Lamine Yamal’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He was born to a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother, and his early life was affected by the separation of his parents. He was raised in a not-so-wealthy area in Mataró, by the sea in Spain. Even though life was tough, soccer became his way out and eventually led him to become well-known. At just 15 years old, he made history as Barcelona’s youngest player ever to make their debut (首秀), even more impressive than legends like Pelé and Lionel Messi in terms of rapid rise in the sport. When he scored a goal, he would make a special hand gesture to signify “304”, which represented the neighborhood he grew up in.
It’s easy to forget just how young Yamal is. At 16, he required special permission under German law to play in evening matches and had a guardian (保卫者) with him at all times due to his age. But his age didn’t hold him back; instead, it showed how talented he is. A 2-1 victory in the Euro 2024 final made him a star as Spain’s teenage genius. He played a big part in the team’s success; his goal was what helped Spain win against France in the semi-final, and he also helped his teammate Nico Williams score the first goal in the final.
Yamal’s energy and the fact that he’s hard to predict are important for the Spanish team. He representsa big change in soccer, where young players are breaking the rules with their talent and determination. His story serves as an inspiration, reminding us that greatness often comes from the most unexpected places, and that with passion (热情) and strong will, even the youngest among us can do amazing things.
4. Why does the author mention Pelé and Messi
A. To compare different great players.
B. To show Yamal’s outstanding talent.
C. To discuss their influence on Yamal.
D. To highlight the importance of peers.
5. What can be inferred about Yamal from the second paragraph
A. He has struggled to gain attention due to his young age.
B. His age has stopped him from showing his skills to the fullest.
C. He single-handedly ensured Spain’s victory in the Euro 2024 final.
D. He was not allowed to play in night games without special permission.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Lamine Yamal
A. Energetic and honest.
B. Determined and talented.
C. Passionate and responsible.
D. Traditional and strong-willed.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The Inspiring Journey of Lamine Yamal in Soccer.
B. The challenges Lamine Yamal faced in his early life.
C. The comparison between Yamal and other football stars.
D. The importance of youthful energy in achieving greatness in football.
C
Psychological avoidance (心理回避) or avoiding emotions, a common way to escape painful and uncomfortable thoughts, feelings or situations, can harm the emotional well - being and personal growth of high school freshmen. Actually, psychological avoidance can lead to increased levels of anxiety and stress. Avoiding fears and worries only allows them to grow stronger.
By avoiding challenging situations it prevents students from developing important skills, limiting their opportunities for self-discovery and improvement. The famous author J. K. Rowling once said, “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so carefully that you might as well not have lived at all.”
Psychological avoidance directly affects how well students do in their studies. Freshmen who turn to avoidance will always procrastinate, or even miss deadlines. By avoiding the necessary efforts and tasks required for learning, students may struggle to gain information, reducing the opportunity to succeed in grades.
Psychological avoidance can also cause stress or discomfort to relationships. High school students may avoid discussing their feelings with friends or family members, leading to misunderstandings and a breakdown in communication. Instead of dealing with their emotions, they hold back or hide themselves. Students miss out on the chance to deepen their connections with friends, family and peers (同龄人), making it harder for them to form healthy relationships.
Psychological avoidance may provide comfort for a short period, but in the long run it can have negative impacts on our mental health, personal growth, academic performance, relationships and other aspects of life. Breaking free from avoidance behaviors is important for academic success and self-confidence, and recognizing the harmful effects of avoidance is the first step.
8. J. K. Rowling might agree that by avoiding challenging situations, ______.
A. we fail to discover our thoughts and feelings.
B. we can avoid failing at something more easily.
C. we miss out on valuable learning experiences.
D. we have opportunities to avoid fears and worries.
9. What does the underlined word “procrastinate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Put off tasks. B. Escape from reality.
C. Miss out on chances. D. Get out of control.
10. How does psychological avoidance affect students’ ability to form healthy relationships
A. It leads to difficult discussions.
B. It stops their connections with others.
C. It makes them fail to make new friends.
D. It causes them to escape further communication.
11. What will the following paragraph probably talk about
A. The harmful effects of psychological avoidance.
B. The forms of psychological avoidance behaviors.
C. The strategies of overcoming psychological avoidance.
D. The importance of breaking free from avoidance behaviors.
D
As we age, the quality of our sleep experiences great changes, which are likely to increase our risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia (痴呆). A recent study has shown how the loss of slow-wave sleep — a very important stage for brain health — related to an increased risk of developing dementia over time.
Slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep, is the third stage of the sleep cycle. It’s during this period that the brain plays an active role in restorative processes (恢复过程), including the clearance of unwanted or materials that could hurt, such as beta-amyloid protein. This protein is especially important for us to know about Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia.
In the study led by Matthew P. Pase, an associate professor of psychology and neurology at Monash University in Australia, researchers discovered that aging was related to a noticeable decrease in the amount of slow-wave sleep. Moreover, people experiencing greater reductions in slow-wave sleep over time exhibited a higher risk of developing dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up.
Dr. Richard Isaacson, director of research at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Florida, stressed the importance of these findings. He highlighted that slow-wave sleep is considered the most restorative period for the brain. The study points up the importance of not just monitoring the total hours of sleep but also focusing on the quality of sleep to reduce the risk of cognitive (认知的) decline and dementia.
This research adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that sleep quality plays an important role in maintaining cognitive health. As we continue to uncover the mysteries of sleep and its impact on the brain, actions aimed at improving sleep quality could possibly become a key factor in the prevention and management of dementia.
In conclusion, the study serves as a powerful reminder of the close connection between sleep and brain health. By highlighting sleep quality and seeking medical advice when experiencing sleep issues, people can take preventative steps towards safeguarding their cognitive well-being as they age.
12. What is the main focus of the study discussed in the passage
A. Aging and sleep quality in relation to neurodegenerative diseases.
B. The effectiveness of various sleep medications for slow-wave sleep.
C. The role of diet in preventing dementia and other cognitive problems.
D. The benefits of physical exercise for improving sleep quality in older adults.
13. Which of the following factors may lead to dementia
A. High-quality sleep. B. Harmful materials.
C. Beta-amyloid protein. D. A large amount of sleep.
14. What do the researchers suggest readers do
A. People should maintain a good living environment.
B People should take measures to prevent the aging process.
C. People should be aware of the connection between sleep and brain well-being.
D. People should highlight seeking medical support as they notice health problems.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Impact of Aging on Sleep Patterns.
B. The Benefits of Deep Sleep for Brain Health.
C. Highlighting Sleep Quality to Prevent Aging.
D. Improving Sleep Quality to Guard Against Dementia.
