The pay wasn't great,but line judges didn't do it for the money.Rather,we did it purely for the love of tennis.You'd start at local events and slowly work your way up 39 being graded by the chief umpire().Finally,you might be considered 40 for Wimbledon--every tennis lover's dream.Some of my colleagues have told me that they won't be renewing their licences because they can no longer work at Wimbledon.I worry that smaller tournaments will soon have difficulty finding line judges. A human line judge brings something to the game 41 a computer just can't.We certainly keep some traditions alive.I think we''ve made the courts feel_42_.Spectators(现场观众)can leam a lot about the game by watching a discussion between a line judge and the umpire.All that will 43 I'm not saying we're perfect.We are human and we make mistakes.But we hold ourselves to 九年级英语第3页 a very high standard.Faimess is everything to us. 44 is sad to think that I won't be working at Wimbledon again.I'll always love tennis,but I don't think I could bear to go to Wimbledon now as a spectator.It just wouldn't feel the same.

He certainly had the ability to focus-when he got lost in a good book,for example,thinking felt 45.But when it came to some other tasks,thinking felt like pulling teeth. Westbrook managed to graduate in the end.Now he is a neuroscientist(抻经学家).Hisresearch is shaking up old ideas about why we 46 with certain tasks. For years,scientists thought that mentally tiring tasks like writing and solving math problems 47 more energy than easier ones like looking out the window.As a result,these harder tasks would make us run out of 48-and lose focus-more quickly. But the brain is a complex()machine.It's always doing heavy lifting.Even when you're just 49 a room,your brain is dealing with lots of information(from your eyes)and using lots of energy.But we don't think of such tasks as hard work,do we? 45. 46.47.48. 49 A.accept B.avoid C.limit D.worse E.care F.benefits According to Westbrook's studies,we often think certain tasks are harder than they really are."When you are thinking about doing a difficult task,it often feels much 50 than when you are actually doing it,"Westbrook says.But this early "mental hurdle( a碍)”can lead us to put off the task or even_5】_it altogether..f we can get over this hurdle,thinking will become easier,"he adds. Westbrook's team has found ways to help us do just that.For one,he suggests focusing on the 52 of completing the task rather than the effort it takes.We can also try to get into a mental state called "flow()."When people are in this state,they seem not to 53 how hard the task is. One key to entering"flow"is to reduce uncertainty.Before writing a book report,for example,you can set yourself a time 54.How much can you get done in 15 minutes? 九年级英语第4页 Finally,it can help to make these mentally tiring tasks a habit.Try doing them at the same time and place every day or week.After a few weeks,focusing on these tasks won't just feel easier-it will be easier. 50. 51.52. 53. 54.

This traditional craft continues today at a factory in Jinshan, Shanghai.There,silk carpets are being made by hand. Cheng Meihua,71,is the director of the factory.She was introduced to silk carpets when she was twenty years old.At that time,she had only two career choices:working in a machinery plant or a silk carpet factory.Without hesitation,she chose the latter because"carpets were much more beautiful than machines." Cheng turned out to be a talented silk weaver.The first silk carpet from her hands was 九年级英语第8页 considered perfect.Cheng has worked so hard over her career that she can hardly close the fingers of her left hand today.In 1980,she moved to Shanghai and helped to set up the Jinshan Silk Carpet Factory.Over the years,the factory has trained more than 1.000 skilled silk weavers. There are twelve major steps in making a silk carpet.Cheng took me on a tour of her factory to show me the process.In the first room,several spinning wheels were spinning yarn from silk fibers..The factory uses tussar silk(作蚕丝)rather than dupion silk(双宫丝).I was confused.“lsn't dupion silk better than tussar silk?"I asked."Yes,tussar silk isn't as shiny as dupion silk,"Cheng explained."But dupion silk is too soft for carpet making.Our factory has been researching tussar silk for more than thirty years." At first,,the factory produced only rectangular(长方形的)silk carpets.Now,its products come in a variety of shapes.Silk carpets often become family heirlooms )Cheng told me that the designs are very important.Her team has creatively applied the popular local art of Jinshan farmers' paintings to the carpets. We moved on.In the second room,a few workers were busy at the spinning wheels.Countless rolls of yarn lay on the floor.According to Cheng,a world-class silk carpet can have thousands of colors. In the factory's showroom,a few handmade silk carpets with beautiful designs were on display. “You know,behind these wonderful carpets are blood.sweat(汗水)and tears,”said Cheng. "I've spent my life perfecting the art of making silk carpets.It's like a never-ending adventure." Task 1:Answer the following question. 88.What first led Cheng to silk carpets? 89.How do tussar silk and dupion silk differ from each other? Dupion silk is and than tussar silk. 90.How have the products from Cheng's factory changed over time? 91.How might Cheng feel about her work at the factory,and why? 92.Read Cheng's words in the last paragraph.What does the phrase"blood,sweat and tears"suggest about the process of making silk carpets?
