Rueben Mayes was born and raised in a farming community in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, where football was not a significant part of life. However, Mayes was naturally drawn to the sport, and his talent was apparent from an early age. His passion for football only grew stronger as he played for North Battleford Comprehensive High School under the mentorship of coach Don Hodgins, who recognized Mayes’ potential and took a personal interest in his development.
Hodgins’ support for Mayes extended far beyond the typical role of a high school coach. He saw something special in Mayes and wanted to ensure that he had every opportunity to succeed in the sport. Hodgins helped Mayes secure a place in a football camp in the US, which proved to be a turning point for the young athlete.

In the complex web of natural science, the study of biophotons (生物光子) has emerged as a mysterious field. Biophotons are extremely weak electromagnetic emissions, in the form of light photons, that are spontaneously emitted by living organisms. These emissions, although invisible to the naked eye, have been the subject of intense research in recent years, with implications stretching across multiple scientific disciplines.
The origin of biophotons remains a subject of debate among scientists. One theory holds that they result from quantum-mechanical (量子力学) processes in living organism cells, with electron excitation and relaxation in biological molecules releasing photons. Another hypothesis is that biophotons are involved in inter-cellular communication, as cells may use their faint light emissions for signaling, similar to an in-body optical communication system.
Researchers have been using highly sensitive detectors to measure biophotons, revealing astonishing findings. Different tissues and organs within the body emit biophotons with unique patterns like a healthy liver, differing from diseased one. This discovery makes biophoton analysis a potential non-invasive medical diagnostic tool, enabling doctors to detect diseases even before symptoms show.
However, the study of biophotons is not without its challenges. One major hurdle is the extremely low intensity of these emissions. Biophotons are many orders of magnitude weaker than the light we encounter in our daily lives, making their detection and measurement a technical feat. Additionally, separating biophotons from other forms of background radiation is a complex task. Scientists must use elaborate shielding and filtering techniques to isolate the biophotons and obtain accurate data.
Despite these challenges, the potential applications of biophoton research are vast. In agriculture, biophoton measurements could help farmers assess the health of their crops. By analyzing the biophoton emissions from plants, farmers could detect nutrient deficiencies or the presence of pests before visible signs of damage occur. This could lead to more sustainable farming practices and higher crop yields.
8.What is the primary characteristic of biophotons mentioned in the text
A.They are visible to the naked eye.
B.They are only emitted by diseased tissues.
C.Their intensity is comparable to daily-life light.
D.They are weak and invisible electromagnetic emissions.
9.How might biophotons be used in medicine according to the passage
A.To detect diseases early as a diagnostic tool. B.To treat diseases by emitting light into the body.
C.To communicate with patients during surgery. D.To replace traditional medical imaging techniques.
10.What is the technological challenge in studying biophotons
A.They can only be detected by the naked eye.
B.They are easily confused with background radiation.
C.Their high intensity makes them difficult to measure.
D.Their emission patterns are too complex to understand.
11.What can be inferred from the passage about biophoton research
A.It has already revolutionized the field of medicine.
B.The application in agriculture is more important than in medicine.
C.Despite difficulties, it holds great promise for various fields.
D.Scientists are about to overcome all the challenges in this field.
The illusion of control is a psychological concept where people think highly of their control over life events. In truth, much of our lives is determined by chance, like our genetics, family, birthplace, and random encounters. Those with good lives often credit their efforts, while those struggling blame bad luck. But many life situations are beyond our control, and our real power lies in how we react.
Knowing how to react to situations beyond our control is the essence of the 90-10 rule. The 90-10 rule, from Stephen Covey in the bestseller “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, states that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you, and 90% is decided by how you react.
Take the example of a coffee-spilling incident at breakfast. If you’re in business suit and your daughter spills coffee on you, scolding her can lead to a chain of negative events: Your daughter gets upset and misses her school bus. So you have to drive her to school, and because you’re speeding, you get a $180 ticket. You arrive at work late and the day spirals from there. When you get home from work, you have an annoyed family.
In an alternative universe, the coffee spills on your shirt, and you forgive your daughter. You change your shirt, your daughter makes the bus, and you get to work five minutes early. Now, instead of having a day that was out of control, a simple change in reaction can transform your day.
What happens when people skillfully respond to events out of their control over a long period Their lives will be completely different than if they chose to take things out of their control personally. Remember, you can’t control everything, but you can choose how you react to minor annoyances. Choose to respond in a skillful, thoughtful manner without taking things seriously, and you can quickly get past the minor annoyances without causing the adverse effect that can ruin your entire day.
12.Why do people experience the illusion of control
A.They are unaware of the 90-10 rule.
B.They blame bad luck for their struggles.
C.They overestimate their ability to influence life events.
D.They believe they can change their family background.
13.What does the underlined word “spirals” mean in paragraph 3
A.Get worse gradually. B.Develop in a positive way.
C.Stay the same without change. D.Progress in an orderly manner.
14.What is the impact of skillful reactions to minor annoyances over a long period
A.They can prevent minor annoyances.
B.They can help people avoid bad luck.
C.They can lead to a more positive outlook on life.
D.They can significantly change the track of one’s life.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.The Power of Chance in Our Lives B.How to Avoid Minor Annoyances in Life
C.The 90-10 Rule: Mastering Your Reactions D.The Illusion of Control: Debunking the Myth
In recent years, extreme sports have been gaining more and more popularity among people of all ages. 16 From the adrenaline-pumping excitement of skydiving to the precise balance required in rock climbing, extreme sports offer a unique experience that traditional sports often can’t match.
One of the main attractions of extreme sports is the sense of accomplishment they bring. Overcoming the challenges in extreme sports gives people a profound sense of achievement. For example, successfully completing a difficult rock-climbing route or landing a complex snowboarding trick gives athletes a feeling of pride and self-confidence. 17
Another appealing aspect is the freedom of self-expression. Unlike traditional team sports, extreme sports are often individual-based. 18 Whether it’s the way a skateboarder maneuvers through a skate park or how a surfer rides the waves, extreme sports allow for a high degree of self-expression.
However, extreme sports also come with significant risks. 19 Equipment failure, human error, or unexpected environmental conditions can all lead to serious injuries. For instance, a paraglider might encounter sudden strong winds that can cause a dangerous descent, and a base jumper risks miscalculating the landing area. Therefore, proper training, high-quality equipment, and a deep understanding of safety procedures are crucial for anyone involved in extreme sports.
20 The shared passion for these high-risk activities creates a strong sense of community. Extreme sports enthusiasts often gather at popular spots, exchange experiences, and support each other. They also share tips on equipment, training methods, and safety measures. This tight-knit community not only provides a platform for learning but also offers emotional support, making the extreme sports experience even more rewarding.
A.Participants can set their own goals and practice at their own pace.
B.They attract individuals who are eager to test their limits and seek new thrills.
C.Despite the risks, extreme sports also foster a unique sense of community.
D.These sports demand a combination of physical strength, and mental toughness.
E.When engaged in extreme sports, people always forget about their daily troubles.
F.The potential for injury is much higher compared to regular sports.
G.This can help conquer the physical challenge and push mental boundaries.

