21、ummer，you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot. Our bodies cant be outside in the sun for a long time. So in hot summers，be careful about playing sports outside.Firstly，to play sports safely in hot weather，you must drink water. Sports drinks are great for at
22、hletes，but they have so much sugar that theyll dehydrate(使脱水)you more. However，drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you.Secondly，be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest. If your coach doesnt let you take enough breaks in the heat，dont wait until you feel uncomfortable
23、. Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks.Thirdly，when you have a break，dont sit in the sun. With the sun beating down on you，youll only heat up and sweat(冒汗)more. Take a seat under a tree，or even better，go indoors for a little while. Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer
24、.Fourthly， remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise，the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up，you have a few good hours to practise in the cool hours of the morning. Also，the earlier you practise，the earlier you can finish the exercise. If you need
25、more practice time，come back to the field later in the evening，when the sun is setting.Last but not least，you should watch what you eat.

29、ging the way people think and act.Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say thatglobalization helps big companies like
30、 Coca-Cola and McDonalds destory(破坏) local businesses. However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesnt destory local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is
31、because countries with economic(经济的)connections will try hard to keep good relationahips so that their economies arent destroyed.Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures.Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would
32、. For some workers，such as engincers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully compete(竞争)globally and have seen an incrase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the aervice industry(at hotels，shops and restaurants),it has
33、 not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it.Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles，Inaian curry and Frenc
34、h cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters(汉字)in tattoos(文身).

45、ped me and said,“Alice，the rabbits are thirsty. Let them eat as much as they want.
