Rugby players have a reputatin f being big, strng and rude n the field. But Takamasa Hshiyama, 17, says the reality f rugby is very different frm what it lks like.
“Whatever yur size r speed, anyne can play rugby,” says the Island Schl student, wh als plays n the U19 Hng Kng rugby team.
Taka has been playing rugby since he was just fur years ld, fllwing in the ftsteps f his father. “My dad played rugby and he was keen (渴望的) fr me t play,” says Taka. A lt has happened t Taka since his first game with his father. In the 2014 New Year's Day game against the Overseas Barbarians, he was named Man f the Match, and has taken the rle f captain in his club team.
And f curse, he's grwn thrughut his years f playing rugby — in mre ways than ne. “When I started playing, I was scrum-half (争球前卫), usually the smallest guy n the field,” says Taka. “But as I grew, I changed psitin. Nw I am a frnt rw prp — ne f the big guys that hlds the scrum tgether.”
“Rugby has dne a lt fr me,” he says. “It has really made me fcused, and that is thanks t my caches as well as my teammates wh brught me t where I am nw.”
Taka says that being part f a team and experiencing that grwth tgether is ne f the best parts f the sprt. “Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develp a mutual (相互的) respect between ther teams and players,” he explains. “Training is hard and matches are physically demanding, but it is a team sprt and yu have t d yur jb fr the team.”
Nw Taka wants t help thers experience the same grwth he has. In his free time, he caches yunger rugby teams. He says it is especially rewarding t find “unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encurage them t wrk n thse.”

Recent studies have shwn that challenging yur brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain t create new patterns, is very imprtant t keep yur brain active and healthy as yu age. Lifelng learning is a health club fr ur minds, bdies and spirits. This is why we parents shuld als teach ur children t be lifelng learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychlgist, and yuth develpment expert, shares sme ways fr us t d this.
1. Ask questins.
When yur child asks yu a questin, dn't answer it straight away. Instead, help him r her bring up “questins that pique their curisity.” This way, we help children make cnnectins between what they're learning at schl and the wrld beynd their classrm. We als shw them that learning des nt, and shuld nt, end when ne is “dne with schl” — it's actually a lifelng prcess!
2. Let them fail.
Our kids lve learning abut different scientific cncepts (概念) via The Magic Schl Bus vides n YuTube. And ne f the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always qute (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid t d r learn smething because they might d it wrng r make a mistake. If we dn't allw ur kids t fail, they wn't be able t learn t“use mistakes and failures t make lifelng learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.
3. Learn thrugh experience.
This is very true fr all f us, especially children. In the wrds f Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning thrugh experience, nt just frm bks, is ne f the best ways t give the yuth the skills they need fr lifelng learning, living, and wrking in the 21st century.”
Of curse, we shuld als set an example fr ur children — by learning cntinuusly, and expanding ur knwledge and experiences.
29. What des the underlined wrd “pique” in the text prbably mean?
A. Change.
B. Awaken.
C. Balance.
D. Prevent.
30. What's the authr's attitude t what Miss Frizzle always says?
A. Wrried.
B. Dubtful.
C. Uncaring.
D. Supprtive.
31. Which f the fllwing shws the imprtance f learning thrugh experience?
A. Learning is nt child's play; we cannt learn withut pain.
B. It is nt that I'm s smart. But I stay with the questins much lnger.
C. If yu dn't learn t think when yu are yung, yu may never learn.
D. Tell me and I frget, teach me and I may remember, invlve me and I learn.
32. In which part f a newspaper will the text mst prbably appear?

Dressing against the cld is hard when yu're a 6,000-pund elephant. But thanks t sme generus knitters (编织者) in Mathura, India, a grup f elephants have giant handmade sweaters t help them stay warm during the cld winter. When wrn with their bright red leg cverings, their new utfits lk like cmfrtable nightclthes fr them!
The huge sweaters were made fr elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Cnservatin and Care Center. It takes care f 20 blind, lame, r injured elephants. They were saved frm abuse (虐待). Sme lived in circuses, sme were bught and sld illegally, and sme were nt receiving enugh care. In India, elephants are smetimes kept in crwded inner cities and used in street perfrmances r fr begging. This causes physical and emtinal harm t the wild animals. Wildlife SOS prvides fd, care, and medical attentin t thse animals.

