To even come close to reaching that goal would take years of practice and training. Chou is up to the challenge. Aim high In the early stages of his career as a professional athlete, Chou found himself stuck in a losing streak. He'd lost 10 consecutive matches. But that didn't stop Chou from continuing to aim high. He didn't lose heart. In 2016, Chou qualified to compete in the Olympic Games and finished in fifth place. Today, he's ranked third in the world, and he's setting his sights on winning Olympic gold in 2020. Stay focused In an interview. Chou explained his focus. He said, “There is no plan B.” For Chou, quitting is not an option, and he continues to work hard to hone (磨练) his skills. His focus and determination seem to be guiding his career.

Preparation is key Chou recalled moments during practice when some teammates or other players would spend breaks on their cellphones: but not Chou. He would use that 5 or 10 minutes to review what he'd just learned. A fan once asked Chou where his confidence comes from. He replied, “As long as you are well prepared, you can trust that you're ready." For Chou, this kind of preparation requires self-discipline, a regular routine as well as a balanced diet. But ultimately, it takes daily concentration. Focused forward Drawing inspiration from his faith, Chou wants to encourage young people with a message. That message is, “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, pressing on toward the goal...” According to Chou, his faith is what has helped him overcome all of the setbacks in his career.(1)What can we learn from the passage?A.Chou Tien-Chen started playing badminton at 5 years old.B.Chou Tien-Chen had a break after he lost 10 matches.C.hou Tien-Chen ranked third in the world in 2016.D.Chou Tien-Chen got his achievement because of his talent.(2)The underlined words “plan B” means ______.A.focus B.excuse C.another choice D.short break(3)According to Chou Tien-Chen, where does his confidence come from?A.Full preparation.

It seems strange that parents, while paying close attention to school, seem often to forget a much cheaper way of improving their children's educational situation-a stable (稳定的)family.There are plenty of researches to back all this up: a recent study by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre found that children aged seven and older usually (lid more poorly in exams and behaved badly at school if their parents broke up.Another report by the Economic and Social Research Council, found that a stable family life meant children were more likely to take in what was offered in the classroom.According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, teenagers whose parents were fighting or separating might find it difficult to concentrate (集中注意力)at school.

So paying a few hundred pounds for a family relationship course could be a much better use of the family's money than spending thousands on moving houses.I can't help wondering whether the only sure winners from the fight to live by the best school gates are house sellers rather than the very children the move is designed to help.(1)According to the Sutton Trust,what's the most common way for parents to send their children to a good school?________A.sking their relatives for help.B.Going to church every Sunday.C.Moving to a house in a certain area.D.Buying a second house near the school.(2)What can we learn from the researches in Paragraph 3?________A.Children above seven usually behaved badly at school.B.Going to good schools improved the children's behavior.C.Parents'relationship had an influence on their children's study.D.Parents usually fought for their children's poor performance at school.(3)The writer agrees that.________A.a longer marriage means a stronger family relationship.B.the local league table of schools is important for parents.C.parents should have better communication with teachers and schools.D.it's worthwhile to spend some money improving a family relationship.(4)What's the best title of the passage?________A.More Money Can Help"Buy"Better Education.B.Parents Should Provide the Best Start for Their Children.C.Moving Houses Gives Great Benefits to Children's Education.D.Parents Staying Together Happily Is the Best Way to Help Children.For years, artists from other countries have tried to break into the Western music scene but have met with limited success.
