Getting good at a sport is difficult enough. Mastering one and then reinventing yourself after moving halfway across the world is another story, but Abigail Fernandes is doing just that. The 17-year-old student was a good shooter while studying in Britain. But when she moved back to Hong Kong, China, life suddenly felt a little empty without the eight hours a week of shooting training she’d become used to.
“I decided to go for a sport that might help me get fitter and allow me to protect myself in the future,” she explains. With its high intensity exercise, and chances to build strength, boxing fit the bill perfectly.
“Boxing teaches you patience, but best of all, a hunger to learn,” she said. “The values and lessons the sport teaches you can all be used in both your day-to-day life and education.”
Now, she has been boxing for just a little more than three years and loves the challenges that this sport offers. She trains 10 hours a week with her coach Jim, who has helped her to grow as an athlete (运动员) and a person.
Though she has made great progress, she thinks being able to deal with hits in the ring is her biggest challenge. “When you get hit in the ring, it’s so easy to burst into tears and give up, but this gets you nowhere,” she says. “I want to be able to take hits and accept them. These are skills that can only be learned through countless sessions of sparring (轻拳出击). The first time I sparred I cried, so I’m proud of myself for never turning down a sparring session,” she says.
Abigail says that though her training is pretty boring, she’ll keep practicing as she looks for a competition where she can put her skills to the test. “I have a long way to go,” she says, “but I want to learn everything this sport has to offer!”
1.When did Abigail start boxing?
A.When she studied in Britain. B.Before she became a shooter.
C.After she came back to China. D.While she traveled half the world.
2.Why did Abigail decide to box?
A.To protect her family. B.To prove her athletic ability.
C.To earn a living in the future. D.To make her healthy and strong.
3.What is Abigail’s opinion on boxing?
A.It is too dangerous. B.It is a waste of time.
C.It changes her values. D.It helps her in many ways.

One in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.
WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
DO something relaxing before going to bed.
EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.
AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.
DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.
1.According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a few nights, you could be _____.
A. lonely B. serious
C. forgetful D. depressed
2.The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _____.
A. eat vegetables and exercise regularly B. make up for lost sleep on weekends

A. waking up late one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night
B. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleep
C. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have no sleep problems
D. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.
B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
C. Your eating habits will be broken because of lack of sleep.

One of the things that I have learned during my time here is that Czech people are really good at celebrating and holding parties. Since I graduated this year, I have a lot of experience of seeing this first-hand. The greatest event for us was definitely the prom (毕业舞会) held for graduating students. Girls started arranging their gowns (礼服) a year beforehand. Graduating students also needed to give their “Midnight Surprise” (a group performance). One interesting thing was that students from every class were holding a huge colorful bag and people had to throw money into it. I didn’t get any sleep that night because we all went to an after-party with our teachers and friends.
At the end of April, we held the traditional activity called “The Last Ringing”, which lasted for two days. Every class had a theme and graduates wore different costumes. We prepared tasty desserts and food to sell. We broke into one classroom after another asking students to give us money, which might seem insane but it is part of the tradition.
By the end of May, we had already finished all of the final exams and we started preparing for the graduation ceremony. It was held in the conference hall (会场) in our school at five o’clock in the afternoon. Parents could come, too. We got our graduation certificate in a gray folder (文件夹) from our class teacher, and we also shook hands with the headmaster. When I received my certificate, I almost teared up-I didn’t want to say goodbye to them or to the school.
That wasn’t the last celebration though. After four days, our class invited all of our teachers to come to a farewell dinner at an Italian restaurant. We used all of the money we collected from the prom and “The Last Ringing” to order pizzas and champagne. We all talked and ate together.
A year ago, we were all complaining and hoping that high school would end. But I felt sad when the time finally came and it was over. We have officially left our school. I keep telling myself that everything has an ending. This journey was amazing. Although it has come to an end, I will always keep the memories I made close to my heart. I won’t ever forget them.
1.What did the author find interesting about the Czech prom?
A.Boys and girls exchanged gifts.
B.Students were required to make gowns by themselves.
C.Students had to bring homemade food.
D.Students used a colorful bag to collect money.
2.What does the underlined word “insane” mean?
A.Reasonable. B.Crazy.
C.Unusual. D.Wonderful.
3.Which would the author probably agree with?
A.She is determined to apply to a Czech university.
B.She should have worked harder at school.
C.She values the wonderful memories from high school.
D.She prefers the farewell party over the “The Last Ringing”.

Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not.1.
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets(头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you're playing football, baseball，softball，biking，skateboarding，and so on.
Warm up.
2. Doing some stretching(伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them—at least most of the time.3.When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can't come from behind, crash into a player's legs, and steal the ball. It's legal—and safer—to go after the ball rather than the player.
4.
Some rules don't have anything to do with scoring points. Some rules are just about protecting other people. For example，a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.
5.
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you're hurt is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury.
A．Watch out for others.
B．Don't do too much exercise.
C．It's the same way with sports.
D．Don't play when you're injured.
E．It's not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.
F．You and the other players know what to expect from each other.
G．Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.
