Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when McNeed, a basketball coach, met Mandekich.When Mandekich, a math teacher, told McNeed how hard it was to get students excited about math at a gathering, he suggested,“Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?”“You are kidding!”Mandekich dismissed his idea at the moment.
The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot two years later, when Mandekich and McNeed, the now colleagues who had launched a tutoring nonprofit were invited to run a summerschool program for kids who'd failed Grade 9 math at Vanier School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren't exactly thrilled.Over the next few hours, Mandekich and McNeed gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their fieldgoal percentage which, in turn, taught them math knowledge.At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math.“When the bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn't leave,”says Mandekich.The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools.
Later, McNeed and Mandekich established a private school called Uchenna.At the school, kids with excellent basketball skills study all subjects, train at their sport and work parttime helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs.For the school's first graduates, the value of BallMatics is clear:all of the 16 boys landed university scholarships for their performance in the classroom, not on the court.“The school's commitment to academics is the key reason for our success.The coaches would bench students who didn't keep up in class.”Abbott, one of them, says,“At Uchenna, we were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
4.How did McNeed's suggestion sound to Mandekich at first?( )
A.Confusing. B.Absurd.
C.Practical. D.Professional.

A.They improved students' efficiency.

B.The coaches cared little about students.
C.Uchenna attracted more and more students.
D.He doubted the education idea of the school.
7.What is the best title for the text?( )
A.Big Win B.Math Struggling
C.Numbers Game D.Athlete Training

Years ago, I interviewed James Patterson, an advertising manager, about the latest campaign.But all he wanted to talk about was fictionwriting.“I hope to be a writer.It is always in my head,”he said.
I remember thinking:Sure, you and everybody else.
A decade or so later, however, I was surprised to see James on TV, holding up his new book.
Mr.Patterson's ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”.The term, coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius, grew out of research on selfconcept.While selfconcepts—“I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”—are rooted in the present, the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change.
These possible selves, both positive and negative, are closely related to motivation.A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice.A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a nondrinker.In a small study, when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hopedfor selves) or inactive (feared selves), both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward.
A possible self can take you beyond daydreams, which are often not necessarily grounded in reality.It can come to fruition if you build a bridge from your“now” self to the possible self.“If you're regularly dreaming of a different career, enroll in a course, shadow someone, take up a hobby or a side job.Making the transition requires you to say now, today, this week, these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal,”said Daphna Oyserman, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California.
But don't quit your job just yet.An analysis of careertransition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and reevaluations as you go.Mr.Patterson, for example, wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency; he found his style only after many tries.
8.Why does the author mention the interview?( )
A.To show his expectation.
B.To explain his surprise.
C.To display Patterson's ability.
D.To introduce a concept.
9.What can we learn about the idea of “possible selves”?( )
A.It involves three aspects.
B.It allows personal growth.
C.It ensures one a promising future.
D.It includes the idea of selfconcept.
10.What does professor Daphna intend to express?( )
A.The idea of “now” self.
B.The wish for the career transition.
C.The importance of concrete action.
D.The necessity of expertconsulting.
11.What is probably talked about in the following paragraph?( )
A.Different writing styles.
B.Multiple research methods.
C.Patterson's success in his advertising business.
D.The exploration and adaptation of job transition.

The subject of Jay Owens's new book has long been trying to kill me.Like millions of people around the world, I am allergic to dust.I have long considered it an enemy.But Owens is out to broaden our perspective.
While each particle (微粒) of dust may be tiny, together they have outsized consequences.Approximately 2bn tons of dust are lifted into the Earth's atmosphere each year, Owens tells us, both absorbing and reflecting the sun's energy and seeding clouds—therefore directly affecting global temperatures and climate.Like water, dust is part of an essential ecological cycle.
Owens's own fascination with dust started in 2015, with a road trip through California.Owens was transfixed by the story of Los Angeles, whose growth and modern existence was only possible through the systematic theft of water and the creation of a dust desert to the east.
Early in the book, Owens unpacks the history of hygiene (卫生), exploring how dirt and our relation to it has changed over centuries, and cleanliness—or the pursuit of it—defines our modern lives.After the Industrial Revolution, emerging ideas about the relationship between dirt and disease made dust something to be fought against—a responsibility that fell on women.The poorest people tended to have the least time and money to clean a house; often, their jobs were to clean the houses of others.“The history of 20thcentury cleanliness is, thus, a history not only of the making of sex and class distinctions, but racialised inequalities.”
Perhaps the most emotionally stirring chapter in the book is that Owens retells the story of the nuclear age not through mushroom clouds, but through the radioactive dust they left behind.One study estimated that the effects of atmospheric nuclear testing would eventually result in the deaths of 2.4 million people from cancer, a threat“that has gone substantially unnoticed because radioactive dust is such a delayed killer”.
One reason to think about dust Owens writes in Dust:The Modern World in a Trillion Particles is “to challenge ourselves to try to see the world beyond our easy imaginings”.
12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?( )
A.The impact of dust on temperatures.
B.The amount of dust in the atmosphere.
C.The comparison between dust and water.
D.The traveling course of dust around the world.
13.What does the underlined word “transfixed” mean in Paragraph 3?( )
A.Thrilled. B.Inspired.
C.Embarrassed. D.Shocked.
14.How does Owens regard dust?( )
A.It is a distant concern.
B.It carries political meanings.
C.It changes our relation to nature.
D.It is a reflection of tech advancement.
15.What is the purpose of the passage?( )
A.To introduce a book.
B.To support an author.
C.To present a phenomenon.
D.To correct misunderstandings.

14.解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“‘The history of 20thcentury cleanliness is, thus, a history not only of the making of sex and class distinctions, but racialised inequalities.’(因此,20 世纪的清洁史不仅是一部制造性别和阶级差别的历史,也是一部种族化的不平等历史。)”根据第四段可知,Owens 在书中探讨了灰尘与人类社会之间的关系,再根据定位句并结合备选项可推知,他认为灰尘具有政治意义。故选B。

Good morning, everyone!It is a pleasure to talk about a topic that has played a crucial role in my life—selfdiscipline.Selfdiscipline isn't just about studying hard;it's a life skill.I've seen this in action during my study routine.Setting a clear plan, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and sticking to a schedule allowed me to stand out in my studies and avoid any delay.
Selfdiscipline reaches beyond academics.Pursuing my passion for playing the piano taught me that progress demands patience.Every day, rain or shine, I practiced.This consistency not only enhanced my piano skills but also built determination and strength.
In conclusion, selfdiscipline is the key to success in both academics and life.
