First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated (发掘) by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015, it is the oldest shipwreck (沉船) recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration. Black Sea Shipwreck Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project, the ship sank more than 2,400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world, is something I would never have believed possible,” said Professor Jon Adams, the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck. Gribshunden The flagship of John, King of Denmark, caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There, it lay undiscovered until members of a local dive club came across it in the 1970s; unaware of its significance, they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000, and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period, it has slowly been revealing its secrets. Black Swan In May 2007, a Florida-based company announced that, using underwater robots, it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic, code-named (代号为) “Black Swan”. However, the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy ships. After a long legal battle, the treasure was returned to Spain in 2012. 1. Which shipwreck is the latest discovery? A. Esmeralda. B. Black Sea Shipwreck. C. Gribshunden. D. Black Swan. 2. What do Black Sea Shipwreck and Gribshunden have in common? A. They were discovered in the same area. B. They were first noticed by local people. C. They were in good shape when discovered. D. They were in the possession of a royal family. 3. How did Spain get Black Swan returned? A. By going to the court. B. By contacting the Portugal government. C. By joining a battle against British navy. D. By offering another treasure as an exchange. B 15-year-old Jacob Grosberg walked the streets of down town on Saturday to try and help people dealing with health problems, especially mental issues. The Toronto teenager carried bags full of donated clothes and hygiene (卫生) products for people living on the streets or in shelters. Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity. According to the fund’s website, the money raised is donated to charities, hospitals and organizations to make a chance and improve resources. It didn’t take long for people living in the shelter on Wellington Street in Liberty Village to come out to receive what Grosberg was offering. From bags of socks, to hats, gloves, jeans and winter jackets, the people were excited and appreciative of the generosity. Martuia Archibald, 30, had a huge smile on her face as she put on a winter jacket and turned up the collar. She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said. Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said. “He shows me the way to move forward after his father is gone. He shows me the way to turn something terrible into something really positive.” That’s exactly what Grosberg is trying to achieve. “I think that doing this is not only inspiring more changes in myself, but hopefully can inspire a lot of others to do the exact same thing I’m doing,” Grosberg said. 4. What inspired Grosberg to set up the Conan Fund? A. His father’s suffering. B. His mother’s suggestion. C. The story of another teenager. D. The hope to cure mental illness. 5. What does the author want to show by mentioning Martuia Archibald? A. The change the Conan Fund brought to shelters. B. The most urgently needed supplies for the locals. C. The warmth needy people received from Grosberg. D. The greatest contribution Grosberg made to the world. 6. What can be inferred about Grosberg’s mother? A. She is a very optimistic person. B. She considers her son an inspiration. C. She co-founded the Conan Fund. D. She is always ready to lend a helping hand. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Inspiring People Around Oneself B. Seeing the Positive Side of Everything C. Becoming a Teenager with Great Confidence D. Turning a Struggle into a Charitable Movement C Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today. On a lonely, lunar-like valley of Iceland, Edda Aradottir is on a mission to put CO₂ back where it came from. She’s returning a tiny bit of it today but much, much more of it in the years ahead. In sending CO₂ deep beneath the surface of the planet, she’s aiming to reverse one of the most challenging acts of human history: the dugging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels. Aradottir shows how CO₂ caught from the air is mixed with water, then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so. There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-colored spots in the rock below. Scientists like Aradottir are working on ambitious — and sometimes controversial (有争议的) — projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical tree”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO₂. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Atop a university building in Zürich, an Uruguayan inventor presents a small bottle of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air. That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day. 8. What purpose do the figures in paragraph 1 serve? A. To show the necessity of removing carbon dioxide. B. To inspire readers’ interest in environmental protection. C. To highlight the amount of cars existing in the world today. D. To explain a commonly accepted reason for global warming. 9. The underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”. A. get B. advertise C. overturn D. discover 10. