World-famous Botanical Gardens
From botanical history to scientific discovery, here are the top picks for people to explore.

It is a setting rich in history that spans from royal decorations to wartime bombing, and its mission is to protect plants for the future of all life on Earth.
The Humble Administrator’s Garden, Suzhou, China (1513)
The Humble Administrators Garden in Suzhou is a great masterpiece with its attractive design and careful arrangement of natural elements. It’s centered around water features, with beautiful fountains, complex rockwork, and historic buildings surrounded by thick vegetation. The combination of these elements creates a picturesque landscape. Because of its exceptional cultural and historical significance, the garden has become a world heritage.

Monserrate is a combination of wild landscape with old ruins, formal lawned areas and lovely gardens. The garden sits on the lower slopes of the Sintra Mountains, which have one of the mildest climates in Europe, so the garden is frost-free. At its very centre is a grand palace, which has a distinctive mixture of different architectural styles. It has been the site of various buildings and gardens for hundreds of years.
Missouri Botanical Garden, St Louis, USA (1859)
Established in 1859, Missouri Botanical Garden is the oldest botanical garden in continuous use in North America. It is recognized internationally for its scientific research.

Since young children went back to school across Sweden recently, many of their teachers have been putting a new emphasis on printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice, and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.
The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalized approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.
Sweden’s minister for schools, Lotta Edholm was one of the biggest critics of the all-out embrace of technology. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” Edholm said in March. “Physical books are important for student learning.” The minister announced in August that the government wanted to change the decision by the national agency for education to make digital devices compulsory in preschools. It plans to go further and to completely end digital learning for children under age six, the ministry has told the Associated Press.
Although Sweden’s students score above the European average for reading ability, an international assessment of fourth-grade reading levels, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), highlighted a decline among Sweden’s children between 2016 and 2021.
In comparison, Singapore — which topped the rankings — improved its PIRLS reading scores from 576 to 587 during the same period, and England’s average reading achievement score fell only slightly, from 559 in 2016 to 558 in 2021. An overuse of screens during school lessons may cause youngsters to fall behind in core subjects, education experts say. “There’s clear scientific evidence that digital tools impair rather than enhance student learning,” Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, a highly respected medical school focused on research, said in a statement in August on the country’s national digitalization strategy in education.
“We believe the focus should return to acquiring knowledge through printed textbooks and teacher expertise, rather than acquiring knowledge primarily from freely available digital sources that have not been checked for accuracy.” the school added.
24. Why do Swedish schools return to paper books
A. To cater to parents’ increasing needs.
B. To help with children’s independent learning.
C. To overcome children’s addiction to digital tools.
D. To avoid possible decline in children’s basic skills.
25. What does the underlined words “all-out embrace” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Total acceptance. B. Creative use. C. Rapid development. D. Serious addiction.
26. What might Karolinska Institute agree with
A. Teachers should acquire more knowledge.
B. Knowledge from digital tools may not be reliable.
C. Digital tools smooth out learning barriers for children.
D. The accessibility to digital sources should be improved.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Swedish Children’s Return to Paper B. Problems with Children’s Education
C. Popularity of Digitalization in Sweden D. Enhancement of Teaching Strategies in Sweden
C
Cut into the trunk of a pine tree, and you will see a familiar series of concentric (同中心的) rings. But not all trunks tell the same story. A study published in November reveals that the world’s oldest trees had a very different structure.
Some 370 million years ago, cladoxylopsid trees stood at least eight meters tall, covered by branches instead of leaves. Today their rare remains reveal little about their insides; in most cases their inner structures had rotted before the trees fossilize, and storms had filled them with sand. But the recent find of two well-preserved fossils in China has exposed the trees’ inner workings — which are like no other species studied before.
The cladoxylopsid tree was empty inside. Around the edges were thick, vertical strands (缕) containing xylem (木质部), a plant tissue that conducts water and mineral salts from the roots to all other parts. Modern trees add new layers of multiple xylem as they grow, creating a woody trunk with a single set of concentric rings. But in cladoxylopsids, “each strand of xylem had its own growth rings,” says scientist Christopher M. Berry of Cardiff University in Wales.
