Every Saturday night, all through that lazy spring, I used to take a rose to Miss Caroline Wellford. Every Saturday night, rain or shine, at exactly eight o’clock.
Miss Caroline was abandoned by her future husband Jeffrey Pinniman who married Christine Marlowe, a younger and prettier girl. It almost became a scandal (丑闻) in our town. Miss Caroline could hear unkind things about her everywhere she went. For six months she had shut herself up in her house and seemed determined to turn herself into an odd old maid. She looked like a ghost that night when I delivered the first rose. “Hello, Jimmy,” she said listlessly (无精打采地). When I handed her the box, she looked shocked — “For me ”
Again the next Saturday, at exactly the same time, I found myself delivering another rose to Miss Caroline. The third time she opened the door so quickly that I knew she must have been waiting. There was a little color in her cheeks and her hair no longer looked so straggly (散乱地).
The morning after my fourth trip to her house, Miss Caroline played the organ again in church. She held her head high with the rose pinned to her blouse. Week after week I delivered the rose, and gradually Miss Caroline returned her normal life.
When I made my final trip to Miss Caroline’s house, I said, as I handed her the box, “This is the last time I’ll bring this, Miss Caroline.” She hesitated and invited me to come in and handed me a model of a sailing ship, exquisitely (精巧地) carved. She said. “I’d like you to have it. You’ve brought me great happiness, Jimmy — you and your roses.”
Fleeing back to the shop, I looked in the file where Mr. Olsen kept his untidy records, and I found what I was looking for. “Pinniman,” it said.
The years went by, and one day I came again to Olsen’s flower shop. My old boss and I talked a while. Out of curiosity, I asked, “D’you suppose that Mrs. Pinniman ever knew her husband was sending flowers to his old flame ” “Jeffrey Pinniman never even knew about it.” Mr. Olsen smiled, “It is a lady who said she wasn’t going to sit around watching Miss Caroline make a martyr (长期受折磨者) of herself at her expense.”
4. Who is the person that sent the rose
A. Miss Caroline. B. Mrs. Pinniman. C. Mr. Olsen. D. Jeffery Pinniman.
5. What can we learn from the passage
A. Deserted by her husband, Caroline lived in a mess.
B. People in the town all show great sympathy for Miss Caroline.
C. Jimmy had thought Jeffery Pinniman sent roses to Miss Caroline.
D. Christine put an end to the marriage of Miss Caroline and Jeffery Pinniman.
6. Which of the following can best describe Christine Marlowe
A. Kind and considerate. B. Awful and selfish.
C. Active and helpful. D. Thoughtful and patient.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A Poor Woman. B. A Special Saturday Night.
C. A rose from a stranger. D. A rose for Miss Caroline.
C
After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at your desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, or post-meals in general, is known as postprandial somnolence—or, colloquially, the food coma.
Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学): When humans eat, most of our blood goes to the digestive organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo, director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.
The tendency to get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive of something amiss (出错的). But there can be additional factors that worsen this natural response, making getting through the rest of the workday or any activities feel like a slog. Here’s what to watch out for and how to make adjustments.
When it comes to why you feel overly tired after eating, a common cause is consuming meals that are heavy in terms of quantity or quality. Not eating breakfast can lead to overindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite difficult, Arévalo said.
Sometimes, however, the makeup of certain foods can contribute to tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient to digest because their molecules are much larger than those of protein or carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you had a meal high in fat—such as fried foods or pizza—that could make you feel tired. Meals high in added sugar or refined or highly processed carbohydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
“A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as well,” Arévalo said.
8 What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Blood is bad for the digestive organs.
B. Blood has varieties of tasks to carry out.
C. Eating habits have a great effect on health.
D. Eating too much can burden the digestive organs.
9 Which of the following can replace the underlined word “overindulging”
A. over-consuming B. overweight C. felling sleepy D. lacking energy
10. What is suggested by Kristin Kirkpatrick
A. Sugar cake. B. Pizza. C. Fried egg. D. Corn.
11. Why does the author write the passage
A. To present a new study. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To provide some guidance. D. To show a social phenomenon.
D
A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.
Autonomous vehicles can do more than just drive-they are able to sense their surroundings and upload information. A shared network gives orders to stop at a crossing based on traffic conditions.
