A
Students aiming to enter Tsinghua University this year had better be able to swim or be prepared to learn swimming and pass a swim test since the prestigious university will not grant bachelor’s degrees if they cannot swim.
This September,would-be freshmen at Tsinghua University will have to take swimming courses if they fail a swimming test at the beginning of their university life,and they won’t receive their degrees if they cannot swim before their graduation,in accordance with a message at a university staff meeting days ago,the Beijing Daily reported on Monday.
Potential freshmen with chronic diseases,skin disease or hydrophobia,once examined and affirmed by medical staff,don’t need to take the required test or course.Plans are for freshmen to take the test during their military training.In the test,students will pass the test if they can swim 50 meters,no matter whether they choose the breaststroke,butterfly stroke,freestyle or backstroke.Those failing the test have to take a compulsory swimming course.
“Now Tsinghua University will test students in long-distance running and swimming,so students with poor sports performance will have to overcome a lot of difficulties once they enter the university,” said a student surnamed Zhang from the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University.However,students don’t need to worry much,since Liu Bo,head of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education,said relevant statistics showed that 90 percent of students can swim after taking the compulsory swimming course in their second year of university,and the remaining 10 percent will receive instruction after class provided by teachers,without paying extra tuition.
And viewing the ability to swim as a must for students to earn their degrees is not something new in Tsinghua University,as this ability was listed on its school regulations in the early 20th century.“As early as 90 years ago,Tsinghua University required that students cannot graduate from the university or study overseas if they cannot swim,though the requirement didn’t work later on since the swimming pools at the campus could not accommodate increasingly more students,” said Liu.
As to why the university is linking swimming ability with degrees,“as a requisite survival skill,swimming is beneficial for students in the long run,since swimming is helpful in improving students’ endurance and doing less harm to joints and muscles as a water sport,” said Liu.
1.Who are required to take swimming courses at Tsinghua University
A.Students who can only swim 30 meters.
B.Students with chronic diseases,skin disease or hydrophobia.
C.Students who cannot do butterfly stroke but are able to do freestyle.
D.Students who pass the swimming test at the beginning of their university life.
2.If a students doesn’t pass the swimming test in their second year,he will .
A.not receive their degrees
B.not graduate from the university
C.spend extra money to receive instruction from teachers
D.practice swimming with teachers’ guidance until he could make it
3.Why the requirement 90 years ago didn’t work later
A.Because many students needed to study overseas.
B.Because there were not enough swimming pools for students.
C.Because many students couldn’t graduate from the university.
D.Because the campus couldn’t accommodate increasingly more students.
4.According to Liu,what’s the reason for linking swimming ability with degrees
A.It does no harm to our body.
B.It builds our joints and muscles.
C.It can strengthen our willpower.
D.It is beneficial for students’ running.

Perhaps there is no sport in the world more connected to sneakers than basketball.Many NBA players wear them to send important messages and showcase their personalities on court.
And now,thanks to a new policy,the NBA will strengthen its status as the most stylish sports league in the world.When the 2018-2019 NBA season kicked off in October,the NBA lifted its colour restrictions on players’ sneakers.It is the first time in the league’s 72-year history that it has allowed shoes to be of any colour a player likes,as long as no reflective (反光的)material is included.
In the past,the NBA required “uniformity (一致性)of uniform”,meaning each player’s shoes had to match those worn by the rest of the team.Their sneakers had to be at least 51 percent black or white,with an element of team colour.
This landmark rule change is part of the NBA’s collective effort to support players “statements” on and off the court.“More and more people realize that limitation of the colour of players’ shoes actually constrains (限制)their personal expression and storytelling,” CNN News noted.
Sometimes a shoe was worn in a memorable game,or the design of a shoe has meaning for the player.
Before Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant,nicknamed “the Black Mamba”,retired,it was said that he wore a new pair of sneakers to each game and stored his used sneakers.
Bryant brought the low-top style of sneaker with a Mamba print to the forefront in 2008 to symbolize the spirit of perseverance and bravery.In 2013,Bryant added nine red stitches (缝针)to the back of his shoe to represent the nine stitches from his Achilles tendon surgery.“It has become an attitude.That is my Mamba personality,” Bryant told Sports Illustrated magazine.
Kyrie Irving of the Boston,Celtics wears probably the most famous signature sneakers.Inspired by his mother,who died when he was four,he has a rose on one side of his shoe to represent her.All of his sneakers are also inscribed (刻)with the words,“JBY (Just Be You)”.“Just Be You is the motto I live by every single day,because I’m happy to be an individual.It’s a beautiful thing,” Irving told UK media site GiveMeSport.
There is no end to the stories about sneakers in basketball.It’s certain that they will remain a platform for players who want to use them to express their ideas and personalities.
1.According to the new policy,the NBA players .
A.may choose sneakers they like without restriction
B.should wear sneakers in their own team colour
C.have to choose sneakers either in black or in white
D.have more freedom in choosing personal sneakers
2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A.Uniformity guarantees better results.
B.The new rule leads to controversy.
C.The NBA cares little about players’ statements.
D.Players’ personal expression also counts.
3.Which of the following is used to express family value
A.A rose. B.JBY.
C.A Mamba print. D.Nine red stitches.

