeavor to keep world peace and show patriotic emotions.</SPAN> </SPAN>However, we shall not lose sight of negative impacts caused by competitive sport. For one thing, international competitive sporting events always easily lead to casualties and violence. According to PRCNBS (People’s Republic of China National Bureau of Statistics) the number of casualties caused by competitive sporting violence and its incidents in China during whole 2008 (PRC National Bureau of Statistics 2008 [online]) is greater than the number of casualties caused by typhoon. For another thing, competitive sports events also lead to a conflict between nations of the world as well as characteristics of the conflict between the strong-sporting and poor-sporting countries.</SPAN> Today, competitive sports have developed globally and bring enjoyment and enrichment to the lives of billions of people. So, it is important that we seek ways by which competitive sports can contribute to the achievement of peace for the entire world’s people. I feel amazed that sport creates good relationship between the nations. Mostly all the sports at present are competitive. Players desire to win, and the game means nothing unless he (or her) has an aim of win. The ground in the countryside, then it may be purely for entertainment of exercise and games. If the match relates to honor, if you think you and your group would be shame when you lose, then the most human brutal nature of the struggle will inspire them. Ev 阅读全文>> |

太棒了，明天又是周末我又能看到我最喜欢的NBA赛场而且明天CCTV5有2场比赛分别是：9点半火箭VS马刺和12点05的篮网VS勇士。这二场是我最喜欢的二场因为火箭队有姚明，篮网队有易建联。虽然姚明本赛季不能打但还有阿联呢。幸运的是后天星期日也是篮网的比赛，二天能看到二场篮网的比赛太过瘾了。希望明天的比赛火箭和篮网能赢。虽然火箭没球星但他们的胜率已经超过5成我相信只要能团结一心有机会战胜强大的马刺。篮网遭遇到NBA历史上最差的开局纪录18连败，而且现在已经8连败连，但我相信只要明天他们能多些配合和打好四节好球必定会赢勇士，再说了今年是自由球员市场，网队一定会签下一名全明星级别的球员，当然签下詹姆斯韦德是不太现实但签下博什还有可能。 已经好几天没看球了我好郁闷，可惜今天的23VS24(科比VS詹姆斯）都没看。好了，今晚睡个好觉等着明天早上的NBA大餐 |
| 赌球，打假球，这是国家和人民不允许的，是违背体育精神的，是在伤害众多球迷心，很是令人气愤。这几天一直在看新闻，里面有很多关于中国足球的消息。其中有一条消息可以说是大快人心。两位足球界的高官被拘留了，进而被免职，非常之高兴，非常之激动，非常之振奋，中国足球有希望了。那些个害群之马早该把他们K了。为什么中国足球发展不起来，就是那些人，现在好了，体育总局出面了，打掉那些歪风邪气，正本清源，相信美好的明天。 |