The cld als wrsens their arthritis (关节炎), which is a cmmn issue that ur saved elephants have t deal with.”
At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets ut f tarp (防水帆布) fr the elephants t wear. Then they asked peple in nearby villages t help ut by making clrful knitted sweaters. Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking. Each ne takes abut fur weeks t create, with vlunteers wrking tgether n the very large sweaters. Wildlife SOS hpes t save 50 mre elephants this year — which means there culd be a lt mre knitting t d!

Slw and steady wins the race — at least fr a species f giant trtise (巨型陆龟) in the Galápags Islands. Decades f majr cnservatin effrts in this island chain ff the western cast f Suth America have bsted the numbers f a giant trtise species that was in danger f extinctin.
Befre the arrival f humans t the Galápags in the 1500s, thusands f giant trtises lived n the island f Españla. These trtises can grw up t 3 feet lng and survive by feeding n grass, leaves, and cactuses (仙人掌). Like ther trtises, these animals can live fr mre than 100 years.
But humans quickly came t value the animals fr their meat and shells. Centuries later, Españla trtises fund themselves struggling t survive. By the 1960s, nly 15 f the trtises were left in the wrld.
Scientists used these 15 trtises t rebuild the ppulatin thrugh a prgram in the 1960s and 1970s. They finally sent mre than 1,500 f the animals back nt the island in 1975. A generatin later, mre than 1,000 trtises live n the island. The animals' success in the wild makes scientists cnfident that the species' survival n lnger requires assistance frm peple.
The Galápags Islands are lcated abut 600 miles west f Ecuadr in the Pacific Ocean, hme t a lt f unique animals, including many species f trtises and finches (雀鸟).
Hwever, many f these animals weren't as lucky as the Españla trtise. A number f ther subspecies f trtise were hunted t extinctin, including the Pinta Island trtise. Laws passed in the 1970s nw prtect the different animals in the Galápags against many human threats.
Españla trtises still face sme challenges. Nn-native gats, which were first brught t the island in the late 1800s, had previusly destryed many f the cactuses that the trtises eat. Althugh the gats were remved frm the island in the 1970s, scientists say it culd take hundreds f years fr the cactuses t return t their previus levels.
But there is hpe that the current trtise ppulatin n Españla will cntinue t grw. “The rebund (反弹) f the Españla trtises frm near extinctin is undubtedly ne f cnservatin's greatest success stries,”says Dennis Hansen, a giant trtise expert at the University f Zurich, Switzerland.
1. What des the underlined wrd “bsted” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Divided.
B. Cunted.
C. Increased.
D. Cntrlled.
2. What was the main reasn that led t Españla trtises' struggling t survive?
A. T many enemies.
B. Wrsening habitat.
C. A lack f fd.
D. Over hunting.
3. What can we learn abut the creatures in the Galápags Islands nw?
A. The Pinta Island trtise is nearly extinct.
B. There are n nn-native gats n Españla.
C. Cactuses have returned t their previus levels.
D. Only 1,500 Españla trtises live n the island.
4. What des Dennis Hansen think f the prgram in the 1960s and 1970s?
A. Wrried.
B. Satisfied.
C. Shcked.
D. Cnfused.

