根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Encouraging your high school student to do his/her best isn’t as hard as you may think. It does take time and effort, but it should become part of a daily routine that both you and your teen can enjoy more than dread （担忧）. Here are some tips that can help you.

1. 1 Know what classes he/she is taking, what your teen thinks of the teacher and/or ask if your teen feels he/she is learning anything. This is excellent dinner table conversation if you can keep it light and positive.

2. Set the expectations. 2 You would not do your teen any favors by not telling him/her what grades you will be expecting. Send a clear message to your teen about the grades you expect to see in each class. 3 Keep your expectations in line with what your teen feels he/she can do.

3. 4 While your teen will need to keep his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have a goal that he/she feels is important too. Learning to establish goals teaches independence, one of the things your teen needs to learn to become a successful adult.

4. Have what they need at home, or a way to get it. 5  Your family should have library cards and a way to access the Internet for homework. Without these things, your teen could be at a disadvantage. It is also a good idea to set up a mobile homework center.

Finally, don’t forget to praise your teen for a job well done.

A. Help him/her establish goals.

B. Talk to your teen about school.

C. Learning in a classroom is a two-way street.

D. Resources are important for high school students.

E. Teens need a clear map of what you want them to do.

F. Set a good example and show him/her your love of learning.

G. Set consequences for poor grades as well as rewards for good grades.

EVERYONE’S talking about it in American high schools. Whether they are hip-hop fans or just students or just students or teachers who listen to good music of any genre(类型), they all have one thing in common: an obsession with Hamilton, a hip-hop musical about the forgotten founding father of the United States on the $10 bill. What makes this musical so different from all the other ones？

“Everybody is so excited about it.” Mark Madama, associate professor of musical theater at the University of Michigan, said, “It is something for the students. Hip-hop music is what they listen to when they are walking down the street and all of a sudden, now that is also the music that is in musical theater.”

The full title of the show is Hamilton: An American Musical, and it tells the stories of Alexander Hamilton’s life: from a homeless orphan to Washington’s right hand man(得力助手), from an unknown to war hero. The idea of a Broadway musical about a founding father with hip-hop music has gotten enough attention on its own.

One of the most amazing details of this phenomenon is that most of the students have never even seen it. Nazareth High School junior Maddy Schierl has never seen the show live but said she still relates to it deeply. “There is so much emotion in the music that I feel like I have experienced the show’s essence(本质)without even having to see it,” Schierl said.

Students and teachers are finding other ways to fall in love with Hamilton, whether they do it through listening to its music, watching short videos on YouTube or even studying it in the classroom. Katja Stonebraker, who teaches AP US history at Cary-Grove High School, described the musical as “ a teacher’s dream”, Stonebraker plans to use Hamilton more in the future because of the interesting perspective it tells Hamilton’s story from.

“ You see these old dead guys, and they are who you have to memorize and learn,” Stonebraker said,-But I think Hamilton makes history real and relatable.”

1.The underlined word “obsession” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. strong enthusiasm　 　　 B. great respect

C. lack of interest　　　　 D. total surprise

2.Hamilton is a musical that appeals to students because______.

A. its story is closely related to students’ lives today

B. it uses hip-hop, which is very popular among students

C. it has been specially designed to satisfy students’ tastes

D. it tells interesting stories from the life of a founding father of the US

3.The example of Maddy Schierl is used to ______.

A. prove that Hamilton is very popular among students

B give an example of people’s comments about Hamilton

C. explore the controversies behind Hamilton’s popularity

D. show that people can connect to Hamilton without seeing it

4.Which of the following statements would Stonebraker probably agree with?

A. Hamilton tells Hamilton’s story vividly and from a different viewpoint.

B. Hamilton is the best teaching material she has ever used

C. Every student will become more interested in history after seeing Hamilton.

D. There will be more musicals about historical figures in the future.

When us teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life.

These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.

It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory— repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.

Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was an infant　 and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation .

“If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said.

It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.

Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, there’s a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”

1.We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ______.

A. was born a blind child

B. could have been a golf master

C. has great muscle memory

D. is trying to find the cure for his disease

2.According to the article, Jake’s family members ______.

A. pity him deeply

B. once gave up hope on him

C. encouraged him to write the book

D. admire his efforts and determination

3.The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life is to ______.

A. promote good approaches to getting along with disabled people

B. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities

C. help people come up with better life goals

D. explain different definitions of “a happier life”

4.The underlined word “setback” is closest in meaning to ______.

A. fight         　　      B. failure            C. opportunity         D. success
