“Wewanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral
reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting, polluting and killing them,”
Salasaid.
The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in 2009. The team traveled to a

His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. The
government took steps to protect the waters from fishing. But between 2015 and 2016, record

After hearing thatnews, they lost hopeforthe health ofcoralreefs. Last year,they wentin

with life and color once more. Sala and his team were overjoyed. This is something that Sala

The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died. Despite the rise in temperatures,
there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs. The second was the

“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying
literally?Manyscientificstudieshavesoughttoeitherproveordisprovethisidea.
One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach
“perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm
Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music
groupTheBeatles andMicrosoftco-creator Bill Gates.Although theyallseemed to havelots of
natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became
successful.
Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done byAnders Ericsson, who argued that
Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average
figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More
importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of
practicewasalsoessential.Hewentontoexplaintheimportanceof“deliberatepractice”,which
is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a
whole.
AmorerecentstudyfromPrincetonUniversitystatedthatpracticeonlyaccountedforupto
26% of reaching an expert level. Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on
becominganexpert.Anothernaturalfactoris physicalsuperiority,whichisespeciallyevidentin
sports. IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive, too. But becoming an expert
doesn’tequalinstantsuccess,whichalsoreliesonsocialandenvironmentalfactors.
In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to
lead to significant improvement. Based on Ericsson’s research, here are some tips on how to
practise effectively: be motivated; make specific and realistic goals; work outside your comfort
zone;beconsistentandpersistent;andgetplentyofrest! Forthosewantingtobecomeanexpert
in something, remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your
passions.

If you have never grown your own transplants for your garden, perhaps this is the year to
try. 16 In gardening, transplantis the process ofplanting seeds inside and then moving
thenewgrowthoutside.
If you are new to this type of gardening, do not worry.Agarden expert Lee Reich recently
shared this advice. 17 Flowers such as zinnia, calendula, and cosmos are some of the
easiest.Goodchoicesforvegetablesarelettuce,kale,cabbage,andtheever-populartomato.
To get started, you need a container and soil. The container should be between 5 to 10
centimetersdeep.What’smostimportantisthatthecontainershouldhaveholesinthebottomso
that some water can drain out (排出). Garden soil, says Riech, will not work. It does not drain
quickly enough in a container. 18 Potting soil has additional material such as perlite,
vermiculite,orsandtoimprovedrainage.

Now for the exciting part－waiting to see little, green sprouts (芽)! Remove all but the
strongest sprout from each container. Your goal now is to grow strong transplants that can

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was September 1966, and I was twenty years old, facing my first class of kids as a new
teacher. Like most new, young teachers, I was full of enthusiasm and determined to make a
difference. My class was made up of thirty-eight angels and one street kid named Mike, a
10-year-old kid who never knew his parents and lived with an indifferent grandmother. His
clothing was in constant need of repair. Compared to the other kids around him, he was at a
distinct disadvantage. Being so young, I knew very little about parenting. However, I did
recognize a child in need,and decided to reach outand see if I could make a difference.And so
itwasthatearlyinSeptember,myspecial“fosterfather”relationshipwithMikebegan.
EachdayasIarrivedatschoolaround7:30A.M.,Mikewouldalreadybeintheparkinglot
waiting for me. Because he was usually hungry, I’d take him out for breakfast. I showed him
how to sew, and together we began mending his ripped and torn clothes. Each noon hour as I
shared my lunch with him, I taught him a host of new skills－for a while we worked on the
propermethodofusingamicroscope.Onanotherdayweconstructedapinholecamera,thenwe
classified rocks and minerals. One Monday,I taught Mike to play chess. By Friday ofthat same
week,hewasgivingmeareallygoodgame.Mikewouldthen“help”meteachtheseskillstothe
restofthe class.Weallhada lotoffun,andakindof unspokentrustbegan to buildupbetween
us.
高三英语试题 第9页 （共10页）Then early in October, at a class meeting, the kids were asked to talk about their dreams.
Most of them wanted to be doctors, musicians, teachers or some such things while an awkward
scene occurred when it was Mike’s turn to speak out his ultimate desire in life. Standing before
the whole class, he stammered (结巴) that he had no idea, with his face turning red. At that
moment,thebellrang.
