It was a cold and cloudy afternoon at the end of winter. I put on my hockey pads, picked up my bag and ran towards the car. My heart was racing because I was getting ready to try out for the Boston Junior Team.
"Dad," as we drove, I said, "I'm really nervous. Will I make it "
"You'll do fine, Emily," he said to me comfortingly. "I know what kind of player you are. No matter what, give your all."
"OK," I answered.
When I arrived at the rink (冰场), I greeted some friends who were also trying out. I tied my skates and carefully stepped out onto the ice. After a while, we were divided into two teams, and the match started. I tried to stay focused but still felt nervous. I messed up a few times. Sometimes I passed too early, took a bad shot, or didn't make a play I probably should have. I felt like my skates had minds of their own, but I remembered what my dad said: I should give my all. I kept trying to make the best play possible. My dad's words pushed me to keep going.
After the match, some players were pleased, while others seemed to be in the same situation as me, feeling like their playing was awful. I got home and told my parents that I didn't think I would make the team, and I went to sleep without dinner.
As I was eating breakfast the next morning, my mother, to my surprise, walked into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face.
"The coach just emailed me. You've made it!" she said excitedly.
I was so relieved (如释重负) and shocked at the same time. I got up and hugged her, then read the email for myself, still unable to believe it was true.
That day, I realized that I may not be the most talented person there, but if I try my hardest, I can do anything.

Before the invention of air-conditioning, southern China's skywells played a key role in keeping people's homes cool. Could they do it again today
A skywell, or "tian jing", is a typical feature（特色）of a traditional home in southern and eastern China, which can date back to Ming and Qing dynasties. A skywell is almost always in the center of a house. It is enclosed by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. It acts as a transitional（过渡的）space between indoor life and the outdoor environment.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. As the cool outdoor air travels down the walls to the lower storeys, it replaces warmer indoor air, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. Even when there is no natural wind, air circulation（循环）still takes place, because the temperature is different between the top and bottom of the skywell. Moreover, another part of the cooling effect comes from the evaporation（蒸发）of water. People collect rainwater in their skywells, and when the water evaporates, it cools hot air.
Today, although fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses, some designers take a new interest in the traditional Chinese buildings. They are getting creative ideas from skywells to help keep new buildings cooler. One example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, which was completed in 2022. The 18-storey glass-walled tower block has a huge skywell in the middle, from the fifth to the top floor. The lifts, toilets and meeting rooms are all set around the skywell, which helps improve the lighting and air circulation of the building and cut the overall use of energy.
Although ancient "green wisdom" like skywells has caught more attention of modern Chinese people, there are some challenges for bringing skywells into modern designs. For one thing, traditional skywells highly depend on their natural conditions, like how much sunlight or rainfall in the area, so adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to fully consider their projects' situations. Meanwhile, lighting, air conditioning and water supply have become so convenient that we depend on them with little care about the environmental cost. So it won't be easy to be green by learning from the past without considering our present behaviours.
17.What do we know about skywells
A. Skywells are typical in western China.
B. Skywells are enclosed by glass on four sides.
C. Natural wind is kept out of the house by skywells.
D. Water evaporation in skywells takes the heat away.
18.Why does the writer mention the 18-storey glass-walled tower block in Paragraph 4
A. To show that skywell design can be creatively used in modern buildings.
B. To prove that modern skywells are different from the traditional ones.
C. To present how glass walls can improve the lighting of buildings.
D. To explain why fewer and fewer people live in skywell houses.
19.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Skywells: A Traditional Design to Be Protected
B. Skywells: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
C. Skywells: A Green Structure to Be Improved
D. Skywells: Modern Technology for City Lives
三、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
20. Science shows that there is a right way to build habits that last. Here are some tips to make exercise one of them.
Start small
A goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week may sound good. But how likely are you to follow through The bigger your goal is, the more likely you are to fail and give up. It's better to start with easy exercise goals you know you can achieve because you'll build self-confidence when you meet them. Then you can move on to bigger goals.
Use triggers
Triggers are simply reminders一activities, places, or objects一that kick off an automatic（自动的）reaction. They help you start exercising without thinking or making decisions. For example, the alarm clock goes off and you're out of the door for your walk. You spot your sports shoes right by the bed and you're up and running. Find ways to build triggers into your day to make exercise a no-brainer.
Reward（奖励）yourself
People who often exercise tend to do so because of the rewards it brings to their lives, such as more energy, better sleep and a greater sense of happiness. However, these can be long-term rewards. When you're starting an exercise program, it's important to give yourself immediate rewards if you successfully complete a workout. Choose something you look forward to, but don't allow yourself to do it until after exercise. It can be something as simple as having a hot bath or a favorite cup of coffee.
Choose exercise that makes you feel happy and confident
If your workout is unpleasant or makes you feel bad or unhappy, you're unlikely to stick with it. Don't choose exercise like running or lifting weights at the gym just because you think that's what you should do. Instead, pick activities that fit your lifestyle, abilities and taste.
