I don’t think I have ever seen a more exciting volleyball match. The first two sets were
far from exciting. It looked like it was going to be a quick, three-set affair, like so many other St.
Helens wins this year. This alone was enough to surprise me.
Mountain View served to start the match, St. Helens scored first to go up 1-0. Then, the
Lions won that opening set 25-15. In the second set, Keylie served up nine straight points to
open the match with the Lions ahead 9-0. Then, Mountain View made a couple of adjustments,
St. Helens didn’t pass as well, and the cougars made a game of it. Still, in the fourth set there was
a sense the Lions would come back and win it. When Madison Kaplan dropped an ace to make it
23-24 in the fourth set, I was ready to see the Lions rattle off three more points. They didn’t,
however, and it was on to a win-or-go home fifth set.
The last set was a challenge. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to focus my attention on
getting pictures of the bench reacting of the players playing or the players on the court reacting
because all of them were great. I ended up doing kind of a mixture of the three while also trying
to pay attention to what exactly was happening during play so I could jot it down. And that fifth
set was just awesome to watch. Flat out, a ton of fun. There was extra focus over those last
several points. The passes were precise. The set went a little bit higher, to ensure there was a
little more time for the hitters to pound the ball. The body language exuded confidence. There
wasn’t a moment when it looked like the Lions would let this win and trip to the state tournament
slip away.
It was three times, Mountain View served ahead 15-14, but St. Helens got a sideout.
Mountain View server for the match again at 16-15. St. Helens got another sideout. The Cougars
served again with a trip to Liberty on the line at 17-16. The Lions answered the call again. Tied
17-17, Hailee Fischer stepped to the line. Logan Kalauli came up big over those last two points
and her kill set off a celebration for years in the making.
If the grit and determination they showed during the fifth set on Saturday was indication,
this year’s team certainly won’t go quietly. They aim to get a trophy. It won’t be easy. It might
be stressful.

 How to Ride with Proper Body Position on
a Road Bike
A good neutral ridding position start with the head and goes all the way to your feet. On long
rides, check in occasionally with your body position to make sure you haven’t drifted back into
bad habits.
1. Relax your shoulders and bring them down, away from your ears. If you have been
pushing hard on a climb, you may notice those shoulders stiffen and start to creep up
again.
2. Lowering your shoulders away from your ears will free up your head, making it easier to
run and look for traffic and actually helps you stay more alert.
3. Bend your elbows. Just like on a mountain bike, riding with relaxed, bent elbows allows
your arms to act like suspension. If you hit a pot hole or bump in the road, your arms can
you absorb impact. Unlike mountain bike body position, your elbows should be tucked
into your sides instead of out wide like wings. Keeping your elbows bent will also reduce
strain in your shoulders and allow you to ride with less pressure in your hands.
4. There should not, however, be a bend in your wrist. Maintain a straight line from your
elbow through your fingers on the brakes. If this is hard, it might be a bike setup issue
you should discuss brake lever and hood position with your professional bike fitter.
5. Maintain a neutral spine. Your back should be relaxed, keeping a fairly straight line
between your hips and your shoulder.
6. Make sure your knee is tracking over the ball of your foot /pedal. If your knees are
bowing out to the side when you ride, it may look a little funny and it will definitely
cause inefficiency and pain.

7. After reading the text above, the readers are hoped to ….

A. have good posture.
B. be safe on the road.
C. be able to ride a road bike.
D. differentiate between riding a road bike and a mountain bike.
E. ride a road bike with proper position.

Tips for Healthy Hair

How you wash your hair and the products you use can go a long way forward maintaining
smooth, shiny hair. Follow these simple tips from dermatologists to maintain healthy hair.
1. Wash oily hair more frequently. If your scalp is oily, you may need to wash it as often as
once a day. If you have chemically treated hair, your hair may be drier, so you may want
to wash it less frequently. As you get older, your scalp makes less oil, so you may not
need to shampoo as often. But if you see flakes in your hair, you may not be shampooing
enough. This can lead to dandruff and other scalp diseases.
2. Concentrate shampoo on the scalp. When washing your hair, concentrate on cleaning
primarily the scalp, rather than washing the entire length of hair. Washing only your hair
can create flyaway hair that is dull and coarse.
3. Use conditioner after every shampoo unless you use a “2-in-1” shampoo, which cleans
and conditions hair. Using a conditioner can significantly improve the look of damaged
or weathered hair by increasing shine, decreasing static electricity, improving strength
and offering some protection from harmful UV rays.
4. Concentrate conditioner on the tips of the hair. Because conditioners can make fine hair
look limp, they only should be used on the lips of the hair and not on the scalp or length
of the hair.
5. Choose a shampoo and conditioner formulated specifically for your type. For example, if
you color your hair, use a shampoo designed for color-treated hair. If our hair is damaged
or chemically treated, consider a “2-in-1” shampoo.
6. Protect hair when swimming. Protect your hair from the damaging effects of chlorine by
wetting and conditioning your hair before swimming. Wear a tight-fitting swim cap.

10. What should you do to maintain your hair healthy?

A. Wash our hair thoroughly.
B. Wear a tight-fitting swim cap when swimming.
C. Wash oily hair once a week.
D. Use shampoo and conditioner that suit our hair type.
E. Use chemical only for fine hair.
