23、When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach . One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical students can be of themselves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!
【1】According to Paragraph 1, what does the author think more about?
A.John's state of health.
B.John's PE marks.
C.John's self-confidence.
D.John's interest in sports.
【2】Why did John take part in the track team?
A.He had no tennis coach to train him.
B.He had been an excellent runner.
C.He was encouraged by his teacher.
D.He liked running more than tennis.
【3】What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?
A.To show the importance of encouragement.
B.To build a close teacher-student relationship.
C.To introduce a new way of sports training.
D.To explain the value of sports and games.
【4】Who is the passage mainly written for?
A.Players.

C.Parents.
D.Students.
24、As Dr. Srini Pillay states in her new book, the brain does its best work when it’s allowed to move between focus and unfocus. Here are several tips to help you find your flow.
Engage in positive constructive day dreaming. 【1】 Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe an imaginary forest or a warm, sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer you fresh ideas.
Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 【2】 To help, turn off text messaging and social media notifications. When they are shut off, our brains get a chance to complete full sentences of thought.
【3】 Are you sharp and quick in mind in the morning? Or is night person more your style? Either way works as long as you schedule your most important projects during your brain’s periods of peak performance. Try to reserve your best brain time for the big stuff.
Try new hobbies. This is fun and can help us think of new solutions to problems. 【4】
Keep away from digital devices. Taking a digital sabbath — intentionally setting aside time to rest from your screens and all their interruptions — offers an important benefit, 【5】 It also helps us to “reset and think about what’s really important.”
A.Unfocus your mind.
B.Make friends with your body clock.
C.Our days are filled with distractions.
D.It reminds us there’s a world outside our screens.
E.Schedule into every workday some breaks from focusing.
F.Allowing your mind time to play is a way to work better.
G.Digital devices can greatly improve our working efficiency.
