阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) title.
Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage.
In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries—to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.
He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset that helps me mature mentally now.” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn’t going well The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”
1. What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Lost weight. B. Discovered talent. C. Became famous. D. Felt uncertain.
2. Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years
A. Because he feared possible failures. B. Because he refused fierce competitions.
C. Because he wanted to change his carcer. D. Because he suffered from serious physical injuries.
3. What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement
A. No cross, no crown. B. Well begun is half done.
C. Easy come, easy go. D. Time waits for no man.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Development of Chinese Tennis. B. The Power of Difficulties for Athletes.
C. The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport. D. The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title.
B
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
5 What is the passage mainly about
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
6. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Only a few vloggers can be famous and wealthy.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain dreams.
8. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Combine jobs with hobbies.
C
People are looking to make meaning after the global pandemic. And one way that some of us do this is to credit coincidences—the unexpected concurrence (同时发生) of events—with helping to find jobs, friends and spouses, make significant career decisions and relieve pains. Scholars disagree on the cause of coincidences. Some say they are random and due to probability. Others see God or spiritual forces at work. Still others say it’s our subconscious making connections. No matter the cause, people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us, especially in times of stress.
Studies show that noticing coincidences may help boost both the effectiveness of psychotherapy and mental well-being. Michael Schauch, 42, an investment-portfolio manager in Squamish, British Columbia, who is an avid mountaineer, lost his best friend Brent last year. A few months later, Mr. Schauch climbed a mountain he and Brent often scaled together. At the summit, Mr. Schauch found hundreds of ladybugs. When he climbed a different mountain on the anniversary of Brent’s death, he saw a ladybug as he started up each new section of the rock face. “I knew at once that it was Brent, and that he was still there with me, as if to say: ‘You’ve got this, Mike. Keep going!’” he says.
Coincidences can make the world feel like it makes good sense, says David B. Yaden, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School. Varieties of spiritual experiences show a correlation (关联) between coincidences and an increase in positive emotions，better personal relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.
Coincidences are more likely to happen to certain people. “People who are troubled by distress and searching for signs are more likely to experience coincidences,” says Bemard Beitman, a psychiatrist and a coincidence researcher. If you’d like to enhance your ability to notice coincidences, there are several strategies, says Lisa Miller, a clinical psychologist: Be open to them. Write them down. Talk about them with others. “We really need this deep inner wisdom.” she says.
9. What can we learn about coincidences from paragraph 1
A. They happen as expected. B. They provide guidance or relief.
C. They activate subconscious mind. D. They contribute to invisible forces.
10. Why does the author mention Michael Schalch’s story
A. To clarify the cause of coincidences.
B. To offer a method of coping with grief.
C. To show the comforting effect of coincidences.
D. To present a solid friendship between two climbers.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Lucky people tend to be surprised by coincidences.
B. Wisdom is to the soul what mental health is to the body.
C. Coincidences mean more to our daily lives than the surface.
D. The more we cultivate coincidences, the more likely they happen.
12. What is the passage mainly about
A. The meaningful moments in life. B. The hidden power of coincidences.
C. The various opinions on coincidences. D. The strategies for noticing coincidences.

Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again.
He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.””
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了吴易昺夺得了 ATP 巡回赛冠军，创中国网球新历史。
【1题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage”可知，在2017 年，18岁的吴易昺赢得了美国男子公开赛冠军，成为了首位赢得重要青少年锦标赛冠军的中国人，这使得人们对这位“神奇男孩”寄予厚望，希望他能在这项长期由女性主导的职业运动中改变中国男网的命运。说明他在美国男子公开赛中一举成名，故划线词表示“一举成名”。故选C。
【2题详解】

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
5. What is the passage mainly about
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
6. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Only a few vloggers can be famous and wealthy.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D Dreams will always remain dreams.
8. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Combine jobs with hobbies.
【答案】5. B 6. C 7. A 8. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变进行了分析和介绍。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“But today, things stand differently.(但是现在，事情不同了)”和第三段第一句“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media.(这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体的结果)”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择。全文围绕这个主题展开。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.(他们使接触世界上的观众容易许多，不用非要用传统的方式进入表演行业)”可知，they是指the Internet and social media(网络和社交媒体)。由此可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络使进入表演行业更加方便。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line.(对于每一个成功者来说，都有另外数百个人从来没有离开过起跑线)”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率只有数百分之一。由此可知，只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富。故选A。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.(尽管成为视频博主很流行，但是一些年轻人选择那些不一定能给他们带来名声，但是能让他们利用网络来分享他们的爱好的职业)”和“for example”可知，David就是选择将职业和爱好相结合的职业的例子。故选D。
C
People are looking to make meaning after the global pandemic. And one way that some of us do this is to credit coincidences—the unexpected concurrence (同时发生) of events—with helping to find jobs, friends and spouses, make significant career decisions and relieve pains. Scholars disagree on the cause of coincidences. Some say they are random and due to probability. Others see God or spiritual forces at work. Still others say it’s our subconscious making connections. No matter the cause, people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us, especially in times of stress.
