I loved swimming a lot and I was in our school team four years ago. But at
one time I was ready to quit（退出）because I felt I was terrible at it. I kept __13__
“Honorable Mentions（安慰奖）”. In fact, I didn’t want to have a bookshelf full
of “Honorable Mentions”. It seemed that I got them just because I showed up.
One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to tell my
grandma that I was quitting the swim team, but she said, “Baby, __14__ these
words: ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. ‘ You go to that swim meet
tomorrow. “
The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, __ 15__ my group of swimmers in the 15-16 age group. My
coach suggested that I swim with the older group. I knew that she wanted me to swim in the race so that our long
__16__ would not be wasted（浪费）. As I got on the board, I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one
thing-to beat me! __17 __, I remembered my grandma’s words, “Quitters never win and winners never quit.
SPLASH!
I was swimming __18 __than before. As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied（打成 平局）with one
person. I thought we were fighting for the eighth place and I refused to fish dead last, so I made a great effort on the
last 200 yards. I hit the wall and __19__ to the left and to the right for the other swimmers, but no one was there.
They must have got out of the water already. I raised my head to see my coach __20__ loudly with great happiness.
The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 400-
freestyle record in 17-18 age group. I had hung up my honorable mentions. That day, I replaced them with a huge
gold medal.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE!
Do you feel sad and stressed when you’re learning English? Well, don’t worry. You’re not alone! Li Ming, from
China felt just like this. So he decided to write to International English Learners’ Blog site.
Li Ming’s Blog:
Hi, I’m Li Ming from China. I’m really trying hard to learn English and I just need some help! I’ve got an exam
coming up soon and I need to improve my listening, speaking, reading and wrting skills. Please help me!
第2页/共9页
Li Ming! I know just how you’re feeling. There must be other people in your
situation. Why don’t you get together and set up some kind of ENGLISHT ‘English
Speaking Club’? You can talk to each other about your life and your worries. It’s a
good way to improve your English and enjoy yourself!
Amy, China
Hi there! Like you, I’m trying to learn English grammar and especially pronunciation-
they speak so fast here and have really strange accents! Try to watch some English
films and don’t worry if you don’t understand everything-just guess what they’re
saying.
Zhao Xing, UK
It’s a good idea to read English newspapers. Isn’t there one in China called China
Daily? Get your notebook out and write down some words you don’t know! You’ll
find words repeat themselves and you’ll quickly build up your vocabulary.
Sam, Australia
How about getting a pen friend? I’d be happy to be yours. We can send each other
messages. Don’t be shy! Good luck in your exams. Take a deep breath, smile and
you’ll be fine!

Josh caught a pass and scored. He helped his university basketball team Vermont Catamounts win the match in
March. The coaches and players of both teams cheered on him. Josh shouted, “I did it! I’m a college basketball
player!”
Five years ago, Josh almost died in a car accident, only months after being accepted by the University of Vermont
Catamounts. In fact, playing for the University of Vermont Catamounts had always been his dream.
After the accident, he went into a coma（昏迷）and the doctors told his parents that he might not wake up for
the rest of his life. But his parents never lost hope. Four weeks later, Josh proved （证明）them right. He not only

learned to walk but also started to talk again. And soon he was even working out. But the dream of playing basketball
was the strongest driving power in Josh’s being well again.
Just a year and a half after the accident, he headed to the University of Vermont to start college. With arm tremors
（颤抖）and short-term memory loss, Josh knew he would never play for the University of Vermont, but he watched
every practice from the sidelines（边线）and then became an important part of the team. His coach said, “Josh’s
shown the whole team how to get through difficulties. “
Now 24, Josh will graduate from the University of Vermont in May with a 3. 4 GPA and plans to work with kids.
Josh tells people who are fighting against their own trouble, “Always have a dream in your mind and follow after it
as hard as you can.

The world is getting warm quickly. The last ten years was the hottest ever
recorded according to Climate（气候）Change Service. The ice cap in the Arctic
（北极）got smaller from 2. 44 million square miles in 2010 to 1. 6 million
square miles in 2019, says NASA’s Earth Observatory（观测站）. Of course,
arctic ice isn’t the only thing that’s getting smaller.
Why ice matters
Polar bears need sea ice in order to raise their babies and hunt（捕猎）for
food. The sea ice is their habitat—a place where they usually live. Without it, they’re going hungry and their numbers
are getting smaller. As reported in 2015, they’re getting “clever” to live on. One way was that bears managed to catch
a special kind of dolphin they don’t usually eat and swam into their habitat, ate some of it, then put the rest in snow
to eat later. This is a habit the bears don’t often have.
Other food appears
Polar bears mainly eat seals （海豹）but researchers see polar bears in the western Hudson Bay eating snow
geese（雪雁）eggs. A polar bear needs to eat 88 eggs to get the same calories from eating one seal. But this cannot
keep the bears in the long run; besides, bears eating eggs will make snow geese populations become smaller. Warming
weather is also driving polar bears south, to look for food in human rubbish. Another problem is that polar bears are
waking up from winter sleep earlier and earlier, which means they need more food than ever. When a bear wakes up,
it is usually hungry and has little energy to collect and get the food.
More scientists join in
Without sea ice, there is no sea ice ecosystem（生态系统）and losing that ecosystem means losing polar bears.
They can go without food for about 220 days, but if it is more than 220 days, it will cut down their chances to live
on. Scientists are reporting more deaths of polar bears because of it.
do polar bears mainly eat?
.
do you know about polar bears from the passage?
was badly hurt in an accident.

Goji Berries
berry is a bright orange-red berry and it comes from China. The goji（枸杞）
In Asia, people use goji berries to try to treat many common health problems
because they believe goji berries are rich in nutrients（营养物）. Some studies
using goji berry juice found possible benefits（好处）of it. For example, people
say they develop a feeling of well-being and calmness because of it. Others
report better sports performance and quality of sleep. Some people even become
thinner while eating it. But it’s not clear if goji berries are better than other kinds
of berries.
Chinese people have long believed that it has medicinal powers. It’s true that the ancient goji berry hnas long
been part of Chinese culture. But times are changing for this simple（简单的）berry. Now it is being thought as a
superfood all over the world.
Asia’s younger generation（一代人）, the Gen Z, are embracing（接受） the goji berry in their own ways.
Members of Gen Z, who were born around 1997-2012, are now buying “wellness kettles（养生壶）”for their goji
berry tea. Their parents might recognize（认识）these as traditional soup kettles. According to a 2019 study on Gen
Z in China, this generation sees living a healthy life as the most important thing, even over money, job, personal
enjoyment and having a family.
The power of the goji berry doesn’t look as if it will dim anytime soon as there were a large number of goji
berries sold in China during the sales on November 11th this year.
The berry has also become popular in foreign countries. People in the West are paying up to US $10 for a small
bag of the superfood, around three times its price in Asia.
Some famous people such as Amrita Banta has seen young Asians embrace a healthier way of living: “There is
in China a renewed pride in many traditional products and practices,” she said. “Yet, the popularity of goji berries
comes on the back of a global awareness（意识）of their benefits. It is glad to see China becoming so proud of its
past, yet so connected to the rest of the world. “
are the Asia’s younger generation embracing the goji berry?
e their parents love the goji berry.
e the goji berry goes with the wellness kettles.
e the goji berry is a traditional Chinese medicine.
e they believe that the goji berry is good for health.
word “dim” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”
less less popular
less less expensive
can we learn from the passage?
goji berry is more popular in the rest of the world than in China.
to the goji berry, Western people embrace a healthier way of life.
