“I will never find time to learn this difficult lesson,” said Robert to Frank as they left school. “I can’t do it by tomorrow.”
“You have ten minutes now before lunch. Why not begin immediately?” asked his brother.
“Ten minutes! That’s nothing. Besides, I must have a run with my dog Rover now,” replied Robert.
After lunch, the two boys walked to school again. Frank took out his book and began to learn part of it as he walked along. While Robert looked for birds in the trees all the way to school.
“Come with us to play football!” shouted a group of school friends as they finished school for the day. Robert ran away with the boys. Frank promised to follow in 15 minutes, and took out his book once more. This done, he played with the boys, and enjoyed the game.
The two brothers were tired that evening, and went to bed early. But when they returned to school the next day, Frank knew his lesson perfectly. However, Robert told the teacher that he did not have time to learn it.
“How did you find time, Frank?” asked his teacher.
“I had 10 minutes before lunch yesterday; 15 minutes as I walked back to school; and another 15 minutes before playing football. Then I looked over my lesson for 10 minutes before going to bed; and took 10 minutes before breakfast this morning to make it perfect.”
“That makes an hour’s preparation,” replied his teacher. “Frank, you may run and play at break time. Robert, you will spend break time learning that lesson.

C(2024·浙江金华·三模)
① “Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. But can we take this saying literally?
②One popular view is that if a person practises for at least 10, 000 hours, he will reach “perfection”, or in other words, become an expert in a field. It was given by Malcolm Gladwell in his best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10, 000 hours of practice before they became successful.
③However, Gladwell’s book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalizing (概括). Anders Ericsson argued that 10, 000 hours was just an average figure. Some people may need fewer than 10, 000 hours and others may need more. He also said that practising a lot was not enough, the type and quality of practice also made a difference. Most importantly, he mentioned the importance of “deliberate (刻意) practice”. When a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than as a whole, it’ll be much more effective, though it’s tiring.
④ Many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors (因素) such as IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age can also counted. Natural talent is an important factor, especially in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America with amazing vision can see the ball much sooner than others do. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
⑤ In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead us to improvement.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 2 refer to (指代)?
A.The view. B.The word. C.The book. D.The field.
2.What is Anders Ericsson’s attitude (态度) to Gladwell’s view on practice?
A.Amazed. B.Worried. C.Hopeful. D.Doubtful.
3.Which of the following is especially important in sports according to Princeton University’s study?
A.IQ. B.Personality. C.Natural talent. D.Starting age.
4.Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
A.Practice makes better. B.Rome was not built in a day.
C.Every man has his price. D.A good beginning is half done.
D(2024·山东潍坊·中考真题)

F(2024·四川泸州·中考真题)
We all want to do things well. For example, as students all of us want to have a good performance in study and get good grades. However, growing up also includes accepting when things go wrong. In fact, mistakes can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful results.
Aiming for good results can help you focus on (关注) your goals, but it’s also important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on whether things go as planned can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to worry. That’s why it’s good to leave some room for mistakes and imperfections.

She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr. Vara. “Or we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead us to put off doing difficult things or avoid trying new things.”

Instead, thinking about what you might do differently next time helps a lot. In one study, if students were reminded to forgive (宽恕) and be kind to themselves when they failed a test, they felt more encouraged to try again, while other students were less pleased to have a second try.

The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an 3 tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all 4 and rested before he could go to sleep.
The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. Some camels sat down on their own, 5 others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after quite a lot of effort,” the old man said.
James nodded.
The old man continued, “Your problems are just 6 the camels. There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best. Leave such problems to time until one day they themselves come to an end.”
James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life’s challenges.