It was a bright and sunny Saturday, and 17-year-old Lily was excited about the school’s upcoming art exhibition. She had spent weeks working on a watercolor painting of a beautiful forest scene, pouring her heart and soul into every brushstroke. The exhibition was a big deal, not only for the students but also for the local art community.
On the morning of the exhibition, Lily carefully carried her painting to school. As she was walking through the crowded hallway, a sudden push from behind made her lose her balance. To her horror, the painting slipped out of her hands and landed face-down on the dirty floor. Lily gasped in shock and quickly picked it up, only to see that the front of the painting was smeared with dirt and footprints. Her masterpiece was ruined.
Tears filled Lily’s eyes as she stood there, frozen in disbelief. All her hard work had gone down the drain. She didn’t know what to do. Just then, her best friend, Emily, walked up and saw the damaged painting. “Oh no, Lily! I’m so sorry,” Emily exclaimed. Lily choked back a sob and said, “I can’t believe this happened. The exhibition starts in an hour. There’s no way I can fix this in time.” Emily put her arm around Lily’s shoulders and said, “Don’t give up. We’ll think of something.”
At that moment, Mr. Brown, the art teacher, walked by. He noticed the girls’ distressed expressions and asked what was wrong. After listening to Lily’s story, he looked at the painting carefully. “Well,” he said, “it’s not the end of the world. Accidents happen, but sometimes they can lead to something even more amazing. Let’s see what we can do.”

46.【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m glad to share with you the Campus Safety Week held in our school last month. Aimed at enhancing students’s safety awareness and preventing accidents, the event was a great success.
During the week, a safety-themed exhibition was set up in the school hall, displaying various safety-related materials, such as posters about traffic safety and brochures on first-aid knowledge. Also, there were several expert lectures on topics like fire prevention. Besides, we had hands-on drills for emergency situations, like earthquake evacuation.
This activity not only made me more aware of potential dangers but also taught me practical skills to deal with them. I do hope you can experience similar activities in your school.
Yours,
Li Hua

Mr. Brown led them to the art studio and opened a drawer full of various art tools. He picked up some colored pencils and a tube of paint. “Look, Lily,” he said, “we can turn these smudges and footprints into something beautiful. What if we make the dirt into a path winding through the forest, and the footprints into the marks left by forest animals ” Inspired by his words, Lily and Emily got to work immediately. They added details to the “path” and painted little paw prints around it. With every stroke, the ruined painting gradually transformed into a unique and vivid forest scene.
When the exhibition opened, a large crowd gathered around Lily’s painting. People were amazed by the creativity and the story behind it. Many came up to Lily, congratulating her on the wonderful work. One art critic even said it was the most impressive piece in the exhibition because of its unexpected charm. Lily smiled, feeling a sense of pride. She realized that sometimes, when things don’t go as planned, a little creativity can turn a disaster into a masterpiece. And she was grateful for the help of her teacher and friend, which made this transformation possible.