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. Aradottir’s daily routine. B. Aradottir’s field of study. C. The cost of Aradottir’s project. D. The explanation of Aradottir’s system. 11. What does the author think of the carbon removal projects? A Educational. B. Expensive. C. Efficient. D. Promising. D According to a recent study, individuals born in the 1970s exhibited brain volumes (容量) that were 6.6% larger and brain surface areas nearly 15% greater than those of people born in the 1930s. “The decade someone is born appears to impact brain size and potentially long-term brain health,” said Charles DeCarli, first author of the study. “Genetic (遗传) factors play a major role in determining brain size, but our findings indicate external influences — such as health, social, cultural, and educational factors — may also play a role.” The researchers used brain MRIs (磁共振成像) from participants. The MRIs were conducted between 1999 and 2019 with participants born during the 1930s through the 1970s. The brain study consisted of 3,226 participants (53% female, 47%male) with an average age of about 57 at the time of the examination. The research compared the MRIs of people born in the 1930s to those born in the 1970s. It found gradual but consistent increases in several brain structures. For example, a measure that looked at brain volumes showed steady increases decade by decade. For participants born in the 1930s, the average volume was 1,234 milliliters, but for those in the 1970s, the volume was 1,321 milliliters, or about 6.6% greater volume. Around 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, a serious disease, especially affecting older people. That number is expected to rise to 11. 2 million by 2040. Although the numbers are rising with America’s aging population, the percentage of the population affected by the disease is decreasing. A previous study also found a 20 percent reducation in the cases of dementia (精神错乱) per decade. “Larger brain structures may reflect improved brain development and improved brain health,” DeCarli said. “A larger brain structure represents a larger brain reserve and may reduce the ate-life effects of late-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.” 12. What did the recent study mainly find? A. Human brains are getting larger. B Humans become increasingly clever. C. Human brain volumes have increased 15% on average. D. Humans born in the 1970s are healthier than those in the 1930s. 13. What may Charles DeCarli agree with? A. Genetic factors impact long-term brain health. B. External factors also influence human brain size. C. The bigger the brain is, the healthier a person is. D. The decade someone is born shows the exact brain size. 14. How did the researchers get their final findings? A. By doing field trips. B. By exploring reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to similar studies. 15. What can the increased brain size probably lead to? A. Unpredictable brain structure changes. B. Less impact from age-related brain diseases. C. Development of new brain-protecting drugs. D. Faster recovery for patients with brain diseases. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soft skills are your personal characteristics displayed when you interact with others.

Luis jumped up and down, celebrating. Nicholas looked at him with a broad smile. At that moment, the bell rang. It was time to head back to the classroom for their next class. Just then, Devon walked up, his face red with anger. He yelled(吼叫) at Luis. It seemed unbelievable that Luis didn’t pass to him when he was way closer to the goal than Nicholas. Luis rolled his eyes and ignored him. That’s what he did with Devon most of the time—just ignored him. After school, Nicholas and Luis took the same bus home. Nicholas complained about the way that Devon talked after soccer. He’s always yelling at people. All that yelling made soccer less fun. So Nicholas wanted to move to the other part of the soccer field and tell Devon that he couldn’t play with them anymore. “What? But isn’t that... isn’t that leaving him out?” Luis asked. Nicholas put his head down and started playing with his hands. “Well, I already talked to all the other guys,” Nicholas said. He looked up. His eyes were set in determination. But telling Devon that he couldn’t play with them anymore? That seemed extreme for Luis. By the time he got home, Luis still didn’t have an answer. His older brother, Omar, welcomed him with a wide smile. Omar was the most cheerful person he had ever met. After carefully thinking of what Luis had mentioned, Omar suggested Luis talk to Devon—How can you expect someone to know he’s crossing a line with how he talks to you if you don’t tell him? “Shouldn’t it be obvious that it isn’t fun if you yell at people?” Luis asked. “Maybe it’s obvious to you. But not to him. Just like it’s obvious to me that you should start setting the table for dinner. But apparently not to you,” Omar replied. Luis thought about what Omar said. It was the only thing he could think of that didn’t involve shutting Devon out or letting him keep. yelling at people. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So, the next day before school started, Luis decided to talk to Devon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Just give him another chance, okay?” said Luis to Nicholas. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 保密★启用前 肇庆市 2023—2024学年第二学期高二年级期末教学质量检测 英 语 注意事项： 1.本试卷共120分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Esmeralda This Portuguese ship sank off the coast of Oman in 1503.

