Many teenagers like to play video games, but 16-year-old Jin Ce put his mind into a world of numbers — Sudoku in 2013.
On Oct 15, the Senior 1 student from Xuejun High School in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province won the top prize at the World Sudoku Championship(锦标赛). It was held in Beijing. More than 270 players from 35 centuries took part in the game. Jin took the championship for Team China. This was the second time Jin had joined in a world championship. Last time, he placed 10th in Croatia in 2012.
Many kids grow up with a love for video games, and Jin was also the same at first. Years ago, when he was in primary school, he became angry with other online players in one game because of their different ideas. “Why not try Sudoku?” suggested his father, Jin Guoqing. At that time, Jin Guoqing showed his son a nine-by-nine grid(格子)in a magazine. He thought it fun to fill the boxes simply with numbers 1 to 9. Since then, he has loved Sudoku.
Math was Jin’s strongest subject and he was interested in numbers. So, the number-based Sudoku quickly became the quiet boy’s favorite hobby. For Jin, Sudoku is a sport for his brain. “I enjoy playing sport and I’m also happy when I do brain exercises,” he said.
When Jin was a high school student, he felt upset about his science. “I have no idea whether Sudoku improves my performance in science or whether my love for science helps me win the Sudoku puzzles. I guess, maybe, it’s a little of both,” he said.
29. How many times did Jin Ce take part in the World Sudoku Championship?A.One. | B.Two. | C.Three. | D.Four. |

C.A game with numbers can stop children from playing video games. |
D.Parents should let children play some interesting games. |
Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico. How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies find their way back to the same place? Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代)makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.
33. The best title of the passage can be ________.A.Family of Monarch butterflies | B.Mystery of Monarch butterflies |
C.Monarch butterflies’ birthplace | D.Monarch butterflies’ winter home |
A.first | B.second | C.third | D.fourth |
A.seasons | B.butterflies | C.children | D.parents |
A.Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada. |
B.The four generations have the same length of life. |
C.Some generations die on the way north of Canada. |
D.Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies. |
Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力)is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.
Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖)on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one(and then they could eat both).
So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower—they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow. But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.
Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
So, if you do daily "self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.
Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.
That way, you’ll build up your willpower again.
And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!
