When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.
Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.
In the first two years I

Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity.A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle.
The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.
The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead.
“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed,” said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project. “The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry,” he said.
“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances, ”Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. “This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling, ”she said.
In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.
Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.
The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.
4. The intelligent bicycle is aimed to ________.
A.protect the environment |
B.help reduce traffic pressure |
C.popularize the use of bicycles |
D.improve safety for elderly cyclists |
A.The handlebars. |
B.The wheels. |
C.The saddle. |
D.The onboard computer. |
A.the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go |
B.the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high |
C.the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing |
D.the elderly are planning to give up cycling |
A.A Test Bicycle |
B.Elderly Cyclists |
C.A Smart Bicycle |
D.A Bicycle-mad Country |
You can love them or hate them,but no matter which tourist destination you visit,chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands,publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages.The popular brand also produces television shows,websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable.They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.
They also provide the reviews of hostels (招待所),hotels,restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
This can be great if you're a nervous traveler,or if you haven't traveled by yourself before.If you're in a country where you don't speak the language,sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook.You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean,with friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them.They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling,and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen.They also regret that if you follow a guidebook,you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else.You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over,because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities.For example,some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists.They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle,wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.
8. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that ________.A.you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook |
B.you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city |
C.it provides lots of useful information about your destination |
D.it can help you save time and money when traveling |
A.it is not as useful as most travelers expect |
B.tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route |
C.travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures |
D.local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence |
A.It's a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers. |
B.It's very useful to a person who's nervous about touring an unfamiliar place. |
C.It's very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat other's experiences. |
D.It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers. |
A. | B. |
C. | D. |

In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation.Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions.True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful.We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society.Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept.In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself.It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.

D.our emotional experiences |

B.They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war. |
C.They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid. |