Studies show that noticing coincidences may help boost both the effectiveness of psychotherapy and mental well-being. Michael Schauch, 42, an investment-portfolio manager in Squamish, British Columbia, who is an avid mountaineer, lost his best friend Brent last year. A few months later, Mr. Schauch climbed a mountain he and Brent often scaled together. At the summit, Mr. Schauch found hundreds of ladybugs. When he climbed a different mountain on the anniversary of Brent’s death, he saw a ladybug as he started up each new section of the rock face. “I knew at once that it was Brent, and that he was still there with me, as if to say: ‘You’ve got this, Mike. Keep going!’” he says.
Coincidences can make the world feel like it makes good sense, says David B. Yaden, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School. Varieties of spiritual experiences show a correlation (关联) between coincidences and an increase in positive emotions，better personal relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.
Coincidences are more likely to happen to certain people. “People who are troubled by distress and searching for signs are more likely to experience coincidences,” says Bemard Beitman, a psychiatrist and a coincidence researcher. If you’d like to enhance your ability to notice coincidences, there are several strategies, says Lisa Miller, a clinical psychologist: Be open to them. Write them down. Talk about them with others. “We really need this deep inner wisdom.” she says.
9. What can we learn about coincidences from paragraph 1
A. They happen as expected. B. They provide guidance or relief.
C. They activate subconscious mind. D. They contribute to invisible forces.
10. Why does the author mention Michael Schalch’s story
A. To clarify the cause of coincidences.
B. To offer a method of coping with grief.
C. To show the comforting effect of coincidences.
D. To present a solid friendship between two climbers.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Lucky people tend to be surprised by coincidences.
B. Wisdom is to the soul what mental health is to the body.
C. Coincidences mean more to our daily lives than the surface.
D. The more we cultivate coincidences, the more likely they happen.
12. What is the passage mainly about
A. The meaningful moments in life. B. The hidden power of coincidences.
C. The various opinions on coincidences. D. The strategies for noticing coincidences.
【答案】9. B 10. C 11. D 12. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了“巧合”这一心理学概念，一起研究认为其对人们和世界起到的巨大作用。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“No matter the cause, people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us, especially in times of stress. (不管是什么原因，研究巧合的人都说，关注这些时刻可能会帮助我们，特别是在压力时期。)”可知，关注这些巧合的事情，可能对人们有所帮助，尤其当人们面临压力的时候，可推测这些巧合可能给人们提供指导或者宽慰。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“When he climbed a different mountain on the anniversary of Brent’s death, he saw a ladybug as he started up each new section of the rock face. “I knew at once that it was Brent, and that he was still there with me, as if to say: ‘You’ve got this, Mike. Keep going!’” he says. (当他在布伦特忌日爬上一座不同的山时，每开启一块新的岩石表面，他都看到一只瓢虫。他说：“我一下子就知道是布伦特，他还在那里陪着我，好像在说：‘你有这个，迈克。继续！’”。)”可知，爬山时看到和朋友布伦特之前一起看到过的瓢虫，麦可尔·沙尔奇觉得自己的朋友一直没有离开，还陪在自己身边，这缓解了他的悲伤情绪，因此可推测本文介绍他的故事，是为了呈现这种巧合带来的宽慰人的作用。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句““People who are troubled by distress and searching for signs are more likely to experience coincidences,” says Bemard Beitman, a psychiatrist and a coincidence researcher. (精神病学家和巧合研究者贝玛德·拜特曼说：“那些被痛苦困扰并寻找痛苦征兆的人更有可能经历巧合。”)”可知，专家举例表明，痛苦的人越想找到痛苦的征兆，他就越有可能体验这种巧合，即经历类似的痛苦，故从最后一段可以推测出的是人们越是去培养巧合，这种巧合越可能出现。故选D项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“No matter the cause, people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us, especially in times of stress. (不管是什么原因，研究巧合的人都说，关注这些时刻可能会帮助我们，特别是在压力时期。)”；第二段第一句“Studies show that noticing coincidences may help boost both the effectiveness of psychotherapy and mental well-being. (研究表明，注意巧合可能有助于提高心理治疗的有效性和心理健康。)”以及第三段第一句“Coincidences can make the world feel like it makes good sense, says David B. Yaden, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School. (约翰·霍普金斯大学学院助理教授大卫·B·亚登说，巧合会让世界觉得这很有意义。)”可知，本文各段主要讲述了“巧合”对人们和世界的作用，即“巧合”隐藏着巨大的力量。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些培养耐心的方法。
【13题详解】
上文“Packages must be delivered within 24 hours and meals at a restaurant need to arrive within 30 minutes. ”（包裹必须24小时之内送达，外卖则30分钟内到达。）说明我们变得越来越急躁，没有耐心。与E项“Many people have grown more and more impatient as a result.”（结果许多人变得越来也没有耐心。）构成因果关系，也能引出下文培养耐心的方法，符合语境。故选E项。