After her first surgery,Paige continues to exceed all expectations,both with confronting her new physical challenges and having an amazing mental outlook on the future.She knows it is going to be a challenge,she knows that and welcomes it.
She said, “I want people to see that I’m doing alright and that I am still going to be able to do all the stuff that other people can do.” She added that she had been touched by the messages of support she had received,in particular from other survivors of shark bites and amputees.

What is the connection between violence and sports Psychologists(心理学家) say that there are many reasons for violence at sports events.One is alcohol(酒精). 1 When people drink,they are more likely to do abnormal things.Psychologist Dennis Brock says,“Quiet people become loud.Normally nonviolent people become destructive.”
David Sampson,a sports sociologist,agrees.“These are often celebratory riots(暴乱)— a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol.They don’t often seem dangerous in the beginning,but things get violent quickly.”
2 When individuals are in a large group of people,they can lose their sense of personal responsibility.Edward Hirt,a social psychologist,says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone.People in crowds feel that no one knows who they are.Crowds also make people feel powerful.They stop making personal decisions. 3 Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality”.
Dave Zarifis,head of public safety at Northern Iowa University says,“Some people don’t even come to celebrate. 4 Someone does something stupid,and it grows from there.You get a mob mentality.People think it’s OK to do almost anything.They think,‘There are so many of us and not enough of them.’ ”
Social psychologist Dr Sharon Kennedy says that there are a few things officials can do to prevent violence. 5 Officials should also think of games as “big parties”. Then they will prepare differently.Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums.“When you know someone is watching,you are much less likely to behave badly.”
A.They just follow the crowd.
B.Many fans drink a lot at games.
C.They want to drink hard and make trouble.
D.Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd itself.
E.Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important.
F.Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there.
G.Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing the same thing.

When someone has 1. (deep)hurt you,it can be very difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly 2.(benefit)to your physical and mental health.So far,studies 3.

Once there was a little girl named Emily.Although her singing was very pleasant to hear,lacking of courage,she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer,the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition.Her best friend,Lucy,came to invite her to participate in the competition,but Emily said,“I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said,“It’s okay;just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try.The day came.Emily and Lucy went to the competition site.But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage.She had been waiting until others finished singing.She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage.She started to sing,but her voice was so low.What’s worse,she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words.Being laughed at by others,embarrassed and shy,she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said,“Emily,coward (胆小鬼)!Emily,coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them.What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.Finally,she rushed into the house,hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well,my poor girl,don’t cry.Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom.Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her,her mom cupped her face and said,“It doesn’t matter,girl.As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers,you will become braver little by little.So,my girl,don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day.No matter who is listening to you,go on singing and never stop.I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
Paragraph 2:
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.

Once there was a little girl named Emily.Although her singing was very pleasant to hear,lacking of courage,she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer,the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition.Her best friend,Lucy,came to invite her to participate in the competition,but Emily said,“I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said,“It’s okay;just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try.The day came.Emily and Lucy went to the competition site.But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage.She had been waiting until others finished singing.She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage.She started to sing,but her voice was so low.What’s worse,she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words.Being laughed at by others,embarrassed and shy,she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said,“Emily,coward (胆小鬼)!Emily,coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them.What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.Finally,she rushed into the house,hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well,my poor girl,don’t cry.Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom.Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her,her mom cupped her face and said,“It doesn’t matter,girl.As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers,you will become braver little by little.So,my girl,don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day.No matter who is listening to you,go on singing and never stop.I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
Paragraph 2:
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing.
