For Damen Fletcher, chess is much more than a game. This inspiring California man uses chess to coach young people from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Southern California and beyond to develop self-confidence, and find purpose in their lives.
Why does Fletcher choose chess to help kids and teens make the right moves in life The answer lies in his own life story. Fletcher, who learned to play this game of strategic skill at the age of 13, grew up in Compton, California. After heading farther to college, he returned home to find his friends struggling. As he explains: “Some of them had fallen into prison. Homeless and unemployed... and I just wondered, ‘Why did I have such a different outcome ’ And it was chess.”
So he set about building his own organization “Train of Thought” to help inner city kids find their own king or queen and life goals by learning problem solving, teamwork, and forward planning skills at an early age through chess, while enjoying themselves.
Fletcher highlights in an interview with Fox News that every game of chess is 75 to 100 moves, and every single move that your opponent makes presents a new problem for you to solve, so chess is a game in which the weak can turn out stronger. As Paige Stevenson, a 7th grader and already a keen chess player thanks to Fletcher’s enthusiasm, tells the channel, “He has taught me not to give up because you can move and find a way out instead of losing.”
His organization has partnered with more than 100 schools to date and has taught more than 50,000 students the game of Kings in California, with plans to expand in the US. It is an old proverb that children learn from play, and this is something that Fletcher is keen to stress. And as his website also explains: “If you think chess is just a game, you’re not playing it right.”
8. What do we know about Damen Fletcher
A. He had a rough childhood. B. He likes nothing but chess.
C. He is a positive chess master. D. He is a famous social activist.
9. What inspired Fletcher to found “Train of Thought”
A. The value of chess. B. The college education.
C. His pursuit for success. D. His friends’ requirement.
10 Why did the author mention Paige Stevenson in paragraph 4
A. To compare different ideas. B. To show Paige’s enthusiasm.
C. To provide other information. D. To support Fletcher’s opinion.
11. What can be inferred about the game of Kings from the text
A. It can help kids grow up happily. B. It may get kids addicted to chess.
C. It will become a required course. D. It is active in schools in the world.
D
Think of a seed buried in a pot. It’s dark down there in the potting soil. There’s no light, no sunshine. So how does it know which way is up and which way is down It does know. Seeds send shoots up toward the sky, and roots the other way. Darkness doesn’t confuse them. Somehow, they get it right.
More surprisingly, if you turn a seedling (秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down, as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago, the tips and roots of the plant will sense, “Hey, I’m upside down. Look! I will turn my way to the right direction and do a U-turn.”
How do they know According to botanist Daniel Chamovitz, Thomas Knight about 200 years ago guessed that plants must sense gravity. Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate.
He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc. The plate was then turned by a water wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions (旋转) per minute for several days.
If you have been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup, you know that because of centrifugal force (离心力) you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.
Knight wondered, would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate When he looked, that’s what they’d done. Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots pointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.
12. How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2
A. By describing vividly. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stones. D. By asking questions.
13. What determines the direction that the plant choose
A. Soil. B. Sunshine.
C. Darkness. D. Gravity.
14. What did Knight’s experiment prove
A. Plants have their own desires. B. Plants can feel the pull.
C. Speed influences plants’ growing. D. Plants can grow quickly by doing a U-turn.
15. Where can this passage most probably be found
A. In a book review. B. In a lifestyle magazine.
C. In a scientific report. D. In an official document.

Her face lit up like the sun and she waved excitedly saying, “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today!” “Hello, little lady! And how old are you today ” He asked. They chatted for a few seconds.
We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later, Norah asked me, “Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday ” I thought the old man couldn’t have gone very far. So we quickly found him. “Excuse me, sir She’d like to know if you’d take a photo with her for her birthday,” I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. “A photo With me ” He asked. “Yes! For my birthday!” Norah cheered. And so they posed together and then they hugged each other like they were long lost friends.
We thanked Mr. Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He was moved to tears and said, “No, thank you. This is the best day I’ve had in a long time. You’ve made me feel so happy and valuable, Ms. Norah.”

