Peter loves baseball. Last summer, he helped to coach a school baseball team. When he first watched the team of 12yearolds play baseball, his first impressions (印象) were not really positive.
Some players often left as soon as they started losing. Other players paid too much attention to all their mistakes during the game or preferred to dig up the grass when they weren’t in the play. A lot of boys threw their baseball bats when they lost the catch.
While their baseball skills improved over time with more practice, there were still problems. The team had a long way to go. For example, some boys were hard on those who made mistakes. Instead of being supportive or encouraging, they blamed (责怪) each other.
Peter started oneonone talks with each player to discuss things that he had noticed. Some were about skills like holding the bat up higher or opening their eyes when they were making a catch. But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.
Things began to change slowly. The boys began to take the duties for their play instead of blaming others for mistakes. They stayed positive even when losing. The team culture was improving.
Players began encouraging each other, highfiving and supporting teammates. Peter was especially pleased to see some of the boys taking leadership (领导) roles and having their own oneonone talks with their teammates.
Peter didn’t think he made huge progress in teaching the boys how to throw, catch or hit better, but he was pleased that their conversations around the character led to something positive. Although the team still lost games, their character became stronger. Next season, their character will be tested again.
4. Which is one of the negative behaviors the players showed when Peter first watched them
A．They gave up when they started losing.
B．They refused to practice baseball skills.
C．They paid no attention to their teammates.
D．They argued with the coach during games.

A．Improving baseball techniques.
B．Keeping a positive attitude.

A．By studying other teams’ game videos.
B．By practicing baseball skills every night.
C．By encouraging and supporting each other.
D．By asking Peter to punish players who played poorly.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A．Team Success: Improved Baseball Skills
B．The Real Progress: Stronger Character
C．Team Culture: Ending Teammate Blame
D．Player Growth: Taking Leadership Roles

The school year just started on September 7 for New York City students but there’s something new on the class schedule: mindful breathing (正念呼吸). This is part of a plan to improve the mental and physical health of students by putting mindfulness into the school day.
The teachers began training on how to include mindful breathing into the school day over the summer break. The city’s department of education teamed up with the Yoga Alliance, a professional organization to create the yoga and mindfulness program.
The mindful breathing practices will be rolled out soon for all students from preK through 12th grade and will consist of onetofive minute daily sessions. At least one teacher per school will be trained to lead the breathing exercises.
The program was trialed (试验) in the spring of 2023 in Public School 5 in the BedfordStuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn, reported CBS News. Third grade students Noah, Cach and Shawn believe the program is working. “When I get into problems, I take a breath so nothing can happen to me,” Shawn told CBS.
Eric Adams, NYC’s mayor (市长), and David Banks, the Schools Chancellor, said that this is just the first step in creating more mindful schools that will include gardens, peaceful rest spots, and yoga.
While Eastern cultures have used deep breathing exercises for thousands of years, this is something that hasn’t been taught in the Western world, Adams told The New York Times (NYT). “There’s a science to breathing,” he said.
While some say that the program doesn’t go far enough to solve the mental health crises that exist now, reported the NYT, the mayor said it’s a lowcost way to help improve students’ wellbeing. A program to provide virtual mental health support for high schoolers is being planned but no details have been released.
“I get asked many questions from parents about ‘What are you doing Kids are going through a lot. What are your mental health programs for ’” Banks said. “There’s nothing more important that we could teach our kids than mindful breathing.”
8. What did the department of education of New York do to launch the program
A．It made guidelines on how to do breathing exercises.
B．It founded a special club to offer professional training.
C．It made students realize the importance of mindfulness.
D．It cooperated with a professional organization for training.
9. How will the mindful breathing practices be carried out
A．They’ll be led by the headmaster.
B．They’ll include everyone in the school.
C．They’ll last within 5 minutes every day.
D．They will be done mainly in a certain school.
10. What might be the reason the mayor decided to introduce mindful breathing in schools
A．The wide spread of yoga.
B．Its popularity with students.
C．Its proved effects and low cost.
D．The students’ breathing problems.
11. What can we infer about the program from Banks’s words
A．It is based on science.
B．It meets parents’ needs.
C．It receives some doubts.
D．It is intended for the sick.

In the animal kingdom, killer whales (虎鲸) are social stars: they travel in varied family groups, care for grandchildren, and even imitate human speech. Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.
Some ocean animals maintain social structures — including male dolphins that learn the “names” of their close allies (盟友). But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone (无人机) technology came in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120 meters above a group of killer whales. That was high enough not to trouble the whales, marking the first time drones have been used to study friendly physical contact in whales.
The researchers recorded over 800 instances of physical contact between individuals. Those included hugs, backtoback and nosetonose touches between pairs of whales. Other whales playfully threw young whales into the air, letting them fall into the water. Besides, the drone images revealed clear preferences among individuals, usually for one “best friend” of the same sex and age. Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged 9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each other,” Weiss says.
The young led most of these interactions, rather than the older females or males. Older males in particular were less important. “The young individuals really seem to be the glue holding the groups together,” Weiss says. As individuals age, this gradual loss of “centrality” is known in many social mammals, including humans. That finding is “especially appealing” to Stacey Tecot, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Scientists have long observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says Weiss.
12. What does the underlined word “rival” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Benefit from. B．Be equal to. C．Depend on. D．Be fond of.
13. What is new about Weiss’ research
A．The research method.
B．The variety of species.
C．The size of the research team.
D．The time spent on the research.
14. What did Weiss find about J49 and J51
A．They have a lasting friendship.
B．Their interactions are more complicated.
C．Their communicating ways change frequently.
D．They prefer playing with young female whales.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．More researchers will take part in the study.
B．Other scientists take a negative attitude to the research.
C．Researchers will collect more data to study killer whales.
D．Researchers will uncover the social aging trend in animals soon.