Over a tree’s lifetime the strands would weave and cross. “It’s just incredibly complex,” Berry says. He likens these networks of flexible tissues and structures to the Eiffel Tower — if tower could grow, extend and split itself apart over time.
Although the cladoxylopsid tree has no living descendants today, it is very important. Brigitte Meyer-Berthaud, a scientist, explains that these trees were among “the major carbon reservoirs of the Paleozoic”, a time period from 542 million to 251 million years ago. Cladoxylopsids made up our planet’s first forests, capturing carbon from the atmosphere and playing a part in adjusting Earth’s climate. Given this fact, maybe we should study these trees for the forests.
28. What makes it hard to study cladoxylopsid trees
A. Their thick leaves. B. Their amazing height.
C. Their poorly preserved remains. D. Their fossilized inner structures.
29. What do we know about cladoxylopsid trees
A. They had many separate growth rings.
B. Their solid cores contributed to their growth.
C. They had a single set of regular concentric rings.
D. Their roots needed more mineral salts than water.
30. Why does the author mention “the Eiffel Tower” in paragraph 4
A. To stress the beauty of the Eiffel Tower.
B. To prove the economic status of the tree.
C. To disclose how limited the tree’s lifetime is.
D. To show how complex the tree’s networks are.
31. Why should we study cladoxylopsid trees
A. They were the only trees present during the Paleozoic era.
B. They helped scientists better protect rich historical culture.
C. They played a significant role in shaping the Earth as it is.
D. They determined the carbon content in the Earth’s atmosphere.
D
In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live concert lives on. People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together. They are also dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the experiment, participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain that process emotions. In the live condition pianists were instructed to change their playing in order to drive the activity in one of these regions known as the amygdala.
The results, just published in the journal PNAS, showed that live music had far more emotional impact. Whether the music was happy or sad, listening to the pianist playing in a dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network.
The study was far from reconstructing the real experience of a concert, and the authors noted that the live music ended up sounding quite different from the recorded tracks, which may have driven some of the differences in participant’s brain activity. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist — ABBA Voyage is a social, immersive show performed entirely by pre-recorded hologram avatars (全息图). But without Benny’s (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. What caused the scientists to study music listeners’ brain response
A. People’s preference to recorded music. B. The important social function of concerts.
C. The changeable characteristic of live music. D. The easy accessibility of streaming services.
33. How did the researchers carry out the experiment
A. By clarifying a concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing previous data. D. By referring to another study.
34. Why does live music feel better than recorded music
A. It offers a more traditional and raw sound.
B. It engages the brain’s emotion centers more.
C. It fosters a sense of community and shared energy.
D. It guarantees a deeper understanding of the music.
35. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. The artists will be replaced by technology soon.
B. The immersive audio makes live music special.
C. The study recreated the experience of a real concert.
D. It is crucial for musicians to read the audiences’ mind.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With summer fast approaching, it’s time to book your trips. 36 Here is something we can do to avoid them.
Fail to disclose pre-existing medical conditions. It’s crucial that you tell your insurance provider about any medical conditions you have. 37 If you fail to disclose the problems, you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday. If you’re not sure if you need to mention a medical condition you have, it’s worth asking your insurance provider.
Don’t let your insurance provider know if there are any changes to your pre-existing medical conditions. To make sure you’re not out of pocket during your holiday, you need to inform your insurance provider of any developments in your medical history. 38 If anything changes in health, let your insurer know as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
39 A good rule of thumb is to organize your travel insurance at the same time you book your holiday. Travel insurance covers you for your holiday as well as the period leading up to it. By booking your insurance at the same time as the holiday itself, you’ll be covered if anything changes, or you need to cancel your trip. Make sure you organize insurance well in advance.
Get your details wrong when booking travel insurance. Make sure to check your details carefully. You won’t be covered if you’ve given your insurer the wrong information. Double-check everything you’ve entered before finalizing your travel insurance. 40
Make sure you compare key features and benefits of travel insurance policies, and not just the price. Insurance is vital for your trip, so make sure you take the time to understand what you’re paying for.
