David Ortiz is a nine-time Major League Baseball All-Star and three-time World Series champion. Last season, he earned World Series MVP honors after leading the Boston Red Sox to their eighth World Series championship. Boys’ Life interviewed Ortiz about what it takes to be a champion.
BL: What was it like growing up playing baseball in your hometown?
D.O.: It was the best thing. Pretty much everything was natural. It was about love for the game. I feel the same today. It never gets old.
BL: How important were your parents to your success?
D.O.: They did it all. My dad encouraged me big time to become a Major League Baseball player, taking me to games. And my mom made sure I ate well. It was teamwork.
BL: How did the Red Sox go from winning very few games in 2012 to World Series champs in 2013?
D.O.: We had the talent in 2012. We just weren’t on the same page. Once we hired (雇用) John Farrell (Boston’s manager) in the new season, we felt this was the piece we needed to achieve our goal. Then, it was perfect.
BL: You’re 38 but still performing at an excellent level. What’s the secret?
D.O.: As you start getting older and some of your agility (敏捷) is going, you have to work harder. I have to make adjustments (调整) because each time I’m facing somebody, they’re giving me the best of what they have. So I have to bring the best of what I have. Every game. Every situation.
BL: What advice do you have for young people?
D.O.: Listen to your parents, because they always want the best for you. Be honest. Sometimes you can fool yourself, but you know what it takes to get to a certain level. More importantly, it’s hard work that will take you to where you want to be.

?????? A young dance team rocks the court at basketball games. Dressed from head to toe in black-and-white clothes, the dancers stand in a circle. They shout “Brooklyn Nets! Yes! We are the best!” The crowd at Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York, reacts with clapping and cheers.
Fans may go to the center to watch the Nets play basketball. But once there, they are treated to the hip-hop moves and big smiles of the Brooklyn Nets Kids.
The team performs during halftime at Brooklyn Nets home games. This year’s dancers are 8 to 13 years old. Team members must have at least two years of dance training.
“We look for star power at auditions (试演),” said dance instructor Tanisha Scott, who picked out 17 dancers from 500 children. “The team dances in front of almost 18,000 people, so we need kids who light up the room and catch people’s attention.” Dancers attend rehearsals (排练) every Wednesday for three hours. The team also practices for at least an hour before each halftime performance.
“Sometimes, it gets hard because we have rehearsals and I’m tired for school the next day,” Serena, 9, says. “It can also be hard to keep my attention. If I see someone famous in the crowd, it changes my dancing a little bit.” Frankie, 10, agrees. “But the hardest part for me is dancing in front of all the fans,” he, sometimes unable to relax, says.
But the dancers agree that being a Brooklyn Nets Kid is pleasurable. “It’s really fun to dance on the team,” ten-year-old Tymell says. “I like to encourage all the fans.”
Scott says she loves seeing the pride the kids have in their work. “When they get warm clapping, we all high-five (举手击掌) each other,” she says. “That’s the best part of the job.”

Today many people call Paul Cézanne the Father of Modern Painting. In fact, he sold few pictures and won no prizes. He had to be supported by his father and was also helped by the writer émile Zola, his boyhood friend. Only in the last ten years of his life was his greatness recognized.
Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence, France, on Jan. 19, 1839. His father, Louis-Auguste, was a successful banker. Cézanne received an education at the Collège Bourbon and studied drawing at the Aix Museum. After studying for a short time at law school and working in his father’s bank, he went to Paris to study painting. Then he often returned to Aix. He worked many summers painting the scenery near his father’s home away from the center of the city.
During the Franco-Prussian War, in 1870, Cézanne fled to L’Estaque, near Marseilles. With him went Hortense Fiquet. In 1872 their son Paul was born.
Cézanne took part in the first exhibition of impressionist (印象派的) paintings in 1874, though he later broke with the impressionists. He was more concerned with structure and color than with the effects produced by light.
Not until Cézanne was about 60 years old did galleries and museums begin to look for his works. Even with his newfound success he still remained unsociable. However, he continued to paint until a week before his death on Oct. 22, 1906.