Inspiring People Around Oneself B. Seeing the Positive Side of Everything C. Becoming a Teenager with Great Confidence D. Turning a Struggle into a Charitable Movement 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了15岁的Jacob Grosberg为了帮助那些有健康问题，尤其是精神问题的人，他在街头分发捐赠的衣物和卫生用品，并设立了Conan Fund基金。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity.”（Grosberg父亲曾经因为抑郁症和精神疾病受苦。他去世后，Grosberg决定帮助其他有同样问题的人。他的解决方案是建立Conan Fund，这个名字来源于他父亲高中时的绰号，因为他的实力和知名度。）可知，是父亲的痛苦激发了Grosberg设立Conan Fund。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said.”（直到Grosberg来了，她才有了一件冬季外套，她被这个举动感动了。‘这意味着还有人在考虑我也需要温暖的衣物，’她说。）可知，作者提到马Martuia Archibald是想要表达，需要帮助的人从Grosberg那里得到温暖。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said.”（Grosberg的母亲说，她儿子的精神和善良激励了她。‘他激励了我，’她说。）可知，Grosberg的母亲认为她的儿子是她的激励，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I think that doing this is not only inspiring more changes in myself, but hopefully can inspire a lot of others to do the exact same thing I’m doing,” Grosberg said.”（格罗斯伯格说：‘我认为这样做不仅能激励我自己做出更多改变，而且希望能激励很多其他人做我正在做的事情。’）并结合Grosberg的经历可知，他在经历了父亲因病去世后，将艰难化作帮助他人的力量，创办Conan Fund去帮助有需要的人。D选项“把艰难变成慈善运动”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 C Over the past few centuries, we have dug, burned, drilled, pumped, lit, launched, driven, and flown our way to adding 2.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide to Earth’s atmosphere. That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.

There, the dissolved (溶解的) carbon dioxide meets porous basalt, a type of dark rock that comes from volcanoes, creating cream-colored spots in the rock below. Scientists like Aradottir are working on ambitious — and sometimes controversial (有争议的) — projects to remove carbon dioxide from the air and lock it away. In Arizona, an engineering professor shows his “mechanical tree”, a single one of which he says may someday be able to do the work of a thousand regular trees in catching and storing CO₂. In Australia, a leading oceanographer shows that seaweed is the answer, if only we’d help it grow in giant underwater gardens that could store billions of tons of carbon dioxide. Atop a university building in Zürich, an Uruguayan inventor presents a small bottle of fuel made from nothing but sunlight and air. That may be the most amazing of all the forms of carbon removal we’ve come across, as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day. 8. What purpose do the figures in paragraph 1 serve? A. To show the necessity of removing carbon dioxide. B. To inspire readers’ interest in environmental protection. C. To highlight the amount of cars existing in the world today. D. To explain a commonly accepted reason for global warming. 9. The underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”. A. get B. advertise C. overturn D. discover 10. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. Aradottir’s daily routine. B. Aradottir’s field of study. C. The cost of Aradottir’s project. D. The explanation of Aradottir’s system. 11. What does the author think of the carbon removal projects? A. Educational. B. Expensive. C. Efficient. D. Promising. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了处理大气中二氧化碳的几项研究和措施。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“That’s as much CO₂ as would be given off annually by 522 billion cars, or 65 cars per person living today.(这相当于5220亿辆汽车每年排放的二氧化碳，相当于今天每人65辆汽车)”可知，这些数字表明人类向大自然排放了大量的二氧化碳，表明处理二氧化碳的必要性，故选A。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前“In sending CO₂ deep beneath the surface of the planet(在在将二氧化碳送到地表以下深处的过程中)”以及划线单词下文“the dugging of massive amounts of carbon under the ground as fossil fuels.(在地下挖掘大量的碳作为化石燃料)”可知，之前人类在地下挖掘大量的碳作为化石燃料，现在Edda Aradottir致力于将二氧化碳排放到地球表面深处。这是相反的事情，因此，第二段中带下划线单词可替换为overturn“翻转”。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第三段讲到“Aradottir shows how CO₂ caught from the air is mixed with water, then fed through a complicated and detailed system of pipes that course downward 2,500 feet or so.