But Takamasa Hoshiyama, 17, says the reality of rugby is very different from what it looks like.“Whatever your size or speed, anyone can play rugby,” says the Island School student, who also plays on the U19 Hong Kong rugby team.Taka has been playing rugby since he was just four years old, following in the footsteps of his father. “My dad played rugby and he was keen (渴望的) for me to play,” says Taka. A lot has happened to Taka since his first game with his father. In the 2014 New Year's Day game against the Overseas Barbarians, he was named Man of the Match, and has taken the role of captain in hisAnd of course, he's grown throughout his years of playing rugby — in more ways than one. “When I started playing, I was scrum-half (争球前卫), usually the smallest guy on the field,” says Taka. “But as I grew, I changed position. Now I am a front row prop — one of the big guys that holds the scrum together.”“Rugby has done a lot for me,” he says. “It has really made me focused, and that is thanks to my coaches as well as my teammates who brought me to where I am now.”Taka says that being part of a team and experiencing that growth together is one of the best parts of the sport. “Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develop a mutual (相互的) respect between other teams and players,” he explains. “Training is hard and matches are physically demanding, but it is a team sport and you have to do your job for the team.”Now Taka wants to help others experience the same growth he has. In his free time, he coaches younger rugby teams. He says it is especially rewarding to find “unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encourage them to work on those.”5.What does Taka think of rugby?A. It requires fast speed.B. It has a role for everyone.C. It's a game full of violence.D. It's too competitive for kids.6.What has happened to Taka since he started playing rugby?A. He has realized what his father never could.B. He has built up both his physical and mental strength.C. He has played for the Overseas Barbarians for three years.D. He has taken the role of captain in the Hong Kong rugby team.7.According to Taka, what serves the most important role in playing rugby?A. Having a high level of physical fitness.B. Owning some unusual strengths.C. Building a strong team spirit.D. Having a fun-loving attitude.8.What's Taka hoping to do now?A. To coach national rugby teams.B. To become a professional rugby player.C. To get the leading role in his club team.D. To encourage more people to enjoy rugby.Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1. Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.” This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when one is “done with school” — it's actually a lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic SchoolBus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to learn to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children — by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.9.What does the underlined word “pique” in the text probably mean?A. Change.B. Awaken.C. Balance.D. Prevent.10.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring.D. Supportive.11.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A. Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B. It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C. If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D. Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.12.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A. Health.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Popular science.Dressing against the cold is hard when you're a 6,000-pound elephant. But thanks to some generous knitters (编织者) in Mathura, India, a group of elephants have giant handmade sweaters to help them stay warm during the cold winter. When worn with their bright red leg coverings, their new outfits look like comfortable nightclothes for them!The huge sweaters were made for elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center. It takes care of 20 blind, lame, or injured elephants. They were saved from abuse (虐待). Some lived in circuses, some were bought and sold illegally, and some were not receiving enough care. In India, elephants are sometimes kept in crowded inner cities and used in street performances or for begging. This causes physical and emotional harm to the wild animals. Wildlife SOS provides food, care, and medical attention to those animals.Because most of the elephants housed at the center are recovering from injuries or are elderly, “it is important to keep our elephants protected from the bitter cold during this extreme winter,” explains Kartick Satyanarayan, the co-founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS. “They are weak and vulnerable (脆弱的), having suffered so much abuse, making it easy for them to catch diseases such as pneumonia (lung infection). The cold also worsens their arthritis (关节炎), which is a common issue that our saved elephants have to deal with.”At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets out of tarp (防水帆布) for the elephants to wear. Then they asked people in nearby villages to help out by making colorful knitted sweaters.Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking. Each one takes about four weeks to create, with volunteers working together on the very large sweaters. Wildlife SOS hopes to save 50 more elephants this year — which means there could be a lot more knitting to do!13.What can we learn about the knitted sweaters for elephants?A. They are made of tarp.B. They are all in bright red.C. They are made entirely by hand.D. They are designed for the elderly.14.What do the 20 elephants who dress in huge sweaters have in common?A. They are all good at street performances.B. They all weigh over 6,000 pounds.C. They were all found in the wild.D. They were all badly treated.15.What does Kartick Satyanarayan mainly explain?A. The current situation of elephants in India.B. The possibility of better protecting elephants.C. The necessity of making sweaters for elephants.D. The reason why Wildlife SOS rescues elephants.The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall was the part of the Great Wall I liked to visit. ____, one day in May 2000, I chose something wilder, more ____: Simatai.