【14题详解】
下文“By doing these small things, you’ll develop your patience.”（通过做这些小事，你将培养出耐心。）说明本段主要说明通过做一些小事来培养耐心。与F项“Becoming more patient is a long journey and start it with small steps.”（变得更有耐心是一个漫长的过程，要从小事做起。）句意契合，故F项可以放在段首作为本段主旨句。故选F项。
【15题详解】
上文“Knowing your triggers(诱因)will help you take better charge of a situation the next time you find yourself impatient.”（知道你的触发因素会帮助你在下次发现自己不耐烦的时候掌控局面。）说明要了解哪些因素会使自己不耐烦，结合下文的例子“maybe you grow impatient when you see a long line at your favorite coffee shop.”（当看到你最喜欢的咖啡店排起了长队时，你可能会不耐烦。）说明了一种使自己不耐烦的具体情形，故D项“Identify the things, places or people that make you impatient.”（确定那些会使你不耐烦的事情，地方和人）符合上下文的句意衔接。故选D项。
【16题详解】
上文“For example, wait for your coffee to brew (冲泡) on a weekend morning.”（比如在一个周末的早晨等待你的咖啡冲泡好。）举例说明了一种不急躁，有耐心的情形，与C项“Enjoy such process occasionally rather than rush to do it.”（偶尔享受这样的过程，而不是匆忙地做它。）中“such process”形成照应。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“If you are stuck in a traffic jam,there’s little you can do to get out of it.”（如果你遇到了交通堵塞，几乎没有办法摆脱它。）说明了一种令人沮丧又无能为力的情形，G项“Instead of getting frustrated, accept your situation and make the best of it.”（与其沮丧，不如接受现状，并充分利用它）说明的是遇到这种情形的应对方法，符合语境。故选G项。

【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：他想逗那个哭闹的孩子开心，但没有奏效。A. do the trick奏效，达到预期效果；B. play a trick玩恶作剧，捉弄；C. do a trick表演一个把戏；D. play the trick无该表达。根据“tried to entertain the crying child”和“but”可知，此处有转折，应该是想逗那个哭闹的孩子开心，但没有奏效。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了20世纪英国最伟大的喜剧演员之一——Kenneth Williams——对艺术近乎苛刻的追求。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意：Kenneth Williams被认为是20世纪英国最伟大的喜剧演员之一。分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语，主语Kenneth Williams为单数，与consider之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，且谓语应用单数。根据句意，这里陈述的是客观事实，所以使用一般现在时。故填is considered。
【44题详解】
考查数词。句意参考上题。根据空后的century，这里表示20世纪，应用数词twenty的序数词形式twentieth。故填twentieth。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Williams经常花几个星期的时间来决定一个角色应该如何发出声音，而这种“声音”决定了他对待每个角色的方式。spend time (in) doing sth.意为“花……时间做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填deciding。
【46题详解】
考查连词。句意：但即使在他选择了自己的“声音”之后，他并不总是坚持自己的声音。前文“Williams would often spend weeks ____3____(decide) how a character should sound”说他会花费很长时间确定角色的声音，本句说即使他选好声音，他也没有一直用，前后句之间为转折关系，并且空后没有逗号，所以用连词but。故填But。
【47题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：在一场演出中，他有时会改变他说话的语调或语速，以达到更好的喜剧效果。根据“change the tone or speed of his speech”和句意可知，他改变音调或者语速是为了达到更好的喜剧效果，所以空处应使用形容词比较级greater。故填greater。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意：当他还是一个初学者时，他觉得应该给他在舞台上被给予随心所欲的自由，而且经常无视导演的指示。根据空前的a可知，这里应用名词单数，且这里表示当他还是一个初学者时，所以应用beginner(初学者)，为可数名词。故填beginner。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这使一些导演非常恼火，他们拒绝与他合作。refuse to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“拒绝做某事”。故填to work。
50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管他为自己“脱离剧本”的能力感到自豪，但如果其他演员也尝试这么做，他会变得非常愤怒，认为他们根本就不擅长这样。分析句子结构可知，空处应用非谓语动词。动词argue与逻辑主语he之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词，作伴随状语。故填arguing。
【51题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当表演一个几乎没有笑声的场景时，他经常会编自己的笑话，这些笑话总是娱乐观众，但有时也会破坏场景。根据空后的scene可知，这里泛指一个场景，且scene的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【52题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词his own jokes，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。

54. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事
Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again.
He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.””
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. It struck endless energy and motivation into his body. His teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on the finish line forward. Suddenly, two figures whizzed past, which startled him. Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank. Just then, he thought of his sweat and his father’s encouraging smile.Gradually, his worry gave way to his confidence and the last 5 minutes saw him dash to the finish line, followed by the end of the race.
His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too.The flowers in his heart were already in bloom. His parents came up and gave him a high five, grinning from ear to ear. “Hey, why not try your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father, patting him on the shoulder. “Thanks, Dad, but I have given up the ice cream. It’s not such a lucky charm at all.” His eyes shone with wisdom. It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence.
