One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didnt you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since youre so good at it. John answered, Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.From then on, I often remember my students reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of themselves, Ive found that a simple I trust that you can do it! can go a long way!5.

Whats the writers purpose of writing this passage? _A. To show the importance of encouragement.B. To build a close teacher-student relationship.C. To introduce a new way of sports training.D. To explain the value of sports and games.8. Who is the passage mainly written for? _A. Players.B. Teachers.C. Parents.D. Students.CAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.9. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _ .A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. through environment of ones family10. If a child is born with high intelligence, he can _ .A. surely become a geniusB. still become a genius if he isnt given good educationC. reach his intelligence limits through his own effortsD. probably reach his intelligence limits in rich and varied surroundings11. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _ .A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays12. The best title of the passage can be _ .A. On IntelligenceB. On GeniusC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education on IntelligenceDThe Spring Festival is the biggest festival for Chinese people all around the world. The celebration usually lasts for 15 days.
