A team of AI researchers at Microsoft, working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.
This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI. Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.
Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.
After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems.
24. Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium?
A. To reduce carbon emissions. B. To meet the industry standard.
C. To decrease the cost of a battery. D. To generate electricity efficiently.
25. What do the underlined words “this approach” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Using AI to find possible materials. B. Adding other materials to a battery.
C. Developing an application to collect data. D. Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium.
26. How did the research team finally find a promising alternative?
A. By seeking funding from PNNL. B. By asking experts for advice.
C. By turning to Microsoft for help. D. By cooperating with other scientists.
27. What is the existing challenge with the new approach?
A. It is less effective than expected. B. It costs too much time and money.
C. It occupies too much room. D. It processes at a lower speed.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了微软的一组人工智能研究人员与太平洋西北国家实验室(PNNL)的同事合作,利用人工智能开发了一种使用更少锂的电池。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.(锂电池已经成为电子设备和电动汽车的行业标准,预计将在向绿色能源的转变中发挥重要作用。但是锂是昂贵的,这导致全球多个团队寻找替代品。在这项新的努力中,研究小组寻找减少电池中锂用量的方法)”可知,研究人员开发使用更少锂的电池是为了降低制作电池的成本。故选C项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.(研究人员注意到,人工智能应用程序擅长使用大量数据来学习如何做事,因此他们设计了一个人工智能应用程序,可以研究数百万种可能被添加到锂电池中的材料,以取代一定数量的锂,并测试稳定性等因素的结果,以及使用特定材料的电池的行为方式)”可知,本段介绍了研发团队开发了一款人工智能应用程序来研究数百万种可能被添加到锂电池中的物质以取代一定数量的锂。故“this approach”指利用人工智能来筛选出可能替代锂的物质。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.(科学家们建议增加更具体的筛选标准和更多的测试轮次。在采纳了这个建议之后,研究小组得出了一个有希望的替代方案,即用钠原子取代电池中大约一半的锂原子)”可知,研究小组通过向专家征求意见最终找到一种有希望的替代方案。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement.(在使用这种新方法制造出可工作的电池后,研究人员发现它的电导率比所需的要低——但他们也相信还有改进的空间)”可知,新方法存在的挑战是效果不如预期。故选A项。
C
A parasocial relationship (PSR)is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — for example, a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist.
The term “parasocial relationships” first appeared in the 1950s, when psychologists tried to understand how television viewers reacted to TV personalities speaking to them directly out of the screen. Later in the 70s and 80s, scholars began to assume that forming parasocial relationships was driven by loneliness. However, not-lonely people are just as likely to form a connection with that person on the screen. As fandoms(粉丝圈)became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, parasocial relationships became associated with youth and immaturity.
It’s true that adolescents particularly tend to develop intense parasocial relationships because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. Since the rise of social media, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships has been hugely amplified(放大). The traditional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan has no actual contact with a celebrity, is visibly changed by our new means of communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply.
When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness. People think they really have more of a relationship than they do. Online fandoms, especially large ones full of adolescents with strong emotions can generate bad behavior among adults. Behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be, thanks to social media, given the chance to spread. “There’s a sort of echo chamber effect(回声室效应)where people convince themselves, ‘everyone agrees with me and therefore we are all right in our approach,’” says Gayle Stever, the author of Parasocial Experiences.
Parasocial relationships are natural and not inherently (固有地)unhealthy. But as Stever says, “Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocialrel ationship.”