For Damen Fletcher, chess is much more than a game. This inspiring California man uses chess to coach young people from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Southern California and beyond to develop self-confidence, and find purpose in their lives.
Why does Fletcher choose chess to help kids and teens make the right moves in life The answer lies in his own life story. Fletcher, who learned to play this game of strategic skill at the age of 13, grew up in Compton, California. After heading farther to college, he returned home to find his friends struggling. As he explains: “Some of them had fallen into prison. Homeless and unemployed... and I just wondered, ‘Why did I have such a different outcome ’ And it was chess.”
So he set about building his own organization “Train of Thought” to help inner city kids find their own king or queen and life goals by learning problem solving, teamwork, and forward planning skills at an early age through chess, while enjoying themselves.
Fletcher highlights in an interview with Fox News that every game of chess is 75 to 100 moves, and every single move that your opponent makes presents a new problem for you to solve, so chess is a game in which the weak can turn out stronger. As Paige Stevenson, a 7th grader and already a keen chess player thanks to Fletcher’s enthusiasm, tells the channel, “He has taught me not to give up because you can move and find a way out instead of losing.”
His organization has partnered with more than 100 schools to date and has taught more than 50,000 students the game of Kings in California, with plans to expand in the US. It is an old proverb that children learn from play, and this is something that Fletcher is keen to stress. And as his website also explains: “If you think chess is just a game, you’re not playing it right.”
8. What do we know about Damen Fletcher
A. He had a rough childhood. B. He likes nothing but chess.
C. He is a positive chess master. D. He is a famous social activist.
9. What inspired Fletcher to found “Train of Thought”
A. The value of chess. B. The college education.
C. His pursuit for success. D. His friends’ requirement.
10 Why did the author mention Paige Stevenson in paragraph 4
A. To compare different ideas. B. To show Paige’s enthusiasm.
C. To provide other information. D. To support Fletcher’s opinion.
11. What can be inferred about the game of Kings from the text
A. It can help kids grow up happily. B. It may get kids addicted to chess.
C. It will become a required course. D. It is active in schools in the world.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A

Think of a seed buried in a pot. It’s dark down there in the potting soil. There’s no light, no sunshine. So how does it know which way is up and which way is down It does know. Seeds send shoots up toward the sky, and roots the other way. Darkness doesn’t confuse them. Somehow, they get it right.
More surprisingly, if you turn a seedling (秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down, as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago, the tips and roots of the plant will sense, “Hey, I’m upside down. Look! I will turn my way to the right direction and do a U-turn.”
How do they know According to botanist Daniel Chamovitz, Thomas Knight about 200 years ago guessed that plants must sense gravity. Knight proved it with a crazy experiment involving a spinning plate.
He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc. The plate was then turned by a water wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions (旋转) per minute for several days.
If you have been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup, you know that because of centrifugal force (离心力) you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.
Knight wondered, would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate When he looked, that’s what they’d done. Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots pointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.
12. How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2
A. By describing vividly. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stones. D. By asking questions.
13. What determines the direction that the plant choose
A. Soil. B. Sunshine.
C. Darkness. D. Gravity.
14. What did Knight’s experiment prove
A. Plants have their own desires. B. Plants can feel the pull.
C. Speed influences plants’ growing. D. Plants can grow quickly by doing a U-turn.
15. Where can this passage most probably be found
A. In a book review. B. In a lifestyle magazine.
C. In a scientific report. D. In an official document.