A. Leave buying insurance until the last minute.
B. Taking out an annual policy for a long-stay trip.
C. This includes any medical problems you have experienced.
D. Ensure you check your details as soon as you receive your documents.
E. Insurers ask for medical changes in order to give you the right level of cover.
F. Make sure you have travel insurance and cards to avoid any unexpected payments.
G. However, there are several travel insurance mistakes to stop you from getting a payout.

Scanning the court, Luis pretended to pass the ball to another teammate but finally gave it to Nicholas. As Luis expected, Nicholas kicked hard and... GOAL! Just then, Devon walked up angrily. “What were you DOING there, Luis !” he yelled. Luis rolled his eyes.
Devon started playing soccer with them weeks ago. He was nice when he felt like things in the game had gone his way. Otherwise, he would lose temper.
“Playing soccer.” Luis shrugged. “Why didn’t you pass to me I was closer to the goal than Nicholas.” Devon yelled again.
As the group walked in, Devon continued. Luis ignored him to avoid arguing. Nicholas approached and began complaining about Devon’s yelling and disrespect. “What can you do about that ” Luis asked. Nicolas said he wanted to organize a new team without Devon. Luis was upset to hear that. Nicholas said, “It’s more fun before he started playing with us. I’ve told the other teammates. They agreed.”
Reaching home, Luis dragged his feet into his bedroom, which confused his mom. “What’s wrong ” She asked. Then, Luis told what happened to her. “Have any of you tried talking to Devon about this ” She asked. “I don’t know.” Luis scratched his head.
“Maybe a boundary could help. When playing soccer, how do you know whether someone is at the right position on the court What’s that line called ” Mom reminded. “A boundary.” Luis murmured.
“Tell Devon whether he’s crossing a line with how he talks.” She suggested. Luis took the advice and decided to have a try.
The next day at school, Luis found Devon and told him all the teammates liked playing soccer with him but they didn’t like being yelled at by him.
“I don’t yell at people.” Devon immediately interrupted.
“You yelled at me the other day because I didn’t pass to you,” Luis reminded calmly. “And you are yelling now. If you keep yelling at your teammate, we won’t play with you anymore.”
Devon was too embarrassed to speak. “Being yelled at isn’t fun but playing soccer is supposed to be fun.” Luis said, patting Devon’s shoulder gently.
Later, during the training, Luis met Nicholas and told him what he’d told Devon.

Since young children went back to school across Sweden recently, many of their teachers have been putting a new emphasis on printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice, and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.
The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to politicians and experts questioning whether Sweden’s hyper-digitalized approach to education, including the introduction of tablets in nursery schools, had led to a decline in basic skills.
Sweden’s minister for schools, Lotta Edholm was one of the biggest critics of the all-out embrace of technology. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” Edholm said in March. “Physical books are important for student learning.” The minister announced in August that the government wanted to change the decision by the national agency for education to make digital devices compulsory in preschools. It plans to go further and to completely end digital learning for children under age six, the ministry has told the Associated Press.
Although Sweden’s students score above the European average for reading ability, an international assessment of fourth-grade reading levels, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), highlighted a decline among Sweden’s children between 2016 and 2021.
In comparison, Singapore — which topped the rankings — improved its PIRLS reading scores from 576 to 587 during the same period, and England’s average reading achievement score fell only slightly, from 559 in 2016 to 558 in 2021. An overuse of screens during school lessons may cause youngsters to fall behind in core subjects, education experts say. “There’s clear scientific evidence that digital tools impair rather than enhance student learning,” Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, a highly respected medical school focused on research, said in a statement in August on the country’s national digitalization strategy in education.
“We believe the focus should return to acquiring knowledge through printed textbooks and teacher expertise, rather than acquiring knowledge primarily from freely available digital sources that have not been checked for accuracy.” the school added.
24. Why do Swedish schools return to paper books
A. To cater to parents’ increasing needs.
B. To help with children’s independent learning.
C. To overcome children’s addiction to digital tools.
D. To avoid possible decline in children’s basic skills.
25. What does the underlined words “all-out embrace” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Total acceptance. B. Creative use. C. Rapid development. D. Serious addiction.
