An Unforgettable Illustration

One day, Mr. Brown, an expert (专家) in time management, was speaking to a group of students. To drive home a point, he used an illustration (示例) the students would never forget.

First, he pulled out a jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about ten egg-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?

Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He then dumped some gravel (碎石) in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”

By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” He replied. Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. He asked the same question, “Is this jar full?”

“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he brought some water and began to pour (倒出) it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One student raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your timetable is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”

“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the big rocks in your life? Time with your loved ones, your study your dreams, teaching or helping others. Remember to put these important things in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”

26、   When people think about the victory of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the 2019 World Cup, the name that first comes to our mind is probably Lang Ping, 59, one of China's greatest sports stars and coaches. She plays so fiercely that people call her “Iron Hammer (铁榔头)”. Next year we will see a new film about her amazing story.

Born in Tianjin, Lang started playing volleyball for a local training team when she was in middle school. She trained especially hard. In 1978, she joined the national team.

At the 1981 World Cup in Japan, the Chinese women's team showed the world their speed and power for the first time. Playing outside hitter (攻手), Lang helped the team win the game. Later, the team got another World Cup, two world championships and even a gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles!

After 8 years of hard training and fighting, Lang finished her career as a volleyball player in 1986. But she never said goodbye to her favorite sport. In 1995, Lang became the head coach of the Chinese national team and led China to silver medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 1998 World Championships in Japan.

In 2013, she returned to the young national team after working abroad as a coach for 14 years. The team finally came back to the top at the 2015 World Cup. The next year, at the Rio Olympics, things didn't go well in the very beginning. However, her team took home the gold medal at last, making her the first person to win an Olympic gold for volleyball both as a player and a coach. Lang once sard, "Sometimes the chance is slim, but you still have to pull out all the stops"

At that time, Lang got less than four hours' sleep a night. She spent her time thinking about how to beat the team's rivals (对手) and get the players to do their best. Her words and behaviors influenced younger players. Zhu Timg, the outside hitter, for example, went on fighting against Korea even when her leg was badly hurt.

“The spirit of Chinese women's volleyball team is to never give up. My duty as the coach is to guide this young team to carry on this spirit," said Lang. The players always work together and fight until the end in each game, no matter how difficult it is. The spirit is about more than sport. It also encourages people across the country to make China stronger.

【1】What order is the article written in?

A．Time order.

B．Space order.

C．From general to specific.

D．From specific to general.

【2】What does Lang mean by saying "Sometimes the chance is slim, but you still have to pull out all the stops"?

A．Sometimes volleyball player should keep slim to win the game.

B．Sometimes you may not win, but you need to try your best all the same.

C．Sometimes you may have to stop and wait for a chance to win the game.

D．Sometimes volleyball players should get less sleep to think about a way out.

【3】Why does the writer mention Zhu Ting in Paragraph 6?

A．To tell us that Zhu Ting never gives up easily.

B．To tell us that Zhu Ting is the best outside hitter in the team.

C．To show that Lang Ping sets a good example for younger players.

D．To show that younger players always do their best to win the game.

27、Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at a high school in Memphis, became the target of taunts and laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother was simply not able to buy him new clothes.

Two of the kids were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their hurtful words felt like bullying（霸凌）and seemed to be slowly breaking Todd’s spirit.

“I felt like I needed to do something”, Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett made a plan. They went home and hunted through their own rooms. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was surely afraid about being called out by the larger boys.

“He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,” I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.’

Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WANT-TV, Shocked（衣橱）. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now, he eats with his new friends.

“I’ve been bullied my whole life,” Todd told CBS News. He called the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall the best day of his whole life.

【1】What does the underlined word “taunts” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Tears.

B．Unkind words.

C．Interesting stories.

D．Joy.

【2】Why was Todd afraid when called out by Garrett and Graham?

A．Because Garrett and Graham were larger boys.

B．Because Todd’s spirit was destroyed.

C．Because Garrett and Graham may bully him again.

D．Because Todd’s mother couldn’t afford his new clothes.

【3】According to the passage, what do you think truly made Todd feel happy?

A．A new wardrobe.

B．A brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.

C．The kindness from Garrett and Graham.

D．Clean shirts and shorts.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Stop Bullying.

B．The Story of Best Friends.

C．A New Wardrobe.

D．The Best Day Ever.

28、   What’s the coolest transportation for middle school students back from the winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No. It’s a s【1】 kind of shoes. It is called Heelys(暴走鞋). Heelys look just like c【2】 sports shoes, but they have a wheel in the heel(鞋跟). So instead of w【3】, kids can “fly” around in them. “Wearing Heelys is fun and cool,” said Wu Peng, a boy w【4】 wore them on his first day back from school. Wu Peng said he loved the shoes so much that he wore them w【5】 he went. Sometimes he even f【6】 his parents’ car to the supermarket in his Heelys!

Other students think these are very cool, but some haven’t been so l【7】 with their Heelys. It’s reported that some c【8】 have fallen down while using these shoes, and some have been hurt.

“Heelys wheels are on the heels of the shoes, so it’s e【9】 to fall,” said Liu Rui, a doctor at the Hong Kong International Hospital. Even w【10】, Liu said, “Wearing Heelys for a long time could stop young people from d【11】 their ankles(脚踝)and legs. Parents had better not buy this kind of shoes for the children because it is harmful to their h【12】.”
