    Famous tennis coach Nick Bollettieri considered tennis star Roger Federer the greatest player of all time, saying he is “in a class of his own”. The Swiss maestro(大师) won his record eighth Wimbledon title this month, defeating Croatian Marin Cilic in the final, and going to the entire tournament without dropping a single set.

    The 36-year-old now has 19 Grand Slam titles, the most in history for a male tennis player. Bollettieri, who has coached some of the most successful tennis players ever including Andre Agassi and Jim Corurier, believes Federer stands out from the rest due to all the efforts he makes on and off the court. “When you get to know the greatest player of all time, I believe you will join with many commentators in saying Roger is standing in a class of his own,” Bollettien told Saturday Sport. “He is magnificent in expecting what to do. He has improved his backhand and also he is hitting the ball much earlier, and he is one of, if not the best placement server(发球员) in the game.”

    His management team headed by Tony Godsick takes care of his mind and body, time with his family, time with his foundation and time with rest. He also respects the game and his opponents(对手). Despite his impressive record, Federer has struggled against the other top players of this generation, including Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Along with Andy Murray, they are known as tennis “big four”, and Federer has a combined 50-57 record against the other three during his career.

    However, Bollettieri doesn't think that will have any impact on Federer's greatness if he keeps on playing the way he is at his age. Bollettieri said, “Age is only a number. It is how you feel inside you. I believe a lot of people today can do a lot better if their mindset is to say I will get better every day and never use the word “retirement”. When you worry about losing, it is more difficult to win.”

24. What does Bollettieri mean by saying he is “in a class of his own”?

  A. Roger is a tennis player second to none. B. Roger is a particular favorite of his.

  C. Roger is proud and prefers being alone. D. Roger has difficulty getting along with others.

25. What can we know about Roger from the passage?

  A. He is in full charge of his life and career.

  B. Hard work is a major factor in his success.

  C. Deep respect develops between him and Tony.

  D. His greatest achievement is made in his thirties.

26. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

  A. Roger's increased age.     B. Roger's positive attitude.

  C. Roger's impressive record.    D. Roger's losing to other famous players.

27. What does Bollettieri want to stress in the last paragraph?

  A. Failure is nothing to fear.    B. Everyone needs to look forward. 

  C. Being positive is very important.   D. One is never too old to learn.

                                     C

In a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack(侵入), and here millions of people are victims(受害者) of identity theft every year, the next step in Internet security may well be mapping your brain.

Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York are working on a biometric(生物特征识别的) system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more improvement, the scientists’ brainchild could become the way you get into a deposit box(存款箱), your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.

They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjects. The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes(电极) attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols—celebrity faces, words, pictures of food—on a computer screen in 200-millisecond bursts. The brain’s reaction was recorded.

The idea is that every time a person needs to use a “password”, he or she goes through the same process, and the results are matched with their first­time reaction. If the “brainprint” breaks down—like what happened with the fingerprint records—then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves. “Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else”, says professor Laszlo.

Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 percent accurate. So one of the more difficult parts of making the system practical has already been overcome. Now, they’re spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes, which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses. They’re also working with cheaper materials and different methods to see if they can bring the cost down.

28. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The brain function.      B. The fingerprint record.

C. The online password.      D. The biometric system.

29. Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjects?

A. To check the brain’s reaction.    B. To match brainprints with pictures. 

C. To create their brainprints.    D. To connect brain waves to electrodes.

30. What will happen when a brainprint fails?

A. A spare one will be ready beforehand.   B. A new one will be set again.

C. The users’ security will be leaked(泄露). D. The fingerprint record will replace it.

31. What are the researchers doing with the program now?

A. Making it user-friendly.     B. Improving its accuracy.

C. Recording more brainprints.    D. Increasing the number of electrodes.

                                D

A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. Having made a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?”

Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should achieve, they are crushed by self-blame.

We often talk about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else playing a role in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.

Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a wrong application of “mindset” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone.

The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question and doubt a culture that has taught them that stopping to have a rest during study means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers should spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature.

The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of striking us by surprise when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.

32. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to?

A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism.

B. Those tired of working all night in the library.

C. Those believing hard work surely pay off.

D. Those overprotected by their parents in life.

33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases.

B. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids.

C. Parents should attach more importance to their kids’ academic performance.

D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends.

34. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life?

A. By choosing where to go to college for them.

B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality.

C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard.

D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love.

35. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Students should not expect too much from their study.

B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily.

C. Students should bear all the failures on their own.

D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best.