26. What might Karolinska Institute agree with
A. Teachers should acquire more knowledge.
B. Knowledge from digital tools may not be reliable.
C. Digital tools smooth out learning barriers for children.
D. The accessibility to digital sources should be improved.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Swedish Children’s Return to Paper B. Problems with Children’s Education
C. Popularity of Digitalization in Sweden D. Enhancement of Teaching Strategies in Sweden
24D. To avoid possible decline in children’s basic skills. 瑞典学校回归纸质书籍的原因是为了防止孩子们的基本技能可能出现的下降。文章中提到，教育工作者和专家们质疑瑞典超数字化的教育方式，包括在幼儿园引入平板电脑，是否导致了基础技能的下降。
25A. Total acceptance. “all-out embrace”在第三段中意味着全面接受。这里指的是瑞典学校对技术的全面接受，特别是在教育领域。
26B. Knowledge from digital tools may not be reliable. 卡罗琳斯卡医学院（Karolinska Institute）可能会同意来自数字工具的知识可能不可靠。学校在声明中提到，应该回归通过纸质教科书和教师专业知识获取知识，而不是主要从未经准确性检查的自由获取的数字资源中获取知识。
27A. Swedish Children’s Return to Paper 适合本文的标题是“A. Swedish Children’s Return to Paper”（瑞典儿童回归纸质书籍）。这个标题准确地概括了文章的主要内容，即瑞典学校重新强调纸质书籍、安静的阅读时间和书写练习，减少对平板电脑、独立的在线研究和键盘技能的依赖。

Cut into the trunk of a pine tree, and you will see a familiar series of concentric (同中心的) rings. But not all trunks tell the same story. A study published in November reveals that the world’s oldest trees had a very different structure.
Some 370 million years ago, cladoxylopsid trees stood at least eight meters tall, covered by branches instead of leaves. Today their rare remains reveal little about their insides; in most cases their inner structures had rotted before the trees fossilize, and storms had filled them with sand. But the recent find of two well-preserved fossils in China has exposed the trees’ inner workings — which are like no other species studied before.
The cladoxylopsid tree was empty inside. Around the edges were thick, vertical strands (缕) containing xylem (木质部), a plant tissue that conducts water and mineral salts from the roots to all other parts. Modern trees add new layers of multiple xylem as they grow, creating a woody trunk with a single set of concentric rings. But in cladoxylopsids, “each strand of xylem had its own growth rings,” says scientist Christopher M. Berry of Cardiff University in Wales.
Over a tree’s lifetime the strands would weave and cross. “It’s just incredibly complex,” Berry says. He likens these networks of flexible tissues and structures to the Eiffel Tower — if tower could grow, extend and split itself apart over time.
Although the cladoxylopsid tree has no living descendants today, it is very important. Brigitte Meyer-Berthaud, a scientist, explains that these trees were among “the major carbon reservoirs of the Paleozoic”, a time period from 542 million to 251 million years ago. Cladoxylopsids made up our planet’s first forests, capturing carbon from the atmosphere and playing a part in adjusting Earth’s climate. Given this fact, maybe we should study these trees for the forests.
