Tod Morgan was born blind, mentally challenged, and autistic. So he couldn't see, he could not learn like other children, and he didn't interact with people very much. He did not seem to have much of a chance. Then, when he was two years old, he began to play little songs on his tiny toy piano. He could play perfectly some of the children's tunes he had heard.
Today, Tod works as a professional pianist. He plays jazz, Broadway songs, and classical pieces. After hearing a tune, he can imitate it almost perfectly the first time he plays it. He doesn't only imitate; Tod is creative too. He can change a classical piece to a jazz, a jazz to a polka, and a polka to a waltz. In addition to the p1ano, Tod plays 13 other instruments and also sings. Tod's list of musical heroes includes Louis Armstrong, Mozart, and Beethoven. How can this be How can such a severely challenged person be so musically talented
Tod has what is called "savant syndrome'' ---a condition in which a mentally challenged person has a tightly developed talent of a specific kind. Savant syndrome is a mystery to medical researchers. One person who is studying savant syndrome is Dr. David Brighton. He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod. Most musical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear. Dr. Brighton points out that Tod's ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization.

When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习),are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Ship-ley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge (承诺)" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out with people. 1 thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.
1.What does the underlined word "jarring" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.natural B.disturbing C.necessary D.reasonable
2.Why does the author describe Andrew Chen's experience in the text
A.To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B.To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C.To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D.To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
3.Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to
A.Friends who are worried and bored.
B.Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C.Younger generations trying to contribute.
D.Young people who are not aware of the situation.
4.What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"
A.To convince young people to stay at home.
B.To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
C.To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D.To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages(流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison's blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
"Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it," Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It's an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it." Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. "I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
1.Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could
A.Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B.Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C.Because his blood is valuable.
D.Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A.Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B.Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C.Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison's donations.
D.Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison's crazy behavior.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Harrison's retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B.After Harrison's retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C.Harrison's influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D.A library has been built for the study of Harrison's DNA.
4.Which word can best describe Harrison
A.Patient. B.Diligent. C.Talented. D.Devoted.

Accompanied by her father, using a combination of aid and free climbing and taking advantage of some special equipment and ropes for protection, 10-year-old Selah made it to the top of El Capitan on June 12 after five days of big wall climbing.
Climbing the challenging and adventurous Nose route of El Capitan was a labor of love for Selah in more than one way. Her parents, Mike and Joy Schneiter, fell in love on this 3,000- plus-foot huge rock and she has always wanted to feel the way that her parents felt when they were up there together. Selah showed great interest in rock climbing at an early age. She wore her first rock-climbing equipment shortly after she learned to walk. She first dreamed of climbing El Capitan when she was 6 or 7.
El Capitan is a famous mountain-sized rock in Yosemite National Park. Getting to its top is no easy task. It's taller, as reported, than the tallest building in the world-Dubai's Buri Khalifa. El Capitan and its difficult Nose route, which runs more than 3,000 feet high up the center of the rock's face, is considered one of the world's hardest big wall climbs and has attracted the best climbers over time. But never before had a youngster accomplished it.
Selah's achievement caught national attention. Outside Magazine called her the youngest documented person to climb the Nose. Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he also couldn't think of anyone younger who has done it.
Selah is humble about her El Capitan accomplishment. "I'm not necessarily a special kid or anything like that", she said. "There were a few times when I would be so worn that it would kind of discourage me from holding on. But overall, it was just great to keep plugging away."
Selah shared this advice for other young climbers dreaming of big walls, "It doesn't take necessarily a super special person to do something like that. You just have to put your mind to it."
1.What do we learn about Selah climbing El Capitan
A.She began her climbing on June 5. B.She got inspired by her family history.
C.She managed without any external help. D.She was the first female to reach the top.
2.What is the purpose of paragraph 3
A.To state El Capitan's height. B.To prove El Capitan's popularity.
C.To introduce El Capitan's location. D.To stress the challenge of climbing El Capitan.
3.Which of the following best describes Selah
A.Determined. B.Generous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Fortunate.
4.What may be Selah's advice for other young climbers
A.Dream big and aim high. B.Be committed to your ambition.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.Nothing is impossible for a genius.

Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story. And acting is my number one passion.
At my old school, Poulsbo Elementary, I'd starred in every play from third grade on. Before that, gymnastics was my thing. But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. And after that, back flips just couldn't compare.
So when my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we'd be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play, I practically screamed out loud with excitement. I'd always wanted to play the role of Alice! In the story, Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird(怪异的) things happened. Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.
When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs(刺猬) in the play, my stomach started to ache! The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets(木槌) and then disappeared! But I clapped along with everyone else and pasted a fake smile on my face. Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.
Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs. When we were outside the classroom, Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. "I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts," said Ella. She raised her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.
"Yeah, I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat," said Tyler. He twirled(旋转) around with his hands clasped together above his head. Both of them seemed like good dancers.
Suddenly I had an idea.
My heart was pounding crazily. But at least I didn't have a stomachache anymore.
The first rehearsal finally came. Then came our cue.
"One...two...three," with the hedgehog costumes, we ran onstage in a line, steps synchronized(同步) and arms waving together. We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied(屈膝). She was so surprised that she almost forgot her next line.
The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella. When the mallet touched her, Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. "Wow," said everyone.
The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2—Tyler. Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. "Aah," said the cast, even louder than before.
The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me. When the mallet tapped me, I did three back flips. Everyone erupted into applause.
The three of us looked at each other. We knew we managed to surprise everyone by making small parts cool.
I still miss my friends in Poulsbo. But Seattle feels a lot less like the rabbit hole now, and a lot more like home.

17-year-old Dasia Taylor was named one of 40 finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the nation's most famous Science and math competition for high school seniors.
Dasia's sutures (缝合线) work by changing color if the patients' pH level changes, indicating an infection. pH is one of the most common parts of wound healing, Dasia said. It changes very quickly, so it's one of the fastest ways to recognize infection.
So, she started experimenting with root vegetables. "I found that beet changed color at the perfect pH point," says Taylor. "That's perfect for an infected wound. And so, I was like, 'Oh, okay. So beet is where it's at'." Beet provided the perfect dye for her invention, changing from bright red to dark purple when a surgical wound becomes infected. After more than a year of research, Taylor is working on getting her sutures patented.
She imagines these sutures being used in developing countries where they can save lives and money. "The goal of my project is to reduce the number of deadly surgical site infections in developing countries because developing countries suffer from the most number of deaths due to surgical site infections," she said. "I was like there is no way that that should be happening. The equity part of my brain and all the work that I do around equity was like 'That shouldn't be happening. They should have the resources to save their citizens in their country.' So, my goal is to work on that and make sure that it can actually discover those types of infections and stuff." After graduation, Dasia hopes to attend Howard University, study political science and finally become a lawyer.

A.By observing the pH test paper.
B.Through the doctors' examination.
C.By looking at sutures' color changing.
D.By observing how the wound changes.
2.What did Dasia discover in her experiment
A.Beet has the same pH level.
B.Beet can change color at different times.
C.Beet therapy is good for wound healing.
D.Beet can be used to help her with the invention.
3.What can we learn about Dasia
A.She has won the invention patent.
B.She became the winner of the Regeneron STS.
C.She made contributions to surgical infection recognition.
D.She helped save lots of lives and money in developing countries.
4.What will Dasia's future career probably involve
A.Medical and health work. B.Medical device development.
C.Something about the legal aid. D.Medical and science research.

