10.Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time.I spent three busy days in the capital of Italy,seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations.There were a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics(遗迹)from its distant past.These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country.The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating.You can't quite believe how old they are.

Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques(精品店)but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range!It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.There was also a Christmas market,where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

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 (选拔赛) 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. trained the team to the edge of death

B. expected the team to do well in their studies

C. asked the team to do more reading than training

D. concentrated on skill training

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

A. made less effort B. paid no attention

C. showed no interest D. had less passion

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

A. professional and serious B. skilled and cruel

C. hardworking and honest D. strict and helpful

7.As a child,my family moved around a lot.Once,when (61)asked (ask) how she stood moving from one town to another,my mother answered,"As long as there's a library,I'm happy."I remember after one move,getting my new library card and rediscovering many of the familiar friends(62)who/whom/that I thought I'd left behind.Over the years,wherever I lived,I could always rely on (63)being surrounded (surround) by old friends:Sherlock Holmes,Jay Gatsby,and more.
I've always been a great reader.While in school,the library provided me (64)with required reading,term papers and science projects.And as a young adult,it became a source of free (65)entertainment (entertain),which brought me endless joys.I managed to make(66)it easy to have access to best-selling authors,classic movies and music with very little income.
Recently,matters (67)have changed (change).When my aging mother moved in with us,one of the first things I did was take her to the public library,followed by many weekly trips until her failing health made it (68)impossible (possible).I believe her influence led to two of my brothers ending up (69)working(work) at libraries,continuing (70)to
encourage young readers and helping others in their quest for knowledge.