28. What makes it hard to study cladoxylopsid trees
A. Their thick leaves. B. Their amazing height.
C. Their poorly preserved remains. D. Their fossilized inner structures.
29. What do we know about cladoxylopsid trees
A. They had many separate growth rings.
B. Their solid cores contributed to their growth.
C. They had a single set of regular concentric rings.
D. Their roots needed more mineral salts than water.
30. Why does the author mention “the Eiffel Tower” in paragraph 4
A. To stress the beauty of the Eiffel Tower.
B. To prove the economic status of the tree.
C. To disclose how limited the tree’s lifetime is.
D. To show how complex the tree’s networks are.
31. Why should we study cladoxylopsid trees
A. They were the only trees present during the Paleozoic era.
B. They helped scientists better protect rich historical culture.
C. They played a significant role in shaping the Earth as it is.
D. They determined the carbon content in the Earth’s atmosphere.
28C. Their poorly preserved remains. 研究cladoxylopsid树的难点在于它们的遗骸保存状况不佳。文章中提到，这些树的内部结构在树木变成化石之前就已经腐烂了，而且风暴还把它们填满了沙子。
29A. They had many separate growth rings. 关于cladoxylopsid树，我们知道它们有许多独立的生长环。科学家Christopher M. Berry提到，在cladoxylopsids中，“每根木质部都有自己的生长环”。
30D. To show how complex the tree’s networks are. 作者在第四段提到“埃菲尔铁塔”是为了展示这些树的网络结构是多么复杂。科学家将这些由灵活的组织和结构构成的网络比作埃菲尔铁塔——如果铁塔能够生长、延伸并在时间上分裂的话。
31C. They played a significant role in shaping the Earth as it is. 我们应该研究cladoxylopsid树，因为它们在塑造地球方面发挥了重要作用。科学家Brigitte Meyer-Berthaud解释说，这些树是古生代（一个从5.42亿年前到2.51亿年前的时间段）的“主要碳汇”，构成了我们星球上的第一个森林，从大气中捕获碳，并在调节地球气候中发挥作用。

In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live concert lives on. People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together. They are also dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the experiment, participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain that process emotions. In the live condition pianists were instructed to change their playing in order to drive the activity in one of these regions known as the amygdala.
The results, just published in the journal PNAS, showed that live music had far more emotional impact. Whether the music was happy or sad, listening to the pianist playing in a dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network.
The study was far from reconstructing the real experience of a concert, and the authors noted that the live music ended up sounding quite different from the recorded tracks, which may have driven some of the differences in participant’s brain activity. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist — ABBA Voyage is a social, immersive show performed entirely by pre-recorded hologram avatars (全息图). But without Benny’s (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. What caused the scientists to study music listeners’ brain response
A. People’s preference to recorded music. B. The important social function of concerts.
C. The changeable characteristic of live music. D. The easy accessibility of streaming services.
33. How did the researchers carry out the experiment
A. By clarifying a concept. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing previous data. D. By referring to another study.
34. Why does live music feel better than recorded music
A. It offers a more traditional and raw sound.
B. It engages the brain’s emotion centers more.
C. It fosters a sense of community and shared energy.
D. It guarantees a deeper understanding of the music.
35. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. The artists will be replaced by technology soon.
B. The immersive audio makes live music special.
C. The study recreated the experience of a real concert.
D. It is crucial for musicians to read the audiences’ mind.
32C. The changeable characteristic of live music. 科学家之所以研究音乐听众的大脑反应，是因为现场音乐的可变性特征。文中提到，艺术家可以根据观众的反应调整他们的演奏，这是现场音乐与录制音乐的一个重要区别。
33B. By making a comparison. 研究人员通过比较现场音乐和录制音乐条件下的参与者的大脑活动来执行实验。实验中，参与者在核磁共振扫描仪中通过耳机听音乐，而钢琴家则在房间外，并根据参与者的实时大脑活动作为反馈来调整演奏。
34B. It engages the brain’s emotion centers more. 现场音乐比录制音乐感觉更好，因为它更多地激活了大脑处理情感的区域。研究表明，无论是快乐还是悲伤的音乐，以动态的方式聆听钢琴家的演奏都能在杏仁核和大脑情感处理网络的其他部分产生更多的活动。
35D. It is crucial for musicians to read the audiences’ mind. 从最后一段我们知道，对于音乐家来说，能够读懂房间的情绪是至关重要的。尽管像ABBA Voyage这样的一些音乐表演现在尝试通过全息图重现真实的音乐会体验，但没有了像Benny这样的乐队成员能够感知房间的情绪，它永远无法完全达到真实音乐会的效果。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With summer fast approaching, it’s time to book your trips. 36 Here is something we can do to avoid them.
Fail to disclose pre-existing medical conditions. It’s crucial that you tell your insurance provider about any medical conditions you have. 37 If you fail to disclose the problems, you won’t be covered for any issues related to the condition while you’re on holiday. If you’re not sure if you need to mention a medical condition you have, it’s worth asking your insurance provider.