(Aradottir展示了从空气中捕获的二氧化碳如何与水混合，然后通过一个复杂而详细的管道系统向下输送2500英尺左右。)”可知，这是解释如何将二氧化碳排放到地球表面深处。因此，第三段的主要内容是Aradottir系统的解释。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“as it suggests we may one day be able to make the best of carbon in a continuous cycle of zero-emission energy. Maybe. One day.(正如它所表明的那样，我们也许有一天能够在零排放能源的连续循环中充分利用碳。也许吧。有一天。)”可知，作者认为碳去除项目是有希望的。故选D。 D According to a recent study, individuals born in the 1970s exhibited brain volumes (容量) that were 6.6% larger and brain surface areas nearly 15% greater than those of people born in the 1930s. “The decade someone is born appears to impact brain size and potentially long-term brain health,” said Charles DeCarli, first author of the study. “Genetic (遗传) factors play a major role in determining brain size, but our findings indicate external influences — such as health, social, cultural, and educational factors — may also play a role.” The researchers used brain MRIs (磁共振成像) from participants. The MRIs were conducted between 1999 and 2019 with participants born during the 1930s through the 1970s. The brain study consisted of 3,226 participants (53% female, 47%male) with an average age of about 57 at the time of the examination. The research compared the MRIs of people born in the 1930s to those born in the 1970s. It found gradual but consistent increases in several brain structures. For example, a measure that looked at brain volumes showed steady increases decade by decade. For participants born in the 1930s, the average volume was 1,234 milliliters, but for those in the 1970s, the volume was 1,321 milliliters, or about 6.6% greater volume. Around 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, a serious disease, especially affecting older people. That number is expected to rise to 11. 2 million by 2040. Although the numbers are rising with America’s aging population, the percentage of the population affected by the disease is decreasing. A previous study also found a 20 percent reducation in the cases of dementia (精神错乱) per decade. “Larger brain structures may reflect improved brain development and improved brain health,” DeCarli said. “A larger brain structure represents a larger brain reserve and may reduce the ate-life effects of late-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.” 12. What did the recent study mainly find? A. Human brains are getting larger. B. Humans become increasingly clever. C. Human brain volumes have increased 15% on average. D. Humans born in the 1970s are healthier than those in the 1930s. 13. What may Charles DeCarli agree with? A. Genetic factors impact long-term brain health. B. External factors also influence human brain size. C. The bigger the brain is, the healthier a person is. D. The decade someone is born shows the exact brain size. 14. How did the researchers get their final findings? A. By doing field trips. B. By exploring reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to similar studies. 15. What can the increased brain size probably lead to? A. Unpredictable brain structure changes. B. Less impact from age-related brain diseases. C. Development of new brain-protecting drugs. D. Faster recovery for patients with brain diseases. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一项最近的研究发现，1970年代出生的人的大脑容量比1930年代出生的人大6.6%，大脑表面积几乎大15%。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to a recent study, individuals born in the 1970s exhibited brain volumes(容量)that were 6.6% larger and brain surface areas nearly 15% greater than those of people born in the 1930s.(根据最近的一项研究，20世纪70年代出生的人的脑容量比30年代出生的人大6.6%，脑表面积比30年代出生的人大近15%。)”可知， 20世纪70年代出生的人的脑容量比30年代出生的人大6.6%，脑表面积比30年代出生的人大近15%；由此可知，研究发现人类的大脑正在变大。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““The decade someone is born appears to impact brain size and potentially long-term brain health,” said Charles DeCarli, first author of the study. “Genetic (遗传) factors play a major role in determining brain size, but our findings indicate external influences—such as health, social, cultural, and educational factors—may also play a role.”