San Russell is not your average
baseball fan. He is a die-hard Boston Red Sox
fan. He has a season ticket and he arranges his work schedule so he
does not miss a game. San
also attends game dressed in their uniform, and his car is red. He
has even lost some friends by
choosing to watch the Red Sox instead of going to their weddings.
Is this healthy behavior?
Russell* a case is extreme, being a sports fan can be healthy for
you. According to
a study at the University of Kansas in the USA, sports fans suffer
from depression less than people
who are not interested in sports. Sports fans also experience other
effects from watching their team
play. When their team wins a game, their own confidence and
happiness increase, just like the
athletes. Losing, on the other hand, always leads to some sense of
disappointment.
What about die-hard fans whose
team always loses? The team spirit keeps those fans from
losing hope. Knowing that other fans are probably feeling the same
way also helps them. In
addition, there is always the hope that their team will win the
next game. Russell has lost some
because of his love for baseball and although you may think that
would make him unhappy,he has made many more new friends because of
his team spirit.
For Sam Russell, supporting the
Red Sox it is a way of life and the
happiness.

There was a time when Whitney
didn't have a lot of friends. She was a bit shy and didn't
talk much. She never really wanted to be popular, but she did want
to have someone to share
secrets and laughs with. All through high school, though, she
didn't find a lot of friendship.
came time to go to college, Whitney was quite nervous. She was
going to room with
someone she didn't know and live in a town 300 miles away from
home. There wouldn' t be a
single person she knew in town. She had no idea how she was going
to make friends in this new
environment.
The first week of classes,
something happened and it changed Whitney's life forever. In
English Composition class, every student was asked to share a
little about herself. Whitney told
everyone where she called home and all of the other things that
students share in such situations.
The final question for each student was always the same: M What is
your goal ( 目标) for this
class?" Now, most of the students said it was to get a good grade,
pass the exam or something like
that, but for some reason, Whitney said something very different.
She said that her goal was to
make just one good friend.
While most of the students sat
in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out her
introduced herself. Hie girl asked if she would be her friend. The
whole room was silent
all eyes looked at Whitney and the hand extended just in
front of her. She smiled and reached
her hand out to take the girl1 s and a friendship was formed. It
was a friendship that lasted all
through college and many years after that. It was a friendship that
brought two people together.
Whitney learned the power of asking for what she wanted, being
honest and taking action.

San Russell is not your average
baseball fan. He is a die-hard Boston Red Sox
fan. He has a season ticket and he arranges his work schedule so he
does not miss a game. San
also attends game dressed in their uniform, and his car is red. He
has even lost some friends by
choosing to watch the Red Sox instead of going to their weddings.
Is this healthy behavior?
Russell* a case is extreme, being a sports fan can be healthy for
you. According to
a study at the University of Kansas in the USA, sports fans suffer
from depression less than people
who are not interested in sports. Sports fans also experience other
effects from watching their team
play. When their team wins a game, their own confidence and
happiness increase, just like the
athletes. Losing, on the other hand, always leads to some sense of
disappointment.
What about die-hard fans whose
team always loses? The team spirit keeps those fans from
losing hope. Knowing that other fans are probably feeling the same
way also helps them. In
addition, there is always the hope that their team will win the
next game. Russell has lost some
because of his love for baseball and although you may think that
would make him unhappy,he has made many more new friends because of
his team spirit.
For Sam Russell, supporting the
Red Sox it is a way of life and the
happiness.

There was a time when Whitney
didn't have a lot of friends. She was a bit shy and didn't
talk much. She never really wanted to be popular, but she did want
to have someone to share
secrets and laughs with. All through high school, though, she
didn't find a lot of friendship.
came time to go to college, Whitney was quite nervous. She was
going to room with
someone she didn't know and live in a town 300 miles away from
home. There wouldn' t be a
single person she knew in town. She had no idea how she was going
to make friends in this new
environment.
The first week of classes,
something happened and it changed Whitney's life forever. In
English Composition class, every student was asked to share a
little about herself. Whitney told
everyone where she called home and all of the other things that
students share in such situations.
The final question for each student was always the same: M What is
your goal ( 目标) for this
class?" Now, most of the students said it was to get a good grade,
pass the exam or something like
that, but for some reason, Whitney said something very different.
She said that her goal was to
make just one good friend.
While most of the students sat
in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out her
introduced herself. Hie girl asked if she would be her friend. The
whole room was silent
all eyes looked at Whitney and the hand extended just in
front of her. She smiled and reached
her hand out to take the girl1 s and a friendship was formed. It
was a friendship that lasted all
through college and many years after that. It was a friendship that
brought two people together.
Whitney learned the power of asking for what she wanted, being
honest and taking action.