【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拟社会关系(parasocial relationships)的定义、起源、发展、影响及特点,指出拟社会关系并不固有地不健康,但也要认识到其可能带来的问题。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“The term ‘parasocial relationships’ first appeared in the 1950s, when psychologists tried to understand how television viewers reacted to TV personalities speaking to them directly out of the screen.(拟社会关系一词最早出现在20世纪50年代,当时心理学家试图了解电视观众是如何对电视人物直接从屏幕上与他们交谈做出反应的。)”可知,第二段首先讲述拟社会关系的起源,然后从文中“Later in the 70s and 80s, scholars began to assume that forming parasocial relationships was driven by loneliness. However, not-lonely people are just as likely to form a connection with that person on the screen. As fandoms(粉丝圈)became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, parasocial relationships became associated with youth and immaturity.(在70年代和80年代后期,学者们开始认为形成反社会关系是由孤独驱使的。然而,不孤独的人同样有可能在屏幕上与那个人建立联系。随着粉丝圈在20世纪后半叶变得更加明显,拟社会关系与年轻和不成熟联系在一起。)”可知,接着讲述其随时间的推移而发展的情况。由此可知,第二段主要讲拟社会关系的发展。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since the rise of social media, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships has been hugely amplified(放大).The traditional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan has no actual contact with a celebrity, is visibly changed by our new means of communication—a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply.(自从社交媒体兴起以来,超社会关系现象被极大地放大了。传统的拟社会关系,即粉丝与名人没有实际接触,由于我们新的沟通方式而发生了明显的变化——名人可能会看到粉丝的信息,甚至回复。)”可知,社交媒体改变了拟社会关系,粉丝可以在线与名人互动。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness. People think they really have more of a relationship than they do. Online fandoms, especially large ones full of adolescents with strong emotions can generate bad behavior among adults. Behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be, thanks to social media, given the chance to spread.(当粉丝通过社交媒体帖子接触到这位名人时,会增加亲密感。人们认为他们真的有比他们更多的关系。网络粉丝,尤其是那些充满强烈情绪的青少年的大型粉丝群,会在成年人中产生不良行为。由于社交媒体,可能仅限于一个人或几个人的行为可能会有机会传播。)”可知,这部分内容提到了社交媒体使粉丝行为传播地更快,另外根据本段最后一句“‘There’s a sort of echo chamber effect where people convince themselves, ‘everyone agrees with me and therefore we are all right in our approach,’ says Gayle Stever, the author of Parasocial Experiences.(拟社会经历一书的作者盖尔·斯特弗说:“有一种回声室效应,人们说服自己,‘每个人都同意我的看法,所以我们的方法是正确的。’)”可知,斯特弗在书中提到回声室效应是为了解释在线粉丝群体中行为是如何传播的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Parasocial relationships are natural and not inherently unhealthy. But as Stever says, ‘Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocial relationship.’(拟社会关系是自然的,并非天生不健康。但正如Stever所说,“任何关于常规社会关系的事实都可能是关于拟社会关系的。”)”可知,作者对拟社会关系持客观态度,认为其并不固有地不健康,但也要认识到其可能带来的问题。故选D项。
D
The human mind is a remarkable device. However, it is not without limits, which has to do with our brain’s executive (执行的) function.
Imagine that you are facing a very difficult decision about which of two job offers to accept. One position offers good pay but is pretty boring, while the other job is really interesting but the pay is not ideal. Clearly you can solve this problem in many ways. Few people, however, know that you might choose the wrong job because you resisted the urge to eat a piece of cake before considering the job offers.
Unrelated activities can exhaust (消耗) the executive function and disturb your ability to make an important decision. It’s long been recognized that challenging cognitive (认知的) tasks can make it harder to focus later on. But recent research suggests that these mental activities may be much broader. One study found that participants who made choices in a shop were more likely to delay preparing for an important test. Instead of studying, these “tired” minds engaged in other leisure activities.
Why is making a decision so tough? One theory suggests that when you switch from thinking about options to actually making a decision, this switch requires executive resources. Other studies show that making choices itself may be taxing. For example, in one study, the scientists show that people who had to rate the attractiveness of different options were much less worn out than those who had to actually make choices between the very same options.
These findings have important real-world significance. Our brain works like a muscle: when exhausted, it becomes less effective. Furthermore, we should take this knowledge into account when making decisions. If we’ve just spent lots of time focusing on a particular task, or even if we’ve just made lots of seemingly minor choices, then we probably shouldn’t try to make a major decision. These harmful effects from a tired brain may have a strong shaping effect on our lives.