Don’t let your insurance provider know if there are any changes to your pre-existing medical conditions. To make sure you’re not out of pocket during your holiday, you need to inform your insurance provider of any developments in your medical history. 38 If anything changes in health, let your insurer know as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
39 A good rule of thumb is to organize your travel insurance at the same time you book your holiday. Travel insurance covers you for your holiday as well as the period leading up to it. By booking your insurance at the same time as the holiday itself, you’ll be covered if anything changes, or you need to cancel your trip. Make sure you organize insurance well in advance.
Get your details wrong when booking travel insurance. Make sure to check your details carefully. You won’t be covered if you’ve given your insurer the wrong information. Double-check everything you’ve entered before finalizing your travel insurance. 40
Make sure you compare key features and benefits of travel insurance policies, and not just the price. Insurance is vital for your trip, so make sure you take the time to understand what you’re paying for.
A. Leave buying insurance until the last minute.
B. Taking out an annual policy for a long-stay trip.
C. This includes any medical problems you have experienced.
D. Ensure you check your details as soon as you receive your documents.
E. Insurers ask for medical changes in order to give you the right level of cover.
F. Make sure you have travel insurance and cards to avoid any unexpected payments.

36G. However, there are several travel insurance mistakes to stop you from getting a payout. 这句话作为引言，指出了接下来将讨论的旅行保险中应避免的几个错误。
37C. This includes any medical problems you have experienced. 这句话说明了需要告知保险公司你遇到的任何医疗问题，以确保在假期中与该病症相关的任何问题都能得到保险覆盖。
38E. Insurers ask for medical changes in order to give you the right level of cover. 这句话解释了保险公司为什么需要了解你的医疗状况变化，以便为你提供适当级别的保险覆盖。
39B. Taking out an annual policy for a long-stay trip. 这句话建议，如果你的旅行时间较长，可以考虑购买年度保险政策。
40D. Ensure you check your details as soon as you receive your documents. 这句话提醒读者在收到保险文件后立即检查详细信息，以确保信息的准确性。
#请注意，选项A "Leave buying insurance until the last minute." 和选项F "Make sure you have travel insurance and cards to avoid any unexpected payments." 在文中没有提及，因此它们是多余的选项。

Scanning the court, Luis pretended to pass the ball to another teammate but finally gave it to Nicholas. As Luis expected, Nicholas kicked hard and... GOAL! Just then, Devon walked up angrily. “What were you DOING there, Luis !” he yelled. Luis rolled his eyes.
Devon started playing soccer with them weeks ago. He was nice when he felt like things in the game had gone his way. Otherwise, he would lose temper.
“Playing soccer.” Luis shrugged. “Why didn’t you pass to me I was closer to the goal than Nicholas.” Devon yelled again.
As the group walked in, Devon continued. Luis ignored him to avoid arguing. Nicholas approached and began complaining about Devon’s yelling and disrespect. “What can you do about that ” Luis asked. Nicolas said he wanted to organize a new team without Devon. Luis was upset to hear that. Nicholas said, “It’s more fun before he started playing with us. I’ve told the other teammates. They agreed.”
Reaching home, Luis dragged his feet into his bedroom, which confused his mom. “What’s wrong ” She asked. Then, Luis told what happened to her. “Have any of you tried talking to Devon about this ” She asked. “I don’t know.” Luis scratched his head.
“Maybe a boundary could help. When playing soccer, how do you know whether someone is at the right position on the court What’s that line called ” Mom reminded. “A boundary.” Luis murmured.
“Tell Devon whether he’s crossing a line with how he talks.” She suggested. Luis took the advice and decided to have a try.
The next day at school, Luis found Devon and told him all the teammates liked playing soccer with him but they didn’t like being yelled at by him.
“I don’t yell at people.” Devon immediately interrupted.
“You yelled at me the other day because I didn’t pass to you,” Luis reminded calmly. “And you are yelling now. If you keep yelling at your teammate, we won’t play with you anymore.”
Devon was too embarrassed to speak. “Being yelled at isn’t fun but playing soccer is supposed to be fun.” Luis said, patting Devon’s shoulder gently.
Later, during the training, Luis met Nicholas and told him what he’d told Devon.
