These winners have made remarkable contributions to their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding. Nobel Prize in Physics The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They employed physics tools to develop methods that paved the way for advanced machine learning. Hopfield created a structure capable of storing and reconstructing information, while Hinton invented a method that independently identifies data properties, crucial for modern artificial neural networks. Nobel Prize in Chemistry In Chemistry, the focus was on proteins, vital for life. David Baker achieved the seemingly impossible by crafting entirely new protein types. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper tackled a 50-year-old challenge with their Al model that predicts complex protein structures, holding immense potential. Nobel Prize in Literature Han Kang, a South Korean author, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for her intense poetic prose (散文) addressing historical mental scars and exposing human life’s weakness. Her unique awareness of body-soul connections and her innovative style have made her a contemporary prose pioneer. Nobel Peace Prize The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors. This is quite different from other awards given to individuals. It won the prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. The organization was formed by survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima (广岛) and Nagasaki (长崎) in1945. 1. Whose contribution is vital for artificial neural connections? A. Geoffrey Hinton. B. Demis Hassabis. C. Han Kang. D. John Hopfield. 2. What assisted scientists in solving a half-century-old problem? A Crafting new protein types. B. Advanced machine learning. C. AI model. D. Analyzing data properties. 3. Which prize was awarded to a group? A. Nobel Prize in Physics. B. Nobel Prize in Chemistry. C. Nobel Prize in Literature. D. Nobel Peace Prize. B A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS). Bekele’s brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body’s natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele’s own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. ”He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure. “I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans. During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.” Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer. 4. What made Bekele an instant hit? A. Starting a soap fashion. B. Overcoming skin cancer. C Being the youngest scientist. D. Creating a soap against skin cancer. 5. What inspired Bekele to invent SCTS? A. His concern for others. B. His adventure in childhood. C. His enthusiasm for technology. D. His interest in medical knowledge. 6. What will Bekele do in the near future? A. Obtain official approval. B. Visit undeveloped areas. C. Increase the availability of the soap. D. Update the facilities of production. 7. Which of the following can best describe Bekele? A. Inspiring and modest. B. Humorous and positive. C. Creative and considerate. D. Curious and independent. C A group of farmers in Nigeria are using a new method to grow crops from moisture (水汽) in the air. The method, known as aeroponics, does not use soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air and take in nutrients from water mist. The method could make a big difference in places where huge amounts of land have been made unfarmable. Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. Ogbole says they are working hard to end the seasonal food shortage in Nigeria. “It is just farming anytime during the year, meaning we can plant crops anytime during the year, and we can harvest anytime during the year.” But setting up the aeroponics farm was not easy. It required more than $180,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this nontraditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about it. In fact, in Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers. Aeroponics, however, does not require traditional farm work or much land. Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system, greatly increasing productivity. Dr. Phillip Ojo, Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council, says the government welcomes the new farming method. Ojo notes that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials. The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria’s economy. The government wants to greatly expand this percentage. For now, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access to high-quality seeds to guarantee (保证) better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward. 8. What do we know about aeroponics? A. It helps crops draw nutrients from the soil. B. It is the process of growing plants in water. C. It is not affected by the seasons. D. It is aimed at bringing back farmland. 9. What does “a situation” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The overuse of the farmland. B. The poor condition of the soil. C. The traditional method of farming. D. The high cost of the aeroponics farm. 10. What is Dr. Phillip Ojo’s attitude to aeroponics? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Unbearable. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Nigeria’s agricultural industry. B. A new planting mode in Nigeria. C. The popularity of the aeroponics farm. D. The need of skilled farmers in Nigeria. D The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012. Critics argue that outsourcing memory (like relying on smartphones for contact details) and passive media consumption, such as endless scrolling, could weaken mental sharpness. But is this really true, especially for older adults who have witnessed the digital revolution firsthand? A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure. This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active. Learning new apps, resolving tech issues, and even online socializing could function like mental workouts, strengthening cognitive resilience (恢复力). In fact, technology aids instead of harming because it offers men tal stimulation, enhances social connection, and boosts independence via problem-solving.’ While this study is a relief, not all tech use is equal in its effects. Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning. Additionally, too much screen time in younger people has been linked to attention problems and poor sleep — which could have long-term effects. As AI and brain-computer interfaces advance, older adults may gain even more tools to support cognition, from memory aids to virtual social companions. However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume. For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age. 12. What does the 2024 study reveal about “digital dementia” compared with the popular idea? A. It draws a contrary conclusion. B. It agrees with Manfred Spitzer’ theory. C. It only occurs in older adults. D. It equals the effect of physical workouts. 13. Why can active digital use reduce the risk of cognitive decline? A. It can prolong our life. B. It can activate our brain. C. It can solve tricky issues. D. It can enhance our ability. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Reliability of the new study. B. Negative effects on the young. C. Downsides of passive tech use. D. Contrast between two tech uses. 15. What does the author suggest the elderly do in the last two paragraphs? A. Relieve their fear quickly. B. Get more tools to sharpen cognition. C. Consume technology simply. D. Make considered use of modern tech. 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。 For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places.____16____. Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent.____17____, causing the person who’s the object of a person’s stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable. ____18____. The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive. Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person’s over-awareness of the messages they are giving. In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may maintain their eye contact so that their lies would not be noticed.____19____. But on the contrary, evasive (逃避的) eye contact is a sign of discomfort. Why do we avoid looking at a person? It may be because we feel ashamed to be looking at them if we’re being dishonest of trying to take them in. Evasive eye contact may also a sign of dishonesty. However, Scotland’s University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response.____20____, when this energy could be spent on deep thinking. A. This is a widely recognized indicator of lying B. Constant eye contact is often considered to be rude C. Eye contact is the act of looking into someone’s eyes D. But there’s something you may not know about eye contact E. Overpowering eye contact can make the other person excited F. Even between humans and non-humans, lasting eye contact is sometimes unadvisable G. Eye contact, as a socializing device, can take a surprising amount of effort to maintain 第三部分 完形填空：(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分, 共15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration.

My father has a fixed idea that I would become a farmer too. Although I respect him and am indeed skilled at doing some farm work, I don’t agree that I should automatically follow in my father’s footsteps. When I was a teenager, my father happened to take me to an airport which belonged to one of his friends. It was the first time I had seen an aeroplane in real life. Knowing that I had never been on board, my father’s friend Tom offered me an opportunity to fly with him in his small aeroplane. I quickly accepted his offer! When we took off, I felt nervous but thrilled. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I had ever felt. I was just enjoying it. I assumed being a pilot would be the most awesome thing in the whole world. From that day a thought crept into my mind that I wanted to become a pilot, but I doubted whether my father would support me. After all, it was a totally different path from what he had planned for me. Therefore, I put the thought to the back of my mind, because I knew he would still insist on holding onto his previous idea. Anyway besides helping my father on the farm, I would frequently visit Tom’s airport. Gradually, I got familiar with every button and switch on the aircraft and I learned a lot about planes, such as how to fill the plane with fuel, how to check the engines and so on. But what I had learned just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional pilot. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 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。 This time I would not hide my desire any more. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the graduation ceremony, with my father present, I, as “Best Pilot”, had to deliver a speech. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 文山市第一中学高二年级10月月考 英语试卷 全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、学校、班级、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚，并将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，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，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The method, known as aeroponics, does not use soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air and take in nutrients from water mist. The method could make a big difference in places where huge amounts of land have been made unfarmable. Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. Ogbole says they are working hard to end the seasonal food shortage in Nigeria. “It is just farming anytime during the year, meaning we can plant crops anytime during the year, and we can harvest anytime during the year.” But setting up the aeroponics farm was not easy. It required more than $180,000. And some people in Abeokuta were very much against this nontraditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change people’s minds about it. In fact, in Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers. Aeroponics, however, does not require traditional farm work or much land. Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system, greatly increasing productivity. Dr. Phillip Ojo, Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council, says the government welcomes the new farming method. Ojo notes that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials. The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria’s economy. The government wants to greatly expand this percentage. For now, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access to high-quality seeds to guarantee (保证) better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward. 8. What do we know about aeroponics? A. It helps crops draw nutrients from the soil. B. It is the process of growing plants in water. C. It is not affected by the seasons. D. It is aimed at bringing back farmland. 9. What does “a situation” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The overuse of the farmland. B. The poor condition of the soil. C. The traditional method of farming. D. The high cost of the aeroponics farm. 10. What is Dr. Phillip Ojo’s attitude to aeroponics? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Unbearable. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Nigeria’s agricultural industry. B. A new planting mode in Nigeria. C. The popularity of the aeroponics farm. D. The need of skilled farmers in Nigeria. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了尼日利亚农民采用气培法种植作物的情况，包括该方法的原理、优势以及在推广过程中面临的成本高、民众接受度低等挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段““It is just farming anytime during the year, meaning we can plant crops anytime during the year, and we can harvest anytime during the year.”(“这实现了一年中的任何时候都能耕种，意味着我们可以在一年中的任何时候种植作物，也能在任何时候收获。”)”可知，气培法（aeroponics）不受季节限制，可随时种植和收获。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers.(在尼日利亚北部，仅有 49% 的土地是肥沃的，这一情况让传统农民感到担忧。)”可知,“a situation”指代前文提到的 “仅有 49% 的土地肥沃” 这一土壤条件差的情况。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Dr. Phillip Ojo, Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council, says the government welcomes the new farming method. Ojo notes that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials.(国家农业种子委员会总干事菲利普・奥乔博士表示，政府对这种新的耕作方法持欢迎态度。奥乔指出，有了气培技术，农民可以迅速增加种植材料。)”可知，奥乔博士作为官方代表，其态度与政府一致，对气培法持支持态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合原文第一段“A group of farmers in Nigeria are using a new method to grow crops from moisture in the air.(尼日利亚的一群农民正在使用一种新方法，利用空气中的水汽种植作物。)”可知，文章介绍尼日利亚农民使用气培法种植作物，后续围绕该方法的原理、推广困难、政府态度及对尼日利亚农业的意义展开。 可知，文章核心是介绍尼日利亚的一种新型种植模式。故选B。 D The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012. Critics argue that outsourcing memory (like relying on smartphones for contact details) and passive media consumption such as endless scrolling, could weaken mental sharpness. But is this really true, especially for older adults who have witnessed the digital revolution firsthand? A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure. This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active. Learning new apps, resolving tech issues, and even online socializing could function like mental workouts, strengthening cognitive resilience (恢复力). In fact, technology aids instead of harming because it offers men tal stimulation, enhances social connection, and boosts independence via problem-solving.’ While this study is a relief, not all tech use is equal in its effects. Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning. Additionally, too much screen time in younger people has been linked to attention problems and poor sleep — which could have long-term effects. As AI and brain-computer interfaces advance, older adults may gain even more tools to support cognition, from memory aids to virtual social companions. However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume. For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age. 12. What does the 2024 study reveal about “digital dementia” compared with the popular idea? A. It draws a contrary conclusion. B. It agrees with Manfred Spitzer’ theory. C. It only occurs in older adults. D. It equals the effect of physical workouts. 13. Why can active digital use reduce the risk of cognitive decline? A. It can prolong our life. B. It can activate our brain. C. It can solve tricky issues. D. It can enhance our ability. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Reliability of the new study. B. Negative effects on the young. C. Downsides of passive tech use. D. Contrast between two tech uses. 15. What does the author suggest the elderly do in the last two paragraphs? A. Relieve their fear quickly. B. Get more tools to sharpen cognition. C. Consume technology simply. D. Make considered use of modern tech. 【答案】12 A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨“数字痴呆症”说法，研究表明老年人合理使用数字技术有益认知。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea that too much screen time and digital dependence might harm our cognitive abilities — often called “digital dementia (痴呆)” — has been debated since psychiatrist Manfred Spitzer coined the term in 2012.(自精神病学家曼弗雷德·斯皮策2012年提出“数字痴呆症”这一术语以来，关于过多的屏幕时间和数字依赖可能损害我们认知能力的观点就一直存在争议。)”以及第二段中的“A major 2024 study published in Nature Human Behaviour analyzed data from over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. Surprisingly, it found that regular use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet was associated with a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline — a stronger protective effect than even physical exercise or maintaining healthy blood pressure.(2024年发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项重大研究分析了41.1万多名50岁及以上成年人的数据。令人惊讶的是，研究发现，经常使用电脑、智能手机和互联网与认知能力下降风险降低58%相关——这种保护作用甚至比体育锻炼或保持健康血压更强。)”可知，2024年的研究与普遍认为的“数字痴呆症”观点结论相反。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This doesn’t mean technology directly prevents dementia, but it suggests that staying digitally engaged may help keep the brain active.