32. According to the text, what may make you choose the wrong job?
A. Both jobs are equally appealing. B. You didn’t eat the cake.
C. There are too many solutions. D. Your brain is tired out.
33. What does the underlined word “taxing” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confusing. B. Tiring. C. Scaring. D. Disappointing.
34. What does the author suggest?
A. Train the brain like exercising muscles.
B. Spend less time on making small choices.
C. Make vital choices with a refreshed brain.
D. Avoid concentrating on a task for too long.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Tough Choices. B. Mental Function.
C. Facts of the Brain. D. Studies of Jobs.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了大脑的执行功能对决策能力的影响,指出无关活动会消耗执行功能并干扰重要决策,大脑像肌肉一样会疲劳,因此在做出重要决策时应考虑这一点。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Few people, however, know that you might choose the wrong job because you resisted the urge to eat a piece of cake before considering the job offers.(然而,很少有人知道,你可能会因为在考虑工作机会之前忍住了吃一块蛋糕的冲动而选择了错误的工作。)”和第三段“Unrelated activities can exhaust (消耗) the executive function and disturb your ability to make an important decision.(无关的活动会耗尽执行功能,并干扰你做出重要决定的能力。)”可知,无关的活动会消耗大脑的执行功能,从而干扰做出重要决定的能力,可能会因此选择错误的工作,即大脑累了可能会让你选择错误的工作。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“When you switch from thinking about options to actually making a decision, this switch requires executive resources.(当你从思考选项转向实际做出决定时,这种转换需要执行资源。)”可推知,做出选择本身可能是需要花费精力,是令人疲倦的。 taxing意为“令人疲惫的”。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Furthermore, we should take this knowledge into account when making decisions. If we’ve just spent lots of time focusing on a particular task, or even if we’ve just made lots of seemingly minor choices, then we probably shouldn’t try to make a major decision.(此外,我们在做决定时应该考虑到这一点。如果我们刚刚花了很多时间专注于一项特定的任务,或者即使我们刚刚做出了很多看似微不足道的选择,那么我们可能就不应该试图做出一个重大的决定。)”可知,作者建议我们在大脑清醒的时候做出重要的决定。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“The human mind is a remarkable device. However, it is not without limits, which has to do with our brain’s executive (执行的) function.(人类的大脑是一个非凡的器官。然而,它并非没有极限,这与我们大脑的执行功能有关。)”可知,本文主要讲的是大脑的执行功能对做艰难选择的影响。由此可知,A选项“艰难的抉择”最能概括全文内容。故选A项。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you my class meeting today. We had a heated discussion on the harm of over-reliance on answer-finding apps. Everyone voiced their opinions through personal experiences and innermost feelings. It was unanimously agreed that these apps, despite their convenience, hinder deep thinking and independent learning.
This meeting has firmly convinced me that we should use these apps as an assistant rather than a substitute. Only by taking on challenges independently can we truly grow and improve. Now, I am determined to be more cautious with these apps and encourage my classmates to follow suit.
Do you have similar concerns in the UK? Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I turned into the parking lot at the high school the other day, I pulled my hoodie(连帽衫)over my face and lowered down in the driver’s seat so nobody on my tennis team would see me. They’ve been after me for weeks, and they’re like: “Hey, come on. We need you in the team.” They are such great peer pressure! They totally know I’m not ready yet because I hurt my wrist and now I have to learn to serve with my other hand. It could take years for a former leftie to develop a right-handed serve (发球)that’s good enough for competitive play. I slipped out of the car.
“Hey!” Oh no. Coach Johnson. My team leader. “Are you going to play in the match next week?” she shouted at me from the court where she was overseeing practice. I rushed past. “Hey, come back here! Are you even on this team?” That was so embarrassing. I was trying to ignore her because I just wasn’t ready. I needed more time to recover.
