The men did not want to golf with her nor did they take her seriously. But then, she won her first game. After that, she had
2、all the confidence she needed to keep playing and defeating male golfers. Dieye is the only professional female golfer in Senegal. She was introduced to golf by her brother-in-law and immediately fell in love. Not long after she began competing, Dieye was given a chance to train in Morocco. With the
3、 financial support from her French golf partners, she spent three months training with the Moroccan Golf Federation. She said she enjoyed the experience so much that she returned to Morocco and stayed for seven years. While there, she also taught children at a golfing school. Today her home is fille
4、d with many golfing awards. She has won so many that she has lost track of the number. What she has done is notable because Senegal is a conservative, Muslim nation. There is much pressure from society for women not to be involved in professional sports. The country practices a more liberal form of
5、Islam (伊斯兰教). However, the culture still has traditional ideas of what women should do. A woman who chooses sports over duties at home risks being rejected by her family. At first, her family was not supportive. But after seeing her love of the sport, they changed their minds. In 2018, when Dieye re
6、turned from Morocco, she was not happy about the state of golf in her home country. She wanted to create a golf school similar to the one in Morocco. In 2020, the Senegalese Golf Federation agreed to help Dieye establish a golf school in preparation for the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics in Dakar. It wi

9、the country.3Which of the following best describes Dieye?AA pioneer.BAn explorer.CA producer.DAn investigator.A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent. Now in her 60s, Genovefa Klonovska said after being handed the letter, “I th
10、ought that someone was pranking me.” The letter included a handmade, colored rose and two paper dolls. It was sent to Klonovska by a young girl in Poland. They exchanged letters in what is known as a pen pal program when people write letters to each other without actually meeting. The letter, togeth
11、er with 17 others, was discovered this past summer when a wall was taken down in a former post office in Vilnius. The letters, from the late 1960s and early 1970s, were likely hidden by a postal worker after he searched them for money or valuables, Vilutis said. The senders were family members or pe
12、n pals from places such as Australia, Poland, or Russia. Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. Post office workers spent months looking for the people who were supposed to receive the letters the recipients. Only five recipients were found. In several cases,
13、 children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter. Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of Lithuania Post, said we felt a moral duty to do this. Zebrauskaite added, “One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional (动情的). Some people felt they
14、saw a part of daily life of their dead parents.”In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koczary in Poland, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village. Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address in an advertisement for pen-pals in
15、a newspaper. Their relationship stopped after the letter was not delivered. “The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska. She then asked, “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?”4The word “pranking” in paragraph 2 means _.Aplaying

18、st letters could have caused serious consequences.They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor
19、 Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the s
20、urvey was about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified (明确规定). No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early respons
21、es, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasnt surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they rece
22、ived the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forg
23、et, postponing it results in lower response rates.”He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do.
24、“Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.”7Why did Professor Knowles do the research?ATo study the role a deadline plays in procrastination.BTo find out whether people are interested in charity.CTo attract public attenti
25、on to the effects of procrastination.DTo test the effect of procrastination on task completion.8What most likely leads to procrastination?ANo deadlines.BShort deadlines.CSpecific deadlines.DLong deadlines.9Why do people procrastinate when given a long deadline?AThey oppose the deadline.BThey are unw

27、ng is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them? A few famous people may give you some helpful tips. Read books from past eras. _11_ Otherwise, youd be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Alert Einstein put it. “Some
28、body who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said. _12_Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-cent

31、 Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. _14_ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read.” Make the final decision by yourself. _15_ Its you yourself who should choose what, how and when to
