For Wang Lei, a 16-year-old student in Chengdu, starting a "Sunshine Running Club" at school was more than a hobby—it was a way to help disabled classmates find their confidence. Wang Lei was once a weak boy who failed every PE test. After reading a book about persistence, he realized everyone has hidden strength.

Besides physical training, Wang Lei also gave emotional support. He always listens carefully when a member feels upset. A school guard who often watched them said, "These kids are growing in confidence. Wang Lei's patience and warmth light up the corner."

If you have to describe your character when facing difficulties, what will you say? It can be difficult to keep going, but knowing how to persist, namely perseverance, can help you understand setbacks and make friendships closer.
Perseverance means having a good understanding of our own challenges, that is, having the ability to stick to our goals clearly. If you're perseverant, you may know that you keep practicing basketball because you love it, and sport makes you happy, or that you prefer reading on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you do well in and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and so on. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says perseverance is one of ten important life skills that help young people live happier, healthier lives. Being perseverant doesn't mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you will better understand other people too.
How do you learn to be perseverant? It's a good way to ask questions. But ask yourself questions that start with "What" instead of "Why". So if you don't understand why you keep failing a test, ask yourself what you can improve instead of why you're failing.
Learning to be more perseverant is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So be bold and try out new things, like joining a marathon or learning a different kind of skill. Don't be afraid to fail—discovering what you find difficult is a key part of learning more about yourself.
56. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. What perseverance is.
B. What true happiness is.
C. How to find true happiness.
D. How to develop self-awareness.
57. Why is perseverance important?
A. Because it'll make you think more of yourself.
B. Because it'll make you perform better at school.
C. Because it'll help you learn how to ask proper questions.
D. Because it'll help you have a better understanding of others.
58. What does the underlined word "bold" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Hard-working. B. Proud.
C. Brave. D. Patient.
59. What's one of the keys to becoming more perseverant?
A. Being in high spirits.
B. Discovering your weak points.
C. Having a taste for pleasant music.
D. Learning to get along well with others.
60. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Getting to know yourself
B. The Power of Never Giving Up
C. Thinking of yourself
D. Asking yourself questions

John, a British teacher at Nanjing Normal University (NNU), has practiced Chinese calligraphy for over 18 years. The seeds of his China journey were sown when he joined a program for East Asian Art at London University in 1997. Back then, brushes and ink were not easy to get. Learning Chinese writing meant copying model books and using rice paper. He would practice a single stroke for hours to understand its beauty. "In those days, it was a real challenge," he said.
In 2006, with a high score in the official Chinese language test, he won a scholarship for a summer program at Beijing Language and Culture University. After finishing the study program, John was offered a Nanjing-based job as an art researcher. In 2008, the year Beijing succeeded in hosting the Summer Olympic Games, he got married. In the next year, he started to teach art at NNU.
Life in Nanjing has been a wonderful adventure, especially as a witness to the great achievements China has made. It has offered him many chances for personal growth. Today, thanks to high-speed broadband and 5G, he can connect with students at NNU's partner universities in the UK, France or Mexico while riding on the Nanjing subway. "When you open your eyes to these great projects, it is impossible not to want to be part of them or at least support them somehow," he said.
Although he was busy on teaching days, John applied for a full-time scholarship at the China Academy of Art. In 2022, at 44, he got his Ph. D. in fine arts. "I am quite interested in seal carving, and I know that China is quickly becoming the leader in traditional art research. So, I always write my articles in this area," he said.
"There is always time to follow your dreams unless you decide to give up," he said. "Taking on seemingly impossible challenges and helping those around you are what makes life worth living."

Never Give Up
When we meet difficulties in life, we may want to give up. But the story of Helen Keller always inspires me. She was blind and deaf, but she never gave up learning. With her teacher's help, she achieved great success and wrote books to encourage others.
From her, I learned that where there is a will, there is a way. No matter how hard the situation is, we should keep trying instead of escaping.
In the future, when I face problems in study or life, I will tell myself not to give up. I plan to make a small step every day and ask teachers or friends for help. Never give up, and our dreams will come true!