( ‘一个人出生的年代似乎会影响他的大脑大小和潜在的长期大脑健康。’ 该研究的第一作者查尔斯·德卡里说，‘遗传因素在决定大脑大小方面起着主要作用，但我们的研究结果表明，健康、社会、文化和教育因素等外部影响也可能起作用。’)”可知，查尔斯·德卡里认为除了遗传因素在决定大脑大小方面起着主要作用，健康、社会、文化和教育因素等外部影响也可能起作用，由此可知，查尔斯·德卡里可能赞同外部因素也影响人脑的大小这一观点。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The research compared the MRIs of people born in the 1930s to those born in the 1970s. It found gradual but consistent increases in several brain structures.(该研究比较了20世纪30年代出生的人和70年代出生的人的核磁共振成像。研究发现，几个大脑结构逐渐但持续地增加。)”可知，该项研究对比了20世纪30年代出生的人和70年代出生的人的核磁共振成像，发现几个大脑结构逐渐但持续地增加；由此可知，该项研究是通过比较得出的最终结果。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“A larger brain structure represents a larger brain reserve and may reduce the ate-life effects of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.(更大的大脑结构代表着更大的大脑储备，可能会减少与年龄相关的脑部疾病（如阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆）对晚年的影响。)”可知，更大的大脑会减少与年龄相关的脑部疾病对晚年的影响；由此可知，大脑体积的增大可能会导致与年龄有关的脑部疾病的影响较小。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Soft skills are your personal characteristics displayed when you interact with others.

At that moment, the bell rang. It was time to head back to the classroom for their next class. Just then, Devon walked up, his face red with anger. He yelled(吼叫) at Luis. It seemed unbelievable that Luis didn’t pass to him when he was way closer to the goal than Nicholas. Luis rolled his eyes and ignored him. That’s what he did with Devon most of the time—just ignored him. After school, Nicholas and Luis took the same bus home. Nicholas complained about the way that Devon talked after soccer. He’s always yelling at people. All that yelling made soccer less fun. So Nicholas wanted to move to the other part of the soccer field and tell Devon that he couldn’t play with them anymore. “What? But isn’t that... isn’t that leaving him out?” Luis asked. Nicholas put his head down and started playing with his hands. “Well, I already talked to all the other guys,” Nicholas said. He looked up. His eyes were set in determination. But telling Devon that he couldn’t play with them anymore? That seemed extreme for Luis. By the time he got home, Luis still didn’t have an answer. His older brother, Omar, welcomed him with a wide smile. Omar was the most cheerful person he had ever met. After carefully thinking of what Luis had mentioned, Omar suggested Luis talk to Devon—How can you expect someone to know he’s crossing a line with how he talks to you if you don’t tell him? “Shouldn’t it be obvious that it isn’t fun if you yell at people?” Luis asked. “Maybe it’s obvious to you. But not to him. Just like it’s obvious to me that you should start setting the table for dinner. But apparently not to you,” Omar replied. Luis thought about what Omar said. It was the only thing he could think of that didn’t involve shutting Devon out or letting him keep. yelling at people. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So, the next day before school started, Luis decided to talk to Devon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Just give him another chance, okay?” said Luis to Nicholas. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】So, the next day before school started, Luis decided to talk to Devon. “Listen, Devon,” he started. “We like having you play soccer with us. But none of the other guys like being yelled at.” Devon looked really surprised to hear this, a sign that showed he hadn’t realized his bad impact on others. But, to his credit, he promised to mind his behavior and be considerate of others. It was beyond Luis s expectation that the conversation went so well. He couldn’t wait to share this with Nicholas during the class break. “Just give him another chance, okay?” said Luis to Nicholas. Nicholas agreed to take no action for the time being. From that day on, Luis noticed a dramatic change in Devon’s behavior. Hard though, he managed to contain his emotion. The team noticed too, and they started to appreciate his enthusiasm and skills.
