Most Valuable Player was what I hoped to get. Back in Grade 6, soccer became my favorite sport. I wasn’t the best player on the team at the beginning of the year. But after a lot of hard work, by the end of the year, I felt that I was the MVP
As the soccer season went on, we finally finished second in the city. Our team was a very good team, and I was a big part of that. Kenny was the captain (队长), but I was the player who scored the most goals in the team. Kenny would always pass the ball to all his players
At the end of the year, there was a sports dinner at school. People got prizes for excellent performance. Everyone on the team felt that I would get the MVP. At the end of the dinner, the teacher stood up and announced (宣布) the winners for the prizes, “The winner for MVP is—Kenny.”
I was shocked. After the event, the teacher came up to me and explained. He said, “You were the best player on the team, but you did not pass the ball. You were out there for yourself but not for the team. You have to realize that soccer is about the team, not about one individual player.” I was embarrassed (窘迫的) by what the coach had said.
But now that I am in Grade 9 and the captain of the soccer team, I feel that I have learned that a team sport is not just about you. It is about “us”. Now I am both a better player and a better captain because of this.

Facial-recognition cameras are every where——even in your smartphone. Many people use this technology to unlock (解锁) their phones, open doors or make quick payments. But there is a problem: Someone wears masks. What a headache!
Scientists are trying to solve this problem. For example, Engineering and Technology (E&T) magazine reports that Hanwang, a tech company in Beijing, has made a new system. It can recognize (辨认) 95%of people when they wear masks.
What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios Savvides from Carnegie Mellon University studies facial-recognition. As we get older, he says, our faces change shape. But the area around our eyes doesn’t. It stays the same——even if we put on weight. As long as there are enough data from the area of our eyes, the cameras can recognize us.
Tech5 is another facial-recognition company. The Swiss company’s products scan (扫描) the shape of your face. They also scan your iris (虹膜), which is the colored part of your eyes. Tech5 hopes to ignore (忽略) all of the face below the nose.
This kind of software is more important than just unlocking your phone. “It can discover criminals (罪犯), even when they wear masks.” said Huang Lei from Hanwang. Hanwang’s technology is used by Chinese police in places like subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force.
Huang pointed out one big weakness: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost.” Lei said to E&T.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
31. At present, what can facial-recognition technology be used for?
A. Taking photos. B. Shutting doors. C. Paying for things. D. Locking smartphones.
32. What is the problem with facial-recognition technology?
A. It doesn’t work when people wear masks.
B. It causes trouble to people’s faces.
C. It brings people headaches all the time.
D. It gives personal information to the bad.
33. Why are eyes the key to solving recognition problems?
A. Because eyes never get old.
B. Because eyes have bright colors.
C. Because the area around our eyes doesn’t change.
D. Because eyes can store the people’s key information.
34. Which of the following is a picture of a mask?
A. B.
C. D.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. It is all about eyes B. It is a safe way
C. Facial information is important D. Facial-recognition is a risk.
D
Do you know what separates successful people from others? 36
Self-discipline (自律) is the ability to keep pushing yourself to do high-quality work. This skill gives you power to stick to your decisions and follow them through. 37 Studies have shown that students with a high degree of self-discipline get more knowledge than those without self-discipline.
How to build self-discipline? 38 For example, you want to start exercising every evening, or even to avoid unhealthy food for one day. Remember, starting small is the best way to start developing your self-discipline.
39 Try to express these reasons in a positive way. So, instead of saying, “I want to get this task off my To-Do List”, say, “I want to do this task so that I can meet my goal and feel satisfied with my day’s work”. When you list the reasons why you want to achieve something, you’ll find it much easier to get the job done.
Celebrate your wins! If you’ve been able to develop a successful habit every day for 30 days, such as eating vegetables, give yourself a reward to celebrate! 40 By doing this you will be more likely to set even bigger goals in the future.
If you have big dreams for your life, focus on developing self-discipline and you will be amazed at how much easier your life will become!
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. Self-discipline can also improve learning.
B. Set goals and celebrate your achievements.
C. Part of the answer lies in self-discipline.
D. Begin by choosing just one goal that you want to focus on.
E. Once you’ve chosen a goal, list the reasons why you want to achieve it.
36. ______ 37. ______ 38. ______ 39. ______ 40. ______