Most 20th-century painters were influenced by Cézanne. He invented a way of modeling three-dimensional (三维的) forms by painting in small areas of color. He painted from nature but often changed a shape or its color to express its special effect. His finest works are very calm and peaceful but they are powerful expressions of forms in space.
28. During most of his life, Paul Cézanne seemed to _____.
A. be a failure?????????????? B. be a great artist
C. like to help others????? D. like to make friends
29. What was Paul Cézanne’s attitude towards impressionist paintings in his later life?
A. Hopeful.?????????????????? B. Uncertain.??
C. Favorable.??????????????? D. Uninterested.
30. The last paragraph mainly tells us about Paul Cézanne’s _____.
A. finest works???????????? B. painting style
C. favorite painters??????? D. powerful influence
D
Last month, the world’s oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating (漂浮) in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! Last week, the message was sent to the author’s granddaughter.
A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel, Germany. He says he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.
The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness (潮湿) had made most of the writing illegible, the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin.
From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. Then they began a search for any living relatives. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.
“It was almost unbelievable,” Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather’s bottle and message. “That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face.”
Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but says that the discovery of the bottle has made her want to learn more about him.
The bottle will remain on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1. After that, researchers will examine the postcard and try to figure out the meaning of the rest of the message.
Until now, the oldest known message in a bottle had been written in 1914 and was discovered in 2012 by a Scottish fisherman. It had spent nearly 98 years at sea.
31. When Konrad Fischer picked the bottle from the sea, _____.
A. he found it had been broken
B. he knew it was the oldest bottle
C. he noticed the postcard inside immediately
D. he wanted to throw it back into the sea at first
32. The underlined word “illegible” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. not easy to post B. not difficult to copy
C. not hard to understand D. not clear enough to be read
33. When Erdmann got her grandfather’s bottle and message, she was _____.
A. worried???????????? ????????????? B. troubled?????
C. surprised????????????????? ?????? D. satisfied
34. What can we learn about Richard Platz from the text?
A. He died in his fifties.
B. He had ever met his granddaughter.
C. He hoped his granddaughter could find the postcard.
D. He hoped his message in the bottle could set a world record.
35. What type of writing is this text??

Every year many people are killed or injure in road accidents. So why can we make the roads safer? We can start by remembering the following traffic rule. If you were riding a bike, always keeping to the right side of the road. If you’re walking, you should stop and look at both right and left before crossing the road. It is safe to cross only when a road is clear. If you see any kids or old people waiting cross the road, you can help them to cross it safe, too. Always follow these traffic rules or you’ll find walking or riding on the road much safer.

Since I was born, I have been listening to music all the time. Not just any music, but the right kind of music.
It may seem strange to say that, but hearing good music played well by a big music group is something that a lot of people no longer experience. Most people are musically illiterate (了解不多的) simply because they have never had any chance to listen to good music. Many people are unfamiliar with the sound of a symphony orchestra. They only hear orchestra music while watching ads and films. But to me a symphony orchestra is the biggest instrument in the world. To hear a full symphony orchestra on stage and to feel the power of the sound — it is like a big wave. It is an amazing experience and it is one that I was lucky enough to grow up with.
My mother was a well-known singer. She had been a member of the Vienna State Opera and the Budapest State Opera and as a baby I was taken along to concerts and stages. I was not necessarily listening to classical music but always good music played well.
My mother was the sixteenth child in her family. She was the youngest and by the time she was born, her oldest sister also had a child with whom she shared a bed. With so many loving families around her, my mother grew up happily to be a cheerful woman.
Because I lost my father when I was very young, I do not remember much about him. What I do know is largely what I have been told by my mother. I am like him in many ways. He was obviously a very serious man, always appearing sad. I seem to have inherited (继承) something of that from him. Fortunately, I inherited far more of my mother’s happiness — a real show business personality (性格).
24. Why does the author think that most people are musically illiterate?
A. They are not interested in music.
B. They don’t listen to music very often.
C. They can’t tell good music from bad music.
D. They have no chance to listen to well-
-played music.
