become what is celebrated. Parents now see failure as a terrible disaster with negative consequences as opposed to something their children could recover and grow from.

In a recent study, administrators at Harvard observed that despite awesome grades, the kids entering college seem unable to take care of themselves and think for themselves. The study points to the tact that for all their lives their parents have taken care of every need, told them what path to follow and if any difficulty occurs, have made sure to fix it for them. As a result, children have lost the ability to feel competent and to be in charge of their own lives.

I was a baseball player. When the opportunity to coach my son's team came up, I was in two minds. 1 wanted my kids to do activities without their dad hanging around. But an old friend happened to be the head coach and he convinced me to help out. I coached it well, rarely having a hand in training my son. 1 found out the learning opportunities on and off the field were even better than I had imagined.

Last season, our team lost 0-13. !n the post-game meeting, my message was. \"You have to learn how to lose if you ever want to win.\" When saying this to the team, I was met with blank stares. When I said it to the parents, there was some nodding but not everyone was on board. Shouldn't 1 be praising the kids for their every action? Why didn't 1 put only the best players at the “important' positions? How come I didn't replace kids who were struggling with players who could do better?

Luckily, the parents eventually got my message and I didn't get any push-back at all. They desired to learn more about life lessons that failure could teach their kids. And the team began to win games after early losses. 8. What does children's failure mean to parents? A. Children's self-reflection. B. Destructive effects on children, C. A steppingstone to children's success. D. Parental irresponsibility in raising children.

9. What prevents children thinking independently based on the study? A. The rapidly-developing society. B. Parents' high expectations of children. C. Children's wrong attitude towards failure. D. Too much parental intervention in children's life.

10. How did the author feel when offered the chance to coach his son's team? A. Excited.

B. Confident.

C. Hesitant

D Uninterested.

I L What do the three questions in paragraph 4 imply? A. Some parents doubted the author's strategies. B. The players felt confused about their failure. C. The author was to blame for the team's defeat. D. The author ignored the head coach's good advice.

While orcas （虎鲸）are known for their well-designed joint attacks on unsuspecting oceanic animals, they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since July 2020. the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain. The unusual hostility is puzzling scientists worldwide. The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, when Victoria Morris, a biology graduate, noticed nine orcas circling the 46-foot boat she was crewing near the shores of the Strait of Gibraltar. She was initially cheerful to see the friendly animals, with which she had numerous encounters while teaching sailing in New Zealand. However, that changed when the orcas started striking the boat repeatedly for almost an hour \"They almost turned the boat over and the deafening noise was terrifying/* she said.

The continuous attacks broke the boat's automatic nidder （船舵），leaving the boat disabled. Spanish biologist Rocio E^pada says, \"11 is crazy, fvc &een these whales grow from babies. I know their life stories. JTve never seen or heard of attacks.'*

Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. Some researchers believe the orcas1 unusual behavior could be a result of the overfighrng of tuna — orcas' primary （bod source — which has left the area's orcas starving and unable to feed their babies. **l saw orcas look at boats carrying fish. The intelligent animals may know humans are somehow related to fbHowever* Alfredo Lopez, a Spanish biology professor, thinks the attacks were preventative measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came tu this conclusion after looking at the footage of a few incidents filmed on the scene and noticing that two of the young orcas involved had serious injuries. The scientist wasn’t sure if the orcas were hurt during or before the recent boat encounters. Lopez said, ,kOur interpretation is that they don*t have the slightest intention of attacking people/1 Hopefully, the experts will find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and humans soon. 12. What does the underlined word “hostility\" in paragraph I mean? A. Unfriendliness. B. Defence.

13. What do we know about Victoria Morris?

A. Her major led her to anticipate orcas' intense attacks. B. She rarely spotted orcas when working as a sailing coach.

C, Cooperation. D. Impatience.

C. Her joy gave way to fear after the orcas began attacking the boat. D. She was doing research on the shore when she caught sight of nine orcas. 14. What did Rocio Espada think of the orcas' behavior of attacking humans? A, Predictable. B. Abnormal.

C Unavoidable. D, NaturaL

15. Which of the following may Alfredo Lopez agree with? A. Orcas frequently get hurt by boats, B. Orcas enjoy playing tricks on humans. C. Orcas are punishing humans for overfishing.

Though the community was small, everyone welcomed us and we soon made many friends. One family wc grew to admire was the Wadsworths.

The first two years were filled with friendship and joy. But then disaster struck: Mrs. Wadsworth died, leaving her husband with eight children that hadn't grown up. One year later, Mr. Wadsworth also passed away.

The entire town was heartbroken. Preparations were made to send the kids to their relatives, but the Wadsworth children had different plans. The oldest son, Brent, gathered all his brothers and sisters and held a family meeting. \"Our parents taught us to be responsible for each other. They wouldn't want us to be separated and unable to see each other frequently from now on/* he said seriously and firmly. The children all agreed and decided to make it on their own.
