The Winner

It was the first swim meet of the year for our newly scorned middle-school swimming team. The

atmosphere(

气氛

)on the three-hour bus ride was exciting as the team only thought of

31

. However,

the excitement turned into shock as they walked off the bus and stared(

盯着

)in disbelief at their strong

Greek-god-like opponents(

对手

).Halfway through the meet, Coach Huey realized that be had no swimmers

for one of the events.

“Okay team, who wants to swim the five

-hundred-

yard freestyle?” the coach asked.

Several hands went up, including Justin Rigsbee’s. “I’ll race, Coach!”

The coach looked down at the young boy and said, “Justin, this race

is twenty lengths of the pool. I’ve

only seen you swim eight.”

“Oh, I can do it, Coach. Let me try.”

Coach Huey finally agreed, not

32

though. After all, he thought, it’s not the winning but the

trying that builds

33

.

The whistle(

哨子

)blew and the opponents flew through the water and finished the race in just four

minutes and fifty seconds. The winners got together to socialize while our group

34

to finish. After

four more long minutes, the last tired members of our team got out of the water. The last except for Justin.

Justin was

35

breaths as his hands hit the water and pushed it aside to move his thin body

forward. It appeared that he would go under at any minute. Yet something seemed to keep pushing his

onward.

“Why doesn’t the coach stop this child?” the parents spoke among themselves. “He looks like he’s not

going to make it, and the race was won four minutes ago.”

But what the parents did not realize was that the real race, the race of a boy becoming a man, was just

36

.

The coach walked over to the young swimmer and quietly spoke. The parents thought, “Oh, he’s

finally going to pull that boy out before he kills himself.” But to their

37

. the coach stepped back from

the pool’s edge, and the young man continued to s

wim.

One teammate, inspired by his brave friend, went to the side of the pool and walked the lane as Justin

continued. “Come on, Justin, you can do it! Keep going! Don’t give up!” He was joined by another, then

another, until the whole team was walking the length of the pool cheering for and

38

their teammate

to finish the race set before him. Their opponents saw what was happening and

39

them. Soon the

room was full of energy and excitement as teammates and opponents alike gave courage to one small

swimmer.

Twelve long minutes after the starting whistle had blown, a tired but

40

Justin Rigsbee swam his

final lap and pulled himself out of the pool, The standing ovation (

起立鼓掌

)they gave Justin that day

proved that the greater victory was his, just for finishing the race.

Qiu Shaochun is the most famous leaf-blowing musician in China. The

53

-year-old has performed in

more

than

30

countries

and

areas.

beginning

almost

twenty

years

ago,

when

he

toured

Spain,

France

and

Italy

with

a

theater

company

from

Xiamen, Fujian Province.

Growing up in a Fujian village, Qiu would spend hours listening to

fishermen

make

music by blowing on leaves. He learned the skill

from

his father, a high school music teacher. Later, he majored (

主修

) in Erhu

and

became

a

successful

Erhu

player.

But

he

never

gave

up

on

his

childhood dream of making leaf-blowing his career. He achieved this when he joined the traveling theater

company from Xiamen in

1996

.

Qiu is trying to bring leaf-blowing to a higher level. Over the years, he has learned how to play three

octaves (

八度音阶

) on a leaf. In addition to Chinese songs, he also plays well-known foreign ones. He has

also improved his playing methods by controlling and adjusting (

调节

) his breath.

“Leaves may be the oldest and simplest musical instrument in the world,” he said. People learned to

play

the

leaf

more

than

10

，

000

years

ago

for

fun

and

communication.

Though

any

kind

of

leaf

can

be

used as an instrument, it is important to choose tough (

坚韧的

), smooth and thin leaves. Qiu prefers the

leaves of the

banyan

, the city tree of Fuzhou, where he now lives.

He is now trying hard to spread leaf-blowing. Qiu was invited to give talks and performances on the

campus

of

the

Chinese

University

of

Hong

Kong,

encouraging

a

group

of

15

people,

including

several

professors, to take up leaf-blowing as a bobby.

45. Qiu learned the skill of leaf-blowing from _______.

A. his father

B. fishermen

Help! Is This My Body?

Has this ever happened to you? You’re dressing for a party and when you pull on your favorite years,

you can no longer button

them. If you’ve ever felt out of step with your body, you’re not alone. We become

more

aware

of

(

意识

)

looks

right

around

the

time

our

bodies

begin

changing.

