26、Four Skills for Applying to American Universities
Recently, many Chinese students plan to study at American universities after high school. But it is very hard for them to apply successfully. 【1】.
【2】.
Critical thinking is the ability to form your unique opinions on something after analyzing and evaluating (评估) information, rather than totally accepting another person’s point of view. It requires knowledge and view. Try to think independently and logically. Look at things from a different viewpoint.
Academic research ability.
【3】. This requires not only willingness to accept something but also an active spirit of exploration. High school students should be able to find problems, review literature and have the basic hands-on ability to research topics. So it’s better to attend academic conferences or programs.
Social responsibility.
Many of the top universities in the US are private. 【4】, either from successful social organizations, companies or schoolmates. American universities aim to develop students with a strong social responsibility—having sympathy, caring about the disadvantaged, doing volunteer work, participating in environmental protection. These activities will prove your social responsibility.
Leadership ability.
Those who show leadership in teams seem to have more potential to be successful in the future. 【5】, organizing a student association or calling on others to solve practical problems can be good ways to train for becoming a leader.
A.Potential ability
B.Acting as a team leader in group work
C.Develop the ability to train others
D.Critical thinking
E.It is recommended to develop the following four valuable abilities
F.A majority of their money comes from social donations
G.The ability to conduct academic research is an important and practical skill to study abroad

He’s the youngest person to have spoken in front of the Royal Society of Medicine.
Taylor Wilson
Taylor Wilson was the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion (核聚变). He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor.
Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a small nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100,000 to work on his own research.
Sara Volz
Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algaebased on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel (生物燃料). This research is especially important as the world continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100,000 in the Intel Science Talent Search.
Daniel Burd
Plastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose (降解), but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months.
In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria responsible for decomposing the plastics.

28、How to Improve Your Study Habits
Do you spend a lot of time studying, while the result is not so satisfying? Are you at a loss as how to improve your study? Have you been tired of studying all day? If your answers are “Yes”, just read on. 【1】 Here’s how:
Plan your time in advance. Make a list of what you will do during the whole week. Then make a schedule of your time. 【2】 so it’s important to set aside some time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time.
Find a good studying place. In order to improve your study efficiency, you must choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. 【3】
Make it a regular habit to study. You are supposed to go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as the points you remain confused about. 【4】 Also, if you review your notes and textbook regularly, they will become more meaningful, and you will remember them longer.
【5】 Tests can show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end even if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about single test. Tests provide grades, but they can also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on, and they help your master the knowledge better.
In fact, there are many other techniques that might help you with your study. Discover them after you have tried and share the techniques that you have discovered with your classmates.

29、As I read about Sarah Loh’s journey to becoming the first female chief executive of the Australian Football League (AFL) last week, I was encouraged by the resilience (坚韧) she showed to become a leader in her sport, but also disappointed at the unfair treatment she faced to get there.
Loh had to deal with many of the same questions women in sports often face, such as: “How can a woman coach or lead when she has never played sports?” But as an Asian woman, Loh also faced questions with an added layer of racism: “What would a multicultural woman know about football?”
A recent Victoria University survey of 221 diverse women made up of current and former coaches, managers and board members found that half of the respondents were unhappy with their leadership roles and that many aspiring leaders believed their gender and background were barriers.
Women from different backgrounds, races, religions, classes and sexual orientations can sometimes experience multiple layers of injustice depending on the context. In order to address these inequalities, there are practical steps sporting organizations can take to create welcoming and inclusive environments for women in sports at every level.
In recent years, national sporting organizations across Australia have shown an increasing commitment to and engagement in the promotion of gender equality and respect to prevent violence against all women. Recognizing their own profile and influence, they have taken active steps to address the drivers of violence and inequality, including through education and awareness-raising programs such as Carlton Respects.
Sports have an influence way beyond the field, court or green on which they’re played, and they provide an opportunity to set and maintain positive community standards.
While resilience is a great strength to possess as a leader, women of color, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women or those from refugee and migrant backgrounds shouldn’t be required to wear such a thick set of armor (防御) to simply work in sports. Surely respect, equality and safety for all is not too much to ask for.
【1】What can we learn about Sarah Loh from the text?
A.She faced unfair treatment as a player in the AFL.
B.She is the first Chinese chief executive in the AFL.
C.Her sports achievements made her a leader in the AFL.
D.Her road to success was hard due to her gender and race.
【2】Which measure has been taken to solve the problem of gender inequality?
A.Strengthening females resilience by training.
B.Establishing more female sporting organizations.
C.Raising public awareness of violence against women.
D.Offering more opportunities for women to take sports.
【3】The author writes this passage to .
A.recognize the value of female leaders
B.call for equality and respect for females
C.encourage more females to take sports
D.present the difficulties female leaders face

You are my Solskjaer,
My Ole Solskjaer
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You’ll never know dear.
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.
You are my Solskjaer
My only Solskjaer
You make my happy when skies are grey
Coz when it’s pouring you just keep scoring
Please don’t take our Solskjaer away
The above song is 【1】 from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid 【2】 to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.

On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect 【4】 of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his 【5】 knee injury.

Ole’s many career 【8】 include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best 【9】 his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and 【10】 himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.
