A
Montgomery County Special Olympics held its eighth yearly show of unified (联合的) basketball at Blesd Sacrament School.The gym was filled with cheerleaders (啦啦队队员)，parents and friends.The walls were covered with posters made by thirdand fourthgraders at the school.And all the elementary，middle and high school unified teams were playing hard and having fun.Every basket，no matter which team scores，is cheered and celebrated.
Special Olympics support more than 20 unified games.What are unified games？They are
programs designed for players with special needs.In the games，they play with kids who are volunteers，called unified partners.The special athletes are unable to play normally like other healthy kids，and some of them are wheelchair (轮椅) urs.In basketball，the unified partners rebound (抢得篮板球)，pass and sometimes push a special athlete’s wheelchair.As Brian Ross，a venthgrader at St.Albans School in Washington，says，“You just try to help and get everyone to take part.”
Some special athletes have come a long way to be where they are.Caleb Head is a 15yearold special athlete.When he started，Caleb would only stand at the door and watch.Then Caleb began to practice his shooting but still would not play in the games.Now Caleb runs up and down looking for his shot.雪梨汤的做法
The special athletes are not the only ones who benefit (受益) from unified sports；the unified partners do，too.Marla Grusin，who son Tyler is a special athlete，says every kid should come to a Special Olympics game.If they do，they will learn “to share the ball” and that the game “is not all about me”．
Not a bad lesson for any athlete.

B
As a little girl，one of my favorite family traditions was held on the first day of May.Along with my sister，my mother and I would make simple flower baskets by making paper into cones (圆锥形)：Then，we filled the bottom of the cone with small candies before putting some flowers into it.
With our May Day baskets in hand，my sister and I became anonymous_giftgivers.After hanging a basket on the front door of a neighbor or friend，we rang the doorbell and ran away.The goal was to remain cret givers.
Historically，the first day of May，often referred to as “May Day，” has been recognized
淡静as a celebration of spring，of life and growth.Parades (游行) and dances are ways that the day has been—and continues to be—celebrated in many parts of the world.Although formal May Day celebrations may be less common now，it is always worth celebrating.Here are some simple and lovely ways to celebrate May Day in our homes and with tho we love：
Making a May Day basket is always a great choice.Although the May Day basket we made as children was simple，the making of the basket was a joy in itlf.Consider making or buying some flowers for friends.Fill the basket with a few sweets and write a note thanking your friend or neighbor for their kindness，their prence，and their love.
软烧茄子On May Day，we also take flowers to a local hospital or nursing home.Flowers are always welcome in places that are too often full of sadness.Stopping to have a conversation with a patient and thanking a nur would be an additional gift—to the receiver and to us!
Besides，we always give friends small gifts to celebrate May Day.A small book or magazi
ne with a note，an art print celebrating spring—the choices are endless.When your friends are far away，an unexpected gift can reawaken friendship across the miles.