This

can

make

physical

changes difficult to deal with emotionally. Getting used to a changing body is about more than just looks,

though, Lots of teens base their self-image (

自我形象

) on how their bodies feel and perform. Changes in

our

bodies’

appearance,

performance—

even

such

small

details

as

the

way

they

smell

—

are

all

perfectly

normal parts of growing up.

So what can you do to help become more comfortable with

your body physically and emotionally?

Here are some ideas.

Don’t compare

! It’s natural to look at our friends for comparison. But it’s not a good idea. Comparing

ourselves with others is problematic became everyone develops differently and at different times. If you go

through a growth sport (increase) early, you may feel too tall. Yet your friend may be thinking that he or she

is too small. It’s usually hardest for the people who develop first or l

ast.

Treat your body well

. Making educated choices about food exercise is part of developing a mind and

life of your own. Healthy eating and exercise can also give you some control over how your body turns out.

Many teens stop playing sports around the time their bodies develop. You can still do any activity if you

really are interested in it. It’s also all right to switch (

转换

) to another activity. Don’t stop exploring how

your body feels. Do different activities that help you become more familiar with your body.

Walk tall

—

even if you’re not

! There’s not much you can do about your height or development, but

you can focus on

what you really like about yourself. Maybe it’s your curly hair or the dimple (

酒窝

) you

get when you smile. Maybe it’s that you are a really thoughtful person or you are good at making people

laugh. As your body changes, it can help to work on good posture and walk with a sense of confidence.

After doing this for a while, you’ll probably become more confident too.

Accept

and

appreciate

your

body,

no

matter

what

it

looks

like

right

now.

and

—

just

like

a

good

friend

—

it can do a lot for you in return!

49. What does the writer think of comparing oneself with others?

A. It’s good way to build teens’ self

-confidence.

B. It’s wrong because not everyone wants to be perfect.

C. It’s necessary if teens want to know how well their bodies develop.

D. it’s unreasonable because teens’ bodies don’t develop at the same speed.

50. What does the writer suggest teens do in Paragraph

4

?

A. Stop playing dangerous sports.

B. Eat more to get more energy.

C. Make wise food and exercise choices.

D. Do different activities that strengthen the body.

51. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To encourage teens to be different from other.

B. To advise teens to properly deal with their body changes.

C. To invite teens to join in more sports and have a healthier diet.

D. To help teens realize that their bodies are always changing.

Mindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab rat (

老鼠

) continuously pushing a

button in order to get a treat.

When you check your phone, your brain gets its own little zing; Someone

might be talking about you on Facebook! No? Reload. Maybe your Instagram

got a heart! Reload. Reload.

But

you’re

no

rat.

Human

brains

can

fight

the

ways

apps

hijack

our

brains, if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.

Are

Facebook

or

Twitter

“addictions”

(

瘾

)?

Recent

scientific

research

about social media (

媒体

) doesn’t agree on that term, but evidence (

证据

) that

we

aren’t

doing

well

is

present

at

dinner

tables

where

everyone

is

staring

at

screens,

and

at

crosswalks

where absent- minded people walk into traffic.

I became

mindful of

my early- morning bad habits. Pre-

coffee, half awake, I’d lie

there for an hour

with my phone. So I called up psychologists, brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually

would help me.

Surprisingly,

they

didn’t

tell

me

to

immediately

stop,

but

instead

told

me

I

needed

the

skills

for

managing social media as part of my life.

Limit Triggers

(

诱因

)

Our

brains

are

made

to

quickly

eat

up

information.

So

why

let

social- media

companies

decide

when

to

attract

you?

Turn

off

app

notifications

(

通告

)

on

your

phone

and

computer.

Especially

for

live

video

broadcasts. They are designed to create the fear of missing out.

Avoid Quicksand

When you’re on Facebook, it is easy to red one article, then another.

Nir Eyal, author of the

2014

book “Hooked” says he forces himself not to read anything right away.

Instead, he saves articles to a servi

ce called Pocket, which reads them aloud while he’s at the gym.

We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work .Our brains need a chance

to be empty .Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise, even for a short period.

Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.

Make New Norms

Not that long ago, you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class; now, many

openly

use

their

phones

or

laptops.

Bosses

could

set

a

better

work

culture

by

providing

charging(

充

电

)stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones, then focus on the discussion at hand. Mr.

Eyal

suggests

you

try

shaming

friends

who

have

bad

habits

–

if

you

do

it

politely.

If

someone

is

not
