  Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left usI have been into sports since I was six years oldI 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 PawloskiI thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year beforeI showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problemThat was a big mistake.


  Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever metHe didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effortOne example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a gameSome think this is crazy, but it isn’tAfter 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 sincereThis man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high schoolHe expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroomIf 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 potentialNow, 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 trustedI can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in lifeMy school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their studentsI 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

1Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________

  Aconcentrated on skill training

  Bexpected the team to do well in their studies

  Bshowed no interest

  Cmade less effort

  Dhad less passion

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

  The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country

  Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricityA commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle

  The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.

  The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead

  “Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed, ”said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project“The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry, ”he said

  “More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances, ”Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP“This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling, ”she said

  In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the countryThose statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury

  Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics OfficeThe year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly

  The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller

1The intelligent bicycle is aimed to ________

Aprotect the environment

Bhelp reduce traffic pressure

Cpopularize the use of bicycles

Dimprove safety for elderly cyclists

2Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddenly found ahead ?

AThe handlebars.

BThe wheels.

CThe saddle.

DThe onboard computer.

3We can learn from the passage that ________.

  You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook

  Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languagesThe popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.

  Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordableThey also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.

  But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like themThey say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happenThey also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone elseYou might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.

  Imagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hateTry to imagine the consequences of such a transformationPeople might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficialThey could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishmentsSociety would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and supportHuman relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groupsSociety's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (动力) to workIn fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.

  In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptationEmotions structure the world for us in important waysAs individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotionsTrue, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyfulWe also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall societyOut of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will acceptIn fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itselfIt gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.

1Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

  Apeople would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects

  BPeople would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them

  C$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotions

  DThere would be full of lies, arguments and violence

2In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.

  Athe ability to make money

  Bthe capacity to work

  Cthe motivation to work

  Dour emotional experiences

3Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?

  AThey help society use its members for more profit.

  BThey encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.

  CThey help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.

  DThey help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.

4What is the text mainly about?

  APeople could only live in a world with emotions.

  BPeople would always do bad things in the emotionless world.

  CEmotions are very important in the world.

  DEmotions structure the world for us in important ways.