Retail (零售的) stres are having an identity crisis. With ft traffic falling and custmers ging t nline stres like Amazn, many stres are lking fr new ways t keep the physical shpping experience valuable. “Physical stres find themselves at a crssrads,” says Dug Stephens, retail industry futurist and authr f The Retail Revival.
If strefrnts want t cmpete with their mre cnvenient (and usually cheaper) nline alternatives, they will have t ffer unique experiences wrth getting ff the cuch fr. “My expectatin will be t g t the stre t learn abut things, t be a participant in things, t c-create, t custmize the things I'm buying, and t satisfy my wn needs,” Stephens says. Here are tw predictins f hw the retailers f tmrrw will keep us shpping.
Stephens predicts that we'll be transprted by virtual reality (虚拟现实). The stres f the future will “be much mre visual (看得见的),” he says. “Technlgies like virtual reality, which a lt f cmpanies right nw are srt f experimenting with, can be used t create immersive (沉浸虚拟现实式的) shpping experiences.” Outdr clthing and equipment maker The Nrth Face recently wrked with VR cmpany Jaunt t let shppers at its flagship stres put n VR headsets and take a virtual tur f Ysemite Natinal Park, r virtually rck climb alngside star athletes. After they've climbed dwn the muntains, perhaps custmers will be mre willing t buy sme climbing equipment.
Stres will als track and identify us, says Stephens. Remember that scene frm Minrity Reprt when Tm Cruise walks int a shpping mall and all the advertisements speak directly t him and knw his shpping histry by scanning (扫描) his eyeballs? That's nt s far ff. A cmpany called Hxtn Analytics ffers a system that can determine a shpper's data. Instead f scanning yur eyeballs, this technlgy wrks by scanning and identifying yur shes. The gal is t help cmpanies better understand custmers and traffic patterns. The cmpany makes sure that the system “des nt cllect persnal infrmatin, and it des nt stre individual phtgraphs, nr can it recgnize individuals.”
5. What des Stephens want t shw by saying the underlined wrds?
A. Many custmers still prefer visiting physical stres.
B. Physical stres wrk with nline stres like Amazn.
C. Physical stres are facing challenges frm nline stres.
D. Mre and mre physical stres are being built at a crssrads.
6. What des Stephens expect physical stres t d?
A. Sell much cheaper prducts.
B. Prvide persnalized services.
C. Offer better after-sales service.
D. Create nice shpping envirnments.
7. What can we learn frm the example f The Nrth Face?
A. Hw physical stres supprt VR.
B. Hw VR will help physical stres.
C. Why peple are shwing mre interest in VR.
D. Why immersive shpping experiences are exciting.
8. What is an advantage f Hxtn Analytics's system?
A. It makes fitted shes.

Rugby players have a reputatin f being big, strng and rude n the field. But Takamasa Hshiyama, 17, says the reality f rugby is very different frm what it lks like.

Taka says that being part f a team and experiencing that grwth tgether is ne f the best parts f the sprt. “Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develp a mutual (相互的) respect between ther teams and players,” he explains. “Training is hard and matches are physically demanding, but it is a team sprt and yu have t d yur jb fr the team.”
Nw Taka wants t help thers experience the same grwth he has. In his free time, he caches yunger rugby teams. He says it is especially rewarding t find “unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encurage them t wrk n thse.”

Recent studies have shwn that challenging yur brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain t create new patterns, is very imprtant t keep yur brain active and healthy as yu age.

Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychlgist, and yuth develpment expert, shares sme ways fr us t d this.

When yur child asks yu a questin, dn't answer it straight away.

We als shw them that learning des nt, and shuld nt, end when ne is “dne with schl” — it's actually a lifelng prcess!
2. Let them fail.
Our kids lve learning abut different scientific cncepts (概念) via The Magic Schl Bus vides n YuTube. And ne f the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always qute (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid t d r learn smething because they might d it wrng r make a mistake. If we dn't allw ur kids t fail, they wn't be able t learn t“use mistakes and failures t make lifelng learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.
3. Learn thrugh experience.
This is very true fr all f us, especially children. In the wrds f Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning thrugh experience, nt just frm bks, is ne f the best ways t give the yuth the skills they need fr lifelng learning, living, and wrking in the 21st century.”
Of curse, we shuld als set an example fr ur children — by learning cntinuusly, and expanding ur knwledge and experiences.
29. What des the underlined wrd “pique” in the text prbably mean?

B. It is nt that I'm s smart. But I stay with the questins much lnger.
C. If yu dn't learn t think when yu are yung, yu may never learn.
D. Tell me and I frget, teach me and I may remember, invlve me and I learn.
32. In which part f a newspaper will the text mst prbably appear?

The cld als wrsens their arthritis (关节炎), which is a cmmn issue that ur saved elephants have t deal with.”
At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets ut f tarp (防水帆布) fr the elephants t wear. Then they asked peple in nearby villages t help ut by making clrful knitted sweaters. Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking. Each ne takes abut fur weeks t create, with vlunteers wrking tgether n the very large sweaters.