Passive activities, like binge watching TV, may not offer the same benefits as interactive tasks, such as video calls or online learning.(虽然这项研究让人松了一口气，但并非所有的技术使用都有相同的效果。被动活动，比如疯狂看电视，可能不会提供与互动任务相同的好处，如视频通话或在线学习。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是被动使用技术的缺点。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“However, balance remains key. The best approach? Use technology actively — learn, connect, and problem-solve — rather than just consume.(然而，平衡仍然是关键。最好的方法是什么？积极使用技术——学习、联系和解决问题——而不仅仅是消费。)”以及最后一段中的“For now, older adults shouldn’t fear “digital dementia.” Instead, thoughtful tech use might be one of the best ways to keep their minds sharp in the digital age.(目前，老年人不应该害怕“数字痴呆症”。相反，在数字时代，深思熟虑地使用技术可能是保持思维敏锐的最佳方式之一。)”可知，作者建议老年人合理使用现代技术。故选D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。 For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places.____16____.

From 1405 to 1433, he led seven large-scale maritime expeditions, reaching over 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa. These voyages were not for conquest but to promote cultural exchanges and trade. He brought Chinese silk, porcelain and technology to other lands, while also introducing foreign products and cultures back to China, which greatly boosted friendly relations between China and the world.

My father has a fixed idea that I would become a farmer too. Although I respect him and am indeed skilled at doing some farm work, I don’t agree that I should automatically follow in my father’s footsteps. When I was a teenager, my father happened to take me to an airport which belonged to one of his friends. It was the first time I had seen an aeroplane in real life. Knowing that I had never been on board, my father’s friend Tom offered me an opportunity to fly with him in his small aeroplane. I quickly accepted his offer! When we took off, I felt nervous but thrilled. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I had ever felt. I was just enjoying it. I assumed being a pilot would be the most awesome thing in the whole world. From that day a thought crept into my mind that I wanted to become a pilot, but I doubted whether my father would support me. After all, it was a totally different path from what he had planned for me. Therefore, I put the thought to the back of my mind, because I knew he would still insist on holding onto his previous idea. Anyway, besides helping my father on the farm, I would frequently visit Tom’s airport. Gradually, I got familiar with every button and switch on the aircraft and I learned a lot about planes, such as how to fill the plane with fuel, how to check the engines and so on. But what I had learned just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional pilot. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 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。 This time I would not hide my desire any more. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the graduation ceremony, with my father present, I, as “Best Pilot”, had to deliver a speech. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(One possible version) This time I would not hide my desire any more. Determined to follow my heart I explained to my father how I felt. I told him that I wanted to go to a college to learn to fly instead of being a farmer. After saying this, I waited nervously for his reaction. To my surprise, he approved my request, and he told me he was moved by my perseverance. With his support and my efforts, I was admitted into my ideal college. At the graduation ceremony, with my father present, I, as “Best Pilot”, had to deliver a speech. In my speech, I shared with the audience my story about how a teenager realized his dream. Faced with difficulties, I took a path that led me do something that needed passion, training and practice.