25. What does the author think of hearing a symphony orchestra on stage?
A. It inspires him to get on stage one day.
B. It makes him feel like getting stuck in a big wave.
C. It’s very different from hearing orchestra music in films.
D. It can create the same feeling as watching powerful ads.
26. What can be learned about the author as a baby?
A. He helped his mother a lot.
B. He learned music from his mother.
C. He went to his mother’s workplace.
D. He listened to classical music every day.
27. What would the author probably like to do in the future?
A. To be a teacher.
B. To be a stage player.

The first drawings on walls appeared in caves (洞穴) thousands of years ago. Modern graffiti (涂鸦) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags (标签)”, on buildings all over the city.
In the early days, the “taggers” were young street men who were trying to mark their space. They worked in groups and called what they did “writing” — the word “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the writer Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be considered as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared (宣告) the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.
The argument over whether graffiti is art is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York City councillor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that graffiti shows freedom and makes cities livelier.
Graffiti is now sometimes big business. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have become internationally famous by producing works which often make humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over ￡100,000.
28. Why was the seventies an important period in the history of graffiti?
A. That was when graffiti was found in caves.
B. That was when modern graffiti first appeared.
C. That was when graffiti first reached New York.
D. That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.
29. Who created the word “graffiti”?
A. Some street artists.
B. Art galleries in New York.
C. A newspaper and an author.
D. The mayor of New York in the late seventies.
30. How did things change after the first war on graffiti?
A. New York looked a lot cleaner.
B. Many people gave up doing graffiti.
C. It became safe to take subway trains.
D. Graffiti artists had to find different places to paint.
31. What does New York City councillor Peter Vallone say about graffiti?
A. It can be beautiful when it’s done by a skilled artist.
B. It is a crime if the artist doesn’t have permission.
C. It gives people the freedom of expression.
D. It is far from being considered art.
D
In 2013, Harris Academy, a school in south London, stopped its students from using slang (俚语) words, such as ain’t. The move led to an argument over whether it is necessary to control the way students speak.
The creation of slang is one way languages change. Slang, or informal language, usually changes more rapidly than standard language. For example, the word groovy, meaning “great,” used to be very popular in the 1960s and ‘70s. But by 1980, people had stopped using it.
One important reason we use slang is to show others that we belong to a group. Another is to communicate an idea in a more colorful or humorous way. For example, the phrase jump ship creates a stronger image (形象) than the more standard leave an organization. While in the Internet age, slang expressions are created faster than ever. Often, Internet slang words are created to make messages faster and easier to type.
Some people are strongly against the use of slang. Teachers at Harris Academy were worried that slang would prevent their students from learning how to read, write, and express themselves correctly. They thought this might cause problems for them when they finally went on to apply (申请) to universities or companies.
However, some people think differently. Linguist Tony Thorne sees slang as a way for speakers of a language to show their creativity and humor. And, unlike what some believe, slang is not a new phenomenon (现象). As Thorne explains, “Slang has not become more popular, simply more public.” In today’s highly connected world, slang has become more noticeable because of better tools to observe language change.
Perhaps the worries mentioned above can be solved by making people understand when to use certain forms of language. As long as people use slang properly, there is no need to completely avoid it.
32. Why did the author mention the example of “groovy”?
A. To show how languages change.
B. To show slang often changes fast.
C. To show slang was popular in the 1960s.
D. To show how standard language forms over time.
33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Why people use slang.
B. How people use slang.
C. Different types of slang.
D. The development of slang.
34. What can we infer from Tony Thorne’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. Slang takes time to develop.
B. Slang is being accepted by the public.
C. Slang is increasingly known to the public.
D. More and more people are beginning to use slang.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards Harris Academy’s decision on slang?
A. He is against it.
B. He is in favor of it.
C. He is doubtful about it.
D. He is uncertain about it.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It’s a Friday morning in Boston, which means Dr. Jim O’Connell is making his rounds. He might be more comfortable inside an exam room, but that’s not where his patients are. O’Connell is one of a handful of doctors making house calls to the homeless in the city.
O’Connell was studying at Harvard Medical School when his teacher suggested he take what was supposed to be a one-year position as the founding doctor of a new health-care program for Boston’s homeless. That turned into a 33-year career (事业) at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), one of the country’s largest of its kind.