Slw and steady wins the race — at least fr a species f giant trtise (巨型陆龟) in the Galápags Islands. Decades f majr cnservatin effrts in this island chain ff the western cast f Suth America have bsted the numbers f a giant trtise species that was in danger f extinctin.
Befre the arrival f humans t the Galápags in the 1500s, thusands f giant trtises lived n the island f Españla. These trtises can grw up t 3 feet lng and survive by feeding n grass, leaves, and cactuses (仙人掌). Like ther trtises, these animals can live fr mre than 100 years.
But humans quickly came t value the animals fr their meat and shells. Centuries later, Españla trtises fund themselves struggling t survive. By the 1960s, nly 15 f the trtises were left in the wrld.
Scientists used these 15 trtises t rebuild the ppulatin thrugh a prgram in the 1960s and 1970s. They finally sent mre than 1,500 f the animals back nt the island in 1975. A generatin later, mre than 1,000 trtises live n the island. The animals' success in the wild makes scientists cnfident that the species' survival n lnger requires assistance frm peple.
The Galápags Islands are lcated abut 600 miles west f Ecuadr in the Pacific Ocean, hme t a lt f unique animals, including many species f trtises and finches (雀鸟).
Hwever, many f these animals weren't as lucky as the Españla trtise. A number f ther subspecies f trtise were hunted t extinctin, including the Pinta Island trtise. Laws passed in the 1970s nw prtect the different animals in the Galápags against many human threats.
Españla trtises still face sme challenges. Nn-native gats, which were first brught t the island in the late 1800s, had previusly destryed many f the cactuses that the trtises eat. Althugh the gats were remved frm the island in the 1970s, scientists say it culd take hundreds f years fr the cactuses t return t their previus levels.
But there is hpe that the current trtise ppulatin n Españla will cntinue t grw. “The rebund (反弹) f the Españla trtises frm near extinctin is undubtedly ne f cnservatin's greatest success stries,”says Dennis Hansen, a giant trtise expert at the University f Zurich, Switzerland.

D. Only 1,500 Españla trtises live n the island.

Retail (零售的) stres are having an identity crisis. With ft traffic falling and custmers ging t nline stres like Amazn, many stres are lking fr new ways t keep the physical shpping experience valuable. “Physical stres find themselves at a crssrads,” says Dug Stephens, retail industry futurist and authr f The Retail Revival.
If strefrnts want t cmpete with their mre cnvenient (and usually cheaper) nline alternatives, they will have t ffer unique experiences wrth getting ff the cuch fr. “My expectatin will be t g t the stre t learn abut things, t be a participant in things, t c-create, t custmize the things I'm buying, and t satisfy my wn needs,” Stephens says. Here are tw predictins f hw the retailers f tmrrw will keep us shpping.
Stephens predicts that we'll be transprted by virtual reality (虚拟现实). The stres f the future will “be much mre visual (看得见的),” he says. “Technlgies like virtual reality, which a lt f cmpanies right nw are srt f experimenting with, can be used t create immersive (沉浸虚拟现实式的) shpping experiences.” Outdr clthing and equipment maker The Nrth Face recently wrked with VR cmpany Jaunt t let shppers at its flagship stres put n VR headsets and take a virtual tur f Ysemite Natinal Park, r virtually rck climb alngside star athletes. After they've climbed dwn the muntains, perhaps custmers will be mre willing t buy sme climbing equipment.
Stres will als track and identify us, says Stephens. Remember that scene frm Minrity Reprt when Tm Cruise walks int a shpping mall and all the advertisements speak directly t him and knw his shpping histry by scanning (扫描) his eyeballs? That's nt s far ff. A cmpany called Hxtn Analytics ffers a system that can determine a shpper's data. Instead f scanning yur eyeballs, this technlgy wrks by scanning and identifying yur shes. The gal is t help cmpanies better understand custmers and traffic patterns. The cmpany makes sure that the system “des nt cllect persnal infrmatin, and it des nt stre individual phtgraphs, nr can it recgnize individuals.”
5. What des Stephens want t shw by saying the underlined wrds?
A. Many custmers still prefer visiting physical stres.
B. Physical stres wrk with nline stres like Amazn.
C. Physical stres are facing challenges frm nline stres.
D. Mre and mre physical stres are being built at a crssrads.

A. Sell much cheaper prducts.
B. Prvide persnalized services.
C. Offer better after-sales service.
D. Create nice shpping envirnments.
7. What can we learn frm the example f The Nrth Face?
A. Hw physical stres supprt VR.
B. Hw VR will help physical stres.
C. Why peple are shwing mre interest in VR.
D. Why immersive shpping experiences are exciting.
8. What is an advantage f Hxtn Analytics's system?