Once, there was a young man who expected to be successful badly. One day, he visited Socrates, the great and successful Greek philosopher (哲学家), and asked the man about the secret to success. He hoped that this man, who he respected (尊敬) a lot, could show him something useful and helpful. After knowing the young man’s purpose, Socrates decided to do something to calm (使平静) him down first. Looking at the worried young man in silence for a while, Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river outside the city the next morning. Dare not ask Socrates why, the puzzled young man left.
The next day, the young man came early and waited. When the great man arrived, he asked the young man to walk with him toward the river together. They walked side by side in the river. Though the young man was still puzzled (困惑的), he followed. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water all of a sudden. The poor man tried hard, hoping to get out directly, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the poor man’s face started turning blue.
After pulling his head out of the water, the first thing the young man did was to take a deep breath of the air. Waiting for a while, when seeing the young man calm down, Socrates asked slowly, “Now please tell me. What did you want most when you were in the water?” The man replied, “Air.” Hearing the young man’s answer, Socrates said, “Now, you see, that is the secret to success. Only when you want something as badly as you wanted the air just now in the water, will you get it!”
Sometimes we are always so eager (渴望的) to be successful that we can’t make ourselves understand what we really need. So, learn your situation to get to know what you want most and try your best, and then you may get it.

In most of the Western countries, it is widely known that pink or purple is for girls while blue or brown is for boys. Why? The answer largely depends on cultural values as well as personal experiences. And people’s choices of colors are also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) to them.
For example, green is usually said to be the most restful color among the family of color. Scientists believe it has the ability to lessen (减少) people’s pain and is able to relax people when they are tired. And people working in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches. Most Egyptians consider green as a color that stands for hope and joy of spring. So, don’t be surprised when you see too much green in Egypt.
Red has also been noted for thousands of years. It is a symbol of good luck or energy in many cultures for long. In China, during the Spring Festival, children are given money in a red envelope (信封) to bring luck in the coming year. Red can also cause a person’s appetite (胃口). Have you ever noticed that there are many different red things in the restaurant? For the same reason, many shopping websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color which easily catches a person’s eye and causes the interest in buying.
Blue, for many nations, means protection and belief. Greeks wear blue necklaces, hoping to protect them from bad things. And, opposite to red, blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue is believed to cause people to lose appetite. So when you mean to eat less, maybe it helps to eat on blue plates.

Once upon a time a little leaf was heard to cry, as leaves often did when a gentle wind passed by. The twig asked, “What’s the matter, little leaf?” The leaf said, “The wind just told me that one day it will pull me off!” When the tree heard this, it swung all over and promised the leaf, “You will not go till you want to.”
The sunny days of the auturnn came. The little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were in both colors. The little leaf asked the tree what it meant. The tree said, “All these leaves ▲ fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy.”
The little leaf wanted to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it. When it was very bright in color, it saw the branches of the tree had no color in them. The leaf asked, “Branches, why are you brown?” “We must keep our working clothes on. Your clothes are for holiday, because your tasks are over,” said a branch.
Just then a little puff of wind came, took the leaf up and turned it over and over. The little leaf was like the fire in the air, and fell down silently among hundreds of other leaves. It began to dream —a dream so beautiful that perhaps it would last forever.

Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful. It is different from recycling. When you recycle something, old materials need to be broken down so that their base materials can be remade into a new product, often of inferior quality. When you upcycle an object, you aren’t breaking down the material. You’re simply making it into something else. Also, the upcycled object is typically of the same, or even better quality.
The idea of upcycling isn’t new. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when people didn’t have many material resources. In those days, people found new purposes for old things over and over until they were no longer useful. For example, old coats would be turned into shoes and an old door would be made into a new table.
Nowadays, economising is still a big reason why some people upcycle. An even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is that it’s environmentally-friendly. Things shouldn’t just be thrown away when they can be turned into something useful. Upcycling is also more environmentally-friendly than recycling which requires energy or water to break down materials. Upcycling just requires your own creativity and effort.
Upcycling can provide you with something that’s both creative and practical. Why don’t you support the idea by checking your house or recycling bin and creating objects yourself? Take action right now!