The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. Drivers don’t have to check the traditional lights if the white one is on. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.
Simulated (模拟的) models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.
What kind of infrastructure (基础设施) is needed as self-driving technology thrives In an interview with China Surveying and Mapping magazine, Liu Jingnan at the Chinese Academy of Engineering shared his answers.
To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.
For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.
Other elements on the road need to be upgraded too. For example, road markings should be precise and readable for machines. Sensors should be built on sidewalks and roads to allow vehicles to predict potentially dangerous situations.
12. What is the purpose of adding a white light to traffic lights
A. To signal to self-driving cars when to stop.
B. To help driverless cars assess traffic conditions.
C. To tell human drivers to go after the cars in front.
D. To signal to human drivers to pass the cars ahead.
13. According to the article, what effect would the introduction of self-driving cars bring about
A. Increased road safety. B. Reduced fuel efficiency.
C. Less time stuck in traffic. D. Unpredictable traffic patterns.
14. What is a function of high-precision maps in self-driving technology
A. To calculate a safe speed for vehicles. B. To provide real-time weather updates.
C. To plan routes for autonomous vehicles. D. To offer real-time data on road conditions.
15. What does the author intend to prove in the second-to-last paragraph
A. The advantages of autonomous vehicles.
B. The role of the navigation system in self-driving cars.
C. The application of the infrastructure in self-driving cars.
D. The efficiency of self-driving cars handling emergencies.

The best way to learn new skills has been widely debated. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published Outliers, which introduced the so-called “10,000 hours rule” that states it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in a subject.
____16____Let’s break down what this involves.
You’re willing to learn from people you don’t like.
We tend to get annoyed with people who don’t share our view of the world.____17____That’s exactly why they offer opportunities to learn. You don’t need to buy into someone’s values about the world to learn from them and they can offer a new perspective.
____18____
Stick to one comfortable mode of learning is a bad idea. Master learners are willing to learn from lots of sources, including the following: technical dry books or manuals, YouTube or Instagram, calling or visiting people they don’t know, searching the internet and through friendships and social relationships.
You can reflect on your work and think outside of the box.
Master learners don’t just become good in their field. They think about what they learn in ways that aren’t focused on one topic. ____19____ They allow their minds to move in creative ways and connect seemingly diverse concepts and tools that other people don’t connect.
You approach learning with your learning objectives in mind.
I love learning about other people’s learning processes. I once watched a video made by a medical student who stopped going to lectures. She recognized that the lectures weren’t as efficient or effective as reading her own books.
Master learners don’t follow someone else’s learning plan. For example, they don’t use one learning app for hundreds of lessons without exploring other options. ____20____
A. You’re willing to try out different thinking styles.
B. You’re ready to learn through different modes and channels.
C. People who are different from us will tend to approach problems differently.
D. But from a psychological perspective, what makes someone a master learner
E. They develop their own learning plan based on their specific learning objectives.
F. The smartest, most creative people don’t rely solely on focus for getting things done.
G. To add to our learning, we’ll need to be willing to learn from people who we don’t personally like.

Many years ago, I lived in a densely populated old community in Northern California. There was a little girl named Grace that made me have a deeper understanding of the power of dreams.
I used to watch her from my kitchen window, who seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.
I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.
I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said without a moment of hesitation “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to restart the routine I had seen over and over again.
Well, she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.

Every Saturday night, all through that lazy spring, I used to take a rose to Miss Caroline Wellford. Every Saturday night, rain or shine, at exactly eight o’clock.
Miss Caroline was abandoned by her future husband Jeffrey Pinniman, who married Christine Marlowe, a younger and prettier girl. It almost became a scandal (丑闻) in our town. Miss Caroline could hear unkind things about her everywhere she went. For six months she had shut herself up in her house and seemed determined to turn herself into an odd old maid. She looked like a ghost that night when I delivered the first rose. “Hello, Jimmy,” she said listlessly (无精打采地). When I handed her the box, she looked shocked — “For me ”
Again the next Saturday, at exactly the same time, I found myself delivering another rose to Miss Caroline. The third time she opened the door so quickly that I knew she must have been waiting. There was a little color in her cheeks and her hair no longer looked so straggly (散乱地).