Just then, luckily, I saw Alex, my tennis role model and former doubles partner, standing up on the other side of the court. He would have to protect me. I walked toward him. Then the worst thing ever happened: Alex turned on me, too. “Hey, are you ever going to play again?” he said aloud.
“I don’t think I can do this,” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“I’m scared.”
“Of what?” he asked.
“Embarrassing myself,” I said.
“You don’t need a hard serve to win,” he said. “All you need to do is get the ball over the net every time it comes to you. The winner, in tennis and in life, is usually the one with fewer unforced errors.” he said.
His words impressed me. The unforced error is when you beat yourself and the worst error of all is when you don’t even try.
“I’m ready to play,” I whispered to myself.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

With a newfound determination, I walked back towards Coach Johnson.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With a newfound determination, I walked back towards Coach Johnson. The team stopped practicing, all eyes on me. I could feel the weight of their expectations, but Alex’s words echoed in my mind. I raised my hand to signal my readiness. Coach Johnson's face broke into a smile. “Glad to have you back,” she said, and the team erupted into cheers. I joined the practice, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and excitement. As I served with my right hand, it wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to keep the ball in play. My teammates gathered around me, encouraging and supporting my every move.
The match came, and I stepped onto the court. My wrist was still aching but my spirit was unbroken. Amidst the deafening crowd, I concentrated on each point, striving to minimize unforced errors. The game was tough, and we didn’t win, but we fought with everything we had. As we left the court, I knew I’d made the right choice. I'd faced my fear and played with all my heart. My wrist might have been injured, but my spirit was stronger than ever. I’d learned that in tennis, as in life, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up and giving it your best shot.

A team of AI researchers at Microsoft, working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory(PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.
This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI. Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.
Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.
After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed — but they also believe that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems.
24. Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium?
A. To reduce carbon emissions. B. To meet the industry standard.
C. To decrease the cost of a battery. D. To generate electricity efficiently.
25. What do the underlined words “this approach” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Using AI to find possible materials. B. Adding other materials to a battery.
C. Developing an application to collect data. D. Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium.
26. How did the research team finally find a promising alternative?
A. By seeking funding from PNNL. B. By asking experts for advice.
C. By turning to Microsoft for help. D. By cooperating with other scientists.
27. What is the existing challenge with the new approach?
A. It is less effective than expected. B. It costs too much time and money.
C. It occupies too much room. D. It processes at a lower speed.
C
A parasocial relationship (PSR)is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — for example, a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist.
The term “parasocial relationships” first appeared in the 1950s, when psychologists tried to understand how television viewers reacted to TV personalities speaking to them directly out of the screen. Later in the 70s and 80s, scholars began to assume that forming parasocial relationships was driven by loneliness. However, not-lonely people are just as likely to form a connection with that person on the screen. As fandoms(粉丝圈)became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, parasocial relationships became associated with youth and immaturity.
It’s true that adolescents particularly tend to develop intense parasocial relationships because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. Since the rise of social media, the phenomenon of parasocial relationships has been hugely amplified(放大). The traditional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan has no actual contact with a celebrity, is visibly changed by our new means of communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply.
When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness. People think they really have more of a relationship than they do. Online fandoms, especially large ones full of adolescents with strong emotions can generate bad behavior among adults. Behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be, thanks to social media, given the chance to spread. “There’s a sort of echo chamber effect(回声室效应)where people convince themselves, ‘everyone agrees with me and therefore we are all right in our approach,’” says Gayle Stever, the author of Parasocial Experiences.
Parasocial relationships are natural and not inherently (固有地)unhealthy. But as Stever says, “Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocialrel ationship.”
