I was a very luck girl. Many girls didn’t know they could participate or even be good at sports, but I never needed to be told that because I grew up with my grandmother who was a great Olympian. Even today, many girls need that extra nod in sports, but where can they get it?

Winners Never Quit by Mia Hamm

This picture book has a great message about how important attitude is in sports. I especially love the main character who is a child. This makes little girls and boys find themselves in similarly frustrating situation. You will find yourself saying “Winners Never Quit” a lot reading this book.

Players in Pigtails by Shana Corey

This book takes the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and personalizes it for young readers. Many young girls who love sports more than princess will like the main character and hopefully understand her desire to do what she loves.

Wilma Unlimited by Kathleen Krull

It’s a true story of Wilma Rudolph, an African-American Olympian who, despite having polio(小兒麻痹) as a child, became the first American woman ever to win three gold medals at one Olympic Games. What did Wilma have in her corner? Not much more than great determination. This story is incredibly inspiring and the illustrations(插圖) by David Diaz bring the amazing facts straight to your heart.

Basketball Belles by Sue Macy

This book is set in 1896 and the attractive illustrations by Matt Collins take readers back to that time. The author takes you back into that gymnasium and makes you see not only how amazing that first game was for those devoted women who played in it, but also how important it was to all the women that have played basketball ever since.

We can't tell a contestant is winning because he is really talented or because there is no comparison

Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position? There's a reason for saying this. In 2012, the reality talent show, the Voice of China, on the Zhejiang Television became the most popular program in China.

The reason for its popularity was really because of its excellent quality?

The administrative department really contributed a lot in the popularity of the Voice of China. In the past, there were no other draft shows(選秀節(jié)目) ranked as high as Super Girl and Super Boy. Even though there were some draft shows which seemed to share the popularity, it never turned out true. All the other draft shows were shadowed by the ones on Hunan TV. One example was that since draft shows of Hunan TV were broadcast on Friday night, the draft shows of other stations were shifted to Saturday or Sunday. However, Hunan TV didn't get their permission for broadcasting shows in 2012.

And if this were not bad enough, SARFT did a great favor for it. SARFT issued a regulation, saying that all draft shows should be broadcast after 10:30 pm at night. Zhejiang TV declared long before the regulation that since was “no audition(海選)， no PK, no rise in rank, no voting, no champion”, its program was never a draft show. So, in 2012, all the opponents of Zhejiang TV had to broadcast their draft shows after 10:30 pm while the Voice of China was permitted to be broadcast in prime time.

If you really think about it, there's no essential difference between a draft show and the Voice of China. It also selected people from all over the country, how did they say this was different from a draft show? No PK, really? PK doesn't mean one versus one! A team versus a team is called PK too. And “no rise in rank” is just a switch of concepts because at the end of every game, some left the stage and some stayed. If there was really “no champion”, how come there was only one “good voice of China” at the final round? All these were rising in rank, in disguise(隱性).

Under such circumstances, the Voice of China even got praise. We are not saying that it is not a good show; we are saying that there's regret about the show since it had no opponent.

1.The following factors are important in making the Voice of China popular EXCEPT _______.

A. the unique quality of the voice of China

B. the policy support from SARFT and the administrative department

C. the favorable broadcasting time

D. the shortage of good opponents

2.The passage mainly tells us _______.

A. the voice of China is not a real draft show

B. the draft shows of Hunan Satellite TV still cause our attention

C. the advantag2s of the Voice of China

D. the reasons why Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position

3.What's the author's attitude towards the voice of China?

A. supportive B. doubtful

C. optimistic D. hopeful

4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A. SARFT issued a regulation, saying that all draft shows should be broadcast after 10:30 pm at night.

B. Draft shows of Hunan TV were broadcast on Sunday night.

C. In the past, there were some draft shows ranked as high as Super Girl.

D. The Voice of China is a program of Hunan Satellite TV.

“Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(漣漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.” When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪機). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.

“The resource is huge,” said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. “We will never run out of wave power.” Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three quarters of the Earth’s surface—that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.

Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world,” Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!

1.The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to .

A. test the readers’ knowledge about waves

B. draw the readers’ attention to the topic

C. show Jamie Taylor’s importance

D. invite the readers to answer them

2.The underlined phrase “picking up” is closest in meaning to .

A. starting again B. speeding up

C. improving D. gathering

3.We can make better use of wave energy if we .

A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes

B. build more small power stations on the oceans

C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power

D. quicken the steps of producing electricity

4.It can be inferred that someday we might not worry about .

A. our power supply

B. our boat traffic

C. air pollution

D. our supply of sea fish