The morning after my fourth trip to her house, Miss Caroline played the organ again in church. She held her head high with the rose pinned to her blouse. Week after week I delivered the rose, and gradually Miss Caroline returned her normal life.
When I made my final trip to Miss Caroline’s house, I said, as I handed her the box, “This is the last time I’ll bring this, Miss Caroline.” She hesitated and invited me to come in and handed me a model of a sailing ship, exquisitely (精巧地) carved. She said. “I’d like you to have it. You’ve brought me great happiness, Jimmy — you and your roses.”
Fleeing back to the shop, I looked in the file where Mr. Olsen kept his untidy records, and I found what I was looking for. “Pinniman,” it said.
The years went by, and one day I came again to Olsen’s flower shop. My old boss and I talked a while. Out of curiosity, I asked, “D’you suppose that Mrs. Pinniman ever knew her husband was sending flowers to his old flame ” “Jeffrey Pinniman never even knew about it.” Mr. Olsen smiled, “It is a lady who said she wasn’t going to sit around watching Miss Caroline make a martyr (长期受折磨者) of herself at her expense.”
4. Who is the person that sent the rose
A. Miss Caroline. B. Mrs. Pinniman. C. Mr. Olsen. D. Jeffery Pinniman.
5. What can we learn from the passage
A. Deserted by her husband, Caroline lived in a mess.
B. People in the town all show great sympathy for Miss Caroline.

After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at your desk.
Feeling tired after lunch, or post-meals in general, is known as postprandial somnolence—or, colloquially, the food coma.
Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学): When humans eat, most of our blood goes to the digestive organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo, director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.
The tendency to get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive of something amiss (出错的). But there can be additional factors that worsen this natural response, making getting through the rest of the workday or any activities feel like a slog. Here’s what to watch out for and how to make adjustments.
When it comes to why you feel overly tired after eating, a common cause is consuming meals that are heavy in terms of quantity or quality. Not eating breakfast can lead to overindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite difficult, Arévalo said.
Sometimes, however, the makeup of certain foods can contribute to tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient to digest because their molecules are much larger than those of protein or carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you had a meal high in fat—such as fried foods or pizza—that could make you feel tired. Meals high in added sugar or refined or highly processed carbohydrates can have the same effect.
The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.
“A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as well,” Arévalo said.
8. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Blood is bad for the digestive organs.
B. Blood has varieties of tasks to carry out.
C. Eating habits have a great effect on health.
D. Eating too much can burden the digestive organs.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “overindulging”
A. over-consuming B. overweight C. felling sleepy D. lacking energy
10. What is suggested by Kristin Kirkpatrick
A. Sugar cake. B. Pizza. C. Fried egg. D. Corn.
11. Why does the author write the passage
A. To present a new study. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To provide some guidance. D. To show a social phenomenon.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是午后犯困的原因，并给出了一些建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When humans eat, most of our blood goes to the digestive organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo, director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.(纽约州蒙特菲奥里·尼亚克医院的社区健康和保健主任Sandra Arévalo说，当人类吃东西时，我们的大部分血液都流向消化器官来处理食物。)”可知，人类吃东西时，血液会参与消化食物，由此可知，血液肩负着多种任务。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite difficult, Arévalo said.( Arévalo说，如果过度的饥饿使你难以控制食欲。)”可知，过度的饥饿会让你难以控制食欲，结合划线单词前的“Not eating breakfast can lead to(不吃早餐可能会导致……)”可知，早上不吃早饭同样会导致难以控制食欲，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“过多吃东西”意义相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”可知，Kristin Kirkpatrick认为，玉米可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，会给你更稳定、更持久的能量，这样就不会犯困，所以，Kristin Kirkpatrick应该是推荐玉米。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at your desk.(忙碌了一个上午之后，午餐就像是你需要的提神剂——但有时你以为会让你精力充沛的午餐却让你想在办公桌前打个盹。)”可知，午餐后人们想在办公桌上打盹，引出本文的话题，根据第三段中的“Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学)(这种现象的部分原因是基本生理学)”以及下文中讲述了午餐后犯困的原因可知，本文分析了出现午餐后犯困的原因，结合倒数第二段中的“The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.(克利夫兰诊所的注册营养师Kristin Kirkpatrick说，玉米等所谓天然食物中的纤维可以减缓身体对糖的吸收，这意味着它们不会导致血糖或胰岛素飙升，而是给你更稳定、更持久的能量。)”以及尾段““A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as well,” Arévalo said.( “五分钟的步行或其他活动也有助于改善血液循环和警觉性，”arsamuvalo说。)”可知，本文对午餐后犯困提出了一些相对应的建议，改变一下饮食以及午餐后参加一些活动有助于改善血液循环，由此可知，本文从列举现象，到分析原因，直至最后给提出相应的建议，所以本文的目的是给人们提供一些指导。故选C项。
D
A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.