②One popular view is that if a person practises for at least 10, 000 hours, he will reach “perfection”, or in other words, become an expert in a field. It was given by Malcolm Gladwell in his best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10, 000 hours of practice before they became successful.
③However, Gladwell’s book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalizing (概括). Anders Ericsson argued that 10, 000 hours was just an average figure. Some people may need fewer than 10, 000 hours and others may need more. He also said that practising a lot was not enough, the type and quality of practice also made a difference. Most importantly, he mentioned the importance of “deliberate (刻意) practice”. When a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than as a whole, it’ll be much more effective, though it’s tiring.
④ Many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors (因素) such as IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age can also counted. Natural talent is an important factor, especially in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America with amazing vision can see the ball much sooner than others do. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
⑤ In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead us to improvement.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 2 refer to (指代)?
A.The view. B.The word. C.The book. D.The field.
2.What is Anders Ericsson’s attitude (态度) to Gladwell’s view on practice?
A.Amazed. B.Worried. C.Hopeful. D.Doubtful.
3.Which of the following is especially important in sports according to Princeton University’s study?
A.IQ. B.Personality. C.Natural talent. D.Starting age.
4.Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
A.Practice makes better. B.Rome was not built in a day.
C.Every man has his price. D.A good beginning is half done.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了“熟能生巧”的观点。
1.代词指代题。根据“One popular view is that if a person practises for at least 10, 000 hours, he will reach “perfection”, or in other words, become an expert in a field. It was given by Malcolm Gladwell”可知,如果一个人练习至少1万个小时,他将达到“完美”,这是Malcolm Gladwell的一种观点,因此“it”指代“The view.”。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据“Anders Ericsson argued that 10, 000 hours was just an average figure. Some people may need fewer than 10, 000 hours and others may need more. He also said that practising a lot was not enough, the type and quality of practice also made a difference.”可推知,Anders Ericsson对Gladwell的观点表示怀疑。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据“Natural talent is an important factor, especially in sports.”可知,普林斯顿大学的研究表明天赋在体育运动中特别重要。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据“ In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead us to improvement.”可知,作者认为:练习不一定能达到完美,但是刻意的练习已经被证明能让我们进步。故可推知,作者可能会同意选项A的表述。故选A。

We all want to do things well. For example, as students all of us want to have a good performance in study and get good grades. However, growing up also includes accepting when things go wrong. In fact, mistakes can lead to some of the most interesting and meaningful results.
Aiming for good results can help you focus on (关注) your goals, but it’s also important to focus on enjoying the process. Getting too hung up on whether things go as planned can put a lot of pressure on you and lead to worry. That’s why it’s good to leave some room for mistakes and imperfections.
Dr. Rekha Vara is a doctor who helps people with their mental health (心理健康). She says getting things wrong is part of growing up. “We also have to experience the uncomfortable feeling when we get things wrong. This helps us to become stronger,” says Dr. Vara. “Or we’ll be too scared to make mistakes. This fear can lead us to put off doing difficult things or avoid trying new things.”
Learning from your mistakes is necessary during growing up. The most important thing is what you choose to do next. Try not to take it too seriously, blame (责备) yourself or feel too disappointed or upset. Dr. Vara explains, “Remember you’re a common man. Humans make mistakes.” ______, then these feelings will soon pass and then you’ll feel happier.
Instead, thinking about what you might do differently next time helps a lot. In one study, if students were reminded to forgive (宽恕) and be kind to themselves when they failed a test, they felt more encouraged to try again, while other students were less pleased to have a second try.

The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.” “That’s true. Some camels sat down on their own, 5 others required some effort, and yet many camels did not sit even after quite a lot of effort,” the old man said.
James nodded.
The old man continued, “Your problems are just 6 the camels. There are always some problems that cannot get solved even if you’ve tried your best. Leave such problems to time until one day they themselves come to an end.”

Last summer, I wanted a new bike. But my family was too poor to afford it. I was very sad and upset. After three weeks, I saw an old bike standing in front of my house. “I don’t like the bike. It is too old.” My mother didn’t say anything after hearing my words. At that night, my father told me my mother cooked some dishes in the restaurant to buy this bike. Although it was not the one that I wanted, it was my mother’s love. I regretted what I did and apologized to my mother.
From this experience, we should value what we have and the persons who love us.
