25、A secret to win

Once a 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo (柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese sensei, a judo teacher. Three months later, he was still practising with the same move. So he asked, “Sensei, shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

The boy kept training. Months later, the sensei took him to his first match.

Surprisingly, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient. The boy used his one move to win the match and now was in the final.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed to lose the game. Being worried that the boy might get hurt, the referee (裁判) called a break. Just before the referee wanted to end the match, the sensei came to him.

“No,” the sensei said, “let him go on.” Soon after the match began, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard (防守). Suddenly, the boy won the match.

On the way home, the boy and the sensei talked about every move in each match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask, “Sensei, how did I win the match with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve learned one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known guard for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

【1】How many opponents did the boy face in the story?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four.   D. Five.

【2】Why did the boy’s last opponent lose the game?

A. Because he failed to protect himself in time.

B. Because he was not strong and experienced enough.

C. Because the referee ended the match.

D. Because he was afraid to hurt the boy.

【3】The boy could win all the matches mainly because ______.

A. his opponents made more mistakes than he did

B. his opponents were more impatient than he was

C. the boy was better at guard than his opponents were

D. the boy’s biggest weakness became his biggest strength

【4】From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. disabled people are the best ones in learning judo

B. one can win achievements by keeping practising

C. it is important to find a good referee to win a match

D. it is useless to learn too much knowledge and skills

27、Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s air from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb(吸收) some of the CO2 in the air. CO2 is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in the Earth’s air, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing CO2 as thought.

The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped(打气) extra CO2 into a test area where green trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients(营养素), such as nitrogen(氮).

In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil(泥土) around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was let into the air as CO2.

The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited(有限的) value in planting trees to reduce the CO2 pollution in the air.

Forest planting has been a part of negotiations(谈判) on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists(积极分子) had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates(估计) on the ability of forests to absorb CO2 were overly hopeful.

Some other scientists say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react(反应) to CO2. Some other scientists say the research disputes(质疑) a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that more CO2 in the air will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.

【1】Why did the researchers put trees in extra CO2 in the first study?

A. To learn whether trees can still absorb CO2 under extreme conditions.

B. To get more oxygen from these trees.

C. To know how much CO2 that trees can absorb.

D. To see the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of these trees.

【2】What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study?

A. They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.

B. They broke down and the carbon had mainly turned into CO2.

C. They broke down and the carbon was mainly absorbed in the soil.

D. They absorbed more CO2.

【3】Scientist Ram Oren thinks that common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb CO2 are __________.

A. just right B. not acceptable

C. a bit too cheerful  D. too dangerous

How often do you let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wise reply to the actions is how ______ you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this ________ at the back of a taxi in New York.

We were driving fast in the right lane (车道)when suddenly, a black car jumped _____ a parking space right to front of us. My taxi driver stepped on the brake(刹车)as hard as possible, and at the________moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.

He said, “Like garbage trucks, many people run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of regret. ______their garbage increases more and more, they look for a place to pour it. If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be______.”

I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and______it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad mood people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on。