28. Which aspect of parasocial relationships does paragraph 2 talk about?
A. Their features. B. Their development.
C. Their forms. D. Their influence.
29. How has social media changed parasocial relationships?
A. Most online users are adolescents.
B. Fans can meet celebrities in person.
C. PSRs become more common among fans.
D. Fans can interact with celebrities online.
30. Why does Stever mention the echo chamber effect in her book?
A. To explain how behavior spreads in online fandoms.
B. To prove that fans are easily persuaded by others.
C. To illustrate the reasons why fans’ actions are right.
D. To stress the fact that Stever’s book is important.
31. What is the writer’s attitude towards parasocial relationships?
A. Approving. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Objective.
D
The human mind is a remarkable device. However, it is not without limits, which has to do with our brain’s executive (执行的) function.
Imagine that you are facing a very difficult decision about which of two job offers to accept. One position offers good pay but is pretty boring, while the other job is really interesting but the pay is not ideal. Clearly you can solve this problem in many ways. Few people, however, know that you might choose the wrong job because you resisted the urge to eat a piece of cake before considering the job offers.
Unrelated activities can exhaust (消耗) the executive function and disturb your ability to make an important decision. It’s long been recognized that challenging cognitive (认知的) tasks can make it harder to focus later on. But recent research suggests that these mental activities may be much broader. One study found that participants who made choices in a shop were more likely to delay preparing for an important test. Instead of studying, these “tired” minds engaged in other leisure activities.
Why is making a decision so tough? One theory suggests that when you switch from thinking about options to actually making a decision, this switch requires executive resources. Other studies show that making choices itself may be taxing. For example, in one study, the scientists show that people who had to rate the attractiveness of different options were much less worn out than those who had to actually make choices between the very same options.
These findings have important real-world significance. Our brain works like a muscle: when exhausted, it becomes less effective. Furthermore, we should take this knowledge into account when making decisions. If we’ve just spent lots of time focusing on a particular task, or even if we’ve just made lots of seemingly minor choices, then we probably shouldn’t try to make a major decision. These harmful effects from a tired brain may have a strong shaping effect on our lives.
32. According to the text, what may make you choose the wrong job?
A. Both jobs are equally appealing. B. You didn’t eat the cake.
C. There are too many solutions. D. Your brain is tired out.
33. What does the underlined word “taxing” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confusing. B. Tiring. C. Scaring. D. Disappointing.
34. What does the author suggest?
A. Train the brain like exercising muscles.
B. Spend less time on making small choices.
C. Make vital choices with a refreshed brain.
D. Avoid concentrating on a task for too long.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Tough Choices. B. Mental Function.
C. Facts of the Brain. D. Studies of Jobs.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As I turned into the parking lot at the high school the other day, I pulled my hoodie(连帽衫)over my face and lowered down in the driver’s seat so nobody on my tennis team would see me. They’ve been after me for weeks, and they’re like: “Hey, come on. We need you in the team.” They are such great peer pressure! They totally know I’m not ready yet because I hurt my wrist and now I have to learn to serve with my other hand. It could take years for a former leftie to develop a right-handed serve (发球)that’s good enough for competitive play. I slipped out of the car.
“Hey!” Oh no. Coach Johnson. My team leader. “Are you going to play in the match next week?” she shouted at me from the court where she was overseeing practice. I rushed past. “Hey, come back here! Are you even on this team?” That was so embarrassing. I was trying to ignore her because I just wasn’t ready. I needed more time to recover.
Just then, luckily, I saw Alex, my tennis role model and former doubles partner, standing up on the other side of the court. He would have to protect me. I walked toward him. Then the worst thing ever happened: Alex turned on me, too. “Hey, are you ever going to play again?” he said aloud.
“I don’t think I can do this,” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“I’m scared.”
“Of what?” he asked.
“Embarrassing myself,” I said.
“You don’t need a hard serve to win,” he said. “All you need to do is get the ball over the net every time it comes to you. The winner, in tennis and in life, is usually the one with fewer unforced errors.” he said.
His words impressed me. The unforced error is when you beat yourself and the worst error of all is when you don’t even try.
“I’m ready to play,” I whispered to myself.