“You realize, ‘You know what, I’m just a doctor. And what I can do is I can get to know you and ease your suffering,’” O’Connell said. “You could not find a more grateful (感恩的) population.”
And his patients are grateful. “This man is unbelievable!” one said.
O’Connell treats the homeless for just about everything, from stitches (缝针) for an arm to surgery (手术) for the soul. If patients can’t be treated on the street, he finds them a treatment bed at the organization’s medical room, a place for patients who are too sick to be on the streets but not ill enough for a hospital stay.
“Everything I had been taught to do in medical school — go fast, be efficient (效率高的) — was useless when you take care of homeless people,” O’Connell told Harvard Magazine. “When you see somebody outside, you get them a cup of coffee and sit with them. Sometimes it took six months or a year of offering a sandwich or coffee before someone would start to talk to you. But once they open their heart, they’ll come to you anytime because they trust you.”
When asked about how his life might have turned out had he become a highly paid hospital doctor, O’Connell said, “I never think about it anymore.”
Some things are more valuable than money. Just ask the man who gets everything from patients who have nothing material (物质的) to give.
1. For what reason did O’Connell start treating the homeless?
A. He felt sorry for them.
B. His teacher advised him to do that.
C. He had to do that for a school project.
D. A health-care program invited him to join in.
2. What will O’Connell do if patients can’t be treated on the street?
A. Take them to BHCHP.
B. Take them to a hospital.
C. Take them to his own house.
D. Take them to his exam room.
3. What does O’Connell consider important when dealing with homeless people?
A. Home and food.
B. Care and patience.
C. Knowledge and skill.
D. Speed and efficiency.
4. What is the text mainly about?
A. Ways to treat homeless people.
B. Problems facing homeless people.
C. A doctor who serves the homeless.
D. An unusual job for modern doctors.
B
A study of a prehistoric dog that was buried (埋葬) with two people shows that the animal had experienced several bouts (发作) of a possibly deadly illness. The fact it survived them suggests its owners cared for their dog as a pet.
The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was discovered a century ago in Germany. It was buried alongside the remains of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s. All are about 14,200 years old.
A common idea is that prehistoric humans trained dogs to put them to work. Maybe the first dogs helped with hunting (捕猎), guarded houses or were used to carry things.
However, Janssens and other researchers at Ghent University in Belgium say there is a possibility that we trained dogs simply because we liked having them as pets.
Their study of the dog shows it was in terrible health. Although only about 7 months old when it died, the dog had experienced three periods of serious illness when it was between 19 and 23 weeks old.
“The first bout would have been enough to be deadly to most dogs in the wild,” says Janssens. “Then came two other bouts, and the possibility that the animal would have survived without human help is very, very low.”
The researchers argue that the sick dog would have been unable to do any useful work. In fact, keeping it alive was probably an unpleasant task for its owners.
Its survival suggests that its owners felt friendship, just like a modern dog owner. “This is the first time we have found evidence (证据) to suggest that dogs were treated without expectation of any usefulness,” says Janssens.
Friendship may have helped drive dog training, says Mietje Germonpré at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “Baby wolves could have been kept to provide company,” she says. “This raising of baby wolves as pets could have been a stepping stone on the way to the training of the dog.”
It is important that the dog was buried, says Pat Shipman at Pennsylvania State University. “When you start burying animals, it means a special relationship of some kind.”
5. What do we know about the buried prehistoric dog?
A. It was raised as a pet.
B. It was good at hunting.
C. It was kept to guard houses.
D. It could communicate well with humans.
6. What did the study of the dog show?
A. It died of an injury.
B. It was strictly trained.
C. It was quite old when it died.
D. It possibly received human help.
7. What did Janssens think of the Bonn-Oberkassel dog’s owners?
A. Strong-minded.
B. Hard-working.
C. Cheerful.
D. Caring.
8. What did prehistoric humans’ burying dogs suggest according to Pat Shipman?
A. They had deep feelings for dogs.
B. They followed special cultural traditions.
C. They placed importance on animal deaths.
D. They raised dogs differently from other animals.