Autonomous vehicles can do more than just drive-they are able to sense their surroundings and upload information. A shared network gives orders to stop at a crossing based on traffic conditions.
The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. Drivers don’t have to check the traditional lights if the white one is on. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.
Simulated (模拟的) models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.
What kind of infrastructure (基础设施) is needed as self-driving technology thrives In an interview with China Surveying and Mapping magazine, Liu Jingnan at the Chinese Academy of Engineering shared his answers.
To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.
For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.
Other elements on the road need to be upgraded too. For example, road markings should be precise and readable for machines. Sensors should be built on sidewalks and roads to allow vehicles to predict potentially dangerous situations.
12. What is the purpose of adding a white light to traffic lights
A. To signal to self-driving cars when to stop.
B. To help driverless cars assess traffic conditions.
C To tell human drivers to go after the cars in front.
D. To signal to human drivers to pass the cars ahead.
13. According to the article, what effect would the introduction of self-driving cars bring about
A. Increased road safety. B. Reduced fuel efficiency.
C. Less time stuck in traffic. D. Unpredictable traffic patterns.
14. What is a function of high-precision maps in self-driving technology
A. To calculate a safe speed for vehicles. B. To provide real-time weather updates.
C. To plan routes for autonomous vehicles. D. To offer real-time data on road conditions.
15. What does the author intend to prove in the second-to-last paragraph
A. The advantages of autonomous vehicles.
B. The role of the navigation system in self-driving cars.
C. The application of the infrastructure in self-driving cars.
D. The efficiency of self-driving cars handling emergencies.
【答案】12 C 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员在最近的一篇论文中指出，交通信号灯可能会增加第四种颜色，以更好地发挥自动驾驶汽车的潜力。文章介绍了第四种颜色的作用以及自动驾驶汽车对交通的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.(该研究的作者之一Ali Hajbabaie在接受该大学网站采访时表示：“白灯会告诉司机，只要跟着前面的车走就行了。”)”可知，交通灯加白灯的目的是告诉人类司机跟上前面的车。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.(自动驾驶车辆在十字路口的比例越高，交通移动速度越快，可以减少大约40%到99%的总延误时间)”可知，自动驾驶汽车的引入会减少堵在路上得时间。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.(首先，收集环境数据并与其他车辆共享数据的车辆网络需要是智能的。自动驾驶汽车需要高精度地图来详细规划路线。它们既可以提供传统地图上的最新信息，也可以提供事故等实时变化)”可知，高精度地图在自动驾驶技术中的作用是提供道路状况的实时数据。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.(例如，当行驶在弯道上时，车内的导航系统需要根据地图上的信息计算出安全速度。如果该地区有雾，网络必须警告其他车辆减速)”可推知，作者想在倒数第二段证明基础设施在自动驾驶汽车中的应用。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many years ago, I lived in a densely populated old community in Northern California. There was a little girl named Grace that made me have a deeper understanding of the power of dreams.
I used to watch her from my kitchen window, who seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.
I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.
I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said without a moment of hesitation “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to restart the routine I had seen over and over again.
Well, she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head buried in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply. “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. “My father said they just did not understand the power of a dream.” “Crace,” I said, “What your father told you is right. Nothing could stop you except one thing– your own attitude.” Looking directly into my eyes, she said, “You’re right. I’m not going to let this stop me.” She got up and walked back towards the court. I watched as she picked up the basketball and began to shoot again. She continued to work hard and believed in herself. In the end, she received a full scholarship to play college basketball and became one of the best players on her team. She made me firmly believe if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.
