I LOVE FOOTBALL. I started playing when I was nine years old, and football got me through difficult periods. It helps make me who I am today. And even though I did not reach the National Football League, I sometimes think I got more from achieving that dream, without realizing it.

My romance with football started when my dad drove me, kicking and screaming, to join a league. I didn’t want to be there at first. I was naturally weak and small. Fear turned to awe ( 敬畏 ) when I met my coach, Jim Graham, a huge and strong guy. And he was really strict and old-school.

Coach Graham used to drive me hard. I remember one practice in particular. “You’re doing it all wrong, Pausch. Go back! Do it again!” I tried to do what he wanted. But it wasn’t enough. “You owe( 欠 ) me, Pausch! You’re doing push-ups after practice.

When the practice was over, one of the assistant coaches came up to me. “Coach Graham drove you pretty hard, didn’t he?” he said.

“Yeah.”

“That’s a good thing,” the assistant told me. “When you’re doing badly and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve given up on you.”

That conversation has been with me closely my whole life. When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s willing to tell you anymore, that’s a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but those who always push you hard in your life are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.

There’s a lot of talk these days about giving children self-respect. It’s not something you can give; it’s something they have to build. Coach Graham knew there was really only one way to teach kids how to make it stronger: You give them something they can’t do; they work hard until they find they can do it, and you just keep repeating.

When Coach Graham first got hold of me, I was a weak kid with no skills and no physical strength. But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do tomorrow that I can’t do today. I really felt thankful to Coach Graham for what he had done to me, though it surely didn’t feel good at that time to do so many push-ups after practice.

You come home on a hot summer day, hoping to have a cool bath, but find there is no water. Then you see how important water is in your daily life. While sometimes you have the idea , in many parts of the world, water is not just about one’s everyday needs.

In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting water falls on women’s shoulders. Girls often have to leave school to collect water, while their brothers stay at school studying. The girls spend more time collecting water. That means they have less time for learning.

For these girls, “Knowledge is Power” is not just words; it’s a sad fact in real life. As they spend less time at school, they have fewer chances of getting good jobs, and they often have no choices on important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families. They have little money or knowledge to take care of their children. For the baby girls who are lucky enough to survive( 生存 ) , their life may be still around “water”, just like their mothers’.

Art and science may seem like polar opposites. One involves the creative ideas, and the other cold, hard numbers — or some people believe so. In fact, both require a lot of creativity. People also use both to better understand the world around us. Now, a study finds art also can help students remember better what they have learned in science class.

Mariale Hardiman is an education expert at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Back when she was a school headmaster, she had noticed students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their lessons had involved art. To test whether and how well art might really improve learning, Hardiman teamed up with other researchers and six local schools.

The researchers created art-focused versions （版本） of traditional science lessons. In a traditional science classroom, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused class, they might sing the information instead. Each student in the experiment had both an art-focused class and a traditional one.

Before and after each period of the experiment, students took tests. They took a third one 10 weeks later. This one tested how well they still remembered what they learned two months earlier. The team also looked at each student's performance in a reading test. This let them compare how art and non-art classrooms influenced students with different learning abilities.

Students who read at or above their grade level did just as well in both types of classes. Those who had lower reading abilities got much more of the science if it had been taught in an art-focused class.

Hardiman says some kids actually performed best in the third test months later. And classroom teachers reported “many students continued to sing the songs they learned in an art-focused class after finishing the unit. "

Students who started in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional class. "Some continued to draw or sing to help them remember information, Hardiman notes. "This suggests that the arts may help students use creative ways of learning on their own. ”

Everyone benefits from the arts, Hardiman agrees. "All educators should learn how to use the arts as an instructional tool to improve learning. "

1 ． Paragraph 2 mainly introduces ___________________.

A ． the background of the experiment B ． the researchers of the experiment

C ． the conclusion of the experiment D ． the design of the experiment

2 ． By studying the students’ reading performance, the researchers found_____________.

A ． art had little influence on students' reading abilities

B ． the students with good reading abilities performed better in art

C ． the students who were good at science had better reading abilities

D ． art helped the students with lower reading abilities learn science better

3 ． Students who started in an art-focused class still did well in a traditional class probably because _________________________.

A ． they had mastered creative ways to learn

B ． the art-focused class helped improve their memory

C ． the art-focused class taught them how to learn on their own

D ． they continued to sing the songs they learned in the art-focused class