He attached a bunch of plant seedlings onto a disc. The plate was then turned by a water wheel powered by a local stream at a speed of 150 revolutions (旋转) per minute for several days.
If you have been at an amusement park in a spinning teacup, you know that because of centrifugal force (离心力) you get pushed away from the center of the spinning object toward the outside.
Knight wondered, would the plants respond to the centrifugal pull of gravity and point their roots to the outside of the spinning plate When he looked, that’s what they’d done. Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots pointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.
12. How does the author write about the young seedling in Paragraph 2
A. By describing vividly. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stones. D. By asking questions.
13. What determines the direction that the plant choose
A. Soil. B. Sunshine.
C. Darkness. D. Gravity.
14. What did Knight’s experiment prove
A. Plants have their own desires. B. Plants can feel the pull.
C. Speed influences plants’ growing. D. Plants can grow quickly by doing a U-turn.
15. Where can this passage most probably be found
A. In a book review. B. In a lifestyle magazine.
C. In a scientific report. D. In an official document.

For Damen Fletcher, chess is much more than a game. This inspiring California man uses chess to coach young people from some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in Southern California and beyond to develop self-confidence, and find purpose in their lives.
Why does Fletcher choose chess to help kids and teens make the right moves in life The answer lies in his own life story. Fletcher, who learned to play this game of strategic skill at the age of 13, grew up in Compton, California. After heading farther to college, he returned home to find his friends struggling. As he explains: “Some of them had fallen into prison. Homeless and unemployed... and I just wondered, ‘Why did I have such a different outcome ’ And it was chess.”
So he set about building his own organization “Train of Thought” to help inner city kids find their own king or queen and life goals by learning problem solving, teamwork, and forward planning skills at an early age through chess, while enjoying themselves.
Fletcher highlights in an interview with Fox News that every game of chess is 75 to 100 moves, and every single move that your opponent makes presents a new problem for you to solve, so chess is a game in which the weak can turn out stronger. As Paige Stevenson, a 7th grader and already a keen chess player thanks to Fletcher’s enthusiasm, tells the channel, “He has taught me not to give up because you can move and find a way out instead of losing.”
His organization has partnered with more than 100 schools to date and has taught more than 50,000 students the game of Kings in California, with plans to expand in the US. It is an old proverb that children learn from play, and this is something that Fletcher is keen to stress. And as his website also explains: “If you think chess is just a game, you’re not playing it right.”
8. What do we know about Damen Fletcher
A. He had a rough childhood. B. He likes nothing but chess.
C. He is a positive chess master. D. He is a famous social activist.
9. What inspired Fletcher to found “Train of Thought”
A. The value of chess. B. The college education.
C. His pursuit for success. D. His friends’ requirement.
10 Why did the author mention Paige Stevenson in paragraph 4
A. To compare different ideas. B. To show Paige’s enthusiasm.
C. To provide other information. D. To support Fletcher’s opinion.
11. What can be inferred about the game of Kings from the text
A. It can help kids grow up happily. B. It may get kids addicted to chess.
C. It will become a required course. D. It is active in schools in the world.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A

Think of a seed buried in a pot. It’s dark down there in the potting soil. There’s no light, no sunshine. So how does it know which way is up and which way is down It does know. Seeds send shoots up toward the sky, and roots the other way. Darkness doesn’t confuse them. Somehow, they get it right.
More surprisingly, if you turn a seedling (秧苗) or a whole bunch of seedlings upside down, as Thomas Andrew Knight of the Royal Society did around 200 years ago, the tips and roots of the plant will sense, “Hey, I’m upside down. Look! I will turn my way to the right direction and do a U-turn.”

Every plant on the disc had responded to the pull of gravity, and pointed its roots to the outside. The roots pointed out, and the shoots pointed in. So Thomas Knight proved that plants can and do sense the pull.

A. Soil. B. Sunshine.

【答案】Dear Wang Tao,
How is everything going I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling anxious about high school life. Many students feel the same way during this transition, so you're not alone.
First, stay confident and focus on the positive side. High school is a new start full of opportunities for personal growth. When you are faced with challenges in a positive way, chances will arise. Besides, I recommend joining clubs or sports activities, which can help you reduce stress, make new friends, and bring balance to your busy schedule.
Remember, adaptation takes time. I'm sure you'll soon find your rhythm and enjoy this meaningful chapter.
Cheer up! I'm always here for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