Halfway through the women's slalom (障碍滑雪赛) event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women's slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at top speed, zigzagging (曲折行进) around the poles. Suddenly, her left ski slid out, causing her to temporarily lose control. It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain, out of her reach. But in the blink of an eye, Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run. She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela's life. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques. When Mikaela was 11, she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers.
According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer, "What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now." At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds. And she won! By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting, core body work, and biking to improve her strength and agility.
"If you're passionate about your goals, whatever they are," she says, "there's no limit to what you can achieve. Give it your all!"
1.What happened to Mikaela at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games

Tod Morgan was born blind, mentally challenged, and autistic. So he couldn't see, he could not learn like other children, and he didn't interact with people very much. He did not seem to have much of a chance. Then, when he was two years old, he began to play little songs on his tiny toy piano. He could play perfectly some of the children's tunes he had heard.
Today, Tod works as a professional pianist. He plays jazz, Broadway songs, and classical pieces. After hearing a tune, he can imitate it almost perfectly the first time he plays it.

When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习),are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Ship-ley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge (承诺)" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out with people. 1 thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.
1.What does the underlined word "jarring" in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.natural B.disturbing C.necessary D.reasonable

3.Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to
A.Friends who are worried and bored.
B.Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C.Younger generations trying to contribute.
D.Young people who are not aware of the situation.
4.What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"
A.To convince young people to stay at home.
B.To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
C.To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D.To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages(流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison's blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
"Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it," Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It's an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it." Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. "I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
1.Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could
A.Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B.Because he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.
C.Because his blood is valuable.
D.Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
2.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A.Robyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B.Robyn Barlow was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C.Robyn Barlow was moved by Harrison's donations.
D.Robyn Barlow was frightened by Harrison's crazy behavior.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Harrison's retirement will not affect the Rh program.
B.After Harrison's retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C.Harrison's influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
D.A library has been built for the study of Harrison's DNA.
4.Which word can best describe Harrison
A.Patient. B.Diligent. C.Talented. D.Devoted.

Accompanied by her father, using a combination of aid and free climbing and taking advantage of some special equipment and ropes for protection, 10-year-old Selah made it to the top of El Capitan on June 12 after five days of big wall climbing.
Climbing the challenging and adventurous Nose route of El Capitan was a labor of love for Selah in more than one way. Her parents, Mike and Joy Schneiter, fell in love on this 3,000- plus-foot huge rock and she has always wanted to feel the way that her parents felt when they were up there together. Selah showed great interest in rock climbing at an early age. She wore her first rock-climbing equipment shortly after she learned to walk. She first dreamed of climbing El Capitan when she was 6 or 7.
El Capitan is a famous mountain-sized rock in Yosemite National Park. Getting to its top is no easy task. It's taller, as reported, than the tallest building in the world-Dubai's Buri Khalifa. El Capitan and its difficult Nose route, which runs more than 3,000 feet high up the center of the rock's face, is considered one of the world's hardest big wall climbs and has attracted the best climbers over time. But never before had a youngster accomplished it.
Selah's achievement caught national attention. Outside Magazine called her the youngest documented person to climb the Nose. Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he also couldn't think of anyone younger who has done it.
Selah is humble about her El Capitan accomplishment. "I'm not necessarily a special kid or anything like that", she said. "There were a few times when I would be so worn that it would kind of discourage me from holding on. But overall, it was just great to keep plugging away."
Selah shared this advice for other young climbers dreaming of big walls, "It doesn't take necessarily a super special person to do something like that. You just have to put your mind to it."
1.What do we learn about Selah climbing El Capitan
A.She began her climbing on June 5. B.She got inspired by her family history.

3.Which of the following best describes Selah
A.Determined. B.Generous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Fortunate.
4.What may be Selah's advice for other young climbers
A.Dream big and aim high. B.Be committed to your ambition.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.Nothing is impossible for a genius.

Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story. And acting is my number one passion.
At my old school, Poulsbo Elementary, I'd starred in every play from third grade on. Before that, gymnastics was my thing. But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. And after that, back flips just couldn't compare.
So when my sixth-grade teacher, Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we'd be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play, I practically screamed out loud with excitement. I'd always wanted to play the role of Alice! In the story, Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird(怪异的) things happened. Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.
When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs(刺猬) in the play, my stomach started to ache! The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets(木槌) and then disappeared! But I clapped along with everyone else and pasted a fake smile on my face. Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.
Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs. When we were outside the classroom, Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. "I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts," said Ella. She raised her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.
"Yeah, I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat," said Tyler. He twirled(旋转) around with his hands clasped together above his head. Both of them seemed like good dancers.
Suddenly I had an idea.
My heart was pounding crazily. But at least I didn't have a stomachache anymore.
The first rehearsal finally came. Then came our cue.
"One...two...three," with the hedgehog costumes, we ran onstage in a line, steps synchronized(同步) and arms waving together. We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied(屈膝). She was so surprised that she almost forgot her next line.
The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella. When the mallet touched her, Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. "Wow," said everyone.
The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2—Tyler. Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. "Aah," said the cast, even louder than before.
The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me. When the mallet tapped me, I did three back flips. Everyone erupted into applause.
The three of us looked at each other. We knew we managed to surprise everyone by making small parts cool.
I still miss my friends in Poulsbo. But Seattle feels a lot less like the rabbit hole now, and a lot more like home.

17-year-old Dasia Taylor was named one of 40 finalists in the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS), the nation's most famous Science and math competition for high school seniors.
Dasia's sutures (缝合线) work by changing color if the patients' pH level changes, indicating an infection. pH is one of the most common parts of wound healing, Dasia said. It changes very quickly, so it's one of the fastest ways to recognize infection.
So, she started experimenting with root vegetables. "I found that beet changed color at the perfect pH point," says Taylor. "That's perfect for an infected wound. And so, I was like, 'Oh, okay. So beet is where it's at'." Beet provided the perfect dye for her invention, changing from bright red to dark purple when a surgical wound becomes infected. After more than a year of research, Taylor is working on getting her sutures patented.
She imagines these sutures being used in developing countries where they can save lives and money. "The goal of my project is to reduce the number of deadly surgical site infections in developing countries because developing countries suffer from the most number of deaths due to surgical site infections," she said. "I was like there is no way that that should be happening. The equity part of my brain and all the work that I do around equity was like 'That shouldn't be happening. They should have the resources to save their citizens in their country.' So, my goal is to work on that and make sure that it can actually discover those types of infections and stuff." After graduation, Dasia hopes to attend Howard University, study political science and finally become a lawyer.
1.How can a patient quickly know if a wound is infected
A.By observing the pH test paper.
B.Through the doctors' examination.
C.By looking at sutures' color changing.
D.By observing how the wound changes.
2.What did Dasia discover in her experiment
A.Beet has the same pH level.
B.Beet can change color at different times.
C.Beet therapy is good for wound healing.

Halfway through the women's slalom (障碍滑雪赛) event at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin held a commanding lead over the greatest women's slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at top speed, zigzagging (曲折行进) around the poles. Suddenly, her left ski slid out, causing her to temporarily lose control. It seemed as if her dreams of a gold medal might slide down the mountain, out of her reach. But in the blink of an eye, Mikaela stopped her mini-skid and rocketed through the rest of her run. She became the youngest slalom skier ever to win an Olympic gold medal.
Skiing has always been a big part of Mikaela's life. At two and a half years old, Mikaela made her first ski run down her steep driveway on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, repeating hundreds of training runs on small hills to learn the correct techniques. When Mikaela was 11, she enrolled at the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers.
According to headmaster Kirk Dwyer, "What separated Mikaela from others was the degree of her commitment to be the best. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now." At age 14, Mikaela began her international career when she raced in the world championships for 13-and 14-year-olds. And she won! By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.
For Mikaela, working hard is a full-time job. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weightlifting, core body work, and biking to improve her strength and agility.
"If you're passionate about your goals, whatever they are," she says, "there's no limit to what you can achieve. Give it your all!"
