On July 26, 2019, the 21yearold KUN released his new single YOUNG. Within just 20 seconds, it reached 1 m

9、illion views and in only 3 days topped the music charts of Tencents QQ Music. Cai wrote the song by himself to share his understanding of modernday youth. The singer has mixed R&B with electronic music to make his new beat cheerful. One reviewer wrote on QQ Music: “When you listen to the song, you j

10、ust seem to go back to youth again.” August 2 is Cais birthday, and the song was a gift to himself.

I want every piece

While the achievement is rem

15、arkable in itself, what is even more so is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago. Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017, seeking religious protection. A church pastor (牧师) helped find the family of four space in a h

16、omeless shelter in Manhattan and, soon after, Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a parttime teacher. Attracted by the game, then the sevenyearold begged his mother, Oluwatoyin, to allow him to join the schools ch

17、ess club. The family were concerned that they would be unable to afford the fees and expenses, which add up to thousands of dollars due to travel and chess competition admissions. Oluwatoyin emailed chess instructor Russell, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Russell agreed to_waive_all_

18、costs_for_young_Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks 27 in America in his age group. Though the chess club certainly helps, Tanis success can be largely owed to the efforts he has put into the game. The chess talent pra

19、ctices the game for several hours a day either on the floor with his board, or online, using his dads laptop. Every Saturday, Tani and his mother head to Harlem for a free 3hour class to help further sharpen his game skills. Not surprisingly, Tanis incredible story, first reported by The New York Ti

20、mes, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. Shortly after the young boy won the New York State Championship, Russell began a GoFundMe campaign for Tani and his family to “secure a home where he can continue with his journey” And the heartwarming story gets even better! Si

23、ities of the chess club.CTanis devotion to the game.DPublic reaction to Tanis story.27What does the last paragraph tell us about the family?AThey are caring. BThey live in poverty.CThey are honest. DThey are pitiful.C Kindhearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failu

24、re. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were not very valued because “everyones a winner”. And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised

25、 generation” Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mindsets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Heres how they work. A fixed mindset is supported by the belief that talent (才能) is genetic youre a born

26、 artist or mathematician. The fixed mindset believes its sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame (羞耻). When things get difficult, its quick to blame others, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties. On the other hand, a growth mindset believes that no talent

27、 is entirely born and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isnt the most important thing, the growth mindset sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, they are quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, they enjoy this experien

28、ce. We are all born with growth mindsets. Otherwise, we wouldnt be able to live in the world. But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mindsets by encouraging certain actions and misdirected praise. Dwecks book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, and the online instructio

29、nal program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.28What does the author think about the generation born between 1980 and 2001?AThey dont do well at school.B

30、They are often misunderstood.CThey are eager to win in sports.DThey are given too much praise.29A fixed mindset person is probably the one who _.Adoesnt want to work hardBcares a lot about personal safetyCcannot share his ideas with othersDcan succeed with the help of teachers30What does the growth

31、mindset believe?AAdmitting failure is shameful.BTalent comes with ones birth.CScores should be highly valued.DGetting over difficulties is enjoyable.31What should parents do for their children based on Dwecks study?AEncourage them to learn from failure.BPrevent them from making mistakes.CGuide them

32、through the difficulty.DHelp them grow with praise.DChinese Alevel has overtaken (超过) German for the first time, as it becomes the UKs third most popular language. This year 3,334 students take Chinese Alevel, compared to 3,058 taking German. While entries (参加总人数) for Chinese have increased by 8. 6

33、percent since last year, German entries have reduced by 16.5 percent. French remains the most popular modern language followed by Spanish, but both have seen a fall in entries compared to last year by eight and four percent respectively. Barnaby Lenon, chair of the Independent Schools Council (ISC),

34、 said that although pupils used to be told “It will really help your career if you learn German”， this is no longer the case. “In the 1960s, 70s and even the 80s, pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy. Although it is still strong, that argume

35、nt has faded, and China has appeared in the last 25 years as the fastest growing economy in the world.” Mr Lenon, former headmaster of Harrow School, said the rise in Chinese Alevel entries is partly driven by private schools, many of which have invested in the subject in recent years. “It is not th

36、e case that a large number of state schools are now teaching Chinese Alevel. They are not，” he said. Many of the entries will be Chinese native speakers and he added that independent schools have attracted “large numbers” of Chinese pupils in recent years. Mark Herbert, director of schools and skill

37、s at the British Council, welcomed the rise in Chinese Alevel entries. He said, “Our research shows that Mandarin will be one of the most important languages for the UKs future and global standing but we mustnt neglect Spanish, French and German which will still be vital for postBrexit (脱欧)” Nick Gi

38、bb, the schools minister, said, “An outwardlooking global nation needs a new generation of young people comfortable with the language and culture of our overseas trading partners.”32Which language has the largest number of Alevel entries in the UK this year?AChinese. BGerman.CFrench. DSpanish.33Acco

39、rding to the passage, why were the students in the UK encouraged to learn German from the 1960s to 1980s?ABecause UK and Germany are both European countries.BBecause UK and Germany had a long history of exchange.CBecause Germanys economy was in good condition.DBecause students could study in Germany

40、.34In Mr Lenons view, what has contributed to the increase in Chinese Alevel entries in the UK?AIndependent schools and private schools.BThe Chinese culture.CState schools.DThe fastest growing economy in China.35What can we learn from Mark Herberts words in Paragraph 6?AHe is against learning Chines
