Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in life. If two teams play game, one team must lose. If a dozen (team) attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the eleven teams will get (few) points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.
that team and that school must do is to admit that it (lose). The only intelligent reaction defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote (we) to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.
Lessons (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more (value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in "house" activities, and, especially, in the student council.
Watch actor Sterling K. Brown, and one of the first things you may notice is his eyes.
In a scene from the last season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Brown plays Reggie, a hard-nosed manager. His language is rough, but his eyes reveal something more: he's feeling guilty and defensive. Or look at his work on NBC's hit drama This Is Us, where Brown plays Randall Pearson, a black man adopted by a white family. Again, Brown's eyes reveal a lot.
Those two performances have allowed Brown to make Emmy Awards history this year: nominated as best lead actor in a drama series for This Is Us and best supporting actor in a comedy series for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon's Prime Video.
Grateful as he is for his nominations, Brown also sees the record number of black performers nominated for Emmys about 34% of acting nominees this year—as a welcome reaction to the civil rights reckoning and Black Lives Matter protests of the summer.
The actor says it's also part of a long march toward recognition for black performers, held back by oppres-sion in Hollywood back to the early 1900s, when white people wore black-face to play black characters in films.
Brown has made history at awards shows before：in 2018, he became the first black man to win best actor in a drama at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
With degrees from Stanford University and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Brown has spent about two decades appearing on TV shows like Lifetime's Army Wives and his first series regular role, playing a cop on FX's short-lived 2005 drama Starved.
These days Brown is excited about the new season of This Is Us, which will begin with two episodes ad-dressing both the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests.
While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list, the ever-changing ICEHOTEL may change your mind. Lying 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjarvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually.
The 35 rooms, built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets, vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an ice bed and a reindeer skin. Among the highlights this year is the "Spruce Woods" suite. Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O'Keefe of Canada, it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus, a forest, and even an artificial campfire.
There is also the artfully-carved "Living Ocean" suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans. The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark "swimming" right over the ice bed. "The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans, "says artist Jonathan Paul Green. "I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells, fish, and coral is exciting."
The nearby "Haven" suite is a "magical gate of ice" guarded by two large animals. "We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that stimulates curiosity and creativity, "says artist Jonas Johansson. "It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light, shine, and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation."
Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling -5℃! That is why guests are advised to snuggle (蜷伏) up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.
