Fifth-grader Kayla Martel loves basketball. But her school doesn’t have a girls’ team. So for the past four years, Kayla has played on the boys’ team at St. John the Apostle School in Clark, New Jersey. That hadn’t been a problem until earlier this year. The team was told that it either had to ask Kayla and another girl to leave the team or end its season early.

The team, called the Chargers, plays in a league (联赛) that didn’t allow mixed teams after fourth grade. When the league leader found out that there were girls in the team, he gave the coaches (教练) bad news. The team could keep playing but only without the girls.

Keisha Martel, Kayla’s mom, is one of the Chargers’ coaches. She asked the team to take a vote (投票), knowing it would be difficult for the kids to choose.

“They all said, ‘It doesn’t matter. We’re a team and we’re sticking together (团结一致),’” said Keisha.

The Chargers wasn’t allowed to play for a few weeks, but then the league reversed its decision. The team, girls included, played the rest of the season. They even made it to the championship (锦标赛) game — and won!

Kayla has some advice for other teams. “Make sure you are family — you have each other’s back,” she says.

1.How many girls played for the Chargers?

A. Two.　　 B. Three.　　 C. Four.　　 D. Five.

2.What was the bad news the Chargers’ coaches got?

A. Some of them had to leave their jobs.

B. The team had to keep playing without the girls.

C. The team couldn’t play in the league anymore.

D. There would be no basketball team at the school.

3.What does Kayla’s mom do?

A. She is the league leader.

B. She is a basketball coach.

C. She is a teacher at Kayla’s school.

D. She is the headmaster of Kayla’s school.

4.The underlined word “reversed” is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. forgot　　 B. supported　　 C. changed　　 D. made

5.What’s Kayla’s advice for other teams?

A. They should practice more.

B. Team members should support each other.

C. They should not be afraid of making mistakes.

D. Team members and coaches should trust each other.

For 13-year-old Brooke Martin, seeing her golden dog Kayla has become much easier, even when she’s not at home. Martin made a kind of machine—iCPooch. It allows pet owners to video chat with their pets and sends food from other places.2-1-c-n-j-y

When a dog owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone, he or she can connect to the iCPooch machine at home and start talking. The owner's image(影像) and voice will be on the screen. When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box.

How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. That led her to think about helping her pet Kayla. Kayla always looked sad when she was left alone at home.“I wanted to know how you could talk to your dog if you were not at home. And what if you were able to give them a treat while you were away?” Martin explained her idea.

Now Martin and her family have set up a company. They’ve had investments (投资) from businessmen and asked a factory to make the product. They expected to sell 8,000 products by the end of 2015.

Martin is satisfied(满意的) with her success. “A year ago, I never thought that I would be able to start a business, or even having an idea for a business,” she said. “I’ve learned that we are supposed to hold on to your dreams.”

1. What color is Brooke Martin’s dog?

A. It’s white.　　 B. It’s yellow.

C. It’s golden.　　 D. It’s black.

2.The right order of iCPooch is _____.

a. The owner's image and voice will be on the screen.

b. The owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app

c. The owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone

d. The iCPooch will give the dog some food

A. c, b, a, d　 B. b, c, a, d

C. c, a, b, d　 D. d, c, a, b

3.Kayla felt _______ when she was left alone at home.

4.From the passage, we know ________.

A. the iCPooch is a kind of phone

B. Martin set up her company in 2012
