Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us.I have been into sports since I was six years old.I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski.I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before.I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem.That was a big mistake.

Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met.He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort.One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game.Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t.After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere.This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school.He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom.If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.

In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential.Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court.

He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted.I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life.My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students.I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.

【1】Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.

A.concentrated on skill training

B.expected the team to do well in their studies

C.trained the team to the edge of death

D.asked the team to do more reading than training

【2】The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A.paid no attention

B.showed no interest

C.made less effort

D.had less passion

【3】In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.

A.professional and serious

B.hardworking and honest

C.skilled and cruel

D.strict and helpful

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

【1】根据文章中地三段的内容,尤其是He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom,可知B选项与之相一致,故选B。

【2】根据本单词后面的一句not putting forth my full potential(没有尽我的全部力量),可知C选项的意思与此句相符,故选C。

【3】根据全文对布莱恩教练的描述以及他和作者之间发生的事情,可知他对自己的学生很严格要求,但与此同时,根据第四段中的I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life,可充分体现布莱恩教练helpful这一品质,故选D。

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Our oldest daughter is having trouble letting go of an old red sofa.

It’s not the sofa she’s having trouble letting go of as much as the memories.It was their first sofa.It has been loaded and unloaded onto moving trucks seven times.Three kids have eaten on it,dripped on it,and jumped on it.

Yet she’s having a hard time letting go and asked if I thought that was strange.

“Completely,” I said.“You get it from me.”

When we were ready to get rid of our baby things,I sold our crib (婴儿床) at the neighborhood garage sale.I had pieces of it in the garage and the other pieces of it still in the house.A young woman said she wanted to buy it.

My throat tightened and the tears began to well.She pulled out cash and I cheered up.

But by the time I returned with the other pieces to the crib,I was all sobbing.“Have you considered that maybe you’re not ready to sell it?” the woman asked.

“No-o-o-o,” I cried.“It’s fine,really,” I said.“Take it.”

Our attachment to stuff grows in direct relationship to the amount of time it has sat in one place.The longer it sits,the harder it is to get rid of it.You think: “Hey,we’ve hung onto it this long it must be valuable!” As though yellowing and a layer of dust increase value.

People who find it extremely hard to part with things have been made into entertainment in a television show called Hoarders.If an episode (集) of that isn’t depressing enough for you,producers now offer Extreme Hoarders.Both of which are not to be outdone by Storage Wars,a show about aggressive people who bid on other people’s storage units.

Let the sofa go,I told my daughter.It served its purpose.You can get a new one.Give the kids some crackers (饼干) and juice and it will be like the old one in six weeks.

【1】What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence “You get it from me”?

A.“You can get another sofa from me.”

B.“You can get mental support from me.”

C.“You behave just the same way I do.”

D.“You are asking the right person to help you.”

【2】When the writer was selling the crib,_____.

A.she felt relieved that there was someone willing to buy it

B.she showed a strong attachment to the old item

C.she couldn’t decide whether or not to sell it in the end

D.she changed her mind in hopes of keeping it and increasing its value

【3】The writer refers to the television shows to _____.

A.prove that it’s depressing to get attached to old stuff

B.explain what contributes to people’s attachment to old stuff

C.show that people in TV shows live the same lives as ordinary people do

D.prove that it’s actually common for people to find it hard to get rid of old stuff

【4】Which opinion might the writer agree with according to the article?

A.If you give away old stuff regularly,you are wasteful.

B.If the old stuff has done what it was supposed to,then let it go.

C.Nothing is more valuable than your love for your old stuff.

D.The older your stuff is,the less trouble you have getting rid of it.

Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:

Schedule yearly exams. 【1】 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.

Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. 2 .

Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 3 Experts advised that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

4 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote(促进) eye health.

Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 5 . Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

A.Eat your greens.

B.People should begin the eye care early in life.

C.They can properly protect your eyes.

D.Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.

E. Parents usually don’t care about their own eyesight.

F. Always follow the doctor’s advice for proper wear.

G. This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

How to teach a child to respect

As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart (传授) all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. 【1】 A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well. Here are some instructions.

Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

2 The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

Agree to disagree. 3 Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t equate to disobedience (违抗).

Control your impulse (冲动) to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behaviour. 4___

Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5___

A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.

B. Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.

C. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D. If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

E. A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.

F. When you see your child exhibit respectful behaviour, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G. Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.
